Is it just me, or are there similarities between the fall of Afghanistan and the Jan. 6 insurrection? Seeing the Taliban holding rifles while manning formerly held Afghan government chambers was eerily similar to our Jan. 6 insurrectionists holding hand held weapons (poles, etc.) instead of rifles.
And hearing President Biden saying “things unfolded more quickly than anticipated” is eerily similar to remarks about the unpreparedness of the Capitol police prior to and during the Jan. 6 insurrection.
In Afghanistan, masses of people are now trying to leave a repressive Taliban regime, while in America, a repressive mob was trying to force our president to leave. Thank goodness America survived the insurrection and preserved our democratic republic.
