The Taliban in Afghanistan have been taking back territory and attacking U.S. allied forces ever since the U.S. military began a withdrawal. On July 8th Joe Biden was asked if the U.S. embassy in Kabul would be evacuated giving a familiar reference to the U.S. collapse in Vietnam. In July he said no. Biden was leaving 650 military personnel in Kabul to guard the embassy and diplomats.
Two days ago Biden announced sending 3,000 U.S. troops to begin the embassy evacuation. That is correct. Biden is sending 3,000 soldiers back to Afghanistan to help evacuate Americans. Another 3,500 soldiers will be on standby. Biden is sending more soldiers back to Afghanistan than the 2,500 he withdrew to begin with.
Considering that Joe Biden has a documented political history of getting everything exactly wrong; meaning the outcomes are exactly the opposite of every contention he has ever made; it is worth noting what Biden claims will not happen – because this is exactly what is likely to happen. WATCH:
As if on cue from divine or karmic providence, exactly what Joe Biden said in July would not occur, is exactly what is occurring in August…. Afghanistan’s second and third largest cities, Kandahar and Herat, fell to the Taliban on Thursday and Friday.
(CNN) – […] In a statement Friday, the Taliban said they had taken control of the governor’s office, police headquarters, as well as other key operational centers throughout the city of Kandahar. “Hundreds of weapons, vehicles and ammunition were seized,” the Taliban statement said.
Kamin said he and many others had made their way to a military base close to the city’s international airport and were awaiting a flight out. “Many (government) soldiers surrendered and the rest fled,” Kamin said.
Kamin had earlier told CNN that Taliban fighters had been able to break through the city’s frontline and were engaging in sporadic confrontation with government forces.
Kandahar, which lies on the junction of three major highways, is of particular strategic importance and was formerly a major hub for US military operations. Its seizure marks the most significant gain yet for the Taliban.
Elsewhere on Friday, the government lost control of the nearby capital of Urozgan province, Tarin Kot. (read more)
Biden announced the withdrawal of 2,500 troops in April.
In June and July those troops started leaving.
In July Biden swears the embassy in Kabul will not fall.
In August Biden sends 3,000 troops back to Afghanistan.
Watch what happens in Kabul….
We will see helicopters emergency airlifting embassy personnel and rescuing people.
And somehow this is all going to be Trump’s fault.
Biden has lit the whole world on fire. Under Trump there was peace in the Middle East and growing brotherhood (an unheard of opportunity). Biden’s torn everything to shreds in 6 months. We all know none of this would be happening if the political class hadn’t stolen the election. Is this why you stole it, so you could wreck everything? Is that what makes you so smart? Did it ever occur to you that you don’t know everything and that wisdom resides in the public at large?
The political class has caused all of this and all of them have to go.
It was a lost cause from the beginning. Trillions for nothing. Again.
Perfect example of needlessly exhausting our military and its resources. Perhaps the experience gained by our military in dealing with Afghan insurgents can prove useful domestically in the near future. /s
But, but, but … think of all the Pentagon careers it launched and advanced!! Busy work for woke Pentagon careerists.
Sheesh, I’m sounding like a dirty hippie from the 1970’s … now that the dirty hippies from the 70’s are in charge of our military.
Pentagon careers. Speaking of non-essential jobs. /s
Planning more un-winnable Wars
Wasted blood and treasure…same as VietNam.
The Left doesn’t mind
wasting others blood and treasure, as long as it can stash away plenty of treasure for itself and consolidate its power.
Left, right, the Uniparty is greedy. And sadistic. And wasteful of what is valuable
Damn right !
Back in the 1970s, the Collier brothers noted widespread election fraud.
“How lonng… has this been going on…”
The door is now open to a Libertarian Presidential candidate who argues for a huge cutback in American military spending. Watch the phony Left scramble to argue with that.
Surely you jest.
Not nothing, the pockets of many people got bigger.
It was a lost cause because it was meant to be a lost cause. Cover one eye, tie one hand and leg behind you, only fight on Thursday afternoon until dark and see how well thing work out.
Tribalism remains as huge a factor in human relations as ever.
