Holy Molly. Taliban say they captured Kandahar. 2nd largest city. Kabul in grave danger. US embassy urges all americans to 3vacuate ASAP

[MultiTroll]

Very much what I expected him say. Sleepy Joe is like that.

The U.S. seems to be 2nd to no one at reconstructing blow ups and the investigation leading to the perps.

Or is that because they knew all along?

Ex-Pence Aide: Stephen Miller’s “Racist Hysteria” Made It Harder for Afghan Allies to Get Visas

the Trump administration made it much harder for Afghans who worked with the U.S. to apply and receive what is known as a special immigrant visa, or SIV.

Oliva Troye, a former top aide to Mike Pence who resigned in protest, has

placed the blame on Trump’s xenophobic adviser Stephen Miller, saying he peddled “racist hysteria”

in White House meetings about bringing Afghan allies to the U.S.

“Stephen Miller would say, 'Well, these are terrorist cells in the making if you bring them here,'”

“I know for a fact that the Trump administration was planning this withdrawal for several years,” says Troye.

“Why were they not actively prioritizing this population so that we wouldn’t be in the situation we’re in today?”

If Trump were still president and had done this withdrawal it would have not gone any better and he would be saying something like "promises made, promises kept" regarding his pledge to get us out of Afghanistan.

Stephen Miller is disgusting.

We can dream all we'd like but that doesn't equate to reality. This is Biden's mess and his actions are akin to being a traitor especially as he sold out all those Americans/Refugees to the Taliban with that list of who's who.

The reality is Trump struck this deal with the Taliban to leave. You can live in a fantasy land and pretend it didn't happen all you want.

U.S. Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation Zalmay Khalilzad (L) and Taliban co-founder Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar (R) sign a peace agreement between U.S., Taliban, in Doha, Qatar on Feb. 29.

20 year war is over. We lost. Time to go home and regroup

Yep, we bent the knee, kissed the ring and brought the wine to celebrate.

EDIT: And by "we" I mean Trump.

hater sure does miss his main man Trump. Gonna be rough for him when his man crush DeSantis wipes out.

Almost nobody even remembers Beirut at all or ever knew about it in the first place.

hypothetical:

which would bring more money and prestige to ISIS, US withdrawal, or staying to fight them?

[Winehole23]

(perhaps not so hypothetical, there was no ISIS before the US invaded Afghanistan and Iraq.)
