    Isn't Parliament run by the right wing right now? Brexit types.

    This news doesn't mean much in context.0

    Have you ever thought that the Afghani people just want peace and live without fear?! There's hundreds of thousands of Afghanis who have been living in Pakistan have been fleeing to Afghanistan in the past week. Al Jazeera reported up to 40k afghanis are finally entering Afghanistan from Pakistan border

    Absolutely Thanks Mathloom for once again attempting to educate the vast majority of Democrats, Republicans and Independents in the US who do not recognize your truth.

    So proud of Biden for doing the right thing, even if it is hard.

    Damn. CNN coverage is really brutal. I am not sure what they are saying anymore.

    By all means, it seems to me like they are saying we should not have come out of Afghanistan but that is not what I heard from all the media, right and left including CNN, before any of this is done. It is all about how we are overstaying there and we should come out ASAP.

    I am unable to keep up with the news on who is saying what anymore

    Have no problem with leaving Afghanistan. It’s the manner in which Biden did so, trump wouldn’t have done it this way at all

    There is 4 million people in Kabul. I am assuming, if at least 1/10th of them try to take a desperate chance to get out, that is about half a million people trying to rush to airport. This chaos is bound to happen once the afghan government gave up and Taliban entered Kabul.

    I am not sure Trump(or anyone for that matter) will have plan for that.

    But CNN is taking it to Biden very hard.. I just watched TV after a long time and frankly a bit surprised.

    It's a no-win situation over there. I really feel bad for the Afghan people... and especially the ones that work with US allies and can't get out. It's encouraging to read that there is a resistance movement going on against the Taliban. What I wonder is it's not like people are wearing uniforms to differentiate between resistance and Taliban, how do they know who's who?

    Did chills go down your spine when you read these articles

    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...ontractor-killed-in-afghanistan-idUSKCN1RK28E

    It's always funny watching war mongers sit behind a monitor talking about how others should be leading the charge. The protection and safety of our troops is more important then defense contractors getting rich.

    Even with non stop propaganda



    Biden has bigger balls then all you trumpers combined .

    You're telling me that teaching Afghan police officers from TV shows isn't a smart idea ? Who would've known that incompetent afghanis who were pedophiles had no interest fighting for their land

    This exit wouldn't have gone smooth regardless of who was president. You're fooling yourself if you think otherwise. Trump trying to capitalize on the exit chaos by claiming he would have done it much better is highly laughable.

    Once again, TRUMP signed this executive Order of withdrawl, and BIDEN agreed with it and is executing it.

    Great job by both men to get us out of that armpit of a country that won't fight for itself.

    Wow the inaccuracies in this post. That’s the problem with the dumbasses that got us in the war. It was. “We’re liberating them” “they won’t fight for themselves”

    1. Getting out is the right move.

    2. The Biden administration has executed the withdrawl very poorly and they were warned by the state department in July to start evacuating no later than August 1st because Kabul was going to fall sooner than they thought.

    Also, Trump's plan was never a total withdrawl of military forces. Special Ops were going to maintain a base in Afghanistan for counterterrorism ops.