But Hegelians like Obama insist on believing that tribalism is in the rear-view mirror.
I can’t imagine of a person more aware of tribalism than obama. It is how he gained and held onto power – by identity politics (tribalism) and creating divisions where none had existed.
Barack Hussein O even fomented tribal division in his own family: Remember how he insulted his paleface mom Ann Dunbar?
My take on that is that Obama and his handlers want tribalism to return. Nobles and Serfs seem to be the preferred solution for the Globalists.
Its more “vibrant” that way.
Tribalism in the rear view mirror? I thought that bunch CELEBRATED tribalism.
Tribalism is noble, doncha know. Just ask a woke college professor. And so is enslavement, if it is done by one of the preferred groups.
Dishonest as the day is long
I meant that literally. The replies to my post reinforce my point. Americans see racism, they don’t see tribalism.
Oh it wasn’t for nothing, the DC Elites made billions. They are quite happy with themselves. They have no problem sacrificing our young soldiers and taxpayer’s money so long as they are getting their cut.
I heard a Black Sabbath song, when I read your post…
WAR PIGS.!
Or “Monster” by Steppenwolf: “America, where are you now? Don’t you care about your sons and daughters?”
HOW ABOUT THE LIVES OF THOSE LOST, MAIMED, CRIPPLED AND SCARRED – BOTH OUR MILITARY, OUR MILITARY FAMILIES AND FRIENDS AND INNOCENT CIVILIANS TO THE LIKES OF THE TRESONIOUS AND TREASONIOUS AND TRAITORIOUS JOEBAMA, BOTH BUSHES AND THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATIONS FOR BOTH STARTING AND GETTING US INVOLVED IN THEIR NEVER ENDING WARS!! I IMAGINE RINO’S LIZ CHENEY, CRYBABY KINZINGER AND MR DISAPPOINTMENT HIMSELF CRENSHAW!!
I IMAGINE THE LOSER GENERALS AND ADMIRALS SUCH AS MATTES, KELLY, MCRAVEN, MCCRYSTAL, PETREAUS AND THE REST ARE IN THEIR GLORY!!
HOW L9NG BEFORE IBAMA’S RELATIVES START RE BOMBING US HERE ONCE AGAIN A REMINDER OF THE TOTALLY FAILED OBAMA – BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND MANNED BY SUCH LOSER SECRETARY’S OF STATE “KILLIARY” CLINTON “LURCH”KERRY AND LOPK THEY HAVE THEIR OLD SPOKESMAN AT THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE RETIRED ADMIRAL JOHN, SLIMEBALL, KIRBY!!
Cannot agree. This harks back to George Bush. In the quest to get Osama, more military died in last twenty years than on 9/11. 40k+ wounded. What have we gained? Dead Afghans in mud huts and a surveillance apparatus that monitors our movements and commentary.
If after 20 years, our blood and treasure, Afghans cannot figure out how to protect their country then too bad.
No Republican has been allowed to prosecute a war in the last 120 years. George Bush knew about as much as Biden about what was going on around him. He thought everyone wanted freedom like what the USA has. Problem is, most people in the USA have never had any concept of the individual freedom we are supposed to be enjoying. We have just seen our Government pull a pandemic hoax on this nation and most people are still going along with it.
I have a Republican sibling who STILL defends George Bush.
While the media attacks on “Buuushhh!!”during his presidency were often stupid, Bush was also either incompetent or corrupt. The whole mess of DC takes actions that harm the country and the world. Sick of them all
Corrupt more than incompetent. He bit his lip on all the name callling and insults thrown his way because that was his part to play. Quietly handholding with the Clintons should tell ya something, too. Loyal members of the Globalist Uniparty.
Amen, Louis-I commented similarly somewhere above or below you.
I’d give you an upvote but couldn’t make through all the ALL CAPS. Next time write in regular English. WRITING IN ALL CAPS doesn’t make it smarter – it just makes it hard to read.
Normally I would object to all caps. But this is not normal.
Plus a young man of my acquaintance — Afghan, and an honest person, had moved back over there. God help him also
But our ROE spared so many civilian lives.
Oh, wait … those lives are soon to be slaughtered. Esp. if they sent their girls to school.
