Random and related stuff that might help make sense of the next few days, weeks and months as the Taliban retake control of Afghanistan.
(1) The Muslim Brotherhood. Already reports from Qatar that MB leadership is heading back into Afghanistan. This is predictable. The Muslim Brotherhood is the political umbrella for authentic Islam (ie. extremists). The Brotherhood supports the al-Qaeda regional affiliates including the Taliban, al-Nusra, and others. Qatar is the financial center of the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Brotherhood is political Islam.
(2) China. Most people don’t realize that China shares a common border with Afghanistan and has issues with Islamic extremists and sympathizers. China has benefited from the U.S. in Afghanistan keeping the Taliban in check. A U.S. retreat now means China needs to engage with the Taliban to bolster their national security interests. China will establish diplomatic ties with the Taliban partly because Beijing uses duplicitous diplomacy as a strategy. [It ain’t because China likes the Taliban]
(3) Turkey. Unfortunately for Europe, Turkey is both a NATO member (stupid decision) and aligned in common cause with the Muslim Brotherhood. Turkish President Recep Erdogan has previously given safe harbor to the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood upon their exit from Qatar, when the Gulf Cooperation Council (Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Kuwait, UAE, Oman, Bahrain) demanded Qatar stop supporting terrorists (the Brotherhood).
The EU will not want to recognize the Taliban, but Turkey most certainly will… regardless of what the EU wants, because Erdogan is aligned with extremist Islam. Europe is weak and always ends up acquiescing to the threats of Turkey; so don’t look for much other than pearl clutching from NATO members about it.
(4) Europe. As noted above, the EU doesn’t support Islamic extremism; however, the EU is now infiltrated with Islamic extremism, and the EU is too worried about cultural sensitivities to do anything about it. They will likely try another round of multiculturalism advocacy, which will likely end just like the last time with fracture and cultural crisis because the Islamic extremists attack, murder and rape too many EU people. It will be a mess again.
(5) Pakistan. The Pakistani government is already aligned in common purpose with the Taliban, and have been supporting them under the table the entire time the U.S. was in Afghanistan (See UBL compound etc). China has invested heavily in Pakistan and created reasonably strong ties. China needs the assistance of Pakistan to help leverage their need for regional national security from the Taliban in Afghanistan.
(6) Russia. Oddly Russia and the EU have the same outlook toward the Taliban in Afghanistan. However, where the EU is twisted in pretzel knots of political correctness, Russia is not. Look for Russian President Vladimir Putin to exploit his own interests in the EU via strength and a closer relationship. How? Because Russia can keep the Taliban and Turkey in check if the NATO members are blackmailed by Afghanistan and Erdogan.
*Note – NATO was formed to keep Russia in check…. and now we will likely watch Russia helping NATO keep their step-child, Turkey, in check. How’s that for some geopolitical irony?
Summary: Qatar (Muslim Brotherhood) will help the Taliban (al-Qaeda). China will form tenuous and conniving ties with the Taliban, likely relying on economics. Turkey will support the Taliban and look for help, eventually, to assist Erdogan re-attain the Ottoman Empire he lusts. The EU is stuck between Russia and a hard place (Turkey), and will likely end up on team Putin.
Joe Biden will eat jello…. and the leftists in the U.S. State Department will run to their proverbial Alamo, The United Nations.
Wait for it…
Omg. Lmao.

I don’t think so – they need to run a few more dramatically stupid ops that they can pin on the big guy first.
Gourd she’s dumber than he is.
Yes she is, but she’s not the one writing her “Greatness” speeches. Why do you think they let Biden loose on certain occasions? Nothing is ever a coincidence, ever!!!
And the Sheeple that still support Bidung/Harrass are even more stupid.
And remember who is batting 3rd, Ms Nancy!
Only until Harris’ VP nominee is confirmed. I’m sure Stacey Abrams is all packed and ready to head to DC.
Heels up Harris couldn’t close her home state or Iowa.
She’s a miserable, infuriating, insufferable hag. And she’s coming for your armaments. (Did in CA).
Hate her more than Hillary.
I would rather be douse in napalm, launched out of a cannon, through a ring of fire, into an abyss landing in lava than listen to ? up Harris.
Not if Obama can help it, although, he did refer to KH as the “best looking attorney general”. IMO she is useless to Obama. I wonder how Obama is mapping this all out and who he wants in office to call the shots for him?
Definitely SNAFU
Major Charlie Foxtrot.

