Biden Is Betting Americans Will Forget About Afghanistan
The Atlantic ^ | 20 August 2021 | Peter Nicholas

Call it the white house’s dream scenario: In the end, the voters don’t blame Joe Biden. The president’s withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan simply aligns him with everyone else who has given up on the notion that the military could mold a fractious country into a stable democratic ally.

Just because you can’t remember what happened last week, Joe doesn’t mean that everybody else can’t.

Republican voters maybe.

Republican politicians are rats, not elephants.

No doubt this was done on purpose. They can’t have this happening during mid terms.

You may be right..but I don’t think they realize how badly they’ve s**t the bed this time. They always overplay their hand. And this one is a doozy.

Slo-Joe won’t make it to 2024, not in office he won’t.

By 2024 he will be off to the puzzle factory worrying about his fruit cup and his bimonthly bath.

I’m thinking that he will come down with FungFlu soon... it would be their easiest way to get him out.

One thing’s for sure: none of the leadership in Germany, France or the UK is ever going to forget.

I wouldn’t count on an invitation for Joe to come to any of the three countries for a long while. With the election in Germany shortly...I also don’t expect the new Chancellor to make a trip to the US until Biden is gone. Biden has left too big of a mess for them to clean up or manage within their own political scheme.

It’s quiet now, but it won’t be after August 31st

That’s when the Taliban starts playing hardball

No one will be able to forget Afghanistan then

This is Benghazi on massive steroids

We’re not forgetting. How can we even talk about forgetting while it’s still going on?

We can’t even count on good people in our government. We have to rely on patriotic dissidents. That’s how bad it is.

As far as I’m concerned the entire US government and anyone who gets a paycheck from them is an enemy of the US people. Including the fat tranny who delivers the mail.

Bumbling Biden The Betrayer thinks we are going to forget about the biggest embarrassing and harmful betrayal of our allies, friends, and countrymen in a place we spent 20 years, lives, treasure, and limb to secure plus arm our enemies with the most modern planes, firearms, and helicopters?

Never in a million years will we forget Benedict Biden and what he did to the world; not just the USA and our reputation.

Some of these GOP politicians are Assistant Democrats.

Relatively quiet

Compared with what will happen after August 31st, these will be remembered as “the good old days”

The deceptive propaganda masters at our beloved Service Star™ MSM will clean this story up “like it never even happened”.

Dominion Voting Machines disagrees.
