Everyone vested in the military industrial complex would like to have multiple incessant wars.
The United States spent vast sums of money proping up south Vietnam.

You are certainly welcome to label it anything you like, as am I.

The whole thing is just mind blowing. I can only hope other countries know how outraged Americans are over this.

Our soldiers beat the Vietcong on the battlefield … but the communists defeated our civilians’ attitudes … particularly the young Left wing civilians.

So is ours. So is yours.
You don’t abandon your countrymen. What does that make Biden?

I’m sorry. American’s are being left behind?
Can you elaborate?
Thanks.
Which is completely unconscionable.

If you read the news, you’d not have to ask for elaboration.

There are Americans scattered all over Kabul and contractors in other parts of the country. There is a huge risk that we may have to pull out before we get them all out. After all warnings were sent out for Americans to shelter in place and that they were most likely in danger.
And if that happens, if we have to abandon Americans in this evacuation, Biden is ■■■■■■■ done.

LOL- nothing- they should never have treated the Taliban like legit stakeholders while ignoring the legit Afghan government. Disgraceful.

It is so heart-wrenching. I am absolutely shocked to my core and sickened over it.
It’s absolutely disgusting.
I get a withdrawal. It’s been a long time coming.
But if we leave Americans in that ■■■■■■■ hellhole… it’s absolutely unthinkable. We are already going to abandon the Afghans that helped us. But to leave Americans???
If that happens, Biden is done. Done done done. His administration has already ■■■■■■ this up bad enough. There won’t be any way to talk his way out of it if even one American is abandoned.

How are they going to get out? “Make your way to the airport, we can’t guarantee your safety.”
Women can’t even be on the streets.
I’m not caring about Biden or his cluster ■■■■ of an administration. If he has to leave in shame it will never, ever make up for this.

Wasn’t trying to be a smart ass, was just asking for clarification on what you were referencing.
I hadn’t heard/read the latest about this.
They won’t be able to get out. They will be held as hostages.
And considering how much more uncivilized the Taliban are than the old Clerics of Iran back in 79… I don’t even want to think about it.
You’re right. There’s absolutely no way he can make up for this. The die was cast the moment they decided not to plan for this outcome. An outcome that most people could have predicted.
