You can be sure this guy is watching all of this play out with glee and just moved up his date for the inevitable day when China makes a move for Taiwan:

Kind of ironic ole' Donald did not live to get to see what he helped create. Sure the senile ole shotgunner has got that stupid crooked smirk on his face as he watches it unfold while clinging on the his piggy bank. The other senile shotgunner in case you were confused.

^^^You should be MUCH More specific...I can only assume (hope?) you're referring to Rumsfeld here!

ORC used present tense. Rumsfeld is dead. Guess again.

Or, perhaps a typo??

China and Taiwan:

Global Times (China state-affiliated media):

"From what happened in Afghanistan, those in Taiwan should perceive that once a war breaks out in the Straits, the island’s defense will collapse in hours and US military won’t come to help. As a result, the DPP will quickly surrender."

China recognizes Taliban gov't = "respects the choice of the Afghan people"

Afghanistan sits on $1 Trillion in minerals

Taliban need the cash & China needs the minerals

What in the Hell are you talking about?

^^^Dick Cheney??

As I heard mentioned by some ex-military guy on TV, what's happening now in A-stan is bad, but what this sets the table for in the near future is far more concerning. And rest assured, the urine soaked relic in our White House won't be the only US president to have to clean up this mess throughout that entire region and beyond. This is a clust**** of immeasurable proportions.

Indeed.

And as some have already posted about our allies being caught off guard...read about Germans scrmabling to get their troops to Afgh. to protect their citizens...

That certainly comes under "poor planning". But what I really mean is the dynamic of collapse leading to chaos at the last airport. Sure you could, and should, have evacuated the embassy sooner, and not just the American one.

You don't think a withdrawal after "fighting season" (yes Virginia, they have that there, which also says a lot) wouldn't have been smoother? Half or more of the Taliban would have been in Pakistan...

R&C, C'mon, you guys aren't that dense

Q, you outta know better then anyone.

I just don't care anymore. How do you stabilize something which can only exist in a destabilized condition? That's why I say, the ony way for that country to be peaceful and stable is for it to be a land devoid of all human presence. All human presence, gone. That's the only way. Or do we need another 14 centuries to figure it out?

The only way to make that happen is to make the place radioactive for 10,000 years. And you know what? On year 10,001, those barbarians would be back at it.

Well, just to be clear, BEFORE you edited that post, some may have gone another way with it.

Preview of Senile Joe's 3:34 pm address to the nation (seems he finally got woken up):

"It's Trump's fault...mumble mumble...you know, the thing! Trump's fault...my butt's been wiped! I'm gonna get in trouble for saying this but ("Dr." Jill motioning menacingly with a cut-throat gesture just off camera)...uhhh well, you know...ahh it's all Trump's fault!

Where's my mask?"

yes, my fault. My first post in this thread explained who's feet this mess is laid in front of imho.

The bigger issue is the release of 5,000+ Jihadi who want to take revenge on the United States,now we're stepping backwards and there will be tenfold the terrorist threats on the horizon.
Great job Joe.

At some point, this is going to come back and bite us in the ass.

Of course Droolin Joe and The Ho are going to blame it on Trump! At this point, I'm surprised that diabetes, the ethnic cleansing in Rwanda and the resurgence of high-waisted jeans on women aren't blamed on Trump.
