Color me dumbfounded
 

I thought I'd come here to see what you guys are saying about the biggest news story of the month and probably the century - the catastrophic pullout from Afghanistan. It is the main thing anyone is talking about.

Yet All of the latest posts on every subforum here are devoid of any mention of it, except for the thread I started a few minutes ago.

This tells me all I need to know. This whole site is a clown show. I'm outa here. You guys carry on with your ad-hom, deflection and projection. I'll stick with discussing with adults. I needed to see that to make a clean and permanent break

Enjoy your bubble.

Over 20 current messages in this thread. These days that a massive post storm!

I'm not remotely interested in people without real knowledge of the situation, its history and causes providing me with their self-serving hot-takes on Afghanistan.

If you really want to learn and understand what's happening there, here's a good take from someone in the know.

Trust me, the Insane Clown is well aware of the active discussion, and isn’t the least bit interested in learning anything that challenges his troll narrative. Trolls gonna do what trolls do.

Very good, clear account. Regarding the last line of it, I observed elsewhere that what we accomplished for 20 years investment was lots of politicians and officials avoiding having their careers sullied by 'loosing' Afghanistan.

Was there not the opportunity in around the 2003 time frame?
When Afghanistan was working out a new constitution and government. The Taliban we in a much weaken position and were begging to be included. Totally shut out of the discussion.

One must wonder if this was a lost chance at a peaceful solution....

Ex-national security director: Trump said Afghan military won't 'last two days' but made Taliban deal anyway

Every politician in DC has known for years that pulling of of this unwinnable war was inevitable, but didn’t want to be accused of “losing the war”. Biden had the courage to just do it. Now, of course, the nazis, including little Stevie Miller and Fucker Carlson, are squawking about bringing the Afghans who helped our troops here. Sigh.

WTF

Are you serious?

Trump officials scramble for distance from his Taliban deal

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...-taliban-deal/

The biggest story of the century so far is the serial efforts of a sitting Potus to subvert an election and the succession process. The Capitol rally riot insurrection of Jan 6 is the indelible historical benchmark.

Here is more in living color.

FILE - In this Feb. 29, 2020, file photo, U.S. peace envoy Zalmay Khalilzad, left, and Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, the Taliban group's top political leader shake hands after signing a peace agreement between Taliban and U.S. officials in Doha, Qatar. President Joe Biden and his national security team say the Trump administration tied their hands when it came to the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. The argument that President Donald Trump's February 2020 deal with the Taliban set the stage for the weekend chaos that unfolded in Kabul has some merit. But, it's far from the full story.

I support President Biden for pulling our troops out on schedule rather than hanging around propping a corrupt government and a weak incompetent military who were more than willing to take our money, but not stand up and fight when it counted.

A damning summary of the now-defunct occupation of Afghanistan led by the United States.

I suppose it should not be surprising considering the Republican regime that was in power at the start of the occupation. The anti-democratic spirit of that occupation is sickening.

Color me unimpressed with the OP's wacknut reichwing hyperbole and the MSM's incessant need to find out what John Bolton thinks about what he was so wrong about. Fucking ghouls.

Bye Felicia.

This isn't an airport. You don't need to announce your departure.

'Racist hysteria': Former Trump insider reveals the ex-president and Stephen Miller sabotaged Afghan refugees

Conservative details how Trump and Pompeo designed the Afghanistan withdrawal they blame Biden for

https://www.alternet.org/2021/08/afghanistan-trump/

Failed to bring in the Taliban when setting up the country in 2003 under a Bush in charge.
Then failed to have the last Afghanistan government at the table later in 2020 for the pullout treaty under Trumps watch.


Now Biden gets blamed?

Whenever I read a post like this one on a forum, I'm left wondering if it's really just a cry for attention and that the poster is hoping for members to beg that person to stay.

I on the other hand, am tempted to tell the person to not let the door smack you in the ass on the way out. Different strokes I guess.

He originally came here throwing bombs to own the libz, disingenuously calling it a "debate" challenge.

Why does anybody pay any attention to this asshat?

Meh. He comes here to stoke outrage, like his heros on Faux "News" do to idiot Trumpkins. Unfortunately for him, most here are far more intelligent than his ilk. Those who aren't don't last long.

On an earlier occasion of flouncing: http://www.politicalchat.org/showpos...&postcount=170

I like the "Don't let the door knob hit ya' where the good Lord split ya' " version of that. Unless he gets the attention he craves elsewhere he'll be back.

When I read it just thought of this........

It sounds as if this guy has a habit of promising to leave the party and then to come crawling back after a while. If that's the case, he's more pathetic than I thought.

An unintelligent (insofar as inability of gauging your audience) rabblerouser who spouts the last blusterous eruption from Faux/Infowars/Blaze et. al.
