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.

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.

back on topic ......
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. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-58252174 |

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

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. Last edited by arista; 18-08-2021 at 02:59 AM. |

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. Last edited by arista; 18-08-2021 at 05:03 AM. |
