Damn. I don’t know what is more sad, the scene over there or the lack of vulnerability in this thread. Regardless of political affiliation, anyone who can’t admit each “team” has significant culpability in this mess, they are part of the problem. This goes far beyond any single administration or party. If you can’t see that then it might be time to change your view.

Every president has had a hand in it all the way back to Bush.

But Biden is in charge now and we haven't heard from him.

It's a shit sandwich but he needs to suck it up and start chewing.

He's on fucking vacation, but said he'll "take up the issue in the next few days". His press secretary is sending out-of-office auto-replies while Afghanis are falling off of C17s trying to escape torture and death.

where's John Lee Pettimore @John Lee Pettimore to explain how this is sooooo much better than what Trump tried to do.
get in here and defend this depravity.

Pinked. I have to admit that is a silver-lining to this otherwise disastrous situation. Can you imagine the meltdown? TMMAC would need to upgrade its servers.

nothing says "Leadership" like dashing from one tone-deaf humanitarian disaster to the next when public opinion turns against you.

FFS. nobody's even talking about Haiti or the pandemic, just watching this mass torture/murder unfold before our eyes with a MSM blackout.
the real horror will be when the truth starts to leak out in a couple weeks, but the extent of it won't be known for years...maybe decades.

I'm honestly hoping he pulls this off and comes across as a strong, competent leader.

Could you at least put something in her mouth so she can’t get any more words out?
lol. even i cant stand most of CNNs anchors and pundits due to their biases and corrupt swing. but she's an exception. i always love her segments, and she comes across as a genuinely compassionate woman

plus, she's brave as hell and/or insane, both of which are awesome

Any 30 SN bets happening?

There were conditions for the taliban to follow, You didnt see them acting up during trump.


Trump backs off peace talks

Taliban kills a bunch of people including American

Trump comes back to the table anyways only to have the Taliban attack our base one day later:

Talks have a "brief pause" after they attack our base

And then immediately resume...to sign a peace accord:

This deal was overwhelmingly favorable to the Taliban.
But at no point did the Taliban stop acting up except after this favorable peace of accord. Part of this negotiation strategy was to continue from a point of strength and making the whole war politically unpalatable. They continued bombings and then backed off after they got thousands released and secured their future.

They only ramped up the bombings again when Biden extended the deadline past May in an attempt to make it look like a coordinated and non-rushed leave. It could have been even worse if we had left in May, although it probably wouldn't have made an appreciable difference in Taliban takeover.

it's amusing to watch the Dems and Reps trying to blame each other for a 2 decade shitshow they unanimously approved and profited from.
