At a MINUMUM.
The Scale of Humiliation
To reprise a line from a decade-old column of mine: Afghanistan is about Afghanistan – if you're Afghan or Pakistani. But, if you're Russian or Chinese or Iranian or European, Afghanistan is about America. That's the point to remember: if you're an

The lesson here is that afghanistan is not capable of a drawdown. The only thing keeping the country together was US military. There is/was no way to drawdown without the occurrence of what we are seeing now.
People blaming biden are in effect saying that the USA should never leave. That's a perfectly valid view, but that is what they are saying.

Lots to take here, but he's wrong about not winning a war in three quarters of a century. Dessert storm was a win. US batting average is pretty damn bad since WWII, though. Makes a good point about our military spending but we can't even secure our own fucking border. What a disgrace.The Scale of Humiliation

"I don't know whether he's a three-star, four-star, 137-star general, but a guy who professes to be shocked by how quickly the Afghan National Army is surrendering to the Taliban has no business being a general at all..."
You can bet your ass this little dufus will get out unscathed & unstressed with a new ribbon or 2

Absolutely unreal. The level of fear and panic to try and hold onto the exterior of a jet that will travel at 400+ mph at 30,000 feet.
Look at this movie turned non fiction

I think that a Trans-Talibin Airways jet dropping the Pride flag bearer off at the US embassy.

The Taliban must be thinking: "Those Americans...so wasteful. We just drop homosexuals off buildings and save a lot of jet fuel."

the Taliban transfer of power is more legit than bidones
WATCH LIVE: Biden addresses nation over US withdrawal from Afghanistan
Biden says US mission in Afghanistan ‘never supposed to be nation-building’ as he addresses hasty pullout from Kabul (WATCH LIVE)
Biden actually said something I agree with, “we left at a good time because we are fighting a war Afghan troops aren’t willing to fight it themselves.” “We could not provide them the will to fight for their futures”
something bad he is saying is he’s going to expand the refugees we are taking.

75% of the address was self excusing, whining, looking for self pity, and blaming everyone else
Glossed over or ignored was his failed withdrawal plan, schedule, execution, inept intelligence, inappropriate focus and misplaced priorities over the last several months
Some talking points were delivered but there was not any sense of a leader behind the rambling Teleprompter mouthpiece

After seeing the Afgan Nationals tuck their tails and run, knowing that their sisters and daughters will be abused and defamed, knowing that the Taliban will start beheading and killing without remorse, I got to thinking, If they, knowing what lies ahead, turned into simpering bitches, refusing to even try, what will Americans do? American's testicles have been removed too. Just watched Biden's speech. America is going to continue to "speak out" against women's discrimination in that country. There you have it.