Trump statement today:
If there was ever a time that we needed our President Trump, it is today.
No Seneca…the time we needed our President Trump was back in January when GW Bush’s lasting gift to the American people allowed this pack of jackals to feast on the carcass of this once great nation. Today…it is too late for our President Trump to bring order to this disorder…today…we must rely on ourselves…and Samuel Colt and his ilk!
Pakistan once used Taliban to raise terrorists to use against India. (So Pakistan can escape blame.)
Expect that to resume.
Don’t expect the Taliban to have ‘learned any lessons’. Expect them to once again use Pakistani terrorist funding to build international terrorism.
“Pakistan once used Taliban to raise terrorists to use against India.”
Which would be fine with China.
As Sundance points out… China sat back just like the USA during the Afghanistan/Russia war. Both supportive for virtually the same outcomes.
Control.
China will use this as an opportunity to battle test men and equipment. They’re not stupid enough to nation build an ungovernable territory.
china is quite capable and definitely not adverse to using the kind of power and intelligence the united states (and Russia) refused to commit.
the only question that remains is what does Afghanistan offer to China.
let me speak to that.
remember nortstrom gas line deal that obiden refused to challenge?
there has always been a strategic advantage of a high capacity oil pipeline that cuts across Afghanistan… doing that in record time would motivate china to take Afghanistan…they could do it in less than six months. flat…the pipeline in.less than a year.
then china wields super power in a region that includes the entire interior of Russia…including southern and eastern “silk road” nations.
Afghanistan is looking very attractive to china.
with this administration, we’ve all but delivered the prize to CCP
China got all the minerals. We got the poppies.
If I did not know the One who controls history, I would be terrified. “Thy will be done” is powerful.
And have you noted that was said by a person God expected to go out and get killed?
That’s the real question, isn’t it, “what is it that it is God’s will for me to DO?”
Indeed, it is not God’s Will that we sit acquiescently as evil propagates.
Thank You!
Indeed. And because he was obedient even to death on the cross, he has been exalted to the highest place, given a name above every name, and every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that he is the Lord.
As for my responsibilities, they are summarized in the ten commandments. They also enumerate my God given rights. I have the right and responsibility to call on him as the only true God, and to honor his name and word above everything else. In the commands to honor father and mother, and to not commit adultery, he has given us the right and responsibility to establish our families. In forbidding theft and slander, he gives us the right of property and a good name.
When a society has no regard for their Creator, and does not exercise the right and privilege of honoring him above everything else, what happens?
Don’t want to cause offence to your personal viewpoint John but I would say it is a safe bet that if you were in a room in Kabul right now holding your incriminating US passport you would not be saying “Thy will be done”.
You be be thinking constantly of the best way to get out of there in one piece.
It’s so easy to quote the bible from a place of comfort is it not.
Also, “controlling history” means controlling the present which becomes history in the space between two thoughts which implies ergo we have no real free will at all as it is controlled by our creator.
I won’t bother listing here all the known crimes against humanity, the torture and dismemberment, the sadistic and perverted crimes against children and the incalculable murder of innocent people as we all pretty much know that.
But it must comfort you to know that Thy will be done is so powerful.
#Iran says it has prepared accommodation in three provinces bordering #Afghanistan to provide temporary refuge to Afghans fleeing their country as #Taliban insurgents enter the capital Kabul.

