RT @adriang86518036: I said it before and I’ll say it again, Joe Biden is worse than Trump. He’s worse because he uses “progressive” Jargon… — PolitiTweet.org

My tweet from 6 weeks ago that Afghan forces would run instead of fight #Taliban and that US forces would be required was my assessment having been to #Afghanistan. Any analyst who had been there knew it. The administration was told this. A policy decision, not an intel failure. https://t.co/O11luEUfZD — PolitiTweet.org

After firing their guns in the air and slapping each other on the back for two days, the #Taliban suddenly realize they don't actually know how to run the government and ask everyone to return to work. #Afghanistan #Kabul #TalibanTakeover https://t.co/j2YKtalYCW — PolitiTweet.org

I still believe we should remain in #Afghanistan, but it was refreshing to hear a president who truly believes in his decision, takes responsibility for it, made it for the right reasons, and clearly explained those reasons to the country. #Biden #BidenSpeech #Kabul #Taliban — PolitiTweet.org

When metaphor becomes reality. For comparison, during the Saigon Airlift in #Vietnam, empty helicopters were pushed overboard by the US Navy to make room on ships so they could save more refugees. #Afghanistan #Taliban #Kabul #KabulAirport https://t.co/a0gfXvpFlJ — PolitiTweet.org

We didn't need an "exit strategy" because we didn't need to exit. We have 35k troops in #Germany, 28k in #Korea. We maintained #Afghanistan with only 3k. Low cost and risk. This was a base for military operations bordering #Iran, #China and #Pakistan. The deal of a century. https://t.co/Ixpc3fSeWf — PolitiTweet.org

President Ashraf Ghani has fled #Afghanistan. No country should give him refuge. He should be ordered back to Afghanistan to share in the fate of the Afghan men, women, and children he failed. Elections have consequences. #Kabul #Taliban #AfghanistanBurning #AshrafGhani — PolitiTweet.org

100% correct. "The unmitigated disaster in #Afghanistan — the shameful, Saigon-like abandonment of #Kabul, the brutalization of Afghan women, and the slaughter of our allies — is the predictable outcome of the Trump-Biden doctrine of weakness." #Taliban https://t.co/JJTW41VvWh — PolitiTweet.org

Didn't anybody at the @WhiteHouse see this video? If they had, it would have been painfully obvious that any #Afghanistan withdrawal strategy that relied on Afghan forces fighting the #Taliban would be a disaster. #Kabul #Kandahar https://t.co/Fh54bIV4Rq — PolitiTweet.org

Despite every opportunity to avoid it, the government has managed to give my generation its own #Vietnam. As if the national debt, wealth gap, income disparity, 2008 Financial Crisis, War on Drugs, and unresolved racial strife weren't enough. #Afghanistan #Taliban — PolitiTweet.org

Encouraging #women in #Afghanistan to embrace freedom, rights, education, careers, and dreams for 20 years, then abandoning them so they lose it all and are killed, forcibly married, or rarely leave the house again because of the #Taliban, is an especially cruel form of betrayal. — PolitiTweet.org

The countdown to our Fall of Saigon moment in #Afghanistan has begun. And just like #Vietnam, we'll leave behind thousands who put their fate in our hands. They'll now be slaughtered by the #Taliban. Good luck winning hearts and minds next time around. https://t.co/xsvymfouha — PolitiTweet.org

No, this was 100% predictable by anyone who has been to #Afghanistan, and especially those of us who saw the Afghan army in action. Analysts are spending too much time in their cubicles and need to get on the ground more. No surprises here. #Taliban https://t.co/FBIx7rNC2p — PolitiTweet.org

Why is anyone surprised that #Trump raised the national debt by a staggering $8 trillion? His companies declared bankruptcy 6 times. He has called himself "The King of Debt." You knew this before the election. How can you act concerned now about spending and national debt? — PolitiTweet.org

#Afghanistan continues to fall to the #Taliban. Two provincial capitals captured in two days. Afghan army often flees without firing a shot. An entirely predictable outcome, like #ISIS victories in #Iraq after the US withdrawal. History repeats itself. https://t.co/rniqskVHGW — PolitiTweet.org
