Saigon?
Nope, Kabul, or whatever the Taliban will rename it next week.
Is it safe to presume, since the American Right is in love with Orban, Putin & Erdogan, that the feeling is similar with the Taliban?
They too are hellbent in building an *illiberal* state, much like the Evangelical Right is in America.

Wow, they may be the worst analogy you have ever posted.Is it safe to presume, since the American Right is in love with Orban, Putin & Erdogan, that the feeling is similar with the Taliban?

Liberals are idiots. They have a mental illness. They have a fundamental misunderstanding of the real world, but view everything through the lense of some utopian ideal. Just look at the utopias of Portland, SF, Chicago, and LA.The difference to liberals is that it's OK if muslims do it.
But once again, why libs can't meme. Those anti- republican points aren't true. I don't know anybody who thinks prayer in schools should be mandatory, simply allowed. Focused on Wars? That's an establishment issue for both parties and a big reason why many on the right hated Trump. As usual, mostly nonsense.
Yes it would. If Trump had been re-elected, our troops would have been out by May. Please tell me how anything turns out differently under that scenario.I would suggest all of America simply ask themselves...
If Trump hadn't been fraudulently ousted, would Afghanistan be overrun today?
You maybe right, but I can't image it would be to this level of apparent incompetence. If what I'm seeing is factual, how do you leave all these people stranded?Yes it would. If Trump had been re-elected, our troops would have been out by May. Please tell me how anything turns out differently under that scenario.
Trump was at least pragmatic and was trying to engage the Taliban directly to mitigate this disastrous ending. People did not like him negotiating with them but it sure as hell would have ended better than this shitshow. Yet another time Trump was right and saw the writing on the wall.Yes it would. If Trump had been re-elected, our troops would have been out by May. Please tell me how anything turns out differently under that scenario.

Trump's mistake was negotiating with the Taliban. They weren't going to keep their word, and they have no reason to. We were leaving. They waited us out 20 years, what's another couple of months? They aren't any more afraid of Trump than they are of joe Biden. They just fought our military to a stalemate for 20 years. Do you really think they were scared we'd come back? Afraid of Trump. LOL.we would have gotten all our people and equipment out first and then handed the country over. Taliban takeover was inevitable which is why Trump was negotiating with them. Trump was also going to impose conditions on the withdrawal. Things like don’t enslave women or we’re coming back. Biden just left.

Trump was praised for wanting to get out hastily and was talked out of it. If Trump would have followed through we would be in the same situation now. I don't care what kind of preliminary deals Trump had when you are relying on the taliban to hold them up. The middle east is just a **** show.
I'd like to think an orderly exit with the threat of a speedy and violent return may have kept some semblance of order in the area. Recent reports are suggesting that the Afghan military folks haven't been paid for months as the funding is being rerouted to God knows where...Yes it would. If Trump had been re-elected, our troops would have been out by May. Please tell me how anything turns out differently under that scenario.
FIFY.The shame isn't in leaving, it's in being run off by a bunch of herding goat-******* because they can't come up with a reasonable exit plan.
Uh. Hello? Vegetable specifically said that the Taliban wouldn't take over. Duh. They're probably just helping the remaining U.S. resources pack and load up U-Hauls. You big bunch of negative Nancy's.Holy hell. The demise of Afghanistan is happening much faster than thought possible.
