It's funny that the right-wing media thinks this is a winning talking point and that it's worth it to lie by omission about Trump ordering the withdrawal.
All of mainstream media thinks it's a winning talking point much the same way it was a winning talking point to criticize Trump for wanting to leave. The war machine must be fed.
For sure, the establishment media has always been all in on the war, but the weird part is that the pro-Trump outlets now thinks it will play to his base.
The only pro-Trump outlet is Fox News. I mean nonsense like OAN and Newsmax exist but there are very few people who can pass a psyche evaluation that also take them seriously.
What was America doing in Afghanistan the last 4 years?… 20 years?
Further securing opium fields?
The Taliban has controlled most of them for a long time.
Nope, it’s all about the opium.
So if the Afghan's were as well-equipped as any army in the world, is it safe to assume that the Taliban is now as well-equipped as any army in the world?
Probably. Its what we saw with ISIS and the Iraqis just taking off.
If the media covers the atrocities that are surely going to happen it won't be a good look for him.
@Willthiswork said - it was always going to be an ugly exit.
Unless Chynah helps them out.
what percentage of americans are going to hang on to sympathy for afghannys for more than a day or two tho?If the media covers the atrocities that are surely going to happen it won't be a good look for him.

But the optics of being completely wrong about the Afghans being able to defend themselves and the speed in which they failed isn't great.
It depends on how long the media keeps it the focus.
why would we have sympathy for a poorly spelled version of their currency?
how do you expect the mo-mos of this site to understand such a poorly spelled version of the word "country?"
I will concede this point. The 'no helicopters off the embassy roof' line is going to fuck him pretty hard.If the media covers the atrocities that are surely going to happen it won't be a good look for him.

the only people who are going to care about that are non-biden voters anyway
That was an unnecessary specificity. I mean how else would you get the embassy staff out if you're worried about their safety?
