How many white people on Dinghies have you seen? Y'know the same people you called fighting age men, that are homosexual murderers, women herders, and paedophiles.

Notions of the dangerous "other" are linked to issues of race, whether implied, inherent, or explicit.

Did the bbc just dub the Taliban leaders voice with a female translator...

Idiots.

What's with your obsession about race? It's completely irrelevant.

If you've been profiling the migrants by skin colour, feel free to tell us...

I just called out your disgustingly racist post, so you're getting angry at the wrong person. Own it.

Showing distaste toward a backward culture isn't racist, you were the one who had to bring race into it.

Biden's election campaign could be boiled down to three messages to distinguish himself from Donald Trump. First, he would be more empathetic. He would be more competent. And instead of "America First", it would be replaced by the mantra "America is back".

But in his address yesterday, there wasn't a whole lot of empathy towards the thousands of Afghans who've helped Americans these past 20 years. On competence, even his biggest cheerleaders would struggle to say the withdrawal of American troops has been anything other than shambolic.

And after the bewildering events of the past few days, how exactly is America back? Many see what has unfolded on President Biden's watch in Afghanistan as a linear continuation of Donald Trump's America First policies - and, as some have joked cruelly, not as well organised.

The thing is after 20 years training and equipping 300 thousand troops and all the Americans and British troops that have been killed it has all been for nothing

They could of stayed for another 20 years and be in the same position it’s a war America or the uk can never win

I don’t think he is a fool he has been lied to by the people in power in Afghanistan and the Afghan troops are cowards

There comes a point where enough is enough

300 thousand Afghan troops as opposed to 85 thousand taliban soldiers and a population of 38 million

the number of afghan security forces that have died over the last 20 years is an order of magnitude greater than the USA/UK losses combined

Biden made no attempt to explain why the soldiers didn't fight over the last couple of weeks because that didn't fit his narrative. Even his biggest supporters must have seen that he was firmly placing the blame on everyone but himself and that is typically trump too

Yikes, I knew the US being there was preventing the inevitable from happening, but I did not expect it to happen this quickly.

Hopefully this opens people’s eyes to the threats that these countries pose to anyone that isn’t within their ‘acceptable’ lifestyle.

I genuinely find it insane that people thought it would be a good idea to announce that there were very few troops left… like surely people must realise that saying something like that would make them an easy target? If I had any family over there rn, I would be absolutely ****ting myself. My friend was supposed to be stationed in Afghanistan and I wonder if she would have still been there now

We are in this position because the Afghan government ran away and the Afghan army ran away.

Biden did what trump had already agreed to do, America spent 20 years there gave the Afghan forces the training and the best weapons but it couldn’t give them the will to fight and secure their own future.

Spoke with some who can not get to the Kabul Airport
Taliban checkers outside the Airport
are not letting all through.
They want women to stay and help their nation.

Conservative and Labour MP's
agree to let helpers in.

From WION HD
Gravitas report Live 6:30PM (SkyHD 523)

Had their reporter go back to that park
in Kabul which did have thousands.

Now they are under 100 there.

The rest went back home
as they now know, the Taliban run that nation.
