Does this just fucking crack anyone else up? I mean, its beyond funny. These people for 20 years bitched an moaned about how the US wasn't getting out of their way to let them run their country, and now that we are out, "oh, poor us! why isn't the US still here!?!?" AAHHAHAHAHAHAHA.
I don't care if biden is screwing it up or not. Get us the fuck out of there. If anything, lob a few moab s into the taliban advance, with a little hand wave on the way out!.
The only ones bitching are the ones who see their military contracts drying up, and the end of MIC kickbacks to their campaigns!

This may become the most infamous — and devastating — press conference ever held by an American President.

This Afghanistan vet just blew up MSNBC’s entire Biden-simping Afghanistan narrative LIVE ON AIR.
What a glorious takedown. Watch this.

Occam's razo says Biden is retarded.
Occam's Razor is not very good at explaining the machinations of evil because it's blind to evolved competitive thought processes in populations, psychopathy, counter evolved intra species predation etc.

Occam's Razor is often misunderstood and said to mean "the simplest explanation is usually the correct one". That's not what it really says. It says "the explanation with the least number of assumptions is likely to be the correct explanation" - and it stands to reason that an explanation with NO assumptions MUST be correct.
However, there is also the tracing of motive and opportunity, which OcRa isn't that good at. I don't think the quantum computers are operating on the premise of OcRa, more on chaos theory and variable, changing, multifactorial circumstances.
Taliban 'carrying out highly organised manhunt'
The Taliban are carrying out a highly-organised door-to-door hunt for people on their wanted list, says the head of the group providing intelligence to the UN.
"What we have seen is that the Taliban, in advance of moving into all major cities in Afghanistan, not just Kabul, is that they have a more advanced intelligence system," Christian Nellemann, of the Norwegian Centre for Global Analyses, told the BBC.
"They have lists of individuals and even within the very first hours of moving into Kabul they began a search of former government employees - especially in intelligence services and the special forces units."
He said that, not only could this lead to mass executions, but also a "mass revealing of our methods and the intelligence networks that the West has provided. So this could undermine severely a number of our Western intelligence services."
As we reported earlier, the Norwegian Centre for Global Analyses’ report to the UN also said the Taliban are recruiting new informer networks to collaborate with their regime.
In a surprising move given his high character and decency, President Biden has shirked all responsibility and laid blame for the Afghanistan debacle at the feet of President Trump. Per Biden's 'Rules Of Blame', since Trump had planned to withdraw from Afghanistan - and called no take-backs - any resulting carnage from the withdrawal, even if done in the most unbelievably heinous, idiotic way imaginable, would be Trump's fault.
"I can hardly believe what I'm hearing - withdrew the military before ensuring U.S. citizens were taken care of?" said a despondent Biden. "And the system to take care of local allies crashed? Bases were abandoned so fast that lots of weapons fell into the hands of the Taliban? It's enough to make you sick to your stomach. I'm talking triple-scoop mint chocolate kind of sick. But you know, it is what is. My hands are tied.

Absolute BS. He is the commander in chief, he had ample time to reverse decisions taken by prior administration.
Purely based on his inability to acknowledge his responsibility, he is unfit to lead.
Ousted Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has resurfaced in the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) after abandoning his post in the face of the Taliban’s advance to Kabul.
The U.A.E. foreign ministry confirmed Wednesday that Ghani was being welcomed into the country on humanitarian grounds. Ghani initially fled across the Afghan border into Tajikistan with a handful of close advisors as the Taliban encircled Kabul, eventually capturing the capital city.
New: Afghan ambassador in Tajikistan says President Ashraf Ghani escaped with $169m worth of cash in bags before Kabul fell to the Taliban, BBC reports.

Ghani is alleged to have stolen $169 million in U.S. currency when he departed Kabul. The Afghan Embassy in Tajikistan requested Wednesday that Interpol arrest Ghani for the theft.

Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield says U.S. expressed "in no uncertain terms" at the United Nations through "a very strongly worded press statement" from the Security Council that "we expect the Taliban to respect women's rights" and "to be respectful of humanitarian law."

OK, that will teach them. A strongly worded press statement!

CONGRESSMAN SEEKING TO RELAUNCH AFGHAN WAR MADE MILLIONS IN DEFENSE CONTRACTING
Florida Republican Michael Waltz made up to $25 million from the sale of Metis Solutions, a defense contractor with a spotty record training Afghan security forces.

FEW LAWMAKERS are as outspoken about the end of the war in Afghanistan as Michael Waltz, a Republican from Florida’s 6th Congressional District.
In recent weeks, Waltz has called on President Joe Biden to “reverse course,” relaunch military operations in the region, and “crush the Taliban offensive by committing American air power” supported by “special forces.” The Florida congressman has warned darkly of an “Al-Qaeda 3.0” and stated that no negotiations should take place with the Taliban “until the situation is stabilized militarily.”
Leading this push, in the pages of newspapers, over talk radio, and on cable television, Waltz couches his advocacy in his identity and experience. Not only is he a sitting memer of Congress, but he is a former Green Beret, a former aide to Dick Cheney, and “a father … sickened by what’s to come for the Afghan women and girls that are being mercilessly abused by the Taliban and sold into sex slavery,” as he wrote in opinion column published last week in Fox News.
There’s one crucial part of Waltz’s experience he tends to leave out: Before his successful run for Congress in 2018, he managed a lucrative defense contracting firm with offices in Afghanistan. The company was recently sold to Pacific Architects and Engineers, or PAE, one of the largest war contractors the U.S. has hired to train and mentor Afghan security forces. The deal personally enriched Waltz by up to $26 million, a figure made public by a filing disclosed this month.

Am I the only person laughing at the idea that Joe Biden pulled out of Afghanistan because he didn’t want any more American sons & daughters killed?
It’s Beijing-Biden.
Wake me up when the rest of the world realizes he just handed over Afghanistan’s lithium to China.

Looks like Biden may have dug his own political grave, the way everything is unraveling in Afghanistan.

Also, if Trump ain't getting prosecuted, he is prolly coming back for a second inning.
Thoughts ?
