Not long now before we start seeing or hearing of the beheadings of those innocents who have been trapped. Be it Afghan, British or American. The world is a scary place.
I was hoping we’d see a different Taliban this time, perhaps naively, but now they are reportedly telling women to stay indoors (supposedly for their own safety, yeah ok) and are talking of stopping people from going to the airport I think my hope may have been in vain and you could be right. Still, there’s a danger of overthinking and you never know, they could still come relatively good |

There are enough reports of Taliban hunting for 'collaborators of the west' to think their promise of no reprisals may be a thinly veiled attempt to appease the west.

Looks like Joe fucked up. The yanks are developing a bit of a habit of abandoning their allies.

Biden is a face. Wouldn’t surprise me if he is a spokesperson for Harris or Obama. |

Oh Trump is far from done and will most certainly run again. I think he will succeed as well. Biden is an embarrassment to the States and speaking to friends I’ve met in Texas - the confidence in him simply does not exist. I am not overtly a fan of Boris or Kier but I would rather one of them than sleepy’ ol Joe who is running the States into the ground. |

I wonder if there was ever a time the vast majority firmly supported whoever was in power in the UK (and US). Seems like whoever gets the job is instantly slaughtered throughout their time in office especially by people that voted them in.
Anyway, I hope we look after our own and leave the Americans to it over there. Biden has made it clear he's not bothered about any other nation but his own, and even then some Americans will end up stranded.
Sleepy Joe walking away without answering any questions will be a poignant image throughout and after his tenure. Nothing presidential about that man, and is far more dangerous for the world than Trump was.
