You are right, I do see the media slamming Biden for his failure in Afghanistan. But not one peep about his failure on our southern border or this 3.5 trillion dollar Green “Anchor “deal he wants to hang around the neck of this and future generations . And I’m sure when we have all our Americans back home and the thousands of Afghanistan’s in the U.S. The main stream media will go back to propagating for the liberal agenda. I hope I’m wrong. I think we'd all a better chance flapping our arms and flying to the moon, than mainstream media taking an unbiased opinion.

Did anybody see joe Biden on clean-up detail today. He was on a video conference call today w/ Governors of La. and Miss. making sure they had all the help for hurricane affected areas. True he should be on the phones giving them all the support and aid they need, but to do it in a way where he is broadcast on tv . In the past the news just reported that the president. has call and promised his support and yada,yada yada, I think it’s the media’s his way of try to bury the Afghanistan fiasco. Everyone should remember the he went about withdrawing from a 20 year war. It’s like he used no common sense in his plan. This is not we were told about joe Biden . What’s going on in Afghanistan does not seem like the plan of a man w/ 40 years of foreign affairs experience.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told a journalist it was "irresponsible" to say Americans are “stranded” in Afghanistan last week. Today military flights out of Kabul stopped. Today there are Americans who were STOPPED from getting to the airport. What is the "responsible" way to describe the Americans stuck in Afghanistan now??? Is their exit delayed? Is their exit postponed? Or is it irresponsible to even talk about the Americans who WEREN'T able to get to the airport? They are claiming the military mission has been completed. I'm guessing the Americans stuck in Afghanistan may say the military mission has ENDED, I'm pretty sure they DON'T agree the military mission was COMPLETED. Biden and his State Department, who I believe crafted the evacuation, should be ashamed of themselves. We keep hearing the Biden Administration say they ended a 20 year war but the ONLY way a war ends is if ALL the parties involved in a war agree to the ending of the war. ISIS didn't agree to stop their terrorist activities, in fact they were just emboldened by the Taliban who released them from prisons in Afghanistan. Al-Qaeda was emboldened for the same reason. Biden was the person who orchestrated the troop withdrawal from Iraq that led to the rise of ISIS which REQUIRED a surge of troops back to Iraq. Time will tell if Biden's pathetic foreign policy history will repeat itself.

I believe they can govern themselves. My pray is for the safety and peace of innocent civilians.

Who is now going to be leading sponsor of terrorism? Is it going to be Iran or Afghanistan?

I would say Afghanistan. No that we are US is out the Taliban will let terrorism fester in certain parts of Afghanistan while Pakistan finances their activity. Russia doesn’t want to go back in to Afghanistan and China is to busy with Taiwan . That leaves it wide open, just like twenty yrs. ago. Al-quaida is aleady in there.

As the last United States forces left Kabul, the United Nations Security Council, adopted a resolution that gave de facto recognition to the Taliban as a state actor in Afghanistan. The resolution "unequivocally" conveys that Afghan territory should not be used to threaten or attack any nation, shelter or train terrorists, etc., etc.

Oh, ok. Well that makes all the difference in the world. We know how reputable and honest the taliban are. Give me a break , the United Nations are as weak and useless as joe Biden. The news of the American surrender and the stranded Americans that are basically hostages now will be swept under the rug by the MSM and forgotten about in a few weeks and that is just fine with the liberal Democrats. Biden calls it a resounding success . That statement alone represents his declining mental capacity. Impeach joe Biden.

Contradicting y what has been said by the American establishment, former Indian Ambassador who returned recently from Kabul, Gautam Mukherjee, said in a press meet that ‘US didn’t invest in institutions of Afghan democracy, in trade, or even in its army’

Indian Intel: US Air Force has left behind some planes and China is likely to receive them from Taliban. In my opinion, China has already a deal with Pakistan on F-15s

It's official: US has left behind 176 Artillery guns 22,000 humvees 64,000 machine guns 169 armored vehicles 159 mine proof vehicles 42.000 pick ups 358,000 assault rifles 126,000 pistols 8000 trucks 160,000 radios 16,000 night vision goggles and more .... --- As I recall, if a soldier drops his gun, he's punished

Gen. Frank McKenzie, head of U.S. Central Command, and Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, each acknowledged during public congressional testimony that they agreed with the recommendation of Army Gen. Austin Miller that 2,500 troops be left in the Afghanistan. During an ABC interview Stephanopoulos asked Biden: “Your military advisers did not tell you, ‘No, we should just keep 2,500 troops. It's been a stable situation for the last several years. We can do that. We can continue to do that’?” Bidens reply: “No one said that to me that I can recall,” Marine Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Scheller has been jailed for speaking out publicly about the botched Afghanistan exit. Scheller knew his conduct could land him in trouble with the Marine Corps. He said he spoke out because he believes the corruption inside our military is so grave, that our general officers are failing to do their duty, uphold their Oaths of Office, and be accountable to the very people they are sworn to protect. But the generals are following the lead of Biden, their commander and chief liar..............there is no room for military "leaders" to do anything but defend Biden with lies if necessary instead of defending Americans. If Trump was still president he would be getting impeached and/or facing removal from offices for saying he "can't recall" the advice military advisors testified they gave him while they were under oath.
