The Stupidity Of The Biden Administration Knows No Bounds

by Simon in

so picture this, you are suddenly withdrawing troops after 2 decades in a country and, well, its all gone to shit.. how do you ensure that your vulnerable citizens and allies can get out when the airport is surrounded and no one can get through?.

option 1: it's a trick question surely?

you don't get yourself into this mess in the first place - you withdraw the citizens first, not last, duh!.

Truth is, all US Administrations from Bush to Biden have been dismal failures in Afghanistan for the simple reason they have not addressed the fundamental reason the Afghan Army proved so useless – corruption!

I notice you used a headline with "Trump" in it in a typical but lame attempt to try to give the impression that Trump caused this, yet Trump did a phenomenal job on foreign policy. Seriously, what he did in his term was above reproach - all you can think of is fake news that never happened.

This was all on Biden.

They withdrew and gave away their heavily defended, easy-to-secure Bagram airbase and "kept" the domestic airport that is slap bang in the middle of Kabul, easier to surround and difficult to secure.

It's just blithering idiocy. You don't even have to have military experience to know it was profoundly dumb to the point that no one would chose that ... only an idiot would command it.

Every one of those Humvee's left behind should be Helfire missile from a drone.

Humvees are the least of the problem. Assume every high-tech weapon has already been sold to Russia or the Chinese.

Three and a half more years of Biden ...

by LoveUniHateExams in

how is the biden administration doing so far?.

biden reversed trump's plans for the border wall, and now america has thousands of illegal immigrants entering from mexico.. strangely, biden didn't reverse trump's plans for withdrawal from afghanistan, and instead pressed ahead with his own brand of lunacy, literally running away from afghanistan and abandoning its people to the taliban.. what is it with biden?

is he senile or just incompetent?

Simon

Now you know why they picked the thoroughly disliked Kamala as VP - she's "insurance" to put people off impeaching the brain-dead walking skin-sack of excrement.

Because Jesus Christ, what would that bitch do? Who doesn't think that however bad Biden is she would manage to pull off being worse?

Option 2: you give a list of names and addresses of all your citizens and allies TO THE ENEMY in the hope that they let through just the people you identified.

Option 3: you walk off to get an ice-cream without taking questions because you are a fucking retard.

Biden and everyone involved in this needs to see some prison bars followed by a trial and then a firing squad. His solution to the balls-up seems to be to have every potential inconvenient potential hostage killed by the Taliban. It's hard to imagine any possible worse thing to do, than to give a list of names to the Taliban.

They just put those people on a kill list.

Kabul Explosions!

Biden caused this.

Unfortunately, there have been no singalong tweets from Celebrities yet, they all seem strangely silent, so Biden doesn't know what he should do about it.

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 ?

Simon

Wondered when you'd show up to post your China propaganda piece.

How would you respond?

if you tell a jw that he or she is in a cult and they asked you why do you say that?

how would you respond?.

Simon

I don't think telling someone they are in a cult is helpful - what do you imagine it's going to achieve? They have to realize it for themselves.

The best way to do that is to describe the thought processes and practices of other, similar, high-control groups and let them connect the dots to draw their own parallels.

Remember, it's easier to fool someone than to convince someone they have been fooled.

They did withdraw in secret. If they plan was to withdraw on Sept 11 and they slunk away in the night leaving people who depended on them, then it was in secret and it was disorganized.

No one with a half-functioning brain can describe what has gone on as a "good plan" or any kind of plan at all. It's a debacle and you ARE attempting to paint it as no big deal and something Trump planned, which is a complete and utter lie.

No more fake news please.

Trump was all for getting out of Afghanistan

Again, it's not the leaving, it's the manner of the leaving and lack of planning and organization.

Give it up in your lame attempts to suggest it was Trump's fault because this is all on Biden.

And if you are one of the few who voted for him (no way was it ever 85m) or took advantage of the fraud to support him being declared the winner, then this is all on YOU.

All the suffering. All the beaten women. All the raped children. All the tortured murdered men. YOU caused it, YOU helped make it happen, because elections have consequences and stolen elections to install corrupt and senile incompetent assholes have the biggest consequences of all.

Taking The Knee 14 months after George Floyd's death

by LoveUniHateExams in

taking the knee became popular among sportspeople immediately after the death of george floyd in may 2020.. most football (that's soccer to you yanks) players are still taking the knee before matches more than a year later.. what has it achieved?

.

what do expect it to achieve in the future?.

Sure, genuine racism should be fought, I'm with that. Those morons who racially abused Saka and Rashford on social media - give then lifetime bans, get the police involved, whatever.

They should publish all details of all incidents, not just selected ones to prove the problem, so we can see how many and what proportion are genuine incidents and how many are fake. Because I wouldn't be at all surprised if BLM types were some of those sending them. Often activism has a habit of making adherents become the perpetrators when they want to amplify the problem they face in a misguided way.

Also, what a stupid approach it all is. If you were being bullied as a kid, what is the one thing you wouldn't do? Let people know that something bothered you ...

When instead you publicly bemoan the mean words you show that it bothers you and then what are people going to use?

People use words to hurt, and will use whatever words they think hurt most, usually the most obvious. If they want to insult someone who's fat, they don't call them stupid, they reference the most obvious physical attribute that they are likely most sensitive about.

So announcing what insults you the most to the world ... what do people expect the response will be?
