Antony Blinken insisted Sunday the scene in Afghanistan is not comparable to the fall of Saigon as he diverted blame for the Taliban take over on Trump, Republicans and Afghan security forces. The Secretary of State said the images emerging from Afghanistan, including personnel being airlifted out of the embassy in Kabul, is 'standard operating procedure'.'This is being done in a very deliberate way. It's being done in an orderly way. And it's being done with American forces there to make sure we can do it in a safe way,' he said in an interview with ABC News' This Week on Sunday morning.

So he 'rejects' it. Apparently like the entire Zhou Bai Den administration rejects reality, as shown by their constant screwups and 'miscalculations' and 'unexpected' events - that any non-leftard educated 30 y.o. could tell them would happen.

Everyone though State was a disaster under PIAPS. That drunken whore stole, lied and got troops and diplomats killed.
This PoS is so militantly stupid that he will make her look like a breath of fresh air. He is directly responsible for having to commit troops to evacuate the Embassy as an emergency, by failing to formulate a withdrawal of people and documents months ago. Now, we have to risk even more US troops in a rear guard action covering the posterior of this jackass.
The entire State Dept. leadership must pay for this. Resignation is not enough. All that had anything to do with this debacle should see prison. Their actions are criminal.

Now I remember where I’ve heard that name before. He’s from the team of Winken, Blinken, and Nod. Winken is, of course VP Harris, and Nod is clearly Biden. Explains a lot doesn’t it?

‘Your words bounce off me and stick to you,’ The SickandHairy of State said.
‘My job is to write op-eds supporting the dim propaganda machine. It’s not my fault if a few soldiers get what they had coming.’
With that he spun on his heel and went to get apps at a dim fundraiser.

Blinken would have been 12 or 13 when Saigon fell.
Is anyone else sick of fake experts?

Tony, your boss said they could defend their country. Was he lying or just incompetent?

When we evacuated Saigon, we were at least somewhat prepared. We didn't know when the inevitable would happen, but we had assets in place (most of the Seventh Fleet - I was on USS MOUNT VERNON). What's happening now is like watching the Keystone Cops. Every previous administration and this one have some responsibility. Were there no contingency plans for this? Did we not learn from Vietnam?

Blinken, like Gen. Milley (who made a similar comment) are both idiots who have clearly risen to positions where their incompetence gets to shine. Blinken, Biden, and Gen Milley all share responsibility for this debacle. Of course, they will all blame Donald Trump.