Those “trillions” (or however much has been spent in the aggregate) went to arms manufacturers, comms manufacturers, suppliers of all types…..all of which resulted in tremendous profits for corporate stockholders – the largest of whom are generally on the Board of Directors or in the top management positions.
I’d be less angry if it was only evil enemy blood being spilled while corporations (& their shareholders) profited, but we know that’s hardly the case. And we know that “profits” are precisely the lens through which the multinational corporate elite look at it.
Don’t forget the banks! They have been responsible for war after war over the centuries
A very lucrative business! ?
You’re right! Banks have actually been at the (black) heart of the immoral push towards globalism for a few centuries.
Good catch
!
”Trillions for nothing, and the illegals are free”
From the group… “We are in Dire Straits”
Untold amounts of blood. Just like Vietnam.
More importantly, the needless and ongoing suffering of our military members whose bodies and minds are damaged forever with no strategic purpose, no benefit to the people of the United States that they selflessly went to serve, and no benefit to the Afghan people, or the world. There is no justice in the world when our “betters” can deliberately cause all of the suffering their depraved desire with the only benefit going to their personal careers and bank accounts, and their friends in defense contracting.
Failure was the goal all along.
You can’t make any money from the US military complex if you win outright and leave.
You have to stay for 20 years and sell US weaponry to every side of every conflict in the Middle East.
JoBama will probably bring a crapload of refugees for us to pay for forever.
What you have to believe to be a radical left wing Democrat
Well said.
Another Vietnam, but probably worse this time.
Way, way, WAAAAAYYYYYYYY worse.
Agreed. The Viet Cong stayed in SE Asia. They did not regard it as a religious duty to export their version of jihad to the rest of the planet.
Everything is pointing to events way, way, way worse.
But, then if one keeps up on Biblical prophecy, hardly unexpected.
About 59,000 US troops died in Viet Nam.
About 2,300 US troops died in Afghanistan.
The American humiliation in Saigon is regarded as a happy event by the Left.
The Left thinks the war between Israel and Iran will be another happy event.
At least the supremely confused secular Jews who finance the anti-semites of BLM will have an epiphany.
A war between Iran and Israel will be a most happy event to the Left should Israel be destroyed and then from the ashes rise as Palestine.
O Happy Day! /s
Don’t count on it. I suspect many of them have started worshiping at the church of Globalist Progressivism.
Supremely confused also means secular Jews still identify as Jewish. Somehow.
Anti-Israel but ridiculously attuned to Anti-Semitism. Somehow.
Conservative Jews are scarce on the ground, but most became Never-Trumpers because nationalism is Nazism. That is the rule they live by. Meanwhile most countries, including China and India, remain very nationalistic. But Trump, with his Jewish son-in-law and right-hand man Kushner, is a Nazi . So weak.
On another thread Sundance posted about a final stage of national disintegration where useful idiots get slaughtered, as they are no longer useful.
As someone with useful idiots in my extended family, here and abroad, this horrifies me… I just wish the useful idiots were as smart as they believe they are
Biden is just the empty suited, and minded, figurehead for his masters who are the ones who wish to rise as the Phoenix from the ashes of the world they set on fire.
The Secretary of Defense and every single member of the Joint Chiefs, along with the in-country and theater commanders should be removed and court martial-ed for dereliction of duty.
As to the commander in thief, may he someday have a very special place in hell.
Once again our nations finest and our blood, sweat and tears wasted.
He’ll be a speck of dust cast into the lake of fire. He and his demonic part won’t matter.
Hear hear!
My dad said when I was a little kid “As soon as we pull out the US marines, everything goes to hell again”. This was 50 years ago. Nothing has changed.
Especially when the demonic globalist cabal steal the American Presidency and put it in the hands of an imbecile who has the wrong idea on very single foreign policy matter in his lifetime…EVERY ONE.
I read this 10 minutes after my wonderful son in law, a Marine, called to tell me he just received a promotion. It makes my blood boil that “the greatest military in the world” could not stop teaching racism and plotting against out military members’ constitutional rights long enough to stage an orderly withdrawal. Of course, they only had 20 years to sort it out, so there’s that.
