It seems doubling down is the theme of the hour, no sooner had Biden burnt his boats than Ben Wallace defense minister says similar on Talk Radio and our chief of defense staff here thinks the Taliban are cuddly country boys, in any other universe both would be led away on a tumbril.

Next Presidential Election Meme: "Anyone except Biden" - assuming he gets that far. Or perhaps "Anyone but Harris" otherwise.
Had the religious goat-herders managed to peacefully cope with American withdrawal, Biden would doubtless be taking credit for it. Perhaps he didn't work hard enough on convincing them about open borders and trans rights.
Wiggia - it's hard to say. For those at the top of the Taliban tree there is presumably some prospect of acquiring enormous wealth via mineral extraction. On the other hand it could all fall apart for the usual reasons.
DJ - yes, assuming he gets that far and nobody seems to like or respect Harris. What a situation.
Sam - although someone may have mentioned the prospect of acquiring enormous wealth via mineral extraction. No need to be woke for that of course.
In a perfect world , if there is such a thing, at some point in the future, every Democrat politician in the USA will be publicly asked why they voted for a dementia ridden, hair sniffing, paedophile, and a giggling fellatrix, to be the figureheads of the people who really run the country. Their answers should be quite interesting.
Penseivat - I like to think that some of them at least are asking themselves that question. It ought to be all of them but it won't be.
