Biden's exact words from his call to the president of Afghanistan.

"things are not going well in terms of the fight against the Taliban,"

WTF are you talking about? The Taliban had better PR than the Afghan military, you think that’s what the problem was?

as GS said, and stupid idiot ( except Biden) should have known it would get messy, should have known it would t go according to plan. But we had no way of dealing with that, because that’s what happens when your president is a 78 year old Alzheimer’s patient and your Pentagon leadership is too busy worrying about diversity to have time to plan for contingencies in the battlefield.
