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.
“Khalilzad planned the withdrawal in 2019, and the date fixed was May 2021. The Pentagon had a year and half to prepare, but delayed it, as they thought Biden would reverse Trump’s decision.”
Cont…
Congressional investigations are WORTHLESS. Congress is busy, busy giving away the the country to the Chinese Communist Party.
So the Pentagon thought? The Pentagon thought Biden stealing the election would be good for their pocketbooks? They are anti-human godless goons willing to kill, maim, and destroy lives to preserve their cocktail party life of prestige and snobbery.
It is little wonder President Trump believed he could, at the very least, depend upon some measure of support from his Generals and every last one of them betrayed him. They betrayed We the People too.
“Congress is busy, busy giving away the the country to the Chinese Communist Party”
Nope. It’s American business in bed with China to manufacture their products.
If you shop at Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Target, and all big box stores your supporting China.
MADE IN AMERICA .COM
I see the sell off to China as a group effort by Congress, Corporate America, our Universities and media.
I buried friends who went to that hellscape to “fight for freedom” and came back in a box.
They died for absolutely nothing.
That’s what America had become.
Agreed, fascinating to me at least. How ones perceived view can change.
Pre P44
My naïveté suggested that the U.S.A. had a decent government structure.
That was enhanced during P45’s Presidency.
Sadly not anymore…I am usually an optimist.
However this insanity of fraudulent elections, large American cities are leftist hellholes.
Now we have the slaughter of innocents yet again.
Disgusted once more.
Has any country in modern times sent more innocent youngsters into these sh*tholes to be maimed or slaughtered in the name of “ nation building” all while destroying what was once the greatest nation on earth.
P.S. Russian warships are parading through the English Channel.
Xi gets Asia and America and Canada Putin gets Europe.
Brilliant work U.S.politicians of all stripes.
Scum!!
My heart is so grieved, they were sent to fight with never a plan to win and we’re restrained by rules of engagements.
And so many killed or maimed and scarred to the depths of their soul.
??
still, shall we say ‘unquiet’ ?, hearing and seeing Nam again….most nights. Ain’t no senator’s son, no. Old men still send young men to die. I hope it’s not a riddle for most here. Welcome home, and bohica.
One of my sisters is a psychologist. Her practice has been limited for years to military personnel. She should have retired ten years ago, but keeps getting referrals because there is an endless litany of scarred souls.
She has never broken their confidence, but on occasion has said, “You cannot know how hard it is for me to remain composed while they tell their stories. Our country has no idea how much we owe them. Thanking them for their service is almost insulting.”
Surprized they are not sending social workers to deescalate the situation…. so the embassy can be evacuated….
Will we send woke pronouns to save our folks?
Will the draft be re-instated?
They better send the Trans group who have vaxed. We don’t want to give any Talibans a disease.
Democrats talked a lot about reinstating the Draft during the Obama years; so yes, expect the draft to be reinstated, and to include women to be included this time around.
Maybe Milly will send a battalion of really woke women in high heels to fight the Taliban savages.
Getting out of Afghanistan was the right thing to do. President Trump wanted to get out but was stymied by his military brass. The problem is they are going at it backwards. When the decision was made to leave the first action should have been to evacuate ALL U.S. embassy staff, families and any Afghan nationals employed by the embassy. Once US embassy civilians and other American contractors were safely out the final step would be the rapid pull out all military personnel.
I suspect the military planners knew this plan was guaranteed to fail and that they are trying to stop the pull out by undermining the operation. To put it bluntly I don’t doubt that the war pigs in D.C. would be only to happy to see American civilians and military come under attack so as stop any exit from Afghanistan. Imagine an attack on the scale of the Beirut barrack’s bombing. If that were to happen Biden would be compelled to declare a new war on the Taliban.
All American’s in Afghanistan are now in a very perilous situation. The official government of Afghanistan don’t want to see American’s troops leaving and could be inclined to stage a false flag against American’s in Afghanistan in order to reverse the planned exit.
Guess who else does false flag operations. Our gubt. They are quite skilled at getting their way and if they want to stay they will. They have demonstrated it repeatedly.
Our crooked media would be only to happy to provide cover and false fact checking for them.
I agree. They do everything they can to facilitate such attacks. Syria is a good example. There should be no U.S. troops in Syria. They are only there to be used as human trip-wires. It is only a matter a time before Al Qaeda or ISIS forces (which the U.S. arms and funds in Idlib) carry out an attack on U.S. troops which will promptly be blamed on “Iran backed forces). It’s the only way they can manufacture consent for wars in countries the US has no business being in.
corrupt liar politics and let them kill each other,
But bring all our soldier’s home,
Yes, may the Chinese live in interesting times in Afcrapistan.
