Talibans enter Kabul as US choppers evacuate embassy

If only we stayed in Vietnam until they had an American type of government.

Sad day.

20 years trying to build up the Afghan National Army and it falls within weeks of the US withdrawal. It was an absolute waste of our time.

The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in its current form does not deserve to survive.

Let the Taliban have the country. If they decide to declare jihad on us and attack US soil we blow them back into the Stone Age.

Agree with letting the Taliban have it. Why waste our time supporting or fighting primitive and uncivilized tribes that all embrace a stupid philosophy that promotes killing anyone that disagrees with you or enslaving a whole natural gender. Let them eat their own young. Let's see if good ol' totalitarian china's leaders have the balls to eliminate Afgagistans' centuries of feudalism like they did their own.

Funny to read delusional us. Comments. As If every afghani loved the usa and you build up the country. Reality is. The second the occupier left the vasal government collapsed as well

Apparently not enough loved the US/western way of life. Or the ones that did were too weak to fight.

If we stayed just a couple more decades the taliban take over may have taken 10 days instead of 7 days.

Yes, the US have never ever completed or won a battle on foreign soil. Never.

The only reason they keep doing it is (for especially friends of President) to capitalise on the war through supply of infrastructure and logistics, and the chance to manufacture and try out weapons

You have blood on your hands from the foot of Africa to the North east of Asia

Not happening 200 THOUSAND Plus (That we know of) are crossing the Border Every Month and Most of them have been shown to Vote Left, they are Illegal and can't vote yet, but Biden will try to make them citizens and they vote overwhelmingly Left, Biden will get Reelected, I would prefer Tucker Carlson or Trump, but Biden will have overwhelming numbers on his side, Biden will make the USA a 1 party Country.

Nice alternative facts you've tried to present there. Truth is Trump signed the deal and pulled out and publicized the timeline, because it was part of the agreement his admin made with the Taliban. Think about that, and agreement with the Taliban. All but about 2000 troops were pulled out under trump. So, when Biden assumed office he was faced with the decision of sticking with the pull out or sending more US Troops. Biden was left with a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. The "deterioration" happened because Trump had made "peace" with the Taliban and pulled out most of the 13,000 US before Joe was even in office.

I'm not a fan of Biden at all but Trump or Tucker Carlson? Good gracious.

"Here's something to chew on: did the Taliban have lockdowns and make everyone wear masks? Have they gone around sticking everyone with vaccines?"

I assume you're joking:

"The group (Taliban) has been accused of brutally enforcing Sharia, with public executions for those convicted of murder or adultery and amputation for those found guilty of theft. Men had to grow their beards and women had to wear the burka, which covers their whole body "

You're exactly the kind of strutting ignoramus I was talking about.

Perhaps you don't know the difference between centuries old traditional garb, and a medical scam? The Afghans do though.

This was not Trump’s fault or Biden’s fault. It was the fault of the Afghan government that after 20 years they remained so corrupt and inept that a large percentage of the population actually preferred the Taliban or was at least apathetic.

This is all Cole Hockers fault. If not him, probably Harvey Weinstein.

Yeah, I pretty much agree with this.

Who think for an instant that if the Taliban has stayed 20 years in the US, the US population would not have fought back instantly to go back to what they were as soon as they left...

Meanwhile not a peep from senile Dementia Joe who allowed this to happen. Just the tip of the iceberg too, as the Democrats wreak havoc here and abroad with their mad dash to destroy capitalism and democracy.

The united states made a very risky deal, beginning with ending the gold standard (not saying this was right or wrong, just explaining the timeline).

1. United States ends gold standard, establishes Dollar as having intrinsic value in itself (instead of a note backed by worldwide valuable assets)

2. Gold and silver remain valuable, but are no longer global currency

3. Dollar is adopted as global currency in exchange for being the worlds bi tch essentially

4. United States has the benefit of being able to print money, and other countries welcome it as long as they take care of the dirty work too

5. United States is beginning to lose ability to "take care of things at home" and shortly after will no longer be able to take care of the worlds problems either (as we're seeing here)

6. Soon the dollar will no longer be the standard (I will not speculate here what the standard will be)

7. These countries who once relied on US in exchange for supporting us will begin to pull away

8. A few more straws and the camels back will break. US economy will fall, world economy will fall, and will recollect and recover when something better fills the void