President Trump had a condition based withdrawal— Obiden not so much.
Dems evidently thrive on chaos.
Just like their master satan.
Absolutely.
Their hero dedicated his book to satan.
Along with John Brennan … another fine Muslim convert
Evil thrives on chaos.
I guess Xiden needs a distraction so he can implement his vax passport and checkpoints.
“Papers, please!” No leaving your home without them.
DJT tried to do it earlier and subversive generals thwarted him. Regardless, it was always going to have the same ending. If they didn’t have it right after 20 years, a few more months didnt matter.
Some places and cultures simply cannot be tamed and westernized. Afghanistan had already proved that before our involvement. Proved to be a profitable move only for our military industrial complex, drug lords and certain well connected politicians….and useful for Iran, China and Rusia.
We trained the Afghan army for 20 years, and they folded in 20 minutes.
Another great investment. Sounds like F-Troop to me.
At least members of F-Troop didn’t go around attacking and killing their mentors and trainers.
Many Afghan troops now may be valuable trained assets for the Taliban, if only at least useful as cannon fodder.
Takes me back to Saigon ’75. It’s deja vu all over again!
When Biden was asked how the current situation in Afghanistan
compares to past events from the Viet Nam War, he said…
‘Can’t we just let Saigons be Saigons’ 🙂
Nah, that comment is Hue, Hue off. /s
HaHa!
That was way back.
*giggle*
But I shouldn’t. As there are thousands of little Afghan elementary school girls who are about to get married-off to Taliban leaders.
Or should I say Tallie-bahn” … like our drooling commander-in-Dementia
The a&&es love to say “Tallie-bahn”. They think it makes them sound smart.
There’s a history of this smugly pronunciation: Barack Hussein Obama spoke of “Pock-E-Stohn”.
I’m not a Paki … and don’t feel the need to mimic a Paki accent. Even IF dementia Joe suggested I need that accent to order a Slurpee.
We had a SJW pastor in pur former church who always pronounced it that way and referred to “Pahkestahn”. As only an SJW would.
And when asked about Beirut, Biden replied “Best damn baseball player ever.”
Biden adding, “I have fond memories of being his batboy”.
Ha! So you’re saying Biden is old?
Wordman will play Straightman…How old is he?
Well, their lives DID overlap.
Yeah but it was followed by a great few years back home, right?
…..
….right??
*crickets*
No problem for our Installed Leader, Fake News will parrot: it is Trump’s fault.
goes without saying.
we should not be surprised if they don’t even broadcast the evacuation footage that has the most visceral effects.
Peppermint Patty is going to be on super spin cycle
Someone needs to tell Peppermint Patty those chunky plastic necklaces went out of fashion 9-10 years ago.
We have to leave. I’m glad we are. I did not want to read about soldiers born after 9/11/2001 dying there. That said, Biden now owns this impending disaster.
The Biden Admin is to busy producing vaxxed video propaganda with Raggedy Ann and BennyDrama to notice whats happening in Afghanistan. Fking embarrassing.
.
They should send him over there so he can get his fingernails dirty . . .
Hey! He wants hands on experience, right?
Perhaps he can do a video from the top of a building…
Perhaps he and his friends can all take a jump.
Don’t forget Sesame Street gender reveals and Batman’s Robin exploring his sexuality comic books.
Frankly, they are much more interested in saving afghans who allegedly gave their all for us, than they are for embassy schmucks.
20 years and billions and trillions flushed down the drain for a country that means nothing. The war are terrorism is as big a scam as Covid.
it paved the way for the surveillance state
When we moved in, the Taliban had the eradicated the poppies. We moved in and rebuilt their cash crops. CIA black opps funding much?
Dubya loved protecting those poppies.
I remember thinking that Dubya would close the borders after we were attacked on 9/11/2001.
Open borders were waaaaaaay more important than getting attacked and losing 3000 American lives.
I used to laugh at the idea that “we allowed” 9/11 to happen. Now I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s true.
Oh, you betcha! The CIA is really self funding through illicit means. It can thrive without taxpayer funding to do its thing.
And now we’ll probably get Afghan refugees in every state.
We can pay for them for the rest of their lives.
