Jesus, Michael, this essay is just about perfect.

Seems like the media is more loyal to the war mongers than the democrats. Biden deserves a lot of credit for ending the war, and with no US casualties the withdrawal cannot be called a disaster. Results matter, forget the hysterical squawking coming from the elite globalists and war mongers. Bush, Cheney, Tony Blair and corporate media deserve full blame for the war and all the dead.

The globalists cabal is angry about this, as a country in the ME that controls much of US policy and media, might be in 8% more danger today than it was last month. The pattern is always the same.

Not only that, but how can the "Afghani women" and men for that matter, possibly enter the modern world without sufficient excitement and compliance to the all important most pressing issue today that is the LBGTQAI+ agenda? They won't be wearing masks, getting experimental jabs, or flying the rainbow flag next June? That's just crazy and I'm triggered!!

Holy crap. Never seen a more perfectly roasted poodle.

This is such a bad take considering the USA invoked Article 5 (Doctrine of Collective Security) of NATO’s treaty three weeks after 9/11 which obligated the UK and other NATO allies on eight measures in support the United States, which were tantamount to a declaration of war on Afghanistan. These allies were entitled to better consultations in Biden’s abrupt execution of the withdrawal. Tracey completely omits this context in this “caveat emptor” rebuttal to UK objections

It's time to abandon Heidelberg too. I think the East German border is safe now.

A mystery --- 170 dead Afghans and 13 US soldiers...

Just how a suicide bomber, in densely packed crowd, can kill 183 people?

Hey! I finally found a media outlet that maintains that getting out of Afghanistan is a good idea. But then they blame Trump for the withdrawal... It seems obvious to me that Biden (and lots of others) were lied to - that Biden really thought there were 30,000 loyal soldiers trained by Dyncorp and the rest.
