Kabul madhouse

[Gman]

That C-17 is based up here at JBLM. I feel really bad for the crew.

The people willing to risk something like that likely know that they'll be tortured to death by the Taliban, so they take their chances.

Don't worry! Biden's UN ambassador issued a "strongly worded press statement"! That should fix 'em!

Shades of Jimmy Carter ... hell, at least his "stern letter of protest" went directly to the Soviets. Nope, Biden's got to do it via press statement ...

Maybe Biden will protest by having the US boycott the Kabul Olympics.

After the international outrage, I bet the US allies and us waste more resources and Desert Storm the taliban out of existence. While congress furthers the destruction of capitalism. And they will increase majorities at midterm as usually happens to wartime parties.

I see ZERO chance of that happening. There is no support on either side of the aisle for spending more blood and treasure anywhere in the Middle East, much less Afghanistan. You really think the democrats who clutched their pearls at the notion of Trump taking out an Iranian general would really support an escalation? No way, no day.

And I can't give anymore fucks for this shithole than thier own citizens do. 20 years, a whole generation, to build a national defense force with modern arms. But a bunch cavemen come and the drop arms and run. Why should we fight for them?

^^^^ This right here.

I mean, this is what they wanted, right? The Afghan people WANTED this to happen, didn't they? We gave them every chance to fight the Taliban for 20 years and they chose to either sit on the sidelines or actively aid the Taliban.

They wanted the US out? Well they got it. Salaam Aleiekum, motherfuckers. It's your shithole again, wallow in it.

so..About ashraf ghani.
if he abandoned his post as a president and run away to UAE with millions of dollars in cash, it is considered treason?
(if not , it should be)

Every politician in Afghanistan had two choices: Either join the Taliban in advance and help with the takeover from the "inside", or get the hell out of dodge. Not defending the guy, but it's the ones that didn't run that are more treasonous.

(almost) Everyone agreed we needed out of there. No question there. But the Biden admin f'ed it up big-time. They took a fairly solid plan and utterly destroyed it.

Then there's this. The world and especially our allies are pissed. It's not just the folks getting ready to lose their heads via Taliban in Afghanistan that are going to suffer from this f'up, our diplomatic relationships are.

In all fairness, the Europeans deserve this. I know a lot of Europeans, and 90% of the were Trump haters and now (at least as of last week) Biden worshippers. They wanted Biden. Now they get to see what happens when they get what they wanted.

+ eleventy brazillians on this.

They wanted Trump gone in the worst way.

And they got it.

They also pissed and moaned and filled their little diapers when we took out a brutal, sadistic dictator who was threatening their backyard so as far as I'm concerned, they can own all the shit that will now come their way. Don't like it? Then build up your military to our levels.

Just goes to show you how things come full circle, doesn't it?

Remember that song that was popular at the beginning of the war in Afghanistan?

"LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR!"
