Those sand people are not going to bend over for China. As soon as those religious extremists get the inkling that a foreign power is taking their stuff it'll be game on. They do not take kindly to foreigners there and the Chinese aren't exactly endearing people Tehran wants to conquer and perpetuate Islam. They don't want to help another nation perpetuate their own ways and ideas

War is good for the economy

These guys are like the Taliban of corona "Follow our orders or stay home and DIE!"

Afghanistan, and the middle east, has a ton of natural resources and strategic value. It's why nobody care about the human rights atrocities in Africa, they have little natural resources, the middle east is quite rich though. It's all about the money, let china go mire there for a few decades trying to figure those people out now.

They definitely made a stupid mess in Afghanistan to distract us from the stupid mess they made of corona

Russia does a pretty damn fine job destabilizing itself 😂 Those guys are idiots

He's just a guy. Like you And me. He's not caption America and this isn't a marvel movie. He didn't kill innocent Afghani women and children. And if you guys think I'm defending or supporting Joe Biden, I'm not. I despise all politicians equally

Yes, let's have the president of the united states of America coordinating the flights out of Kandahar

The Pfiser cartel needs you to sign up for the unlimited vaccine of the month club for the low low price of $29.95 a month

Like a band aid. Rip it off. Like I said, Biden is the sacrificial lamb.

It's like a band aid, you have to rip it off. You don't cautiously and slowly pull off a band aid. It had to happen. They could have coordinated it slightly better I suppose but is the micro managing the president's responsibility? That probably should be, and was, left to the generals.

The DNC and sleepy Joe knew full well he was being thrown out to the wolves. He was told to do his duty for his country and he is fulfilling his obligation after a cushy lifetime of civil l service.

Mr potato head No one is gonna beat him because he's not going to run again

Who is going to beat him? The political climate in America is volatile, most of it beyond the president's control. The world is a mess between climate change, virus, foreign relations, economy, debt, it's not who is going to beat him, it's who is willing to stand in front of the fan while the world dumps sh*t into it. Irv, I used to like you but you thumbs downed me so screw you, you're off the rails with this post.

Biden was always going to be a sacrificial lamb and he knew it going in. The world is getting astronomically more complicated by the moment and our country has alot of loose ends hanging out there. He knew he was getting hired to... Fall on his sword. He's just too old and sleepy to worry about it.

I bet they take them to the US, we take in refugees. Especially in catastrophic humanitarian stuff like this. And, while I was half joking, I was also half serious because I bet they will be offered jobs...

Probably to work at Amazon

She's pretty hot for an older lady

"Hey Joe! You gotta try the goat kabobs! They're delicious!"

https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/taliban-afghanistan How was the Taliban formed? The group was formed in the early 1990s by Afghan mujahideen, or Islamic guerilla fighters, who had resisted the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan (1979–89) with the covert backing of the CIA and its Pakistani counterpart, the Inter-Services Intelligence directorate (ISI). They were joined by younger Pashtun tribesmen who studied in Pakistani madrassas, or seminaries; taliban is Pashto for “students.” Pashtuns comprise a plurality in Afghanistan and are the predominant ethnic group in much of the country’s south and east. They are also a major ethnic group in Pakistan’s north and west.

Acknowledged although I feel it's arguing semantics as they were the father's of the Taliban.

China will lose in Afghanistan

Yes, China will try to take their resources but these are people that drag the bodies of their enemy through the streets behind pick up trucks then leave the remains to be eaten by dogs. They can't be rationalized or reasoned with. The Taliban were our allies in the 80's

I say good for China. Let them try their hand in that region and see how it goes for them. Russia failed in that region. We failed in that region. Even Rambo barely made it out of there alive. Give China a crack at that hellhole. Those people will turn on China like they have turned on everyone who isn't an Islamic extremist. Let china pump billion in infrastructure just to see it blown up 10 years later.
