Look, I try not to care, too much, about what goes on in other countries. I try not to think about all the Afghans that will die, now; all the 12-year-olds who will be married off; the fall of an entire country; the fact that terrorists will have a breeding ground again; or the total waste of money and life that this all represents...

But it's kind of hard to just "ignore" what is going on. Your country has just capitulated, betrayed its allies and left complete destruction in its wake, for what, FOR WHAT?

And why, because a couple of old men (first Trump, and now dipshit Biden) decided it was politically expedient to do so...

I just... It's disgusting, to be frank. And you know what's significant? I suspect this represents the end of American "soft power", across much of the world. Because the world, including America's allies, will now see what a joke "that country's" military is. What lies America tells itself, and its allies. How "you" can't be relied upon. How utterly, utterly pathetic this whole debacle is. And how "your" president is a useless, lying, untrustworthy, duplicitous, idiotic fuck.

Look, I never particularly LIKED Trump, but I fail to understand how ANYONE can look at the fall of Kabul this week, look at the WORST US foreign policy failure in more than 40 years, and not see this as worse than anything Trump ever directly did, perhaps even including fucking Yemen...

I just... Fuck this. It is a fucking disgrace, and there is no room to make light of it. Biden and Psaki, and everyone else involved, deserves to rot in hell for this. Blood is on their hands, and no one, American, Afghan, Chinese or otherwise, should ever forget or forgive that.
