Really? You'd be shocked to hear what happened with ISIS in Iraq then.

And the US with the expectation of the Afghan army being defeated after holding out for a couple of months. Pretty sure the though mad its way through the Afghans in power. So do you put up a good fight knowing you will lose with the loses involved? Or do you concede and go home? Iraq was ridiculous, Afghanistan was more pragmatic.

Not so sure. They've locked horns before. But if they say clear of stepping on Taliban toes.....well.
ISIS or DASH wants shariah law all through the middle east and then some. I think the Taliban just wants Afghanistan.
ISIS 2.0 just want headlines.
I stated earlier that I don't believe in civil war in Afghanistan. Still don't, but these bugs might need extermination or,

Israel is our Pit Bull. WE say "O.K. go!" They'll go and G*D help anybody in their way.
Well I personally pray that he does not give into the hawks and prolong this nonsense any longer. going after these terrorists is not worth the money. Take that money and give it to the families. Get them later, let them relax. But yeah, to me shining would be by not giving into the hawks.

They only take direction from the US if it is in alignment with what they want. They will act in their own interest, the US be damned.
See this is what I am missing. Why the fck are there so many Americans and foreigners there when they knew the deadline anyway? They knew this shit for how long? Seems like forever ago but with COVID my sense of time is shit. Obviously most of these people are natives with green cards etc, read about one family who went to visit their in-laws. Who the hell told them to wait till the last minute?

And the other half of the country will say he is too soft, letting a little girl strapped with explosives to humiliate the US. No, a bomb or two will be dropping in on ISIS and I will applaud that. Far better a plane overhead rather than boots on the ground. If there is no retaliation it will show other terorists the US is soft under Biden. That will cost more in the long run.
Yeah but there is no rush. Do the intelligence and just kill them all later, probably at a big wedding.

Lot of NGO's providing assistance. Heck, there is a former US soldier there looking after the strays.

No, no rush to jump in. Trust Biden there, he is no young pup.

You really have no grasp of the nuances of the US/Israeli relationship.

We got almost all our equipment. The troops took it with them when they pulled out months and years ago. What was lost belongs to the Afghan government.

No, they have Europe by the balls with their gas pipelines. Why do you think no one in Europe really did anything when they invaded Crimea? It gets mighty chilly in Northern Europe in winter.

How was it ever pragmatic?
To invade a historically fucked up nation in the search for 1 fucking man, bin Laden?
Or was it for women's rights?
The Talban had NOTHING!!! to do with 9/11, they just harbored bin Ladin.
No, wait one moment, that was THE FUCKING PAKISTANIS!!!, that did that, wasn't it?
That war was bull shit,
Pure fucking bull shit
13 Marines woke up this morning & now they're dead.
For what?
Enlighten me
This beats Vietnam as far as stupidty
At least in Vietnam we didn't leave anyone behind.
1500 Americans are in Kabul, right now, surrounded
How the fuck could this possibly happen, it's mind-boggling.
And it ain't over yet, it's just starting
Fucking idiots
