I prefer CNN. I like when their reporters sugarcoat things so I don't have to face reality. I especially liked when that female reporter told me the Taliban fighters shouting "Death to America!" while waving guns seemed friendly. It helps me keep voting democrat.

I just can't physically endure cnn, only little snippets. theres a possible spin on RT as well mind you
 
7 months into this moron's "presidency" and this is where the country's already at (and the cackling bitch isn't even president yet), he has blood on hands and must resign now or be impeached & convicted.

I wonder when the Biden admin was planning their stupid parades on 9/11, did anyone in the white house or pentagon bother to come up with a contingency plan on how to get those weapons back to the states, or at least to a close ally in the area.

It's like they didn't know.

I mean I understand the withdrawal would be messy, but 200 airplanes, 75k vehicles, and they left a biometric database? Priority number 1 should have been to destroy that shit.

I don't like Vice either but it isn't exactly hard to believe that men from poor communities get recruited by the military and told that they are going to fight for the freedom of Americans and save the indiginous civilian population of whatever country they are invading... then they encounter those civilians who know literally nothing about America or its geopolitical goals other than they blow shit up to achieve them... alongside witnessing nothing but senseless violence and the inhumane treatment of prisoners and enemy combatants... then return home on the "wrong" side of the political division.

 
Today feels like a culmination of many things being laid bare for this country and likely we'll neither learn or change anything

We won't have a choice. Biden has 2;

1) Turn his back and admit we aren't a world power under him.

2) Go to war and keep that rep up.

He sucks either way. Already the worst president in our history. Idiot.

Way to go wokes. No more time pretend that didn't matter as you slink onto the CNN sidelines.

The thing that is bugging me is.. how did the military brass not get their way? Like, surely they made a bunch of sensible recommendations and laid the risks out for the administration to see? The military can't possibly be this incompetent so the blame has to lie with the commander and chief right? Who's advising the guy and what are their credentials?

Defund everything. Got to keep up those "we know better" vibes.

Are we done with this now? How many more soldiers have to die? Just curious.

It's entirely possible there are large segments of the military which are incompetent at this point.

Given how the US is never afraid to duke it out, I'd lay my money down on war. I don't see the US bailing ship asap with their tails between their legs.

They'll have to.
There's no point it re-opening this scenario for the USA.
They'll bail, but the important stuff is what happens afterwards (China/Russia/Africa).

No, it's a stupid article with spectacularly bad timing.

Seriously, how is there not even a "Jill and I mourn for the loss of our soldiers and will do everything in our power to safeguard our remaining troops and bring all Americans home" statement from Biden by now?

How hard is that?

I mean, even though it's all rumor, considering what's happened...

The last time he delayed his speech was to gather pre-selected questions from the press. How much do you want to bet he'll do the same thing?

Man this thread is some heavy shit, I wasn't aware of the gravity of the situation, because I was not really paying attention.

sigh :messenger_pensive:

I hope that the defense contractors are happy with their stacks of money, because that's only thing this war/occupation has achieved.

Not a fan of the passive aggressive approach. Stop it. Both stands have points. Pick one and debate in a healthy manner.

What did I say wrong?

I mean the Russia or better USSR is responsible, because that was the first aggressor in the region from the outside, they fucked it up and from that point on it was in this falling state.