They will be a welcome addition to those already established here for sure.
I consider it reverse nation building. Gradually converting the US to their dream of a North American Islamic Caliphate.
You have to understand that the Joebama administration wants it to be a major defeat for the US, just like they want the US to lose in humiliating fashion on every front.
They hate this country and they hate us.
This was not a mistake, this was planned and is a major victory for the people who hate America and hate peace.
See #5 below….. what say you China Joe Xiden?
How do you win friends, influence governments – and eliminate dissent?
In the case of Beijing, Chairman Mao Zedong’s idea of “magic weapons” plays a role.
Specifically – weaponised stories.
“The genius is that these narratives condition us to accept Chinese policies meekly even if they are against our national interests,” argues United States Studies Centre analyst Dr John Lee.
No matter how outlandish any particular claim, argument or quote may be – they must reinforce five essential messages. Simple repetition embeds it in the public consciousness.
1. China is a historically dominant civilisation.
2. The Chinese Communist Party is permanent and unchanging.
3. Nothing can deter Beijing.
4. China is prepared to pay any price to achieve its core objectives.
5. The US is in a terminal state of decline.
“If we accept these propositions, the motivation for regional states to resist or counter even the most coercive policies is greatly diminished even if we profoundly disagree with China’s behaviour,” Dr Lee writes.
from – China already ‘engaging in irregular war’ with US in the ‘grey zone’
Also, they will be happy to get rid of more of the military who patriotic.
Not for nothing -but Kamala was in Vietnam last month promoting “America is Back”….. This installed administration can’t read a room.
I think she meant America is at the back and will stay there.
Fellow Tree Dwellers… I see postings which suggest some are not taking the time to view the Dr Malone talk. Please, please watch this one yourself.
For love of God, Family, Friends, humanity… please share this Dr. Malone video so that it gets into the hands of all whose lives involve our military.
Just like Vietnam.
Missing the elephant in the room—it was always about the poppies.
Chyna makes synthetic now no need for poppies.
Bottom Line – finally … finally … finally … finally getting out of that Mullah’s Hemorrhoid from Hell is a big positive.
Ordering the US Military to finally get out of the Stupid Endless War / Trillion Dollar Bridge to Nowhere (Operation Enduring Insanity) in Afcrapistan is one of the few things Biden (or Obama if the man behind the throne) has ever done right.
As to the grace or ungrace in getting out, that’s up to the US Army’s Generals. We can’t expect Biden to go over there and personally direct traffic. He’d wander off and get lost anyway.
(BTW, Trump ordered them to get out a couple of years ago, but the real insurrectionistss at the Pentagon drug their feet / refused)
Which begs the question: why now?
Qui bono from pulling out of Afghanistan in 2021?
I believe in the law of the conservation of corruption. The scam may be shifting out of Afghanistan, but that only means it is being redirected to a more profitable theater.
From the Endless War in Afcrapistan to the Endless War Against Covid19.
In both cases we are told it is necessary and we are being un-patriotic and endangering our countrymen if we don’t do it. Some people always fall for it.
The Taliban is no longer the enemy of choice, the American people are.
What a nightmare. I wonder if anyone is ever gonna wake up…. like maybe half of the cool aid drinkers? Maybe ?
No they won’t. They are most happy when American is hanging its head in shame.
I have a growing conviction the Cool Aid Crew is evolving from a self-hatred support group into a death cult.
The richest people on earth seem to be leaders and supporters of a death cult.
Historically they like the grape flavor on that side of the aisle.
Just like Jim Jones.
We should left Afghanistan after we got bin Laden, and in reality we should have nuked the three largest cities and had a sale on the resulting glass in October 2001.
The 9/11 attack was planned in Germany by Saudis. The Israelis knew the attack was coming since they had agents following the hijackers for months before the attack. We should have nuked Riyadh and Tel Aviv if we wanted to get those behind the attacks. bin Laden was dead by Jan 1 2002.
Now we are ad nauseam how we must stay and fight them over there so we do not have to fight them over here.
Or how Afghanistan has gobs and gobs of exotic minerals that we can not allow the Chines to get a hold of because…………….. well because.
