Read a quote from somebody the other day that said, "It's a blessing that our equipment breaks down so much," so they don't seem too worried about most of it as it will be trash soon enough. The shit they are really worried about apparently are the night vision googles that a monkey can use, they say that will be a game changer for the Taliban when fighting the "freedom fighters."
Sure helped us on the boat at night running the ditch ;).

I saw that, but don't see how a former Pence adviser, Trump, and a nazi are relevant to what I posted.

I get it, any sensible person is worried this will look so bad on Biden it will empower republicans, worst case scenario affect future elections. That's the reason for the blame game, politics. This is the politics forum so don't mind me. I don't care what Trump's influence on the situation was, I don't care about the perception in the political arena in the US, and I don't really care enough about the future of Afghanistan either. That bothers me though, the fact we no longer care. The indifference, and the irrational excuses to justify it. Would be nice if people, and Biden, could simply be straight-forward about that. Maybe we can then follow some 10 step program to become compassionate human beings again willing to make sacrifices to provide everyone on earth with basic human rights.
Great post.

Unfortunately many people don’t give a shit about things that they think won’t directly affect them. Some of these people are here. Some even say stupid shit like the Afghan people will be better off with the Taliban in control.

How can you reason with people like that?

But they have Afghan friends who said this??? I wonder how many women told him that they welcome the Taliban and all of the goodness they will bring??? What a pile of shit :(. I do think it is up to the people of that country to sort this if that’s possible. It’s become increasingly obvious that others can’t and shouldn’t :(.

It was always strange how Trump spoke of peace talks. It was always a surrender. It's a huge defeat of American force.
History told America it would lose invading Afghanistan and History was right.
Not enough talk about the 5K Taliban prisoners who we forced the Afghan government to free as part of Trumpf's peace treaty with the Taliban. You can see some of them in the vanguard as they took each town.

You are so programmed you even regurgitate the stupid as shit put downs that Trump and the Republicans (or their foreign dictator buddies) spam into you.
What are you talking about? Programed? LOL Where did I even mention trump? I posted a vid contradicting a comment, that's it. I didn't spew opinion like you and the peanut gallery does all day long. The only one regurgitating here is you, day in and day out thread after thread after thread. LOL Now, that's sad.
Now CNN is spam?

Popular vote means shit so stop bringing it up and stop crying about it. Democrats always cry about the popular vote....well people, not that's the way the country works. Would you like a tissue to go with reality?
Who’s crying? I’m just pointing out that you’re full of shit. More Americans voted for Hilary Clinton than trump. That’s reality.

Would you like a pitch fork to go with your bullshit?

What's your point? Are you saying that Americans didn't want Trump when we know just slightly less than 49% did or whatever the number was obviously did....or you just crying more. You're the guy who didn't understand how people can be from 2 countries right? Sounds like you could qualify to be a Trump supporter.

Is that what you said? You said majority of Americans didn't want him? Because I think you're backpedaling or perhaps you just suck at communicating your thoughts because I'm pretty sure you said Americans didn't want him, and we know that to be 100% incorrect. Maybe the rest of "we" can better state the "we" opinion so you should probably let "we" speak for "we".
