  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..

  It is a humanitarian crisis in the first place and having a place under that form of religious rule should never be acceptable. If we didn't go in, we could've at least kept providing freedom-loving Afghans with air support until they got their own air forces ready.

  You seem to have forgotten that there was no humanitarian reason that the war in Afghanistan started. It was based on a litany of lies and then perpetuated with more lies over the next 20 years - the biggest being that we were transforming the country so it could stand on it's own two feet. After 2 decades, trillions of dollars and thousands of lives, it didn't last an afternoon.

  Lies, lies, lies.

  If there was a humanitarian mission to actually change the country, it would need to kill more people to be successful. The stories that troops tell of hearing children being raped and being told not to intervene because "culture" is why nothing changed.

  But then that was the plan. The trillions of dollars are spent on the war but don't stay in the country - they go back to the US and into people's pockets.

  This was never a war that was fought to win or to change anything, just to maintain the status quo and keep going, and going, and going ...

  ... until the wheels finally come off and it becomes untenable.

  The best description I've seen of Afghanistan is that it's a "Schrodinger War":

  We should never have gone
  We should never have stayed
  We should never have left

  And even after this crowds of people will still vote Democrat.

  They never had crowds. They just counted the votes in secret.

  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 ?

  The US didn't leave victorious. They left with the world laughing at their stupidity and incompetence.

  I can hardly blame his administration.

  That's because you are a fucking moron who's only concern is "Orange man bad / Biden good". You are literally more concerned about scoring points and propping up your corpse-president than the thousands who will be brutally killed and the kids who will be raped.

  Which senile idiot withdraws troops BEFORE civilians and allies, when it's clear as day that those civilians and allies will be targeted?

  He's even left US citizens at the mercy of the Taliban. It's like the Iranian hostages from the 70's, but with 10's of thousands of US citizens instead.

  Biden is a senile moron and you are a moron for thinking this is all OK.

  I wonder if this is all really a ploy in order to keep their forever war going and to pour troops back in. It certainly isn't a real plan for a withdrawal, not one by serious people.

  The real decision made here by the Biden administration was to follow though with the plans Trump already made.

  No, don't lie and spread your fake news. That is pure BS. The plan was not to withdraw troops and leave civilians.

  That idiotic plan is all on Biden. Only a senile old fool would think that qualified as any kind of plan at all.

  Unless they have some evidence such as making a complaint at the time or specific reason they had for fearing coming forward (e.g. president of the US) then these 60 year old claims are just ridiculous - on what basis are they to be judged? what evidence can be brought? how is someone supposed to defend themselves?

  The likes of Bill Cosby were clearly guilty because complaints were made and covered up or ignored, yet even he is now out because "technicals".

  The rules of law are there for a purpose and standards of evidence can't be suspended just because some social justice hashtag trended.

  But isn't it going to be ironic that Cuomo made that law ... although his allegations are fresh. But watch for nothing happening with a recent case such as his.

  Woman claims to suddenly remember a crime 60 years after the fact which is absolutely unrelated to the alleged singer's recent sale of his song catalog for $300m+

  In other news, the singer was on tour in California and Europe for the months that the alleged crimes are claimed to have occurred in New York.

  When the U.S. located bin Laden's hideout in Afghanistan and bombed it military forces soon learned that bin Laden escaped.

  If he was ever there. Don't fall for the mistake of believing anything that the DC warmongers tell you. Remember the James Bond Villain style graphics that has Bin Laden living in some hollowed out mountain lair? It's all BS propaganda to justify them bombing somewhere.

  Why bomb Afghanistan? Well once you drop the bombs you have to buy more. Imagine if you own shares in the companies that make them, how rich you can become ...

  Haven't people learned anything from the last 18 months? Governments and "experts" default position is often outright lies.
