people hanging on the side of an airplane as it lifts off are basically committing suicide. if it wasn't an attempted suicide, it was a remarkably bad decision.
with that said, i'm all for bringing as many afghan refugees as possible.
What a terrible thing to say.
Why am I not surprised?

Less than 2500.
Looks like we are leavinvg tens of thousand behind. UK, France are turning to Russia and China for help to get theirs out after Aug 31, the head of CIA secretly met w Taliban to beg.

France had 1400 people, all logistical, not combat troops.
UK confident it can get Britons out of Afghanistan, Ben Wallace says
That was a week ago...
*talking points updated beep boop
This was yesterday
Thats what winnnners do tbqh
Even Boutons level morons know you don't hang onto the side of Piper Cub when it's taking off, much less a C130. The pilot can only see forward down the runway...how was he supposed to know the three morons didn't jump?
There were hundreds of ppl running with the plane. He easily could have run over a few. Theres also the control tower and also video from within the plane of the kids hanging on.
They qbsolutely knew. They decided to not give a .
Totally agree.
In fact, given how crowded the runway was (not to mention the plane), more might have been hurt if they tried an emergency landing.
Hanging on to the plane was suicidal. I don’t blame the pilots at all.

Thats it and thats all.
Time to pack up our and GTFO. Get our soldiers put of there ASAP
We have 7000 sitting duck in the airport.
If Joe has any sense left we will start vacating the premises.starting today.
Now we know why the CIA met with the Taliban yesterday. "We don't really want to evacuate all the afghans that wanted to go but would like you to take the blame...clear the airport so our Americans can get out and we will make it worth your cooperation. Remember all those pallets of cash we sent the Iranians?"
Forget those poor allies tyat helped us for 20 years. What a betrayal. We basically sold them to save some face and most likely also added a few million $ as payment.
RIP those poor bas s. But they did trust the US nobody forced them. Play stupid games....
Helped us? You mean helped themselves. It's their country. I cannot believe the French left and betrayed us after the Revolutionary war.
Not a very good analogy since the British lost.
They helped us launder the taxpayer money back to the contractors and US/West elites. Of course they helped us. Not you or me but the ones who made a bundle there.
They were promised stability and prosperity by US. Now they get the chop shop. Play stupid games....
From now on I will laugh at the next groups of stupid s that allow US democracy spread in their countries
The Taiwanese are truly ed![]()
Britain retreated just like the Taliban, and just didn't return afterward. The Taliban didn't advance until the Americans withdrew.
The Colombians do the same thing. Should we occupy them (again)?
Yup my country is a US puppet and currently getting ed. I warned those morons. Play stupid games. Never trust a gringo overseas. Never ever
DMC, just admit it was a bad analogy. Its just a message board.
It was a fine analogy. I don't see any problem with pulling out of Afghanistan. Maybe it could have been handled better but you have a country full of potential Islamic terrorists, uneducated goat ers and warlords. They will welcome the Taliban back after a few public executions.
there's an element of personal responsibility to this, anyone still there has ignored numerous strong diplomatic warnings about the hazards of staying.
