Here we Go... all that equipment was provided by the US and other countries for the past 20yrs by several Administrations .. For the Afghan Army to defend their Country .. to include their air force who ran quicker than the french in WW2

Uzbek government official confirmed to Air Force Magazine that 46 aircraft, including 22 fixed wing and 24 helicopters, and 585 Afghan airmen and soldiers had fled to Uzbekistan by air after the fall of Kabul.

and as if on Cue Conservatives make excuses why they ran.. never once calling them Cowards then move on to a new outrage AKA your list ... completely ignoring whos equipment it was and why it was even there ... for the past 20 years .. So now you think the taliban is going to fly a blackhawk to attack America Cant argue with such logic

Wayne they get the talking points from the usual outlets, never mind the fact the US should have never stayed there after our initial mission was completed. We all enjoy our democracy, but to be so arrogant to believe we can force that way of life elsewhere is a mistake we continue to make.

I was listening to a reporter from the BBC this morning on NPR, Wayne loves the British press and I bet you love NPR, the reporter was commenting on Boris Johnson his recent remarks about UK service people's lives and efforts in Afghanistan not being in vain...and the reporter referred to the current situation in Afghanistan as "what is widely recognized as a foreign policy disaster"...those were not Boris' words, that was the characterization of the BBC reporter...probably a trump voter

the past 20 years or the past 2 weeks what is widely recognized as a foreign policy disaster

was it this guy ? Tory MP Tom Tugendhat said the UK had "abandoned the Afghan people".

The withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan is Britain's biggest foreign policy disaster since the Suez crisis of 1956, the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee has said.

Tory party I would think they would be Trump Supporters

bi-partisanship..

Unprecedented Dishonor: UK Holds Biden in Contempt for 'Shameful' and 'Catastrophic' Afghanistan Withdrawal

Because of this, on Wednesday, the British Houses of Parliament decided to hold Biden’s handling of the situation in contempt, with lawmakers condemning his withdrawal plan as “catastrophic” and “shameful,” according to The Telegraph.


Members of parliament from across the political spectrum were forceful in their rebuke of Biden.

“The American decision to withdraw was not just a mistake — it was an avoidable mistake, from President Trump’s flawed deal with the Taliban to President Biden’s decision to proceed, and to proceed in such a disastrous way,” Liberal Democrat Leader Sir Ed Davey said.


Other liberal members of parliament, including Labour Leader Sir Keir Starmer and Labour MPs Chris Bryant and Khalid Mahmood, denounced the president as well.

“The Biden government have just come in and, without looking at what is happening on the ground, have taken a unilateral decision, throwing us and everybody else to the fire,” Mahmood said.
