He's right in that the NVA was a lot bigger (though not by as much as you might think) than the Taliban. Plus they had jets and shit. But yeah, it appears the Taliban is right there in terms of ability to take over a country, and quick. It's a pretty dumb statement.

I have to admit that I’m surprised how fast the Taliban have been able to retake so much territory without masks and booster shots.

This is your first post without an (attempted) humorous anecdote regarding you kids in like 5 years.

Here’s a text I sent earlier

You’re a good dad.  If you were a random dad at my kids school, I’d still be that annoyed and aloof dad that keeps looking at his phone, but at some point I’d probably engage in mundane chit chat that would progress to me sharing racist gifs I saw on here.  Then we’d get hammered at a school event that wasn’t supposed to have alcohol.  After that we’d be dad besties.

Try being the 57 yr old white dude when all the other dads are 30 something Filipinos who hate that they have a Masters and work 60 hours a week but I still make twice what they do and set my own hours

Taliban insurgents take Kandahar, Herat as US plans to evacuate Americans from embassy in Kabul

Biden's Taliban takeover 'highly unlikely' statement coming back to haunt him. See how they've surged since then

And yet, it was money well spent compared to the $88 billion we spent on some crazy train.

Get our 4,000 embassy people out of there immediately!

I don't want to see the spectacle of our citizens paraded through the streets of Kabul and then horribly executed. The Taliban are straight from hell.

$88 billion seems low for some reason.

Where is the UN in all this?

Taliban destroying historical sites and doing who knows what terrorizing these cities

We spent several trillion on our own miltary operations there.

But yes, $88 billion seems low.

I would have loved to see Monument Valley.   But alas it's no more.

Republicans who were giving Biden credit for this are now 'testing the fences' to see where they can safely criticize him.

[tdawg87]

20 years of fighting the Taliban. 20 years, and they take back the country in a matter of weeks.

Shows just how pointless this "war" was.
