Does General Milly Vanilly still have a job this morning?

It is hard to tell.

We allegedly have a Secretary of Defense - I think his name is Lloyd Austen. But he has never really been seen anywhere, anytime other than long testimony before congress about how transgenders are going to be his focus.

You would think that they have been shiite-canned and gone by now but they gave the right answers before congress on woke stuff so total failure on military matters is probably not a problem for them.

Yeh, I know. It is racist on my part to expect a black Secretary of Defense to actually show up for work and to speak to the public with regular updates. Lot of white folks in the public, so fuck em.

The arrogant prick who is our Commander in Chief only showed up for an appearance because the press and public used the jaws of life to extract him from his lazy boy recliner, then he took ZERO questions.

As one of Obama's many accomplishments, he did not see a terrorist that he did not love and he released as many as he can during his time in office. Exchanged 5 Taliban for Bowe Bergdahl who deserted his unit and got captured. Some of those searching for him got killed or wounded in the process but, nothing to see here.

Angela Merkel shares responsibility for 'widespread' Afghanistan misjudgment ahead of Biden comments

German Chancellor Angela Merkel spoke out on Monday regarding the rapidly-deteriorating situation in Afghanistan, where the Taliban have seized near-total control. Her comments came ahead of President Biden's, which are scheduled for later Monday afternoon.

"We have all, and I also take responsibility for this, misjudged the situation," said Merkel, per German news outlet Deutsche Welle. "We had a wrong assessment of the situation, and that is not just a wrong German assessment, but it is widespread," she added.

The "breathtaking speed" with which the Taliban have advanced is particularly "bitter, dramatic, and awful" for "the millions of Afghans" who "counted on the support of the Western countries when it comes to democracy, education, women's rights," she continued, perThe Washington Post.

The chancellor also called for a thorough analysis of what went wrong, and vowed to support refugees in neighboring countries like Pakistan so as to not repeat the 2015 migrant crisis, report the PostandReuters. She implored other western countries to do the same.

Earlier Monday, during a closed-door party meeting, Merkel reportedly told colleagues that Germany must "urgently" evacuate up to 10,000 people from Afghanistan, and warned that the "fallout from the conflict will last for a very long time," writesReuters. "We are witnessing difficult times," Merkel reportedly said. "Now we must focus on the rescue mission."

Howz that "America is Back" working out for you today Angela?

As is often the case, the trailer for the movie is better than the actual movie itself.

You think this current clown in the White House is your line defense against Russians, jihadists, whatever that are feeling expansionist. Think again, Angela, although I can see that you already are. We lose, you lose on steroids. Ditto for Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan, ............

You think an American population rapidly being replaced by Central Americans gives a shiite about Germany, Europe, Asia?

MORE TO COME.

The left thinks this is a rug-sweep.... like Benghazi. A few platitudes from Kabul Joe and everything keeps spinning as before.

Nope.

Better than Trump with his pockets full of Russian money.
Biden became Presient because Trump was even worse.
Republicans would have won the elections with any other candidate than Trump. So basically the Republicans created this situation.

Is this Logic from a leftist...that's a rare site
Logic is a continuum
Trump became president because of Obama
Democrats would have won with any other candidate then Hillary

Truth bombs, every word.

The system is oscillatory. So there is underdamped, damped, and overdamped behaviors.

The election of Barrack Obama was radical and it did in fact give rise to Donald Trump. The system is underdamped now and ringing wildly like the 1860s.

So Biden didn't cheat to win, thank you.
