Well it's kinda right that if failed to transfer the equipment to US then should destroy/bomb them. Otherwise it's a huge amount of money for Taliban sell them in black market especially something like helicopter .

Of course, but it's sort of nonsense to first go all-in on 'we have to get out' and now that that happened under his successor, it's all-in on 'BUT if this or that, we have to go in!'. 

 

I know it's of course just Trump doing his usual U-turns to play his games, so it'd be perfectly normal for him, but still.

Trump doing U-turns is just a typical reflection of 2-party political system in US. I mean it's not a personal Trump stuff, it may apply to every GOP member. What else you may expect him to say like "Thanks my successor to fulfill my to-do list and take the blame I deserved"? Hell no. GOP will only take advantage of this chaos as an opportunity to affect midterm elections. It's just very pure politics.

I'll assume you haven't seen Another Round then...

 

Most politicans are permanently drunk as it is.

It's scary how France has daily riots for all kinds of protests and issues. I hope it gets better there soon. Is their next election this year already?

Our election is next year, as usual candidates are being drama queens. I won't vote for the incumbent (pro-China) and the opposition (pro-USA). Both don't really care about human rights and are corrupt. While it's stll early, none of the presidential and vice-presidential hopefuls are promising in my opinion.

I mean it's France, I get worried when there aren't riots.

The FBI protected a molester, Simone and the other victims don't deserve this. FBI is a rotten institution.

President Vladimir Putin will attend the Beijing Olympics thanks to President Xi Jinping's invitation.  

 

It's great to see that a developing nation like China will get a visit from a president of a superpower country.

A new security alliance between Australia, UK and the US, 'AUKUS' is the acronym. This effectively allows Australia to build its own Nuclear powered subs. Which has angered France as they lost a 60bn dollar deal to build diesel powered subs but Australia has canned it. Let's also be honest its also to combat China in the Indo Pacific.
