Genius move trying to deflect blame to the guy Biden is willing to pit the "free world" against the ICC for, after sending him weapons in bulk every other day.

Fr, I'm wondering if Blue Dog liberals will ever come to understand that treating the people they are trying to "win over" like imbeciles who don't have access to a 24/7 news stream through the tiny computer in their pocket isn't "the strategy".

From what I remember leftists were pretty much the only ones defending Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan. Take it up with NPR, libs.

Absolutely correct.

Trump types were split over giving Trump his credit, which he deserves for starting the process, but he also chickened out. And whining about "America looking weak" as if a 20 year extended military loss can ever look good for a superpower...

Libs "supported withdrawal" but the "optics" were bad. Again, as if optics can be "good" when losing a 20 year war.

I know my bias is towards ending American imperialism, so from my viewpoint, it didn't look bad enough. Plus Biden's state dept made sure to do some war crimes on the way out the door by yoinking Afghanistan's cash. Oddly, the liberals didn't seem concerned at all about children and other innocents being by that act of collective punishment (clearly defined war crime) but that pic of a helicopter taking off with some resemblance to Vietnam was "disgraceful." Starving kids on the way out... fine. Poorly planned helicopter escape... second 9/11

yoinking Afghanistan's cash

At the worst time too; Afghanistan had just had an earthquake and the money would've helped. Afghans were selling organs to take care of their families, mothers were trying to give away (sell?) some of their children to good homes. Of course liberals have zero clue because they have zero care.

The great irony, that they love to talk about "the holodmor" when it's actually their system that created a punitive famine set into motion by a head of state named Joe.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
