I cant stop thinking about that poor mans legs flapping about in the plane landing system video I just seen.

Its especially hard to forget when the american secretary of defence lloyd j Austin the third is saying america has a moral obligation to help those who helped us..

I suggest seating, or at least a safe standing area, for you passengers should be your first obligation.

Joe Biden bears a grave responsibility for the chaos in Afghanistan

The President’s handling of this sorry affair raises serious questions about his
ability to lead America and the free world


Joe Biden’s attempts to deflect blame away from the White House for the
Taliban’s seizure of power in Afghanistan are utterly lacking in conviction.
While the US President insists that he stands “squarely” by his unilateral
decision to withdraw American forces, the country’s rapid descent into chaos
since the fall of Kabul at the weekend suggests it has been nothing short of a
disaster, both for the future of the Afghan people and for America’s world
standing.

The President attempted to shift the blame onto his predecessor Donald
Trump, who negotiated the original deal with the Taliban, the Doha
Agreement, in February last year, and which laid the groundwork for
America’s military withdrawal. Mr Biden has also criticised the Afghan people
themselves for not heeding his call, made last week, to unite and “fight for
themselves”.

Mr Trump’s Taliban deal was far from perfect, as it was negotiated without
involving Afghanistan’s democratically-elected government. Nevertheless, the
basis of the agreement was that the completion of America’s military
withdrawal was contingent on the Taliban reaching a peace deal with Afghan
President Ashraf Ghani.

This vital requirement became obsolete the moment Mr Biden announced
that America was ending its 20-year-long involvement in Afghanistan in time
for next month’s anniversary of the September 11 attacks, which prompted
Washington’s military intervention in the first place.

With Afghanistan’s principal ally withdrawing its support at such a critical
juncture, it is perhaps hardly surprising that the country’s beleaguered
security forces lost the will to fight, and Mr Biden’s casual dismissal of their
efforts makes the American leader appear callous and uncaring.

Indeed, the President’s handling of this sorry affair raises serious questions
about his competence both as the leader of the free world and as America’s
commander-in-chief. Mr Biden assumed power in January promising to bring
political stability to Washington after the turbulence of the Trump era. Yet his
bungling of America’s exit from Afghanistan has resulted in the US suffering
arguably the greatest blow to its global prestige since Vietnam in the 1970s.
Mr Biden looks increasingly like a weak and isolated president, one whose
political fortunes may have suffered irreparable damage.

This is incorrect, wars keep nations in perpetual poverty and poverty increases the birth rate - it does not decrease it. Wealthy countries who don't see conflict on their doorsteps (such as Western Europe, the US, Australiasia) have stagnating or even declining populations.

If they wanted to reduce the population they'd keep the world fat, happy, entertained and on birth control.

[edit to clarify] The second part (about population control) is incorrect, I should clarify. The part about there being people out there profiting massively from war is spot on. And probably the main reason for the perpetual conflict in the middle east.

I don’t remember who but I remember someone saying something about there not being terrorism in different parts of the world… I’m not being obnoxious or ignorant but I wanna know what you mean by that.

I remember there being a few terrorist attacks in recent years… Like Pulse and Ariana and then the lorry thing in Nice

I’m concerned about more of these happening with all this chaos.

I wonder if there terror threat has been raised.

There’s already a good number of isis/other extremists all through out Europe and the Us… it’s scary to think how many more there will be over the next coming years

It genuinely terrifies me
