Biden rejected comparisons to the U.S. departure from South Vietnam at the end of the Vietnam War.“The Taliban is not the North Vietnamese army. They’re not — they’re not remotely comparable in terms of capability. There’s going to be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of a embassy of the United States from Afghanistan. It is not at all comparable,” he said.

'No obligation': Joe Biden opposed helping South Vietnamsese reach U.S.

Days after The Washington Post, in an editorial about President Joe Biden’s Afghanistan policy, editorialized that “tragedy appears to be unfolding more quickly than even many of the pessimists imagined,” Taliban troops cemented their hold on the deteriorating nation.

The Taliban on Thursday seized an Afghan border crossing with Iran, according to The Associated Press, which cited reports it received from an Afghan official and Iranian media.

The seizure was the fifth border crossing to fall under Taliban control in the past week, Reuters reported. Borders with Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, China and Pakistan are now controlled by the Taliban.

    W's big mistake was in not nuking the shit out of them back in 2001 and telling the rest of the mudslime world that we had had enough and the era of proportional response was over and that any further attacks would see the creation of more glass covered parking lots.

  2. "There’s going to be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of a embassy of the United States from Afghanistan. It is not at all comparable."
