so, there's been a lot of talk on social media, blaming trump for the current crisis that began at the weekend.. it's a load of bullsh!t from deluded people who are desperate to blame anyone but joe biden, the idiot they voted for or at least wanted to win last november.. there is only one person, just one person, to blame: joe biden.. he has the heavy burden of making tough presidential decisions.. and after this debacle, it's reasonable to ask if he's up to making such decisions..
@Rattigan - if he wanted the US to leave, he could have withdrawn in a more sensible manner.
The US, UK and Nato could have left a small-ish group of special forces to provide support for the Afghan army and keep a lid on the Taliban.
But Joe Biden doesn't give a toss.

i wonder if anyone can explain this.
ezekiel 34:25 says .
and i will make a covenant of peace with them, and i will rid the land of vicious wild beasts, so that they may dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the forests.. the land is said to be rid of vicious wild beasts, so why does the watchtower picture in the new pure worship book show a large predatory cat on the tree in this picture?
You sure that isn't the Cheshire Cat and Alice? - Lol.
I thought it looked a bit like that scene in The Jungle Book (1967).
"Come on, Man-Cub, get up in that tree. Things will look better in the morning."
“nothing is more beautiful than a guitar, save perhaps two.” — frederic chopin.
that said, here are a couple of classical duo guitarists at their best.
both guitar duos play with distinguished musicality:.
Sorry, I know that this isn't classical but just listen to this solo from Prince!
Solo starts @3 min 28 sec ...
in a scene reminiscent of the fall of saigon, the usa embassy staff have been evacuated by helicopter.. for a third time in asia ( a fourth, if you count usa supported chiang kai shek's defeat in mainland china) usa supported forces have been defeated.
more than 1 trillion dollars wasted and a huge deathtoll (both sides) afghanistan is back to where it started,.
will the taliban behave differently this time ?
I understand why the West went into Afghanistan - to clear out the Taliban and catch Bin Laden - but they sadly didn't really have a long-term plan.
Joe Biden - a supposed feminist - has abandoned Afghani women to the misogynist Taliban, who are notorious for treating women and girls as young as 12 as sex slaves and chattel. Weird, huh ...
thousands of migrants have come to england this year, already beating last year's total.. some may have fled syria and other war-torn countries; others are economic migrants.. let me try to get my head around this phenomenon: migrants are relatively safe in france and other countries.
they then leave the relative safety of continental europe and risk their lives and that of their children by crossing the english channel in rubber dinghies.
there's just no fixing stupid, is there .
trying to get away from probable certain death in their war ravaged country - but, Stan, they're travelling to the UK from France.
And last time I checked, France isn't a war-torn country.
You're gonna have to do better than that, lol.
will we close down again?
will we be masked forever?
will we be required to get vaccinated over and over again?
Covid is as high as it was back in February where only 10% had a shot. Now 70% have the shot and the numbers are high again - but number of deaths per day are down.
The vaccines are working.
will we close down again?
will we be masked forever?

We may need to have boosters, like vulnerable people do to protect against the flu virus.
As for the virus itself, it is likely to evolve variants that are more infectious but less dangerous to the host. This is a trade-off that most types of virus make. Any health official telling you new variants might be more dangerous are usually just scaremongering.
We'll learn to live with the virus. I think there could be local lockdowns if hospitalisations rise during winter but I don't think there will be another total lockdown.

you and others like LUHE have not told me how the U.K absorbing just over 20,000 asylum seekers per annum is a "Migrant Crisis" - just over 20, 000 migrants crossing the channel in rubber dinghies is a very serious matter.
It's utterly ridiculous to try and cross the channel in this manner when you can just walk across a land border to Germany or Belgium.
I don't know how many migrants have thus far drowned in the channel but it's very sad.
But, as Simon says, it's on them.
And when there are children in the dinghies then their parents are to blame.
