Afghanistan

Solid golden kennels. With solid golden retrievers.

Working for a donkey sanctuary, hardly the same as serving with the British army as a translator or other support.

[flatandy]

I think we all agree on that. The people who've actually worked for the inept occupation (and their families) should have been given visas and free passage out of the country months ago. People who work for an animal sanctuary should be way, way, way down the list of people we care about.

cyberattack on state dept. a week ago. no telling what they got. visa numbers, etc. pentagon says they don't have the resources to get americans out. isis may be showing up in kabul. bugout joes dream team says not to worry, they're on the job.

Biden: Americans can get to the Kabul airport. US embassy: No, you can't.

Reporter: British troops say the scene at Kabul airport now is the worst thing they've seen in their careers

"David Fox told ABC about the State Department emailing blank printable visas to Americans and Afghan “friendlies” for use at the airport. Whoever came up with that idea must have had “brain worms,” said Fox, since obviously an endless number of copies would be printed by Afghan recipients and distributed to anyone who wants out, whether or not they ever worked with U.S. troops. I wonder how many members of the crowd have those bogus blank visas."

and we all know there will be zero vetting of afghanis who make it to the usa.

[rick49]

i'm wondering more and more if this disaster was incompetence or deliberate.

[rick49]

this is the result when you vote against someone instead of for someone. people didn't vote for bugout joe, they voted against trump.

[rick49]

reason for her disappearence?

kamala harris-"they will not pin this on me."

and she's supposedly a womens rights champion but hasn't uttered a word about what the taliban are doing to women.

Well the surrender deal Trump negotiated was incompetence, sticking to it while needed could have gone better, but there was never any guarantee it ever would or could have been much difference, and the slowing of all vetting and visas for friendly Afghans was very deliberate policy implemented by Stephen Miller.

taliban mock usa by wearing our uniforms and mimicking us flag raising on iwo jima.

[rick49]

and bugout biden still has a cheerleader.

No one cares what you think

Not surprising. He’s an alt-righter. Aside from religion there is a lot of overlap with them and Islamo-fascists.

Is gay marriage currently legal in Afghanistan? It must if the Taliban are "going to ban" it.

[perrykneeham]

"Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair has described the US withdrawal from Afghanistan as "tragic, dangerous, and unnecessary" in his first statement since the fall of Kabul to the Taliban.

He said the decision was made "in obedience to an imbecilic slogan about ending 'the forever wars'".

Mr Blair led the UK when it invaded the country alongside the US in 2001, following the 11 September attacks."

It is odd that the BBC are still hanging on his every word and that he has such direct access to them as an outlet.

[ootlg]

The neck - Blair daring to criticise. The same man who encouraged Bush to bomb Afghan civilians, left Downing Street to buy three nearby houses for his kids, then became a devout Roman Catholic.

[perrykneeham]

He's still The Daddy at the BBC.

[ootlg]

Odd, because he's not gay, trans, Jewish, black, Muslim or disabled.

[sweet soul]

Like tony blair or not what he has said is true. Scary and true.

[ootlg]

Everyone's said what he's just said. Before. He's chewed over the reaction and gone in with a crowd pleaser. Turd.

He's setting up his stall, guessing Starmer's on his way out.
