In his first remarks as president overseas, Joe Biden attempted to send a message to the rest of the world: America will resume its leadership role, recommit to global alliances and push democracy over the rise of authoritarianism.
“At every point along the way, we are going to make it clear that the United States is back and the democracies of the world are standing together to tackle the toughest challenges and issues that matter most to our future,” Biden said.
Biden’s statement that he has seen ‘no question of our credibility from our allies’ has said allies furious. Every NATO country has people trapped in Afghanistan and they tend to be trust fund babies or friends of trust fund babies. Every prime minister’s phone is blowing up with VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE asking how they’re going to get their kids or their kids’ friends out of Afghanistan and every ally is blowing up the phones of the White House and State Department and getting jack shit from them.
And they’re all blaming ‘America’ but they also know it’s on Biden.
Somebody can probably get an at least ‘off the record’ statement on this from just about any embassy in NATO.
Furious doesn’t cover it.
I don’t understand. This was the President they wanted, yes?
Update: The smartest people in the room…

Yes.
The president that the democrat communists wanted in order to complete the destruction of America, hence the massive electoral fraud that everyone keeps trying to keep in a box.
Could this be the diversion? Obama and crew are quite cynical enough.
Hmmm. Pulling the military first…
Who could have forecast that as a problem?
Politicians tend to NOT listen anymore as their own political needs and global problems are more important.
Nuck FATO, … They made their Biden bed. Now lie in the mess, assholes.
I’ve got my popcorn
Never fear Hilliary is stepping into the breach with Susan Rice and Obama’s crack Benghazi extraction team.
BTW whatever happened to Huma Abedin and Hilliary’s computer?
Huma is still around with Hillary I believe, I think I saw a photo of them together recently.
Everyone has an opinion as to why the Biden and his admin are failing so badly at every single thing. It’s impossible to know. Joseph Bidenette was proven to be three things before he was “elected.”
1) Corrupt enough to be a politician for 5 decades and use his drug addled son as his bagman.
2) Mentally incapable due to stupidity, Alzheimer’s, dementia, or some combination.
3) A pawn of some unholy alliance with any number of actors, including Obama, Rice, Blinken, the Squad, and several three letter agencies.
I can’t sort it out, but it’s not going to end well.
The corrupt cluster clown is surely bagging some cash; for this beyond FUBAR screw up is so epic somebody has to be paying for it.
“Never let an orchestrated crisis go to waste!” etc, etc…
Depopulation via a “gentler Taliban” only means they don’t torture you, before they shoot you.
Followed by gaslighting via the Taliban…”Oh no there’s no murder going on there.”
Biden’s orthogonal world in another galaxy far far away. 🙂
A perfect illustration of Reagan’s dictum of the words you never want to hear at your door:
“Hi I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”
Of course they are there to help…to help THEMSELVES!

Five decades of being in a position where his actions could always have an excuse and ability to say it was an executive decision that was ultimately responsible when shtf, and claiming all the glory when things went well.
But now he’s at the top of the food chain where if things go right he has to attribute the success to the court followers doing what he did for half a century, and inevitably taking the blame when things go horribly wrong.
They now have their excuse to remove the old fool by whatever method does so to their schedule.
He is just the shmuck that didn’t realize he was just a useful idiot all along.
He’s the fall guy for something else.
Tucker touched on something and I want to know if I have it straight. Absolutely everyone on the left has suddenly abandoned Biden, and it’s over an ‘issue’ that the left doesn’t normally give a shift about. What’s going on?
We all knew he was the dementia addled puppet they wanted in there, and could control (1 trillion? 5 trillion? Where should I sign?), and knew as well that he’d collapse.
Is there a chance that what he spoke this afternoon is exactly the information he was given, and meanwhile everyone else concerned portrayed shock and immediately contradicted him? Is poor dementia Biden being set up for a fall? I hate to feel for the guy, ’cause he’s clearly an asshole for how he’s treated his own children and made millions from Communist China, but I think he’s being fed false information deliberately.
‘Filthy Knees’ Harris is absent and is soon to take over. What the Loony Left knows now is that she’s an unabashed idiot. She’s the right colour, and has boobs, but she’s even worse than they could have possibly imagined. She might very well be in danger herself. Bill’s wife is still alive…