I read one tear jerker column today where the writer was crying about how now little girls will not be able to go to school in Afghanistan and the infant mortality rate will go down because we are taking our military out.
I am guessing that none of these excuses are swaying the American voters who are sick and tired of throwing money down black holes in third world countries and so very many of us are more than tires of having our young beautiful sons and daughters come back from these places dead in a casket.
For no reason what so ever.
None.
The fact that the Taliban is taking over so quickly after our military has barely lifted the planes off the tarmac makes me wonder what in the Sam Hill were we really doing for the last TWENTY years.
We sure as h*ll were not helping the native Afghans build up their military, what a bunch of wimps to cut and run and leave their own people to these vicious cutthroats.
We have had made so little impression on this country and its culture that all we have done in TWENTY YEARS is wiped out in just a few weeks.
This place needs to blasted and like Hokkoda say then sell the resulting glass to the neighbors.
This is actually much worse than what happened in Vietnam. Our adversaries still feared us after we withdrew from Vietnam. That fear simply doesn’t exist today.
Oh come on now. Surely they have heard how our Army has gone full CRT and full Woke and they have to be shaking in their boots or sandals.
If they are shaking in their boots and sandals it is because of their exhuberant laughing at us.
Also keep in mind how important it is for the Democrats, Neocons, and the rest of the Permanent War Party to be able to claim they were “proven right”.
I expect a lot of Liz Cheney / Willard Romney camera time in the coming weeks.
It will be Dolchstosslegende (Stab in Back) deja vu all over again.
George W. Bush, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinsinger and the Ghost of John McCain are now weeping and inconsolable that we are finally getting out of Afcrapistan.
Don’t leave out McC son’s sister Lindsey.
Young man and his family lived next door, I believe he is an army Lieutenant. He would rotate in and out of Afghanistan. His young bride would be pregnant and sad, young kids fatherless, while he was deployed and for what?
That shi_thole has been a trap for armies going back to Alexander and the moment that they can they will revert back to the 7th century Islam. We were there ostensibly to get rid of Osama Bin Laden, beyond that there’s only blood and sand.
Past time to get out, but it should be done correctly. B-B-B-Biden as never done anything correctly, see Hunter. President Trump is a man that knows how things work and how to get things done correctly. Another ancillary of a stolen election.
“Past time to get out, but it should be done correctly.”
Perzactly.
Your young brave soldiers family was alone and lonely for nothing Stan.
Absolutely nothing.
Hey, somebody was getting $$$$ (just not them)
And doesn’t Uniparty want us to serve their $$$$ needs which are enormous? It takes a lot of money to feed Hunter Biden’s habits
What an utter disgrace.
The disgrace was staying there for 20 years when we should have stayed for about a month bombing all the al Qaeda we could find. But no, George Bush thought Islam is Love, not Hate and had so much to contribute to the world so we had to stay.
You can rejoice all you want. Its a disgrace to America and the lives lost there.
Staying there 20 years instead of a month or so is the disgrace. If we stayed there another 20 years, it would end the same way.
We spent $7 trillion (and thousands of lives and limbs) in the Middle East. What do we have for it? Nothing.
– President Donald J. Trump (around 4 years ago)
Although we have seen stupid haste in war, there has never been a case of a nation benefiting from prolonged warfare.
– Sun Tzu
There is withdrawing and there is withdrawing. Had the Presidency not been stolen we quite likely would have seen a withdrawal – President Trump is not a war monger after all. It would not have been to America’s disgrace. The disgrace is knowing that all those families who lost sons, brothers, husbands, dads are now watching their loved one’s cohorts hang their heads and run out of Afghanistan. THAT is the disgrace. THAT is the pain.
C-130’s dropping 20,000# MOABs in those mountains for about 30 days would have taken everything out. would have lowered the mountain peaks by a few hundred feet or so, as well.
Remember, friends: The origin of this trail of tears was in Camelot, on the desk of Democrat royalty John F. Kennedy.
Better hope and pray that it doesn’t end up being a last minute evacuation like Vietnam. The Taliban have much better weaponry for bringing down all sorts of aircraft than they had back in Vietnam.
