Afghanistan - well done our lads

[image deleted]
Well done our paratroopers now coming home from Afghanistan who were put in the unenviable position of evacuation thousands due to Biden’s bungling. One cannot believe that the Americans have left behind millions of dollars worth of equipment including 200 planes to people who are known terrorists. Worse still, there are databases of at least 7000 people who have worked with the Americans which the Taliban are now going round treating as traitors and executing. So well done Mr President. Mass genocide on your watch!

Even if the US had left behind 200 functional planes in Afghanistan (which is false, the vast majority were either evacuated or destroyed), it's not like the Taliban would be able to use them effectively for very long, or at a very long range. That said, it sucks a lot how many of the Afghans who worked with us are gonna get wrecked now, but given how fast the Afghan gov't fell, it's hard to imagine a way to effectively get them all out of there.

Don’t you seem to realise that people like the Chinese and Russians are going to get in on the act and the planes might be made functional by these sort of people@BlueVeins

@Grvstu The Chinese & Russians have plenty of planes of their own, no reason to mooch off of us. Even if they did, they'd probably only be able to maintain the aircraft that they, themselves built.

You live in a world of illusion. @BlueVeins