As some one else surmised , Hillary as VP, then 25th Harris, and bingo, president Hillary?
Johnson, Unfortunately, your premise has a nasty ring of truth attached to it, and I wouldn’t put it past the Hilary witch and her deep state cabal to orchestrate something like this. One item I’m not yet figuring is that witch would not like to let the other witch (Harris) become the first US female president, and steal that historical thunder from her, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there is some other chicanery afoot as well.
Girl fights can get very ugly.
I always think of Obama, Hillary, Kerry and co. in the corner plotting.
I know that many here have abandoned any hope for her, but…
https://youtu.be/16_YskdLFzQ
It is not her points about “the elite” that I wish to highlight. It is her derisive tone as she speaks of America attempting to spread “democracy.”
You can’t. If these countries want it, they are going to have evolve into it themselves. True democracy, the kind that has not been seen much around here, involves grassroot bottom to top directives. Attempting to impose from the top down is the exact opposite, and has once again failed spectacularly.
Lefties don’t get that, and never will.
You think that 15 seconds inside a voting booth are going to undo 7 centuries of tribal bloodshed? Think again. If you really believe your mantras about “all cultures being equal” then leave them be. You can’t have it both ways.
I think her treatment by the Dementocrat Party in the primaries woke her up.
Democrats arguing for democracy while claiming that the elected representatives of each state may not regulate abortion, define marriage, or define residency requirements to collect welfare do not have a clue what that words means.
Things will get worse before they get better – and they likely won’t get better.
“Rise & Fall” an’ all that.
I hesitate to say ‘self inflicted wounds’, but hey, I’ll say it anyway…..and it’s not just the US, it’s the Western World in general.
What are these trust fund babies doing in Afghanistan at this late date anyway?
Gee it sure would be terrible if these rich leftists couldn’t get out and ended up as bacha bazi buttboys for some Afghan warlords.
The Taliban should shell Kabul airport’s single runway ASAP.
Was thinking exactly the same thing. Could ridding the world of a few thousand “trust fund babies” whose thinking is ably demonstrated by being in Afghanistan in the first place, be anything but a positive for humanity? Not only are we rid of these useless idiots, but their potential offspring as well.
Glassify the place known as Kabul. Give them 24 hours to get out. Retake and defend Bagram air base as mop up base.

We are back.
Depends.
Again, there are parallels with the Idiots of the Great Frozen Turd-le Island led by Fidel Weirdeau.
The arrogant Democrats replaced evil Trump and they replaced evil Harper. Both groups of replacements think their shit don’t stink, that they’re the smartest people in the room and get exasperated if you dare question them…their first statements on any revelations are automatically lies and the people in the background are evil & corrupt and need to be charged with treason.
That’ll teach them to support an election thief.
Completely unrelated, but related to the clot shot:

I predict that Biden will pass away in his sleep within the next 6 months. It of course will be from natural causes…wink.. wink…nudge……nudge. The Clintons will be all over this one…Steve O
Are you suggesting Arkencide?

Nothing went wrong in Afghanistan.
It’s going exactly as planned.