There is a great documentary out there called “Last Days in Vietnam.” Highly recommend it.
Operation Frequent Wind did not have to happen. There was ample warning beforehand that evacuation from Saigon would be necessary. Unfortunately, the US Ambassador waited too long because he did not want to give up on the ARVN. By the time he gave authorized evacuation, the planned operation was no longer viable as the main airport quickly came under artillery fire and large passenger jets were no longer an option. This led to the scramble to evacuate by helicopter and boat.
With Saigon, there was a good plan that was thrown away.
With Kabul, I suspect there is a bad plan that will be executed to precision.
Bad planning, if any planning at all, has been the hallmark of the Biden Administration. So far. I sense that will continue to be SOP. Now and forever.
This will negatively effect every ally and increase the number of enemies across the world.
This stupid, stupid action will become destructive very quickly!
As long as the USA changes as hoped for by the Left, an increase of enemies is irrelevant.
Normies don’t care about this sadly.
Trillions for nothing. Somebody from the media likes to make this like Vietnam last days for clicks. Bull$hit from the media.
But, but, but … Diplomacy!!
Where’s Winken, Blinken, and Nod?
In all seriousness, this is EXACTLY the outcome Xiden-Heiress wants. Another domino in HER “Arab Spring” … Another ME country returning to EXTREME Islamist supremacist control.
Just as the Southern border disaster is going EXACTLY to plan … so too is Afghanistan.
EXACTLY according to plan.
SOP. We always leave them for the enemy.
Why can’t we at least put a drone tracker in them before we go.?%
We should take a hammer to each gun left behind. Set fire to all our vehicles. Make a bon fire with our bullets. Leave nothing useful for the enemy to use against us.
Ages ago that is what we would have done. Now we make sure everything left behind is good to go. Vehicles lubed, tuned, gas tanks full, keys in the ignition. Wouldn’t want to leave a bad parting impression on the Afghans. They might think poorly of us. /s
Good for business.
Liz Cheney and Miss Lindsey are planning the invasion of Syria, as we speak.
gotta keep that war racket going
There was once a very short book written in 1935 by former USMC General Smedley Butler called “War is a Racket” based on personal experience and observation while serving as a Marine during the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. The subject matter is still apt today.
This won’t hurt Biden because the Press won’t attack him for it. Otherwise, we survivied the Fall of Saigon, and it was soon forgotten. I assume the “Fall of Kaubal” will be forgotten in a week, just like The Kurds in Northern Syria. Remmeber the Kurds? American’s noblest and most important allies per Mittens in 2019. Trump withdrawing 100 USA troops was going to DESTROY THEM. I don’t think Romney has said boo about the Kurds since.
We should have had all Americans out on May 1. (Well, we should have withdrawn completely by Feb 1 2002. )
No, we do not need the Afghan traitors and quislings brought to the US.
Bring all our troops home from everywhere outside the borders of the US. End all aid to every other nation. Mind our own business and guard our own borders.
“Mind our own business and guard our own borders.”
Not while the demonic forces are in control of the US government. Now can they can fight THEIR real war – against “white supremacy, racism and domestic terrorists” right here on American soil.
Yes, bringing the troops home is a good thing had it been done correctly, but the demonic cabal is not interested one wit in the troops. These are the very same people they refer to as extremist who need to to be culled from the military. Chyna and rest of the demonic cabal are getting what they paid for.
You’re joking, right?
You expect our troops to guard our borders, under this fascist regime?
Heh, with this admin, our troops will be more likely used to escort bands of illegals to be scattered about our nation especially to overwhelm parts that tend to lean conservative.
With 3,000 troops deployed, plus unmentioned numbers of special forces, you can bet there are Air Force and Navy assets also deployed. Thus, the total personnel deployed to support this latest JoeBama fiasco probably numbers far more than the actual number of troops on the ground.
According to recent Poll 47% of Americans approve of Biden’s handling of the economy. IOW, they approve of massive inflation, and rising food, housing, and gasoline prices! The point being is that Biden’s supporters will vote for him no matter what. I think we’re getting to the tipping point in the USA. Once the D’s have enough immigrants, minorities, etc. it won’t matter. The D’s will be able to do ANYTHING, and 51% will vote for them.
