Tomorrow is the 76th anniversary of Japan's surrender and Hirohito's speech. BTW, it was the first time that the people of Japan had ever heard their emperor speak.

Democrat, Phony Democrats,Joe Biden & Kamala Harris both need to be removed from office by the Democrat Party. Both are total failures across the board. American People wake up...these evil people are destroying the American Nation Republic!!!

A heavily armed Taliban could invade China to save the Uyghurs who share the same religion. If that happens China could be in for a long fight which would be beneficial to the USA.

The news is the media is not ignoring the humanitarian disaster that’s occurring and they’re putting it on Biden. The media will not run a story even remotely critical of a Democrat with an ulterior political motive. It must be almost time to dump Biden.

> WHY did the United States leave behind tons of equipment? <

The fiction was that the Afghan National Army would continue to fight the Taliban on their own. So they needed that equipment.

And to be fair, Biden didn’t have much of a choice here. Had he pulled everything out, the United States would have been accused of abandoning an ally. And that accusation would have had some merit.

As for me, I’m directing my anger at the guy who botching Afghanistan from the beginning: George W. Bush.

The Taliban figures Biden is weak. Just like he was all through Obama when Barack put VP Joe in charge of Afghanistan (according to Bob Woodward’s book Obama’s Wars), and Joe neglected the hell out of it. Just as VP Kamala is neglecting her assignment of The Border.

1) Wouldn’t it have made sense to time our pullout/surrender to take advantage of winter? If we had waited a few months, the Taliban wouldn’t have had time to mop up before fighting season was over. Despite lots of terrorism, an orderly evacuation of Kabul by yearend, removing lots of weapons and munitions, etc. would have been possible.

2) As others posted, WHO planned and commanded this debacle? National Security Advisor, Joint Chiefs, Regional Commanders and staff planners, etc., should all be fired. This is what happens when politics runs a miltary.

3) I suspect the weapons in the pics were dumped by the Afghan Army we trained and equipped. We’ll be seeing those again.

The tons of equipment left behind are rewards to the folks who have the natural sympathy of the Left in America.
