Afghanistan deadline - Page 41

First step was to judge and kill without a court order, by remote control.

The new breed of drones is programmed to judge the situation itself, so not only no court but also no human decision (and no human can be blamed anymore [/cynism])

But this is not even a cynical joke:

They left the dogs, who cares? Our economy is teetering on collapse, we’re printing trillions of dollars and Congress is spending it like crazy in an effort to prop it up, drone strikes galore, expanding military presence in Africa, May 1st withdrawal deadline scrapped for the politicization of a September 11th withdrawal from Afghanistan. Victory declared, yet people still left behind in Afghanistan, But it’s all worth it and rationalized because all that really matters is that Trump is not in office. Jesus H Christ WTH?

Unfortunately, the US is like Rome was around 385 AD.

The Biden administration and the military leadership are complete garbage and it sickens me that they are going to get away with it

Ok then our news channel has given us wrong information.

In their breaking news coverage they said that the last person to enter C17 plane was the ambassador and not there ain't no more boots on the ground.
But there are still hundreds of civilians who didn't get out or was helped.

And for future troubles coming from there I recommend to hire Thor and his little hammer.

Might be a good thing the Europeans are thinking they need to get their act together about defending themselves as well as the Japanese and Taiwanese forging closer ties for their defense.

I think Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's visit to the White House came at an opportune time for the Israelis. When other US allies were making noises of dissatisfaction, the Israelis gained against Iran by declaring their thanks for US support.

If I were the leader of any country allied with the US, I'd be looking to figure out how to better defend myself. There are rumors that the UK is not going to support any US military action anywhere in the world until Biden is out of office. Sounds like a good strategy for any other country.

This thread was about the Afghan deadline.

As I see it we can close this thread now and open it when US and it's allied once again has intervene in Afghanistan.

This was said by a Swedish journalist(I think it was) who said.

If Afghanistan becomes a terror nest where trained terrorist is send into the west, US and it's allied may intervene again.

Not yet. The Taliban have stated they will keep a safe lane for those who are still wanting out. It seems to me that would be in their best interests in the short term.
