Media outlets across the political divide in the US and Britain have united in their condemnation over Joe Biden's handling of the Afghanistan crisis amid what is being billed the biggest foreign policy catastrophe in 65 years.
Even Left-wing outlets such as CNN and The New York Times that would traditionally back a Democrat president have hit out at Mr Biden for his role in allowing insurgents to take Kabul after routing Afghan forces in just a week.
The Wall Street Journal condemned Joe Biden's statement 'washing his hands' of the situation, saying it should 'go down as one of the most shameful in history by a Commander in Chief at such a moment of American retreat'.

Why anyone would ally with the United State is beyond me.

Anyone will gladly take the US money—with the understanding that they may need to cut and run the other way at a moment’s notice.

I don't disbelieve this at all, but this is the first I've heard of Joe Biden saying this. If it's true he's toast, he's finished, he might not have the sun come down on him "at Camp David" tonite.
When, where, etc? Got a citation or a link?
Oh yeah, AND Kamala, AND Nancy and Chuckie and Steny. ALL OF THEM.

This whole thing going on in A’stan is no surprise to me. How would anyone be surprised or shocked with the king of the morons and all his creatures running things??
Their combined IQ’s, squared, could not make minus zero!

Because the United States is more than just Joe Biden and his team.

Biden crossed the Rubicon with this historic fiasco. For at least a generation, maybe more. Trump had begun to pull back some respect by defeating ISIS, after obama’s “ red line” BS. Peace was starting to break out all over the Middle East, Balkans, even a pause in North Korean belligerence,
But now?
America’s Suez moment.

Ol' Joe has been on the wrong side of every issue for 48yrs.
And he thinks he is a foreign policy genius. HaH !
