VietNam’s “boat people” have been a positive thing for America.

Afghans maybe not so much.

Biden’s not only a hack. He’s a stupid, offensive hack.

“President Biden has been in favour of pulling out for years”

If I had a son like Hunter, I’d probably be in favor of pulling out too.

And there ya have it. All he cares about is what he can “get away” with.

I’ve seen a lot of people blaming Nixon for the “boat people’ and Saigon. He wasn’t in office. Ford was.

Nixon said something similar when the post-Watergate weather started changing for him.

The Democrats, quoth he, get away with this kind of stuff ALL THE TIME! But it’s true. We don’t accept it from Republicans.

There are some parallels but as far as execution goes this doesn’t really compare. Nixon negotiated while at the same time bombing the heck out of the north. In the end it was a failure but not for lack of trying.

Trump did draw the forces down, but the forces that remained kept the Taliban in check. When the Taliban broke their agreements they paid a price; often with military force.

Now there are people trapped all over that country. Americans, others, and Afghans who were are allies, aides, translators and so many others. What we see at the Kabul airport is the tip of the iceberg. No real effort appears to have been made to bring them in to a safe zone before letting the Taliban run amok.

You think this might have been an important piece of information before the election?

Then why wait until now when Trump’s agreement said May 1st?

The North Vietnamese regime got what they wanted. That is all of their country, plus international recognition. That secured, their war is over.

The Taliban war aim is what?

Nixon was out before 1975. Ford owned it after Congress refused funding to S Vietnam. Oh, Biden a senator then and voted against funding.

Throughout the Trump administration, the DailyMail could not say enough bad about Trump and Melania, nor enough gushing adoration of the Obamas.

it’s a damn shame they cried such wolf, when faced now with the ugly truth of the Democrat globalists’ inhumane agenda. DM completely eroded its own credibiiity.

It’s giving me cognitive dissonance to read them appearing to criticize Biden, no matter how much he deserves it, because of all that they did before.
