Monitoring Biden and other Contemporary Events

While I'm not fond of Trump and Biden, I stand behind them in this instance. I only wish Biden would take it a few steps forward and end more of our imperialistic wars and military presence around the globe.

What is it about democracy and human rights that you hate so much?

That fact that I agree that he is competent does not change the reality that his claims about the CIA training the Taliban are wrong and my claims about it having been done by Pakistan are correct.



Our military involvement for nearly the past seven years has been limited to that.



And almost all of those deaths occurred when US soldiers were engaging in active combat, and not from the period when our guys were merely training the Afghani Army.

From 2015 on, we and our NATO allies usually suffered fewer than 20 fatalities per year, the only exceptions being two peak years where we and our NATO allies suffered 26 fatalities.



Pointing out that your numbers are fake is not writing off any deaths.



You evil people are always such pleasant debaters.

Hightor is a traitor with bogus data.

I'm a patriot with sound facts.

Flat out arrogant obnoxious nonsense. T
That's why you're a laughingstock.

You don't speak for everyone. Only traitors have a problem with me.

I'm proud of our Armed Services standing on the front line, even through the difficulties they face. Each one swore an oath to the United States, which, by the way, is way more than you have ever done.

When Trump abandoned Syria and betrayed our Kurdish allies, did anyone see this kind of feces-flinging outrage and cries of ‘traitor’ coming from the likes of Oralloy?

How about when Trump gave our military bases to Russia?

Nothing?

Links, to the latter, please.

Clinton sold US uranium to Russia. How's that panning out for you?

and all the relevant agencies signed off on the deal, because uranium is abundant in the earth and there was no strategic need for it, another bogus builder blurt.

from wikipedia "uranium"

gtry to keep up.

you don't speak for everyone either. all those with any sense laugh at you. and damed near everyone of any political stripe has a problem with you. even builder, another ARCH CONSERVATIVE HAS A PROBLEM WITH YOU, AND YOU WITH HIM. EVIDENTLY BECAUSE YOU EACH ARE BIG ON CONSPIRACY THEORIES, BUT DIFFERENT ANTITHETICAL UBER CONSERVATIVE CONMSPIRACY THEOIRIESM WHICH PUT YOU TWO AT LOGGERHEADS. ******* capps lock.

The whole world is jeering at America.

"A suicide bomb attack Thursday outside the Abbey Gate at Kabul's airport in Afghanistan killed 13 U.S. service members and injured at least 18 more, U.S. officials said – making it the deadliest day for U.S. troops in 10 years.

Officials told Fox News late Thursday that those killed included 10 Marines, two Army soldiers and a Navy corpsman, correcting earlier reports that 12 Marines were killed.

The suicide bomb attack was followed up by a firefight by Islamic State gunmen at the gate, where the night before there had been 5,000 Afghans and potentially some Americans seeking access to the airport to flee. Crowds had gathered for days seeking to escape the country, and there had been multiple warnings of a terror threat to the area – particularly from the Islamic State.

LIVE UPDATES ON AFGHANISTAN SUICIDE BOMB ATTACKS

The Pentagon confirmed the initial explosion as well as a second attack at the Baron Hotel, where Americans have gathered in the past for rescue and evacuation. Marine Corps Gen. Kenneth McKenzie Jr. said two suicide bombers were assessed to be ISIS fighters.

"The threat from ISIS is extremely real," he said. "We believe it is their desire to continue those attacks, and we expect those attacks to continue, and we're doing everything we can to prepare for those attacks."

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin issued a statement on the attacks.

"On behalf of the men and women of the Department of Defense, I express deepest condolences to the loved ones and teammates of all those killed and wounded in Kabul today," he said. "Terrorists took their lives at the very moment these troops were trying to save the lives of others."

"We mourn their loss. We will treat their wounds. And we will support their families in what will most assuredly be devastating grief," he said. "But we will not be dissuaded from the task at hand."

More than five hours after the attack, President Biden had still not issued a statement about the attack. He is scheduled to speak at 5 p.m. ET.

It was not clear the extent of the injuries suffered by the troops, and how many others were hurt in the large crowds that regularly gathered at the airport seeking to flee the Taliban.

However, it marks the deadliest day for U.S. troops since insurgents in Afghanistan shot down a U.S. Chinook helicopter in August 2011 – which killed 38 people, including 31 U.S. troops.

The Taliban had moved quickly through the country ahead of the planned U.S. withdrawal at the end of the month, catching the U.S. off guard and leading to chaotic scenes at Kabul airport and a mass evacuation effort. As of Thursday, 104,000 people had been flown out, including 5,000 U.S. citizens. The Pentagon said about 1,000 Americans may still be in the country.

AMERICANS AT KABUL AIRPORT GATES URGED BY US EMBASSY IN AFGHANISTAN TO LEAVE ‘IMMEDIATELY’

There are currently 5,200 U.S. troops at the airport and thousands of Afghan evacuees still on the tarmac waiting to be evacuated. U.S. planes have been leaving every 40 minutes out of the airport.

A source briefed on the situation told Fox News that there are hundreds of Islamic States fighters in the vicinity and warned that attacks are "likely to continue."

Far-left liberals would tell you everything is going to be okay. Just several American victims; there is no need to make a fuss about it. Right?

If I were the guy sitting in the White House, I would send fighter jets to strike every military base and building owned by the Taliban. If that's not enough, the alternative would be more cruise missiles; the targets are the Taliban and Pakistan.

.the whole wolrd is sympathizing with americans. only assholes are jeering. biden had gotten 120,000 afghans and american out as of yesterday, probablhy close to 200 thousand by now.

Screw you, Muslim militants!

So you still think America should be pulling all its troops out of there? You want to wait for the Taliban and ISIS attack you at home? Rumor has it America is going to accept thousands of refugees or even more from there. Still remember the the 2015 migration crisis in Europe?

I think it's getting out of hand.

There won't be such things called democracy and the rule of law in Muslim nations. I think America only has two choices left: one is to stay away from them. The other one is to use force. Political and economic integration would not do the trick in Muslim nations because they are ruled by theocracy.

It's hard to imagine that America would choose the first option since it still has the duty to protect Israel.