And, because the mil spent 1 to 3 million per contractor* to train the Afgan army. The worse part is, a lot of contractors are just the long arms of our representatives.
*An acquaintance, former mil, went 3 times, 4 months at a time to train them at 1.75 mil a trip.
$88 Billion? I think not. Try TRILLION$.
“How ’bout that?!” Mel Allen
Much like our own Revolution against the British.
That exit was more orderly
I remember watching it on TV while in high school. It was then that I decided that our government was being run by cowards and criminals.
Exactly
yep.
CIA / devil’s army must have sucked all possible profit out of the poppy fields over last 3 decades, time for the “economic hitmen” to pack up and head to another country to destroy
Who cares…put a wig on it call it Hillary
I absolutely believe this is going to be more Iranian Embassy Circa 1979 then Vietnam Embassy Circa 1975! That are going to be Americans left there, without a doubt… How else will the industrial-military complex justify the trillions of dollars they want to spend restarting the never ending war in the Middle East?
The People’s Liberation Army will not execute a war like all the chicken sh ts i n the Pentagon and the swamp.
Their actions will involve mass genocide via carpet bombing and hunter – killer teams to root out those hiding in the shadows. Their military and political leaders won’t eff around like all ours have (save for Trump).
We needed to leave but, this chaos is by design, the military leaders abruptly pulled out like petulant children throwing a tantrum. It’s no accident, them leaving behind all sorts of goodies for the lefts allies, the Taliban. Just so everyone isn’t surprised, you’ll find out months/years from now that large sums of cash were left behind for the enemy by (someone).
It’s just a reboot, we can win any kinetic war in approximately 45 min to an hour but never will because there’s no money in that.
I bet those Taiban didn’t take a vaccine or produce a vaccine passport to buy their guns, drive their tanks, buy some food. I bet they don’t take Critical Race Theory classes or have to walk around in high heels either.
I sleep tight at night knowing our military is so woke.
LOL!
apparently Taliban are banning the Covid vaccines:
They probably know something that our politicians don’t want us to know.???
It is one thing I agree with the Taliban…ban the vaccine.
….. and the CJCS and his JCS buddies are too busy prancing around in next year’s Parda’s 4inch “China” red pumps. What a military !!!
So glad we spent those billions for gender studies in Afghanistan.
It all went to spruce up the Bazi bachi clubs’ stage decor and laser show lights. The all serve Vox designer water now with each ticket.
US officials in Afghanistan are destroying sensitive docs at embassy in Kabul
https://www.foxnews.com/world/us-officials-afghanistan-destroying-sensitive-docs-embassy-kabul
The Taliban is closing in. I hope this isn’t a repeat of Tehran, 1979. Except then at least our diplomats were released alive. I have no such hopes if the Taliban captures our embassy.
Deja Vu for this USAF Vietnam Vet.
It’s over folks. 🙁
“I took the last plane out of Saigon” – Jimmy Buffett
The military industrial complex that is our federal government must be destroyed.
PT had an orderly withdrawal deal in place which Joe immediately broke. And I can tell you one thing, PT would not have left billions in equipment to use of sell! Which was left, it would not surprise me, with the understanding of 10% for the Big guy.
Biden is just a sock puppet. This is a Susan Rice production.
At this moment Grandpa Cottonhead is probably lost in Rose Garden trying to find the Situation Room.
https://mobile.twitter.com/JackPosobiec/status/1425210782770360322?
Demonrats defunded the support of the south Vietnamese and thus the fall of Saigon. Hundreds of thousands were then killed as a result. Bloody murders our demonrats. Now this. Of course they will blame it on Trump.
I wonder if the 5 Taliban Commanders we stupidly released from the comfy and halal-certified confines of GITMO in a “trade” for Bergdahl are back over there or are they still in their villa in that Gulf State?
Gooooood Mooorrrrrnning Vietnam……
bingo…
If we were smart we should have hidden a large nuke deep under the government palace/hovel in Kabul that can be remotely detonated via satellite link. Then when the Taliban have their victory party when they overrun the cowardly Government forces, we can get rid of them and blame the Pakistanis for transporting a nuke through Kabul to Iran. Those “potholes”, you know (wink wink). (Should have dumped tons of estrogens in the village wells. Hopefully no more international UN polio vaccine teams dare go over there (as many have been tortured and shot by those illiterate muslim villagers) so that Lil’ Ali and Abdullah can’t climb the hilly path to their hovel with their atrophied stick legs.)
