Scary and sad image. No sense of Biden in charge, just looks like a weak feeble old man slumping forward unaware on what is going on around him.

No. What should have happened was to bomb wherever Osama bin Laden was staying into a moonscape and then we leave.

Afghanistan, I believe, has to go extinct on its own terms.

It could be that it was being sabotaged to hand it over to China so China can get the estimated trillions in rare earths.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Biden was doing China’s bidding in the matter.

“Where is the Afghanistan military?”


It appears they transferred loyalties to the Taliban.

I totally agree.

( I was, and still am, pushed when we stopped bombing Hanoi till it became a moonscape )

I just asked this question on Quora, just to annoy liberals.

Will Biden open up a can of Corn Pop on the Taliban for what they are doing in Afghanistan?

I’m more concerned about getting our troops out. They’re being dropped in a fishball while surrounded by the worse. No easy way out of this.

Embassy personnel who have not been vaccinated will not be evacuated.

But Biden told me this wouldn't happen.

It will be very difficult to get us embassy staff out Kabul.
It will not be like the fall of Saigon. There is no close allies and no ships to land on. Helicopters would go where? I don’t know if a helicopter would have the range to get out of Afghanistan without midair refueling capability.

Very scary for our US Troops and embassy staff.

Complete incompetence of the Biden administration and pentagon.

Obama generals. Every general officer is one that got promoted by Obama or his traitors under Trump.

Other people have commented that (1) withdrawing from Afghanistan during the “fighting season”, instead of during the winter when fighting is minimal is strange. Biden and his gang of Marxists are well aware of this fact yet this is the time they chose to quit and evacuate Afghanistan.
(2) Biden ordered the evacuation of Bagram Air Force base, which houses our most advanced aircraft. Why? This is the airport that would be the logical choice to evacuate personnel. Isn’t it odd that that Bagram was evacuated with no notification to anyone.
(3) Pres. Biden stated on July 8, 2021 that the Afghan Army would defend Afghanistan from the Taliban. Untrue.
(4). Where are our intelligence agencies? What information did they give or hide?
(5) Why is Biden sending 5000 soldiers to evacuate personnel from Afghanistan using helicopters ?
(6) Why is Pres. Biden putting our military and staffers from many U.S. agencies lives at risk just before the anniversary of 9-11?
Is Joe Biden and his administration guilty of treason?
