There was no other possible outcome. Biden did the right thing-probably the best thing he's done since he's been in office. Imagine what 20 years and trillions of dollars wasted on a hopeless project like Afghanistan could have done to better our own country? To say nothing of the casualties. Of course it was all for nothing. America really sucks at Imperialism.

Well, what's the next war then? Hypocrite corporate born-again Jesus freaks, who work for Lockheed Martin then go home to their suburbs in New Jersey, gotta eat.

I fucking hate Joe Biden as much as I hate Trump, but I'm declaring my love for him getting us out of Afghanistan.
Now he should send warmonger shitheads like Liz Cheney and Adam Schiff to rescue the thousands of Americans he left behind.

So given what we (think) we know, how could Joe Biden have come out of this a winner? Was there any way he could have?

No, like so many things, it's a shit sandwich of many creators; when it's served, you lose.

Butbutbut... There might be some Americans hiding out somewhere that the government doesn't know about and they might be left behind! It's nearly CERTAIN that we won't get 100% of the eligible people out of there!

Nobody in the US gives a fuck about Afghanistan except how they can use it to political advantage here.

I've always been annoyed by American Imperialism, but I'm not sure how much I realized the media and both Democrats and Republicans are fully pro war until the Afghanistan "fiasco". Getting out of Afghanistan is probably the best thing Biden has done so far. I love how the media is pretending we were ever there for humanitarian reasons in the first place and that we have some kind of moral obligation to stay indefinitely. And the American public seems to be buying it, seeing as how Biden's approval rating has plummeted.

Biden's approval rating took its first major dive, but the public has insect memory.
A year from now all people will remember is that we're done with Afghanistan, and that Biden accomplished (imperfectly) what the last two presidents promised to do. All the rest is spin, and it will evaporate for all who live outside of the right-wing bubble.

Biden is as big a prick as BoJo. They’ve made a pig’s ear of the Afghan situation. I’ve been following the plight of Pen Fathing and the animals (cats and dogs) he’s trying to rescue and both of these dickheads have screwed him over. Fucking sickening.