So the Afghans get killed before the Taliban can get to the Iranians?
The Talabanie in the middle looks like Terry Jones of the Monty Python group!
They look a little like bikers in robes.
And the one on the left looks like Ben Kingsley with a dodgy beard from the props dept lol
Please describe the difference between “extremist Islam” and “Islam.”
less than the Difference between Sheridan’s “good” Indians.
Per sundance:
“The Muslim Brotherhood is the political umbrella for authentic Islam (ie. extremists).”
Note the use of “authentic.” I interpret to mean that the MB represents Islam as is practiced (authentic) and not the Islam which is presented for public consumption in the West (taqiya).
The difference is only in how it is “produced” and”sold.”
Same same….Communists and Socialists, same same Democrats and Republicans. It can be summed up simply as: One is willing to kill you for their cause and the other is willing to die, while killing you for theirs.
velocity measured in fractions of a degree.
There isn’t
There isn’t any, it is just word salad.
My guess is that the Taliban will ultimately seek to get a nuclear weapon from Pakistan and deploy it in the USA. In the meantime, they likely have been getting sleeper cells across our wide open border in order to start launching attacks in the USA. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure this out. Prepare yourselves accordingly.
ironically as we have painfully learned…nukes are not required.
a bat bug will do just fine
They don’t have the skill set.
I am NOT going to link to the science paper. …(it should have been classified highest compartment)…
yet, there it is, for anyone to read.
what does it contain?
a shade tree low tech low cost very rapid method to force a relatively benign influenza virus into what is known as
the most deadly pathogen ever made!
this happened in 2013. there doctors loosely coordinating new methods for gain of function…two in the US, one in Holland.
they published the DIY HOW TO in full details.
now if this sounds odd and insane, let me explain THAT PAPER WAS THE REASON OBAMA SET A MORATORIUM ON ALL GAIN OF FUNCTION !!!
Then, fauci and camp “rescued” gain of function and delivered the technology, the resources, the money, and the manpower and the political power to Wuhan to continue what could not be done here in the US.
one paper. just one…and yes it’s still open public distribution..unredacted…draw and very detailed.
you take h5n1 and run it thru about 49 ferrets, and a half dozen humanized mice..then you use a non crispr method to edit certain segments if the sequence..very low tech…about 25,000 in materials… about half a million in hardware/infrastructure.
then you have a vaccine that target 7 different cells, has a 30 day incubation with a very poor error checking mechanism…of which there are no known vaccines…the transmissibility r naught is about 25!!!
let that sink in.
now…let’s get back to terror groups…what do we know..? if they don’t know how, they pay for it.
send guys to get pilot training…buy high precision explosive material..use cutouts who have skills.
I am not saying the Taliban is going to start bio weapon production…I. saying the only barrier is will and money.
pretty much the same for any terror groups.
but within the radical islamic Taliban is a death cult that is like no other…it was enhanced by the likes of Osama bin laden, whom the Taliban hold with high regard…
to the Taliban, the calculus is far more grave than let’s say the houthis, or CCP…the Taliban similar to al queda observe a imperative that everyone be murdered… everyone.
a super big would be incredibly important to fulfill their agenda to see the world burn
one problem with using an extremely virulent bio weapon (or even a less virulent on)once it is released, you cant control it. Not sure that problem is solved.
The retiring head of the Border Patrol said about a week ago that more terrorists have crossed our Southern border recently than in his entire career!
The Occupation Junta is walking a fine line. These are the sorts of events that awaken the unwoke, those who still think we have Constitutional Government. If the Regime goes too far too fast, it could topple their whole House of Marked Cards.
Never underestimate the depth of brainwashing that has occurred. And even if it hadn’t, the human mind tends to avoid changing major views based on new info. Instead, it finds a way to deal w/the new info so the prevailing view can be maintained.
Exhibit A:
https://therightscoop.com/truly-insane-joy-reid-tweet-and-utterly-devastating-saavedra-win-on-taliban-and-january-6th/
the depth of Brainwashing I agree with 100%
I deal with the left all the time
one I know of who is a neighbor where I work
complained about gas prices and inflation
I told him why
he got jabbed about a week after he got it
he is asking me where to get ivermectin ?
why?
He was pissed about the shot after he did some research
I think he caught Dr. Malone being interviewed on the radio
by nutjob Gary Null
this was after I told him anyone who would take it is crazy and why
he still did it
I then asked him if he would get a booster and he said
I’m not being some’s experiment anymore,no more shots
I said to him doesn’t the government have your best interest with this?
no reply he changed the subject.
I just chip away everyday
this is a person who is sold on socialism
he will never give up his religion
I want to ask him if people should be forced to take the shot he is angry about?
I would bet yes will be the answer
putting his feet up on the desk all the time was a sign of disrespect
Now consider that in the context of the Resolute desk being a gift from the British.
That would make it all the more pointed I would say.
well done
Yep.
Not to mention his policies.
It is also walking a fine line in another sense.
There is a widespread, and generally correct, assumption that most of these “failures” and “crises” are either intentionally created or, at the very least, manipulated in order to further specific policy objectives.
However, at some point the Obama crew will lose the ability to contain one of these crises. It happens. Humans fail. And the more complex, the more riskier, and the more numerous these crises become, the greater the risk that this will happen. If we think it is bad now, which it is, wait until there is absolutely no one able to influence outcomes.
We often talk about parallels between today and the rise of fascism in the 1920s and 1930s. Those parallels exist, and they are important ones which should not be overlooked. However, there are also parallels between the increasingly unstable and complex web of crises which led Europe to immolate itself over a relatively minor political assassination in 1914. That final crisis exploded largely because the string-pullers had constructed a cats-cradle far too intricate to remain responsive to their tugging.
Good analysis, keeler. Thanks.
I highly recommend you continue posting highly relevant analysis.

