Actress Angelina Jolie ripped President Joe Biden’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, which she called “sickening,” and “a betrayal and a failure impossible to fully understand.”
“Whatever your views on the war in Afghanistan, we probably agree on one thing: it should not have ended this way,” Angelina Jolie wrote in an op-ed she wrote for TIME magazine on Friday, adding that as an American, she is “ashamed by the manner of our leaving.”
The Eternals star added that “appearing to cut and run, and abandoning our allies and supporters in the most chaotic way imaginable, after so many years of effort and sacrifice, is a betrayal and a failure impossible to fully understand.”
“It diminishes us,” Jolie affirmed. “We have lost leverage to influence what now happens in Afghanistan.”
The Maleficent star also created an Instagram account on Friday, explaining that she joined the social media platform because “the people of Afghanistan are losing their ability to communicate on social media,” so she wants to share their stories, as well as “the voices of those across the globe who are fighting for their basic human rights.”
“It is sickening to watch Afghans being displaced yet again out of the fear and uncertainty that has gripped their country,” Jolie wrote in her first-ever Instagram post, which she also used to share a letter that she said she received from a teenage girl in Afghanistan.
“To spend so much time and money, to have blood shed and lives lost only to come to this, is a failure almost impossible to understand,” the actress added, echoing her sentiments from her TIME op-ed.

Hey Angie, maybe you should’ve listened to your dad.

How did she vote in the last several elections again?

When you support useful idiots to a dead Soviet Union who are that tyranny’s cold dead hand still grasping for our collective throats you essentially are….
… I wonder if she could guess the correct answer?

I don’t understand all the animosity toward Angelina Jolie. She’s always struck me as a decent human being, trying to do the best she can with what she’s been given.

I’m a huge Jolie fan. She made/directed a really good movie about the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia called “First They Killed My Father” -

Very easy to understand. Biden was known as the dumbest man in the Senate for years. He has a 47 year public record of being on the wrong side of every single issue during that entire span. Couple that with the fact that he is senile as well as being a natural born f**kup and there ya go!

It’s more from a place of why is she so surprised that this would be the outcome?

"... a betrayal and a failure impossible to fully understand." Just how the liberal politicians like their constituency: as useful idiots. Most liberals I know cannot name specific policies would have Congress and the POTUS deal with. It's mostly feel-good stuff. Climate control. Save the environment. Racism. My body, my choice (except when it comes to the COVID vaccines - hypocrites!). Bake me my damn cake!

Me too. She helped produce “The Breadwinner,” which I found to be a helpful film.
