Joey was actually nodding off. Poor chap. He simply hadn’t had his nap. Really needed to speed this up.

the great countries have to stop killing in the world.

He knows this kind of loss. 😞

Sleepy Joe made America dead again ..

That’s the result of sleeping with terrorists like you are sleeping with bokoharam in Nigeria right now. Do the needful right now in Nigeria and save lives before it becomes another Afghanistan so the world can be a better place

He would have hung it forward in shame.

This is news?

No more 13?

Grief.

We want George W Bush back. Strong America

He was asleep

Is this gesture useful?

Why does the picture appear altered? Zooming in shows something that doesn't look right.

Quite normal, especially in from of young soldiers who have the age of Joe Biden's son ! This is a human being common sense. Once again, President Biden isn't responsible of what happened in Afghanistan, he's managing a continuity created by his predecessor.

Why is that even a sentence you would write to report this?

Those deaths are his fault, he must resign!

sorry guys

Michael Waltz warns of consequences after 'Biden gave all of our bases away' in Afghanistan'Al-Qaeda is going to grow back and they are going to attack the West again,' the Florida Republican congressman warned. And if they do, they will pay. But that wouldn't require a 20 year occupation. It's foolish for Trumplicans to use Afghanistan as a political football because it's looking more and more like Trump ceded Afghanistan over to the Taliban. Trump said he trusted the Taliban and 'Mr. Art of the Deal' cut a deal with the Taliban and set the wheels into motion. It doesn’t take a brainiac to say that.
