    facts are the facts, even if you don't like them.... it was Trump's Taliban deal, Trump should have had a plan to get our people out

    and he should have passed that plan over to Biden during the peaceful transfer of power

    It's hilarious. In their world, everything is about the bad Orange Man who is to blame! It's become comedy. I can't tell if they are just trolling or truly this far gone.

    Might be a Bot seriously, never seen the name Trump mentioned so much by a few....I wish we had a counter for every time they post his name, it would outpace the national debt I bet.

    Maybe the dummies in other dangerous countries around the world will now pay attention to what is happening around them and won't wait until the last minute before getting out of Dodge.

    It sure would be nice if Dennis and his gang of nitwits and their family members were part of the forces standing guard in those hot spots. That would be so wonderful but it seems that they are all talk and no guts. They want their neighbors to do the bleeding for them while they spew their non-sense over the airwaves.

    The Washington dummies are always making the same mistake in thinking that foreigners are like Americans. They are different and have different values and cultures and rules of war. It seems silly to Americans that the Afghans would cave when its over 38,000,000 of them to just a few thousand Taliban thugs. Americans would have damned the torpedoes and manned the Alamo but that is not the way they do it elsewhere. There were probably more people trying to get out at the airport than there were Taliban in Kabul, so if they had any guts they could have easily killed all of the Taliban.

    It is America's failure to learn its enemies' cultures and values that resulted in defeat in Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, and Afghanistan. And, if it got into a shooting war with either Russia or China, chances are it would lose big time. Those countries are not like America and they think differently. The US probably pulled out of Afghanistan to get ready to fight North Korea,

    Yeah, they waited until we left. Idiots! They had months to get out and now we have to mount a huge rescue mission.

    They lived there and THEY didn't know better?

    Biden only knows what he is told by US Intel. But they were there.

    Yeah, the incompetent architect of Saigon on Steroids is "getting them all out and fast, very fast!":

    U.S Embassy in Kabul warns Americans to "avoid traveling to the airport and to avoid airport gates at this time"

    He's out to lunch, and his goto fixer-upper Kamala is in Vietnam learning how to evacuate people firsthand.

    Indeed they're idiots for having faith in the American administration warning them and protecting them. How silly of them to expect to be notified on time or (what naivete!) to be there for them to help to get out of Dodge!

    We have gotten out 17,000 people so far. It looks like we will get everyone out - Americans and the Afghans who supported us. The Taliban knows that if they make trouble, we're coming back in.

    Why, keeping the relations with locals?

    Seriously, bidnes is bidnes and many of Americans were visiting with relatives. Than, there are missionaries, social workers, teachers, civil contractors...

    FYI, no defense contractor was allowed to leave the base, remember the soldier that left and was court martialed.