I have said much the same thing for a very long time now. I am sure no one bothers to quote me.
That’s the trouble. There are very few of us clear thinkers left … and our considerable modesty is an impediment to the proliferation of our great ideas. 🙂
Heh heh.
I’m quite sure if I quoted you in public, I’d be arrested.
Your unquoteable in today’s society my man.
I do enjoy your quotes, banter and opinions!
Unlike Trudeau, who needs his ego boosted by buying it and is an asshole…
I am thankful to call you a kindred friend.
Thanks.
People should always get what they vote for. We had the Southern border under control, we were energy self sufficient, I’m pretty sure we had the withdrawal from our Middle East folly in place and reasonably well organized, and the bottom 20% of of wage makers lot was improving. So we voted to reverse course. And all you suburbanites who voted for Biden are going to get what you voted for.
The majority did not vote for that though……
Brain Worms? That’s an insult to brain worms.
I’m not seeing how or why, but perhaps more chaos, failure, and death than there already is meets some objective of the woke liberal progressive crowd?
I dunno, regular Americans over there don’t matter, too many troops have died in that shithole, they wouldn’t care about regular contractors either.
But that guy’s point about wealthy trust fund babies who plug themselves in to some of the best graft and corruption on the planet for a couple of years is interesting, get a bunch of them slaughtered and America will be isolationist for generations. Families of the trust fund babies own media and politicians, they can keep America down.
What is wrong with right-wingers? Why can’t you all get it through your heads?
It’s not incompetence. It’s not brain worms.
IT IS INTENTIONAL.
The transnational progressive Left is dedicated to the destruction of the nation-state global order, with America being their primary target. American leftists seek to destroy the United States from within.
ALL of these actions are clearly rational — if not brilliant — once you finally take these people at their word and stop projecting your own axiomatic beliefs on to them. They want you dead or in prison. Stop trying to understand them using your own standards for rationality and decency. Instead, get a gun.
Bruce Springsteen told Rolling Stone magazine, “I think if we get Joe Biden, it’s gonna go a long way towards helping us regain our status around the world.”
Status: Born To Run?
Maybe, to paraphrase one of his songs, Bored With the USA.
Tucker Carlson who’s only slightly more cynical than me says something else is going on by the way the media is behaving towards Biden. And with the precision of a Swiss watch have all done a complete 180 and now have the knives out for him.
Don’t trust the media. They’re greasing the skids I’ll bet.
The Western Nations currently is in a ‘Leadership Vacuum’ where they have follow each other with no clear direction.
Any Enemies should take full advantage of this as by the time they discuss and try to act, days, weeks, or months could pass.
As we currently see with the fake ‘Pandemic’ and ‘Afghanistan Crisis’.
But you still have to take this vaccination and global warming is going to kill us all, ya racist bastards…
Give me a break from this idiocy.
Buffalos going over the ridge.
I read a lot of books by Dervla Murphy, a tough-as-nails Irish travel writer, who has travelled around some of the roughest places in the world, sometimes by bicycle.
In one book she was bicycling around Africa and was sitting at a shed at the side of the road drinking beer with some old local men. Expensive SUVs would roar by, with NGO or UN people inside, kicking up dust, she asked the old men what they thought about those people.

Contractors have been saying something similar for decades – about professional firefighters. Crickets from CRA.
Pretty clear they’ll bring in ubi after the election. Oh tool already talked about a similar program involving Tim Hortons gift cards.
Remember, we’re all racists, especially if we’re white, male and heterosexual, worse yet, unvaccinated or gasp, Conservative.
It’s better if you don’t travel or work anywhere. It can’t be helped you lose your freedom, not due to edicts, but you being you.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen so many Canadians so satiated by intolerance, all with the approval of their conscience.
Statists are progressives who’s goals and practices are out of alignment with the political cultures of the USA and Canada.
For now. All they need is a few crises to anoint collectivism over individualism. Buckle up for climate change “lockdowns.”
That is why they fail at the affairs of state. Their eye is not on that ball. Personal aggrandizement and power are their focus.
If you protest, they view you from their lens, contrary opinions highly inconvenient, so just the purview of flawed character.
Or perhaps mental illness. The Sovietization of our society is accelerating faster than space time, the big crunch inevitable.
The Road to Serfdom is fueled by the Fatal Conceit of the Intellectuals of Socialism and their Collectivist Economic Planning.

I wonder how many of these “Americans” and other foreign nationals are simply Afghan nationals who have been able, over the last 20-years, to acquire or buy their passports to become dual citizens, never having actually set foot in America or any other country. They were likely part of the corrupt Afghan government, and had what they thought was an “insurance policy” with the dual citizenship passport. No wonder they are panicking to get out.
