  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.

  The unfolding crisis in Afghanistan is completely Joe Biden's fault, nobody else's

  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..

  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.

  What an embarrassing debacle.

  Who will volunteer to help the US in future?

  This is on Biden, but also on Bush and Blair and all the war-mongers who pushed for a pointless war based on lies, and then continued the lies for the next 20 years.

  The US spent two decades apparently building and equipping an army ... one that folded like a deck-chair within days.

  What a joke. Next time "intelligence" officials tell you something, remember: they don't know jack shit about anything.

  And Biden is still an incompetent corrupt racist fool.

  The Taliban is now in possession of all the advanced US weapons that were left behind, including military drones.

  Good job Biden, go get an ice-cream ...

  “Well at least he doesn’t make mean tweets”

  i asked a tennis friend this morning what he thought about what’s going on in afghanistan and he said it was terrible.

  he was a military man and identifies as a middle of the road republican.

  he supported most of trump’s policies but voted for biden because he couldn’t take trump’s mean tweets.

  Biden has now provided the Taliban with an expensive hi-tech arsenal of US weapons. The Taliban now have advanced drones plus caches of other weapons and vehicles, all at the US taxpayers dime.

  What an utterly shambolic withdrawal. Hard to imagine a worse outcome.

  what is it about some jws that they can't see the flip-flops of the wt's changing doctrine?.

  some of the flip-flops involved the death of many of it's members, and it was not even biblical based.

  yet for some reason they can't seem to grasp the significance of the matter.

  It's easier to fool someone than to convince someone they have been fooled.
