[News] Kabul Explosion Being Reported Near Airport

Minimal amount, which normally means anything from 100 - 1000.
The first sensible post on this thread.
I think 'nuke 'em' was the most asinine. The conspiracy theory that this was deliberately set up by the Americans to justify another American invasion is . . . no it is even more stupid. And the bloke who thinks that anyone not prepared to lynch Biden over this has a left wing agenda needs to be told that the Daily Mail is for wrapping chips, not for determining where the latest left wing outrage has taken place. As for the people who don't know the difference between the taliban and ISIS and don't consider it matters, well, perhaps the w**s do start at Calais after all.
Still, everyone is entittled to their opinion innit.
Bit facetious, but whatever floats ya boat
I think it was a reference to the drug taking there back when. I was thinking of replying 'and how did you feel after you'd run out of smack?' but decided to stiff a few other tittish posts instead.
I'll stick with my original before being 'corrected' thank you. It's not as if Afghans* weren't killing each other before the British arrived, and the evidence is before your eyes that even you cannot deny that they will go on killing long after we, the USA and anyone else leaves.
*Just by way of clarification, before any (political) 'corrections' come my way, this does not mean all Afghans. Many - most - are not murderous b*st*rds like ISIS and the Taliban, and do not, and did not want violence; they are all too often the ones that get killed.

So lets believe everything on Netflix which says 'based on a true story'
I used the example to riff off the poster who started in on me on the Netflix thing. Not even seen it. Tho I know OF the fake resort of Arous, set up by Mossad to smuggle thousands of Ethiopian Jews out of that country and into Israel. I know it courtesy of the very excellent book 'Mossad: The Great Operations Of Israel's Secret Service' by Mossad insiders Michael Bar-Zohar and Nissim Mishal. So wind yer neck in

Not even seen it but you have an opinion and make a post based on that opinion!! Jeez
Trump was also in favour of walking away but was too busy being a mad prick to get on with the job.
No, but you carry on blaming left wingers if it fits your narrative.
And whatbout that old extreme left winger Lord Mountbatten who took us out of India? That went well....
Not sure if you're that bothered about what goes on in the world, with that axe you are so keen to grind, but the retreat from Afghanistan was wrong in my view. The Americans should have remained there forever, till the locals had finally grasped the nettle. As long as it takes. So we agree. A pity therefore that you derailed your narrative by seeking to score imaginary left versus right points.
The right wing anti Biden campaign is tedious, and a pathetic rerun of the same old bollocks directed at Bill Clinton, his missus, Obama and every other Democrat who has stood up abover the parapet. To call this lot left wing is ludicrous. Hilary liked to grandstand to the rust belt but she was a different voice elsewhere (which I found nauseating; albeit less so than Trump). They are all more right wing than Boris. Beware confirmation bias.

The extreme wing of Muslim fundamentalists hate the West and even the Taliban for not being extreme enough and actually negotiating with the US. When these people blow themselves up they are convinced a wonderful heaven awaits. The real fruit loops will see this as a " Heroic " strike against the West.

That big bit that you edited out of my post that explains the whole context of the post? You'll be disappointed with that effort. Apology accepted
That isn't an option. And the Taliban will probably win this time.
Yes of course the Taliban are reprehensible medaevil scum but they are far less reprenensible than ISIS. All those poor people set on fire, that poor English woman who was filmed having her throat slit while she begged and cried - that was ISIS. A different league of evil. You can look it up if you have a couple of hours free to dip into the depths of hell.

to do what? reverse the withdrawal, and break out of a surrounded Kabul airport to take back the country? dont have to be a military strategist to understand how quickly and how badly that would go pear-shaped.

The BBC noted that a page on the Republican Party's official website praising Donald Trump's negotiations and final deal to withdraw from Afghanistan as a resounding success.....has been quietly removed without comment.

Short memory.
There are plenty of historical Taliban victims who would beg to differ.
The Taliban massacred thousands in the late 90`s, Hazara Shias were one ethnic group that were particularly targeted.
The Taliban tortured and brutalised countless numbers of people when they took over back then, they raped and murdered women and children and thousands of women simply disappeared for reasons too dreadful to think about. Their brutal regime is well documented by amnesty and human rights organisations.
The Taliban and the Islamic State are of the same ilk.
Evil tossers.

Nobody is saying they should reinvade the country...Biden needs to wake up and realise he cant negotiate with the Taliban....( they dont have the know how or the arms to stop ISIS)
The US military is the biggest and strongest in the wester world and he gives in to the Taliban......no wonder most americans are feeling humiliated.

Defense secretary briefed Pelosi and Schumer on Afghanistan today
From CNN's Ryan Nobles
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was briefed on the situation in Afghanistan by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin by phone today, her spokesperson Drew Hammill tells CNN.*
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has also been briefed by the defense secretary on the situation, according to a statement from his office.
“I strongly condemn this act of terrorism and it must be clear to the world that the terrorists who perpetrated this will be sought and brought to justice,"*Schumer*said in the statement.*
This is how the US will most probably return, special forces... IMO

I agree.
And it seems the acceptable level of collateral damage has gone through the roof. It wasn't so long ago that a nation would be bombed or invaded if one American citizen was taken, there.
Another point, the politicians have been called out for playing politics. But the buck always stops with the electorate. If US citizens keep voting for shithousery then what do we expect? In the brief peried when they had a dignified and wise President they went and elected a hostile congress and senate to thwart his every move.
If Biden does go back in then I will hold my hands up and accept that he is a senile sleepy Joe. In the meantime I'm in camp [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION]. I can't see how it could happen.