Then again our battle tactics failed again against an enemy who are illiterate, have no air force, artillery, tanks, satellites, and are zeaolots for a violent religion. Going out on limited undermanned patrols from FOBs and then get a couple of your buddies killed by a hidden sniper at yet another farm-orchard mudhouse (and then repeat the next day) really doesn’t gain actual real estate. Coulter was right about the need to covert these folks to Christianity.
It’s no coincidence that biden left Afghanistan now. just another serious distraction from the overwhelming proof of a stolen election by Mike Lindell symposium…..stay focused on exposing the BIG LIE!
nothing to see here, move along. take this shinny object with you….
I’m just praying that we don’t lose any more men, women and canines while trying to get our citizens out. God Bless all those in our military who died(and their families) or were wounded while fighting over there. My heart hurts for all of them. ??????
Underestimate
Biden said, “You’re gonna need F-15s and nukes to beat the American government….”
Unless you’re the Taliban.
Now Biden will need 3,500 troops just to get the American government out of Afghanistan, then watch the whole thing fall in…after twenty years of combat failures by our Brilliant Generals like “White Rage” Mark Milley.
I love the math: Biden withdraws 2,500 troops to End Afghanistan, then sends in 3,500 troop to turn tail and run.
The Bourbon Generals, as Tallyrand said of the Bourbon Dynasty – they have learned nothing and they have forgotten nothing.
I think it’s up to about 7,000 troops now…
Diana West (from quite some years ago now and so much smarter than our depraved Bourbon Generals)
Could a culture that wasn’t emasculated, dumbed down, and distracted even consider such a pusillanimous idea as COIN? It’s Kipling’s “Danegeld” on overdrive. Is there no decency left in the Pentagon?
And don’t even get me started on sacrificing our young men for a depraved hopeless country like Afgh. Actually, not even for Afgh. They are being sacrificed for the vanity of those who hatch ideas like COIN, and who, even when those ideas fail spectacularly, will not face reality.
The vain ones don’t have to. Like guests at a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, they get to *move on* from their messes, to be promoted, to paint pictures in plush retirement, take seats on corporate board$, teach “leadership” classes, gather up honors at black-tie galas. It’s a luxe life, and no one calls them on it, not even to acknowledge what they have wrought.
Others are not so fortunate.
Will there ever be a reckoning?
That Biden fellow is the greatest military strategist since Alexander the Great, right?
No. That would be George W. Bush and the Pentagon Generals.
Didn’t the American presence provide about 95% of the Afghan GDP?
Thought that it was the poppy fields.
Isn’t it rracisss if Bidung doesn’t surrender to the Taliban ?
I would pay big bucks to get the Taliban to hold up “Biden didn’t win” signs as they storm the embassy.
OMG I’m laughing hysterically and I’m not even sure why!
Afghan-centric Belief System, Max Boot, High Priest and Ayatollah presiding.:
1) All roads start in Afghanistan.
2) All roads end in Afghanistan.
3) The Sun revolves around Afghanistan.
4) The Moon revolves around Afghanistan.
5) The Stars revolve around Afghanistan.
6) If the United States does not keep sufficiently large troop mass in Afghanistan for the rest of eternity, the orbital stability of the Earth will become profoundly unbalanced and all Muslim terrorists will slide into the United States.
This is all very similar to a much more recent phenomenon and it is almost as insane.
The Holy Corono Virus Belief System, Anthony Fauci, High Priest and Ayatollah presiding:
1) All roads start with Corono Virus.
2) All roads end with Corono Virus.
3) The Sun revolves around the Corono Virus.
4) The Moon revolves around the Corono Virus.
5) The Stars revolve around the Corono Virus.
6) If all the earth’s inhabitants do not surrender all their rights to Big Brother and are not immediately put in solitary confinement, with two needles stuck in each arm, and wearing 5 face diapers, the ying and the yang, and the dollars and the sense, of the Earth will become profoundly unbalanced and all remaining Corono Viruses in the entire Universe, C20 thru C1000000 will hit the Earth and we will all die a countless number of agonizing deaths.
