Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ‘left speechless’ over Taliban takeover
NY Post ^ | August 17, 2021 | Sam Raskin

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle said Tuesday they were “devastated” and “left speechless” by the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan amid President Biden’s withdrawal of US troops.

“The world is exceptionally fragile right now. As we all feel the many layers of pain due to the situation in Afghanistan, we are left speechless,” the Megxit duo wrote.

Taliban members patrol the streets of Jalalabad city, Afghanistan on August 17, 2021, as the Taliban takes control of Afghanistan after President Ashraf Ghani fled the country.

Prince Harry served in the British Army and was deployed to Afghanistan twice.

They also weighed in on the devastating earthquake in Haiti. “As we all watch the growing humanitarian disaster in Haiti, and the threat of it worsening after last weekend’s earthquake, we are left heartbroken,” the couple said.

They’d be left speechless is someone asked them what 2 + 2 equaled.

NO ONE WANTS TO SAY IT OR USE THE WORDS, BUT BIDEN IS NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN VS. HITLER AND NAZISM ..................................................................................................................................................

Before leaving the "Führerbau," Chamberlain requested a private conference with Hitler. Hitler agreed, and the two met at Hitler's apartment in the city later that morning. Chamberlain urged restraint in the implementation of the agreement and requested that the Germans not bomb Prague if the Czechs resisted, to which Hitler seemed agreeable. Chamberlain took from his pocket a paper headed "Anglo–German Agreement", which contained three paragraphs, including a statement that the two nations considered the Munich Agreement "symbolic of the desire of our two peoples never to go to war again." According to Chamberlain, Hitler interjected "Ja! Ja!" ("Yes! Yes!") as the Prime Minister read it.[130]

The two men signed the paper then and there.

When, later that day, German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop remonstrated with Hitler for signing it, the Führer replied, "Oh, don't take it so seriously. That piece of paper is of no further significance whatever."[131]

Chamberlain, on the other hand, patted his breast pocket when he returned to his hotel for lunch and said, "I've got it!"[132] Word leaked of the outcome of the meetings before Chamberlain's return, causing delight among many in London but gloom for Churchill and his supporters.[133]

The Clintons already beat Halfwit and MeGain to the Haiti charity grift. I want to know what kind of moron would donate one penny to their Archewell Grift, I mean, Foundation, or whatever it is called.

It’s the game of silly ‘elites’ falling over each other to see who’s ‘most sensitive’ to the plight of third world losers.

Makes ‘em feel superior...
