Why do I think this was all planned since November. Now China will have free access to rare Earth metals to make electric car batteries and slave labor to do it with. Who ever said Humter didn’t do payback.

Biden scrambles to limit damage to credibility from Afghanistan

But that's the whole problem, all this Administration cares about is their PR image

Look at how much time & energy they invest in promoting their bogus PR crap, as compared to how much time they put into planning for what could go wrong with an Afghan withdrawal ... this is incompetence to the 100th power!

And Big Media is complicit in all this, they NEVER call the Biden bozos to account, they just dump on Trump again - so the stupidity continues unchecked ...

“Miscalculations”

BS. This was planned and expected. It diminishes America and empowers our enemies. That is the democrats’ ultimate goal.

Rather his team of soy boys with man buns are scrambling to fix their mistakes.

How do you fix calling in a nuke on your own position?

You didn’t abandon these people.

The fake Biden Administration, foisted onto you by unaccountable, corrupt elites, abandoned these people.

Leaders take blame and responsibility when things go wrong on their watch.

Losers seek out others to blame and attempt to avoid their own responsibility.

Biden. Want to guess which one he is?

Joe Biden “scrambles”?

Making stupid political moves and then scrambling probably only proves that stupid political moves were exactly that... Stupid.

This is 100% on the US media. They made Biden by trying to unmake Trump. They were the ones that covered up his dementia, they were the ones that focused on his ice cream and not his answers. They are responsible for this fiasco. They, along with their social media collaborators facilitated this. The guy they installed has allowed an invasion of hundreds of thousands of illegals, initiated the spread of the newest Covid strain by allowing infected illegals to move about the country unchecked. He oversaw the demolition of the US energy sector, the decimation of the senior ranks of the US military, the deconstruction of the thin blue line that kept American cities habitable. Now he has taken his show of incompetence on the road. There are 10-40,000 Americans in Afghanistan who will most likely be held hostage or killed because this idiot's handlers allowed their hate to throw aside an agreement that was designed to prevent the very thing that has happened. He was on TV begging the Saudis and OPEC to pump more oil after he blew-up the road to energy independence. The will soon go on TV begging the Taliban to not kill Americans while his people target members of the military that voted for Trump. Their enemy is not the Saudis who fund terrorism, the Chinese who are staging for an invasion of Taiwan, the Russians who are eye balling Ukraine, but people in the US who voted the wrong way.

Taliban are not stupid—They will round up all the Americans and sell them back to us at high cost—Billions of bucks. Behead a few on TV, and they are money in the bank. Its not like they have any love for America. They don’t need us anymore. When they run out of Yankees they can just capture some more!

...”he would regain credibility”


He cannot regain what he never had. Look at the 1986 tapes from his failed run for President. Same lying, cheating, plagiaristic fake.

Personally, I don’t blame Biden for this. The collapse of the Afghan Government was inevitable after we stopped propping them up. If the millions of Afghans who like the Taliban won’t defend themselves, then this is what they need to get used to.

But I do blame Biden for:
— Embarrassing the US on the world stage
— Stranding US citizens, as well as, those Afghans who bravely aided us
— Letting billions in equipment and infrastructure fall into the hands of the Taliban
— The inevitable migration of tens (and maybe hundreds) of thousands of unvetted Afghans to the West. Many of those on military transport

“Biden scrambles to limit damage to credibility from Afghanistan”

Their next headline:
“Cuomo scrambles to limit damage to dating prospects from serial sexual assaults”.
