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.

I thought Clint Eastwood directed Unforgiven.
Yep, that's it. She is right about everything except that. Considering who Biden is and always has been it's not only understandable it should have been expected.
It's not just Burisma Joe either. Democrats today are just oozing with this sort of malignant behavior. I've been expecting worse things to happen for years now and to some extent they have.
Cmon FReepers. Where are the pics? Her lips alone are worth the price of admission.
You sure got that one right. Being on FR these days is like being in a room with a bunch of sour, drunk old men who have given up on life and have nothing better to do than sit around denigrating anyone who hasn’t.
Where’s the obligatory Hollywood slander of Trump before Biden can be criticized?
You are right!
It was UNBROKEN!
Awesome movie
Very close to what I intended to post.

You don’t understand this, Angelina?
When you have lost Angelina Jolie, it’s pretty bad.
The bloods on Angelina’s hands as much as any other Dem/never-trumper - she slammed Trump in front of the UN and hated Orange Man enough to elect an alzheimers patient as president
so sit down
Good. Maybe she is listening to her father now. But quite frankly I can’t imagine anyone with any sanity thinking this is OK in any way. Or that it was “unavoidable”.
They meant Unbroken.
I agree with her but I don’t care what she thinks really.
100% of their attention is focused on getting their $3 trillion green new deal passed before they lose their House and/or Senate majority. They don't give a crap about Afghanistan or foreign affairs. They figured not being Trump was all they had to do in that department.
The window is closing on destroying the economy and ushering in a socialist America, so that's their first priority. Whoever it is who is running this Administration.
Sounds like voter’s remorse for supporting President Retard.
“perpetually antagonistic bozos on our FreeRepublic lately.”
They are acting like teenage girls.
[How did she vote in the last several elections again?]
That is also my question.
Elections have consequences, and if you are part of the cabal that anointed this fool into office and shut off all dissenting opinions and voices, all I can say is suck it up buttercup, your fingerprints are on this.
That's exactly what some of them are acting like. It's like being in middle school/junior high sometimes. Between them and the doom-and-gloomers it's becoming insufferable in here.
On the other hand, this is also what a country with no leadership looks like. Nobody in charge, and our enemies, domestic and abroad, know it.
