It’s the “Botched” part that upsets everyone.
I think most people were ready to see the US leave Afghanistan. This was/is so poorly handled, I have to think most of it is deliberate. Years ago, I would call anyone paranoid to even think our goverment could be capable of purposely screwing things up to this degree.

In my mind, Election Day of 2020 changed all that for me.
I now believe the powers that be in the US are indeed capable of, even likely to inflict ‘severe collateral damage’ on it’s own people in order to achieve some goal more expansive in the long run.

“The powers that be” in this country want most of us dead, the rest in chains.

Three really bright guys all starting from a false premise.

They think that the Democrat Party exists to try to provide good governance.

It doesn’t.

The purpose of the Democrat Party is to enrich Democrats.

Start from that premise and look at what the Democrats are doing.

Blechh

A lot of hand wringing

We’re supposed to feel shame? How? Why?

We voted for Trump. He would not have done this, there is no ag
Regiment about that

There are powers that currently supersede our election system and there are people attempting to fix that

The American people did not vote for this we did not want this incapable person and his Pentagon team in charge

What is mr whittle doing to fix the 2020 election? That is the answer to this

This will become much worse. There is no getting around it.

I’ve had enough of this guy

Afghanistan had 20 years to take care of this problem, they are the ones who failed.

Our failure was in actually thinking the Afghans would do anything about it.

“ Our failure was in actually thinking the Afghans would do anything about it.”

You all are thinking in a paradigm of Biden Is a legit president. He is not. Nor do the pentagon perfumed boys belong in the pentagon calling the shots

Whether the Afghans were ready or not has zero bearing on the decision that were made here and continue to be made

Biden and his people are never going to fix this. They are never going to think they are wrong. They were not put in the White House by the American people and they do not work for us. At all.

What ‘unbearable shame’?

Who will be punished for their part in this surreal clusterfk, which needs to be a large number of folks?

Who is resigning in shame? What about all those police suicides - isn’t this situation many times worse? We should expect to see even more of that here - call the counselors to talk them down from their ‘unbearable’ grief!

Or not, since that’s BS.

The Deep State’s only concern now is getting as many Afghan refugees into this country.
