President Biden: “The Taliban is not the North Vietnamese army..…There’s going to be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of the United States from Afghanistan. It is not at all comparable.”

Sec of State Blinken: "This is not Saigon."

AP: "Kabul was gripped by panic. Helicopters raced overhead throughout the day to evacuate personnel from the U.S. Embassy. Smoke rose near the compound as staff destroyed important documents, and the American flag was lowered."

What do you think of this take, MT?



I only became aware of him more recently, but he seems to rip all politicians equally, so I find him more tolerable than most.

interesting stuff at the moment. I'm old enough to remember us funding the 'afghan rebels' in the 80s, now our enemy of course.

The roots of all this stuff in the region go so far back that it's hard to know who to blame most but I do think the Clinton, Bush, Obama era essentially magnified all the worst regional issues in a way that has rarely benefited the people in the region and hard not to take the view that most of that has been driven by the bogeymen from the military industrial complex.

This is good, imo.

[Marky147]

Funny how muggy the mainstream media are.
