not sure if they'll call The Hill fake news too, but a quick youtube look gives you this:
even if this is inaccurate, everyone knows biometric data was taken and that the embassy was evacuated in haste with nowhere near enough time to destroy everything. is it really that much of a stretch to imagine it fell into the hands of the Taliban?

This shit is what happened when you fill your logistics corpse with troons and set them working out the logistics of sensitivity training rather than evacuating civilians from a rapidly deteriorating state (that you have had month of notice about happening).
At this point I wouldn't be suprised if some "convenient" atrocity occured to justify another invasion for them to save face and continue the forever war, Biden was all for it after all.

I agree. I always hated it when people dismissed concerns that combat arms is still competent while only the pog trades are infested with trannies, niggers and sheboon niggers. Logistics win wars and you can't do that when Specialist Latisha Bixnood Washington Jackson is selling off your equipment on ebay for extra bling bling money.

During the ongoing state visit to Singapore: Journalist asks VP Kamala Harris what went wrong with the US withdrawal from Afghanistan. Not sure who/what org asked the question (or if questions were screened). (ETA: In the full video, the reporter is introduced from 20:59 as Nandita Bose from Reuters.) The channel is a regional news station under a Singapore public broadcaster.
ETA transcription.
JOURNALIST: We're in a situation where Afghans have been trampled, died, as they rushed to flee a nation where America fought for twenty years. American citizens are still stuck without safe passage. I understand that you agree with the decision to withdraw, but in your assessment, what went wrong with the withdrawal? And I have a question for the Prime Minister as well--we understand you have offered help with evacuations, sir, but does the fall of Afghanistan twenty years after the US started military operations there, to drive out the Taliban, does that change your calculus on how you can rely on America as a partner in this region, both militarily and economically? Does that impact the credibility of America's foreign policy promises?

HARRIS: So I understand and appreciate why you asked the question, and I think there's gonna be plenty of time to analyze what has happened and what has taken place in the context of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, but right now we are singularly focused on evacuating American citizens, Afghans who worked with us, and Afghans who are vulnerable, including women and children. And that is our singular focus at this time, understanding that we have a priority in making sure that the people that in particular helped America achieve its responsibilities in terms of our priorities and the reason we went to Afghanistan in the first place, that we have a responsibility and we feel a deep commitment to making sure that folks that helped us are safe. But there's no question that what many of us have seen on television--the President has said, I mean the President has shown great emotion in expressing, um, sadness about some of the images we've seen. But we cannot be, in any way, um... distracted, in any way, from what must be our primary mission right now, which is evacuating people from that region who, who deserve to be evacuated.
LEE: I think I already addressed the point you raised in my earlier remarks, because we are watching what's happening in Afghanistan on the TV screens today, but what will influence perceptions of US resolve and commitment to the region will be what the US does going forward--how it repositions itself in the region, how it engages its broad range of friends and partners and allies in the region, and how it continues the fight against terrorism. Countries make calculations and take positions, and they have to make recalculations and adjust their positions from time to time. Sometimes it can be done smoothly, sometimes there are hiccups, sometimes there's... things go awry and take time to put right. But countries remain with long-term interests, with long-term partners, and it's the mark of a country which can succeed that it takes these interests and partners seriously, and in a dispassionate way, and maintains them over the long term. And the US has been in the region since the war [World War II]--which is more than 70 years ago--there have been ups and downs, there have been difficult moments, there have also been, over decades, dramatic transformations in Asia, wrought by the benign and constructive influence of the United States as a regional guarantor of security and support of prosperity. And Singapore hopes and works on the basis that the US will continue to play that role, and continue to engage the region, for many more years to come.

Good show but I would suggest more clips of Biden saying it wouldn't be Saigon 2 and that the Taliban wouldn't take over.

They say hindsight's always 20/20. So when you ask yourself why America lost the War on Terror, it's because of faggot politicians like him larping as military generals.

many people that know the logistics needed for an evacuation to proceed have, prior to this, noted that it would be physically impossible to get the numbers we're talking about (tens of thousands if not well over 100,000) out of the country via JUST that airport by that date.
frens...I think we have exited the previous week's theme song of The Wretched and entered some truly Destructible Times:

B. Try to but leave half there

D: the Taliban attacking the Kabul Airport on 9/1 will be used as an excuse to resume the forever war and please all the generals, lobbyists, and politicians who never wanted to leave in the first place, for fear of no longer making mad cash off of the blood of Afghan people and American soldiers.
The various Uniparty factions surrounding the Biden administration have shown how little they've learned from the past twenty years of American political shift that I can absolutely believe they still think a new war would be good PR for them.
