In no particular order he blames:

1) Members of Congress - Both sides.

2) Liars in government, particularly generals and those in the intelligence services.

3) The military industrial complex who fleeced the taxpayer for 20 years.

4) The MSM parroting the propaganda, many connected to defense companies. He says the corruption runs deep.

5) American citizens for accepting it and not rising up.

Agree or not?

Ron Paul is an idiot. Always has been. The point is not whether Afghanistan was winnable, but rather how it ended, and the complete and utter incompetence of the withdrawal. That is all on the Biden Admin.

I totally agree with Paul.

He nails it on all points.

Not relevant to the current evac crisis.

Blame America First Ron Paul speaks! Don’t blame Biden for the decisions he and his administration alone made in the last few months!

They put up the rainbow flag at the US Embassy in Kabul on June 1, 2021.

They might as well have put up a Nazi Flag in Tel Aviv.

A headline to grab attention. RP is not adding much to the evac discussion.

I blame Biden for screwing up the withdrawal, but the fault of this mess lies at the feet of Bush and Cheney — along with virtually everything that grew out of it that turned our free country into a jack-booted surveillance state.

Here that Liz — you worthless bitch...?

Sorry Rand. The issue is execution. Biden failed. Period.

Cheney/Bush set the table to be sure. But Biden botched the exit.

Paul is an isolationist. I don’t agree with that policy.

The issue at hand here is the desertion of civilians

Mr Paul

It is a disgrace

No one that was paying attention thought this wouldn’t happen form the word go. From the time I was told in my living room, “they want guys over in Afghanistan. Can I go?”, and I answered, “knock yourself out”

I know that we had no further 9/11s and that there was a peace.

It is the graveyard of empires not for nothing

But you don’t leave, military first weapons and ammo behind and civilians last.

To what? Bribe the taliban?

The taliban are not the Iranians.

That’s the issue.

It’s not even a country

They’re not going to listen to the UN

Save it Ron paul

Sorry Ron but I’m not seeing the profit margin from Afghanistan.

Yeah have to agree. Nobody is blaming Biden for starting the nation building. We are blaming him for the messed up withdrawal.
