The way biden pulled out and left everyone there high and dry was wrong.

His administration had people coming to them with plans on a safer way to pull out.

I agree we should have been out a long time ago.
I disagree, this is absolutely a blemish on biden's presidency.

You even have people on the left, democrats shaking their head and turning their back on biden after this fiasco.

what popularity? biden voters don't like biden. this guy is a senile empty shell that wanders the white house lawn looking for his office.

Im no biden fan. Look up some of his speeches from the 80s/90s. that guy had a fire behind him.

Seeing the guy today is just sad, what he is subjected to amounts to elder abuse.

Some days i do feel bad for the guy, but not for very long.

The pull out was definitely done poorly, announcing dates like an idiot was always a dum dum move everyone criticized forever. Not evacuating all the people who would be killed on your own time when you have full force in place was another no brainer move that didn't happen.

Fact is that the money that could be made in afghanistan was made and the defense contractors don't really mind what goes on after that so there wasn't a lot of leadership left.

Just go look at who made out well from the war in afghan, and you will be able to trace back the actual purpose of the war pretty easily. Like looking at the end of a maze and going backwards, its just easier that way.

Same with coronavirus. Who made money? That is the intention. Nothing is bungled, things play out as intended for maximum benefit of someone, it's just never you.

Biden's Afghan exit plan is The Titanic except the ship's crew took all the life boats leaving all the women and children on board to fend for themselves

Is this the thread where we spin the impending deaths of thousands of innocents as somehow a necessary or good thing?

No one cares. About their own neighbor, let alone some third world nation of crazies. The Associated Press of Haliburton and Boeing are full of shit - the American public is all for withdrawal - get out and stay the fuck out - shouldn't hurt Biden's popularity one bit, as they claim.

Mike Pompeo: we went from 15,000 troops to 2,500 in 1 month and had no problems, biden withdraws 2,500 and it's total chaos.

In an election, that right there true or not true, is like a hydrogen bomb.

Abandoning the air base and grounding all air support was the straw the broke the camel's back

All on Biden

The only way the democrats will weather this storm in the next election will be due to tribalism, this is a catastrophic failure of global politics.

The idea that our top men thought that the heroin addict army they piecemealed together from homeless people was going to be able to stand up against an enemy that nukes and f-15's couldnt defeat for 20 years just shows massive incompetence.

I posted a VICE video about afganastan from 2 years ago last night, and the guy they were interviewing said literally:

"we're not going to be leaving military equipment behind for the taliban to take over, we've made those mistakes in the past and we know better now"

What did we do? exactly that.

It shows that we knew better yet someone effed up royally. And it's going to be very easy in election season to point at the person who was in charge.

They control the voting machines

I don't think they are too worried

These 70s Toyota truck driving ak wielding taliban criminals got a free 21st century arms upgrade.

Thanks Biden, yeah that's great. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

i think we can thwart a republican trifecta, but it's pretty grim.
