I think many feel exactly the same. People get so worked up about minor inconsequential things on twitter but shrug their shoulders at children on the other side of the world being captured to be abused.

I haven't been able to switch off the live pictures today with all the helicopters evacuating people
This is whats done me 💔

A whole lot of Taqiyah going on here that's for sure. Whoever does not agree stand true to your convictions. However I've noticed that tattle is not the place where it's ready to hear a non liberal view. One way ticket to getting your account banned. It's a place to pretend that you can have a discussion with disagreement (just ignore who makes you upset) but no, the majority opinion rules. As long as they can call you the R word along with other names to shut down your opinion. Although you are a VIP member it might work differently for you 😉
There’s tons of places on here that doesn’t have a liberal viewpoint.

From the other footage they seemed to have just been left on the side of the street
That’s horrendous. They are going to suffer so much. They always seem to show footage of men escaping or men on boats and I always wonder where the women are or if they can’t film them. Because the women are always the ones who suffer the most in these situations.

Biden is a joke and can be held FULLY responsible for what has now occurred in Afghanistan.
Several places I've heard that there were only 8'000 troops still there. Seems like such small change and would have saved money keeping them there for years/decades to come to keep things contained for longer as apposed to the emergency stuff happening now.

I wonder how he'll deflect, blame the Afghan army?

Yeah, looks like someone bitter trolling.

We had no reason to be there in the first place, nor did we have a reason to be in Iraq. We need to stop clinging onto the United States legs whilst they go and do Israels dirty work

What a mess. A harrowing, heartbreaking mess. Boris Johnson stating that the British troops that lost theirs lives over there during service did not “die in vain”. Just insulting.

'Biden to speak amid near universal criticism of U.S policy.'

A bit late for that now. The damage has been done. The Biden PR machine is now in overdrive, trying to downplay his utter stupidity.

Not sure what he is hoping to achieve, other than come across as an even bigger idiot, than he has already shown he is.

I’m sorry to sound so ignorant but I really don’t understand how the Taliban have armed themselves with (as has been reported by PA) Russian and US made weapons and helicopters. How are they getting them? Who’s bankrolling them?

I know there’s a complex history in Afghanistan but I’m keen to read credible long reads if anyone knows any. I can’t get my head around the pace with which this has all happened. Surely the intelligence agencies would have known this was coming? If not, its a depressing indictment of how badly they understand the Taliban and how they operate.

And people keep forgetting it was the Labour party that sent us there in the first place 🙄

Haven't they 'seconded' (pinched) the equipment given to the Afghan Army?

I can’t help but think this too. It just seems yet another horrible example of Western rivalries imposing/meddling in an already volatile region for which it has little to no understanding - and innocents end up dying.

That would make sense. But what about before that? Illegally gained, perhaps?

Indeed, both of the main parties here and in the U.S are just two sides of the same coin.

They put on a good front of being different from each other, but in the end they are both marionettes under the control of the same banks and corporations.

They only exist to fulfil their masters orders and give the public the illusion that their votes mattered and the party they chose is in power.

I think Iran have history of arming terrorist groups in the region… definitely were involved in Syria, it’s not a leap to imagine they have an interest in Afghanistan too

Possibly over the borders training in other countries, Pakistan had Osama Bin Laden and I highly doubt their security services didn't know he was there.

Where is Tony?
Yeah that toad has crawled back under his rock after being vocal quite recently.

Effectively just picked everything up where the Afghan Nation Army guys left it!

The bigger smarter newer helicopters almost certainly have remote kill switches to disable them.

Exactly this. Thank you ☺ I read a brilliant book a while ago, by Tim Marshall, which explains how politics is bound up in geography and it helped explain the Afghan issue (in part).

His son was on the radio last week promoting his company that's about getting people apprenticeships rather than going to uni 🙄

Strange Tony is so quiet when usually you can't shut him up for offering his sage advise