Those polls are all fake. They just make everything up.
That’s not the recent Rasmussen poll, showing that approximately 70% believe inflation in the economy is our greatest problem, next to the invasion at the border.
The fraud’s polls are going down.
Yes … the entire nation is becoming CA. A State where “Caucasian” = a minority now. Heespanick is the majority. The Reconquista is complete.
Another humanitarian disaster to add to Joe’s list.
Looking at this from 10,000 ft, we went there to install democracy and before it was over we lost our own.
That comment wins the internet today. Very well said.
“It’s a republic, if you can keep it.”
And at the moment keeping it is in doubt.
The only thing missing this time around, really good music.
Yes, I’m that old and then some..
I hope those soldiers remember who was fighting for them back home, when times get tough.
Many will.
We died for their freedom under the Taliban.
The majority seem to prefer the “freedom” offered by their own culture rather than from outside interventionists.
My sympathy goes out to all the Afghani’s who will now be butchered for aligning with the US. Never trust the USA as an ally.
The Vietnamese learned that now the Afghanis will.
The American Ambassador to Taiwan is in no danger.
We have no American Ambassador to Taiwan.
Nice thinking ahead.
I’m shocked I tell you, Shocked!
To many Truths are front and center now.
Amazing. The didn’t hold out any time compared to S Vietnam. What a waste of 20 years of people and money. The minute the mentally deficient George W. decided to stay, after not killing OBL, we lost.
This is why we stayed to do the 20 years of Great Islamic Society Nation Building –
“Islam brings hope and comfort to millions of people in my country, and to more than a billion people worldwide. Ramadan is also an occasion to remember that Islam gave birth to a rich civilization of learning that has benefited mankind. Islam is a faith that brings comfort to people.
It inspires them to lead lives based on honesty, and justice, and compassion. Islam is a faith that brings comfort to a billion people around the world. It’s a faith that has made brothers and sisters of every race. It’s a faith based upon love, not hate.
Mohammad’s word has guided billions of believers across the centuries, and those believers built a culture of learning and literature and science. All the world continues to benefit from this faith and its achievements.
– George W. Bush, the Insane !!!
Our troops are being put in harms way, by incompetent leadership. From Austin to the joint chiefs, and the various military secretaries, not one of them is worth one of our Private’s First Class.
FUBAR
Yep. Badly.
Correction FUWWBAR
Anyone have any insight on Jake Sullivan?
I really, really hate Leftists.
Really hate.
They peg the meter on pretty much every moral failure a human being can exhibit.
Alas, the loss of so many American lives and treasury.
For what.
An opioid crisis.
This whole week, the futures markets have not been acting right and I’m beginning to wonder if next week is going to be a pullback or worse. Although, depending on the Capital Flows, they could take off to the upside. I’ll I know is strange things are occurring.
At this time (5:27pm Eastern) – I have heard they can’t get troops in the country. We are going to see US citizens paraded around and executed. I hope the British are not as incompetent, and will help our people.
Good piece on the Afghanistan mission and why it was doomed to fail all the way back to 2002, when the mission went from getting bin Laden and punishing the Taliban, to nation building. Read this piece and weep for, like Viet Nam, the military “leadership” kept up a false pretense of victory being just around the corner. PDJT saw it for what it was, a failed, never-to-succeed war with no clear ending or objective and he decided to put an end to it.

The folks at Nobel should make a big deal about giving PDJT the Peace Prize, rubbing Biden’s failures into his regime.
An excerpt from the U.S. Army War College Quarterly – Winter 1996-1997:
“The leaders of the United States in the crucial years of the early and mid-1960s failed to come up with a strategy that would produce victory. Instead, they simply poured in more and more US troops and materiel into South Vietnam. They misled (lied to) the public by insisting we were winning the war and thereby prepared the war for defeatism and demagoguery later on. The American people could not be expected to continue indefinitely to support a war in which they were told victory was around the corner, but which required greater and greater effort without any obvious signs of improvement.
Even had the United States attained a conclusive military decision, its cost would have exceeded any possible benefit. Vietnam was then, and remains today, a strategic backwater.
