mehhh leaving the Taliban a bunch of apache helicopters tanks humvees and god knows what else IS a disaster.

You are right that the taliban is being reasonable about it - i mean they want America OUT asap - they dont want problems - just want them gone

like for example - if all the people that believe America was stolen from Indians decided to back up their talk, be morally righteous people & LEAVE - i wouldnt wanna cause problems for them - i'd help them pack, take them to the airport, and make sure they catch their flight

The biggest danger I think is the night vision gear. The other hardware is a concern but any covert attack on the ground by regular soldiers in the night will not be possible. Sticking out like a beacon in the night.

I did, why the fuck didn't they?
The Afgan military is/has been fucking useless, thats the major reason we had troops there for 20 fucking years.
What did the US military strategists think, that once the US withdrew their forces the Taliban would stop at the gates of Kabul, an objective that they have had for 20+ years, and just play cricket & sip tea & wait for their rooms to be ready?
I guess the Talban had too take a shit & couldn't wait :)

After 20 years and all that money we said, "We think they can hold them off a month." If it was my life on the line I wouldn't wait till that month.

Actually it was decided at a higher level. The call came down to put their weapons on the ground and walk away.

I was reading a study that indicated that people who overly resort to posting political memes and cartoons do it because they don't have a strong ability to think for or express themselves.

Maybe the suicide bombings killing over 100 yesterday including 13 us service members during the evacuation would prompt me to blow your whole fu**king country up. Responding politely

And why would you level a country when the people that bombed the airport are some small terrorist group? The people trying to get out of Afghanistan do not deserve to die. the ones that decide to stick it out under the Taliban do not deserve to die. Even though I would be ok with bombing the Taliban, the bombs at the airport and hotel was not instigated by them but ISIS. You seem to have little regard for millions of innocent people, it does not shine a kind light on you.

Hannimal take a break, we appreciate it, but please for the love of god stop protecting us against trolls/russians/new users. Nobody but you gives a fuck. Unless you have another handle that you post in the growers forum of this pot site, I don't think I've ever seen you post anything other than in the politics forum, and usually being an ass about it too. this site would be better off if you left. Maybe you are a Russian troll.

I rarely post in the other sections. Too much time just keeping up here. I don't have much to offer the other sections. I have almost got my growing in order, will know in another year. I do post about my growing more in another site, I have more relevance there rather than here. The big reason I post in the political section is to counter disinformation. I am pretty good at googling. Once Trump is put away in jail and his cronies exposed I would guess some of us may widen our horizons.

exactly the same...

Nope. the Republicans want to tilt the table so that the poor are on their own and the rich get tax breaks. The democrats want to save society, a bit of a pipe dream but ok. It is just a question of what kind of future you want. A Trump led Republican party may end up as a watered down Nazi experiment, the Democrats with a wind turbine for every garage. Nope, they are different.

Much worse things to be obsessed about, you know, the future and all that.

I'm home today as my son is graduating and I have to attend, but I am a little surprised that so many of your apparently don't seem to have a job.

Been there done that, retired. Congratulations on the son.


Shit that was a long batch to go through. Sure I missed stuff, not that it matters. But I feel it is polite to reply to people.

We have four days left. Any guesses if the time will be extended?

That goes out to all of you. The petty backbiting is annoying. I find it tiring. Maybe start a thread on sock puppets and the like? See how fast you can get 1,000 pages?

I truly dont know. I was blindsided by the speed of the collapse. Biden has declared he wont stand for attacks on our remaining presence there. Imo the situation is fluid and rapidly evolving. i'm behind the curve here.

The ISIS bombings threw a wrench into things. I would have thought if the need was there that it would be extended, now I am not sure.
