Washington Post: Afghan chaos leads to resignations and reshuffling — in Europe, but not in Washington
After a majority of the Dutch parliament affirmed this week that the government had mishandled evacuations from Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover, Sigrid Kaag said she had only one option: resign as foreign minister.
“Although I stand by our commitment, I can only accept the consequences of this judgment as the minister with ultimate responsibility,” Kaag said in a statement released Thursday.
On Friday, Kaag was followed by another member of the Dutch cabinet, Ank Bijleveld. The defense minister released her own statement of resignation, noting that she could “no longer adequately take responsibility for my people” amid the criticism.
The moves in the Netherlands are another sign of how the collapse of the Afghan government, preceded by the Biden administration’s decision to withdraw all remaining U.S. troops from the country, appears to be causing more disruption in European capitals than in Washington.

What is it with all the female defense ministers in Europe, no wonder they are cuckcolds
It's definitely a thing over there sadly.
We're screwed. Unlike Obama's, the media held the Trump administration to the fire over virtually every tiny misstep that it could possibly find an excuse to label as such. And here we are again, another liberal administration, another four years of media cover-ups and voter ambivalence.
@ 2:39: Well, the media ARE criticising the disasterous withdrawl, but it's scripted. No answers will be forthcoming and soon the story will burn itself out and become old news. Then it's time to look for other stories to keep the sheep preoccupied.