Def Sec Austin and Chairman Milley have the ultimate weapon waiting for the gathering Taliban. They will use TOP SECRET CRT Trans Pronoun bombs on the Taliban. When the Taliban becomes Zi / Zir they will melt away to their Mother’s basements to make Super Trans TikTok videos. THERE WILL BE PEACE IN OUR TIME!! True story
“Tears Before the Rain” is a collection of eyewitness accounts of the fall of Saigon. It is a hair-raising history.
Evil John Kerry at the time waved an airy hand in dismissal and said maybe 4,000 South Vietnamese would be killed but no big deal.
Because the Democrats destroyed the funding for the South Vietnamese Army two years after the Americans had withdrawn from the country, the Democrats made sure the South Vietnamese had no support from us to fight the North Vietnamese communist Army.
That is what doomed them and as a result half a million South Vietnamese were butchered and another half million or so became the famous boat people who fled to Hong Kong in any watercraft they could get hold of. A lot like the Cubans trying to get to Florida and many of them died in the attempt. Evil John Kerry and the other communist bastards in the US did not give a rat’s butt about any of these poor people. They truly are evil.
Also note that the Young cowards who were in the so-called anti-war movement stop demonstrating as soon as the draft ended. They weren’t anti-war, they were anti-draft. The peace symbol at the time was scornfully described as the footprint of the American chicken and that was pretty damned accurate.
the taliban is taking over. so what! we all knew this was going to happen whenever we left afghanistan. we knew back in 2004, it is what the afghan people want. so let them have it. we fought to make it safe for them to have freedom and they rejected it. enough american lives and wealth have been sacrificed for them.
as an aside biden has complete faith in the afghan military. you think any republican news source or website would show him saying that a couple of weeks ago? don’t hold your breath.
That was the best movie! My sister and I went to see it 6 times. It is still my favorite!
Wouldn’t be cheering for the deep state that’s for sure!
The Biden administration has been one disaster after another so far and the DNC loves it because they hate we the people. Somebody please prove me wrong.
Tragic that lives were lost, many maimed, returned with PTSD and some suicided.
To see this result, all for naught.
And there’s the monetary aspect. The arms manufacturers made a fortune. Well over two trillion spent between Afghanistan and Iraq. smh.
Afghanistan, Graveyard of Empires.
How do the left sleep at night ?
Our government has become even more corrupt and dismissive of the blood sacrifice taken to pursue their dreams of personal wealth and power. Nothing was learned from the tragic and gut-wrenching defeat in Saigon, but even that was not enough; they doubled down in years, money and lives ruined over Afghanistan. I know I won’t live long enough to see, but I wish for the Washington National Mall to be a scene where thousands of politicians, big-shots, generals, dignitaries, lobbyists etc are hung from gallows for their crimes against humanity and we that lost blood, family and friends in these wars. We’ve been fooled and played long enough; it’s past time consequences are meted out.
My heart breaks for the sheep dogs amongst us, men and women who VOLUNTEERED to put their lives on the line in defense of our Nation. Their service has been noble no matter what the degenerates in DC and the Pentagram have done and will do in the future.
Beyond the deaths and maimed bodies, there is the psychological scarring that is inherent in war.
Nobody learned a God Damned thing from Vietnam.
big deal to carry a gun, better when you can shoot it, scary when some one shoots at you….shooting back costs you a lot, nullifies the initial big deal. Ain’t life grand?
Viet NAM exodus all over again.
WHO CARES?? Meanwhile, election Fraud and Jeffery Epstein.
Should have just Agent Oranged all the poppy fields. Then napalm them. Wasted useless country putting money in the pockets of elites and drug cartel leaders.
The ‘Stan is rich in rare earth minerals like lithium , who benefits ?

The fall of Afghanistan was caused by …. ” A video “
Islam needs to undergo a reformation process, and it needs to do so without a single taxpayer dollar from the United States.
Now we know why Austin and Milley are cashing in their “WOKE” chips with the media.
The last 19 years were a complete fraud.
I feel so sorry for the men and women in the military who served and those maimed and killed as chattel in this boondoggle.
It’s in those folk that true honor resides not in the military brass and congress-folk who orchestrated it.
Somebody tell Nancy that what we’re witnessing in Afghanistan is an “insurrection.”
Only right wing conservatives are capable of conducting insurrections.
What we have here are Peaceful Demonstrations(TM).
Have a heart.
They mean well/s
Good work interloper, now another generation of US soldiers will be dying in that worthless land governed by the adherents to the religion of peace.
I insist that the smartest man that Biden knows leads the way back in and out of Afghanistan.
