View attachment 40858491 Not one sentence about the 70,000 evacuated in yet another doomsday write-up

Its all very well having figures on how many have been got out but more important is how many will be left behind, those who served the USA, with their families to face the retribution of the Taliban.
Why is it that history is never remembered, never taken in to account, surely the top brass can remember Saigon! If they cant the world does! This departure of the USA with its tail between its legs as it panics gives strength to its enemies, China, Russia both keen to step in the void and exploit the country while at the same time giving the rest of the western world reason to fear Afghanistan Terrorist Attacks - should there be one on USA soil with the rest of the world be in such a hurry to assist and help?

I wonder if Russia is really that keen to step into the Afghanistan void. They may remember history better than we do.

And that is what we can call the republican plan.

Loving the deflection here. But hey, what do we know? We’re on a big dick site, with a clearly slanted left leaning view. The real judges are the world, and the public opinion of our allies.

Big dicks lean to the left. I know mine does; let the world and public opinion judge.

Betsy Devos' Brother:

Blackwater founder Erik Prince is among the growing number of private defense contractors and former spies who are attempting to turn a profit on desperate Afghans who want out of their country before the U.S. shutters its 20-year mission on August 31. The Wall Street Journal reports that Prince, who faces U.N. sanctions over his sketchy work in Libya and whose Blackwater guards were convicted of murder in 2014 while providing security for Americans in Iraq, told the WSJ he is charging upwards of $6,500 a seat on a private charter out of Kabul. The paper was not able to confirm whether Prince even had the capabilities to carry out private evacuations.

Russia will be far more interested this time in supplying goods and just having a foot in the door so they can "influence".
Russia will remember.

Pointing out American War Profiteers in a thread about the collapse of Afghanistan is not deflection.

Very likely—though the U.S. may still try to influence as well. It's not like we're completely without leverage.

Kevin McCarthy is lying. Just an outrageous, dangerous lie.

So says someone who is part of group that for years and years , the 4 years of DJT and 8 years of GWB told us that they all gave less than a f--k about what the "world" or "our Allies" thought about anything. and when president Obama went around and told people that we did care and our attitude would be something other than "fuck you" all we heard morning noon and night was how he was on an "apology tour" even though he never once actually "apologized" for any specific thing much less utter the words "I/WE apologize

Biden and his supporters made rebuilding relationships with the world, with our allies, a central issue upon his taking office. “America is back.” Denial by the left, and a flippant comment made earlier in this thread, that world and public opinion do not matter is therefore not just a turnabout, but is also hypocritical.

The Rights hypocrisy when talking about Afghanistan is hilarious. Even good ol' Tucker is afraid of Afghan immigrants seeking asylum in the U.S. but is also crying for Biden to get all those poor people out

And we all know one who left the chaos and got on a flight. To Singapore.

Harris laughs at, shuts down questions as she says Afghanistan is her highest priority

Shes the VP, not the President.

Fuck them, most of the coalition eventually left as well. Makes no sense to stay any longer

A gentle reminder not to forget the history from Seth last night:

 

[b.c.]

Big dicks lean to the left. I know mine does; let the world and public opinion judge.

Well, seeing as how many right wingers and Trump supporters / apologists practically DISAPPEARED throughout TRUMP'S four year reign of terror, it's hardly OUR FAULT that most of the posts have been "left leaning."

So says someone who is part of group that for years and years , the 4 years of DJT and 8 years of GWB told us that they all gave less than a f--k about what the "world" or "our Allies" thought about anything. and when president Obama went around and told people that we did care and our attitude would be something other than "fuck you" all we heard morning noon and night was how he was on an "apology tour" even though he never once actually "apologized" for any specific thing much less utter the words "I/WE apologize

EXACTLY. And one need only take a stroll through THIS thread as an example of the responses when Trump up and abandoned the Kurdish army to Turkey.

Will Trump's Betrayal Of The Kurds Be The Last Straw For The Republicans? | LPSG

The DIFFERENCE being:

• YES, we ARE concerned about Americans who are still trying to get out of Afghanistan.

• YES, we ARE concerned about Afghans who are seeking refuge and asylum, you know, those Afghan IMMIGRANTS who right wingers are even NOW trying to call "spies and terrorists" and whose visa process Trump & Stephen Miller deliberately SABOTAGED.

• This INEVITABLE withdrawal from Afghanistan was SET INTO MOTION BY DONALD TRUMP AND POMPEO. Via a "deal" with the Taliban that MOST characterize as a "SURRENDER" AND by Trump's withdrawal of American troops prior to Biden's PRESIDENCY.

• UNLIKE KURDISTAN, There were some 20 YEARS of planning to turn Afghanistan over to the Afghan army, including training, intelligence, supplies, and ARMS. The Taliban met NO RESISTANCE. NO ONE EXPECTED THEY WOULD LAY DOWN THEIR ARMS.

Trump never wanted Afghans to flee, critics of Biden's handling of Afghan exit need to stop
