And yet this thread is about Biden.

Sad to hear. But when the 2 sides are so vitriolic then things go downhill fast. Even on this forum, you find yourself attacked if you merely point out some of Biden's more obvious failings. You're "far right", you're MAGA, you're a redneck gun toting Trump lover etc. etc. 😃. One has to chuckle. It's a sad state of affairs for US politics. Sad to see so many people falling into the trap of bickering amongst themselves while the elites get richer and the peasants squabble. Trump vs. Biden 🙈. Is it any wonder US politics is in such a mess if these are the best candidates they have to offer.

Hardly a surprise. Sniffing children, tripping over your own feet and building national debt in order to fund conflicts around the world is hardly a recipe for popularity.

Good luck with that. It appears that the world's oldest hatred is going nowhere. Especially when left wing politicians are stoking the flames (excuse the pun) at every opportunity. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12630791/former-labour-leader-jeremy-corbyn-pro-palestine-protest-london-speech-israel-gaza-war.html In the name of diversity Europe has managed to import conflicts from the middle east onto it's own streets. Well they made their bed, now they must lie in it.

Obama's nomination staying true to his word. Amit knows which side his bread is buttered. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

You're probably thinking of test cricket which is played over 5 days. The Olympics will play T20 cricket, which means each team bowls a maximum of 20 overs and the game is over in a few hours (weather depending). It's really not complicated. Once you know the terminology such as LBW, Flipper, Jaffa, Doosra, Silly mid off, second slip, Yorkers, leg spin, off spin, dibbly dobbly, beamer, bouncer, dolly, slog, sweep, plumb, nick etc. Hopefully the Australians leave the sandpaper at home.

Well done to these average teams who qualified, also to Scotland who scraped in. Now their supporters will be able to cheer their own team instead of whoever is playing England (or more likely as well as). In more important news, the mighty England qualified with a fantastic win over Italy. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/67141534 Get in!!!

Seems the EU isn't quite the paternal, caring, benevolent organization you've been painting them as. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Expect more decisions like this as the EU's leading economies suffer and they are forced to abandon expensive, flawed, unrealistic policies on "sustainability" that negatively affect the quality of people's lives. After all, no EU citizens voted to be poorer. 😉 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-10-16/germany-s-year-of-frailty-is-seen-ending-in-double-dip-recession

Yes this is good news. No need to spend hundreds of thousands of taxpayers money on court cases, appeals, and housing him in luxury jails. Another warning about the perils of illegal immigration, as if any more were needed.

They should have ensured security was sufficient to ensure that the Taliban didn't take over immediately after leaving.

Where is the flaw in my logic? Don't deflect this time. Show me the flaw.

It wasn't the reason for them going. It was a consequence of them going. A dire consequence. There's a lot about me that might surprise you. Given your dismissive attitude to the women of Afghanistan I'm more of a feminist than you could ever claim to be.

It's not confusing. They shouldn't have been there. However, having made the poor decision to go, they should at least have made sure there was something in place to replace what they destroyed before leaving.

Whataboutism at it's finest. Is that all you've got?

So there wasn't a power vacuum left behind that led to women's rights being obliterated? https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2023/03/afghanistan-un-experts-say-20-years-progress-women-and-girls-rights-erased As a feminist I thought you'd care about that. Obviously not.

Whatever Trump did or didn't do, Biden was in charge when they withdrew. He needs to own the chaotic way it was handled. Ultimately though, whether you like Trump or Biden (I like neither) it is the USA that is responsible for another overseas disaster that they should never have been involved in in the first place. Same as Vietnam. Same as Iraq.

No. They should have managed the withdrawal in a safe and orderly fashion and ensured that there was security in place to handle the massive power vacuum left behind after removing Al Qaeda. If they weren't prepared to do that, they should never have gone in.

Only when they are filmed screaming Alahhu Akbar during the shooting.

There you go again. Sad. No F's given for what was left behind as long as you can blame Trump. Played like a fiddle.

I was talking about the mess/power vacuum left behind after the war mongering in Afghanistan. But you already knew that. However, funding conflict and providing weapons for others to do the killing while you beat your chest and fly your flag about US strength is hardly endearing behaviour. Preferable to sending your own youth to do the killing as they did in Vietnam/Iraq/Afghanistan I suppose.

Let's hope it's a fatal gunshot, otherwise the loons at the ECHR will be demanding he's treated in a private hospital with full access to a mosque and HALAL meat.

It's sad that all you care about is trying to shift the blame away from Biden. I guess you're too wrapped up in US tribal politics to give a damn about the mess that the US war mongering leaves behind. Sadly, many Americans think like this. They don't care about women losing their human rights in Afghanistan, as long as they can blame the other side. It's pretty pathetic to be honest.

Clearly not been adhering to "Don't get high on your own supply".
