The lobbying for his animals to leave has been distasteful given the many people who will be left behindPen Farthing (the guy who runs the animal charity) was just on BBC news from Kabul. None of his staff can now leave, let alone his animals. He's allowed to as he's white. He was pretty harsh on Biden, to say the least. These poor people.

All this “Shocking” & “Tragedy” commentary……it’s all entirely predictable. Why is anyone surprised about events of the last few weeks. It was never going to end well.

As an aside, Chomsky makes the convincing case that the US war in Vietnam was not a "failed venture" but a success - the US successfully stamped out the spread of Communism in this corner of SE Asia - primary objective achieved.I just think seeing parallels between the Vietnamese Communist-led national liberation struggle and the recent Taliban takeover, even in matters of postwar retribution, is wrong. I see how it's tempting, despite the historical specificities, and given its the latest example of the awesome military power of the United States leaving behind another failed venture.
