Taliban offensive of 2021 and collapse of Afghan government.

Well lets look at what else is going on in addition to a humiliating military and diplomatic disaster...
  • COVID shit still going on
  • State inforced vaccines and passports on the horizon
  • Increasing hostility to anyone who doesn't hold cool wine aunt views,
    • downright barring people from elite positions INCLUDING MILITARY
  • Ever mounting hypocrisy, hostility, and arrogance from elite class while actual competence is declining at rapid rate
  • Mass evictions any day now
  • Inflation incoming
  • High food prices
  • Higher rent and property tax
  • Economy still in shambles
There has to be someone in government that realizes they need to pull themselves out of this tailspin.
Don't worry with the forest fires in the PNW you'll get carbon taxes, congestion taxes, and more immigration to help the forest fires spread across the country.
 
Space Battleship Yamato unironically drove Japanese Naval recruitment for 30+ years.
Yamato I think unsells how important it is culturally to post empire Japan. You have the greatest ship in the IJN, The Yamato, pride of the rising sun and biggest battleship to have ever been constructed, sunk off the coast of Japan a few months before the surrender. Some 30 years later you have Yoshinobu Nishizaki and Leiji Matsumoto thinking, lets take this sunken relic, set it in a space opera setting that was just getting to be good in the mid 70s and have it save the human race instead of being used against it.
The result is Space Battleship Yamato not only being a cultural relic revived for the modern day with none of the stigma of Empire Japan attached to it, but would also influence other creators of Macross, Gundam and Evangelion.
I'm not saying this as a weeb but I haven't seen something redeemed like that and stay culturally significant in it's new light. The fact it also inspires national pride again is amazing.
 
Nope cause we broke our end of the bargain.

This is true, but as far as we know to this point they've kept theirs with but a couple of exceptions that can largely be chalked up to fog of war and not intentional attacks.

Obviously, they've considerable pragmatic reasons to do so, but all the same the Taliban has shown greater discipline, restraint and honor than the United States in this matter.
 
And this is my big complaint. He broke the cardinal rule of American Presidents. Never let the country be humiliated. You don't get to have a scenario where the American flag is fleeing and then claim it was all part of the plan.

We were defeated this year. Plain and simple. We have lost the cornerstone conflict that began on September 11. We LOST. This is honestly worse then Vietnam. What the Taliban did all those years ago justified every bomb and every life we expended to try and destroy them. But our political leadership FAILED. The dead of 9/11 remain unavenged as the architect's of their deaths remain in power.

I am old enough to remember 9/11. I got dragged out of my engineering class because of it. We got sent home from school that day. The girls were crying, the one Muslim girl in our class looked like she wanted the earth to swallow her, the boys were talking about how we would nuke the middle east and kill all the Muslims. A few years later I even got to fight in this war on terror.

And this is how it ends. Failure. And a Prsident, the living sock puppet of all these beaurocrats who "fortified" our elections blaming everyone but himself and the idiots who led this disastrous campaign.
Don't worry. As long as there is a developing country with a marginal militia and colored people the United States still has a chance of staging another war for that sweet sweet WINNING.

Edit: fucked up the joke with a typo, goddamn me...

When I saw them taxiing along with all the guys waving sitting on the opened doors thinking they were going to somehow ride the plane out like it was a fucking camel or something... I pretty much assumed they'd just all fall off as the door closed. Didn't expect someone to actually get jammed in it.
 
Fun fact, for those that are unaware like I was up until 10 minutes ago:

Jimmy Carter, who people keep comparing Biden to, is still alive at 96 years old. He attended Trump's inauguration in 2017.

And this man is probably more capable of leading the nation.
Carter fucked up a lot of things with his dumb ideas but I still have respect for him as a person. He served on a submarine when they where actually still risky and was around during the birth of the nuclear navy. That experience let him recognize he was being bullshitted when the 3 mile island accident happened so he decided to go there himself to figure out the truth. And to also calm the public down who where freaking the fuck out. What modern day president would go in to a situation like that? A nuke plant people where thinking (at the time) could melt down/explode at any minute.

The dude also has been spending his whole retirement fundraising and actually working on job sites building houses for Habitat for Humanity

Maybe one of the worst presidents but probably also the last one who actually believed in being a public servant.

Man imagine if animators in America could somehow make something that did something like that based on this shit.

I doubt it tho.
 
Man. And I thought Biden would be boring as President.
he is, his fuck ups are not
Trump would be tweeting nonstop for the last 24 hours

YUGE DAY, leaving Afghanistan. Good Luck!

Reports of AMERICAN citizens trapped are FAKE NEWS. it's a witch hunt to return us to the endless wars!

if he had the strength to jump on a plane, he had the strength to fight the taliban. Sad!

our embassy is as safe as it has EVER been. If Obama was in charge, it would be on FIRE

You chums have the memory of a goldenfish. They killed a Reuters photojournalist a week back amd mutilated his remains. Those 5000 ALLAHxArmy members should've been thrown in a wood chipper along with their leader. MuH wE DoNT neGOtiaTe wITh tErRoriSts. WE'll jUsT rEmovE tALibAN fROm the TeRrorIst LiST. American intelligence is only efficient in making plans on how to smuggle narcotics

No clue, but I’m willing to bet that they try and get more female recruits to make Girls und Panzer a reality.



There’s gotta be a long time before that shit boils over. Street skirmishes with Antifa and anti Antifa don’t even have guns and bombs yet, and they hate each other more than Bloods and the Crips.
they won't try to recruit females but they'll definitely make some live action stuff to generate interest in the JSDF.

something like this but on a government pr budget.

Everything you say about Carter is true, but he wasn't one of the worst, not in retrospect. The neocons and grifters got their start and firmly entrenched themselves during his successor's administrations, and have been bleeding this country dry at our expense ever since. So Carter wasn't the worst president by far.
