Won't share the one where you can see people falling from the plane but if you go on Twitter you'll find it.

All just so sad. And unlike Saigon, more of it will be seen and it will be beamed round the world instantly.

They could be the best of friends and it wouldn't matter. They're not in their 20s crashing on each other's sofas anymore.

Look at Metallica, those guys still get along to a much better extent than GN'R. They aren't hanging around with acoustic guitars and jamming, but are coming to their writing sessions with ideas they each worked up. Some shit may get done together whilst in the studio but they're not doing shit the way they used to.

They have families and separate lives now. And rightly so they're all 50+.

Based on that bounty program where the paid militants linked to the Taliban to kill American soldiers I would be surrpised if there wasn't involvement on some level. Would also not be surprised if there was some help from China.

Biden has screwed up the exit, I said this. The seeds for this begin with the deal that your guy negotiated and signed off on. One that he no doubt described as "marvelous deal, beautiful deal, some people are saying the greatest deal in the middle east that anyone ever did".

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-51689443

"Within the first 135 days of the deal the US will reduce its forces in Afghanistan to 8,600, with allies also drawing down their forces proportionately.

The move would allow US President Donald Trump to show that he has brought troops home ahead of the US presidential election in November."

Doing things by arbitrary dates just for electoral gain is definitely a solid base for a great plan. /s

Also this:

"The deal also provides for a prisoner swap. Some 5,000 Taliban prisoners and 1,000 Afghan security force prisoners would be exchanged by 10 March, when talks between the Taliban and the Afghan government are due to start."

A shitty lopsided prisoner exchange with no guarantee or caveat about the outcome of power-sharing negotiations.

This deal sold the Afghan government down the river. Once the Taliban's got this deal there was no impetus for them to negotiate anything in good faith. That deal gives up all leverage.

Biden then compounds the mess with his exit plan. Clusterfuck, from top to bottom and from one admin to the next.

What a clusterfuck. Not much more needs to be said. This is going to be analysed for years to come.

Fuck up starts with how Trump sets this in motion, giving up so much for the optics of being seen to do something and getting so little in return.

Having Baradar released in 2018 without some guarantees. Stupid.
Signing that agreement in 2020, without also having some sort of power-sharing agreement negotiated and signed at the same time. Also, stupid.
Biden inheriting this hand and then handling the exit in such a rushed, disorganised manner. Extra stupid
