Not to mention withdrawing our troops and abandoning our Afghan government allies THEN after the Taliban take control be like "Oh yeah...we have civilians and embassy staff still in the country, maybe we should evacuate them now?" And there are reports out that the Taliban have now set up roadblocks and are preventing people from getting to the airport, gee who could have seen that coming?

What an absolute shitshow. But hey at least Solkern is focusing on the important issue here, and that is Biden just said it was "highly unlikely" the Taliban would take over and never used the word "impossible."