Sundance, with respect to your summary.
First, do not let the current Islamic State of Turkey cloud your assessment as to why they were admitted to NATO. Just a few points to consider, pre-Erdogan:
From 1950 to 1990: Turkey was a crucial location for ELINT, SIGINT and Imagery gathering vs the USSR and Warsaw Pact as well as entry point for spies.
From 1956-1960, the US posted Jupiter Nuclear tipped missiles in Turkey aimed at the USSR.
Turkey owns the straits at Istanbul.
Turkey borders the Black Sea.
Until Erdogan, Turkey was a counter to Iran.
Turkey provided a very large and effective 10,000 man Brigade and other medical troops to the Korean War effort.
There is much more but there were reasons. In fact the EEC and EU helped the rise of Erdogan by denying the entry of Turkey into both organizations over a 40 year period, when Turkey was a westernized quasi-secular state.
Second, as far as China Inc. is concerned, do not confuse “business” with Islamic movements. China has been a partner of the Taliban and Islamic Tribes in Afghanistan since 1980 via the US CIA and State Department. Ever notice how many Islamic nations criticize China Inc. for their treatment of the Islamics in China?? The answer is NONE…ZERO have criticized them. It is all business…as in a NON-Nation Building Financial Franchise between Afghanistan and China Inc. including China Inc.’s Global (and US) Finacial backers.
Excellent post.
Times change. So should policies. Turkey used to be the central land of the Ottoman Empire. That memory is part of their heritage as well.
NATO is an ossified, ineffective parasite. Times change.
Time for the US to seriously reconsider the 2020’s world, and realize that the post WWII world is quite a while ago.
George Washington urged us to stay away from “foreign entanglements.” It is time to ponder a new assessment of vital national interest. Begin as PDJT did with energy independence, secure borders, limit immigration, bring manufacturing home, modernize weaponry, etc. Much else to undertake, but a short blog post should remain that.
Do Islamic movements fear China?
What part of “it’s business” do you not comprehend??
So I assume ISIS will magically reappear and we can expect to see islamic terrorist attacks again.
Notice how we havent had any while President Trump was in charge?
20 year anniversary of 9/11 is coming up, the Feds have already put out warnings against anti-vaxxers and people who complain about Covid.

Wonder what lessons regarding Taiwan Red Pooh is absorbing as Kabul falls?
Wouldn’t it be a fascinating development if Taiwan changed their name back to Formosa and applied to rejoin the Empire of Japan.
Formosa was formally a part of Japan for nearly 50 years and recently the two nations started mutual defense pact discussions. Formosa actually contributed a few good Infantry Divisions and Air Regiments to the Imperial Army in WWII.
I’m afraid it’s too late for that now and Japan is in no position to fortify them.
We are choosing not to fortify Taiwan.
Japan no longer trusts us to fortify them:

China is working overtime to destabilize the globe to their advantage and America is not even trying to lead from behind like they did with Obama. It’s pretty much, exit stage left on every front except domestically.

ISIS is to Taliban as ANTIFA/BLM is to Democrats/RINO’s
And whose gonna cash in on the treasure trove of rare earth minerals sitting under the ground in Afghanistan ?
China.
We have hear that for over a hundred years.
We have heard that the United States must do this or that, usually send in American soldiers to risk their lives, because some country is “strategic” or has something (oil being one of the biggies) and there we plop our military for decades and there we spend trillions of dollars and lose our soldiers lives for something that America really really really must have and really must prevent one of our enemies from obtaining because it will make them stronger than us.
Or the old saw about how we need to “fight them over there so we do not have to fight them here on our own soil”.
And then after decades and gobs of money and dead American soldiers we usually run like h*ll because we are being chased out by an enemy who has more moxie and more reason for fighting than we do.
And all of that important stuff that we really really really could not do without never seems to become as important or to evolve like the experts told us it would.
But we stuck it out so that our enemy could not cash in on all of the treasures in some God forsaken third world dump.
And when we left, well all that happened was the enemy moved in and turned the h*ll hole into a bigger, deeper h*ll hole and it was as if we were never there.
Except for all of the dead American soldiers who died for nothing.

If I had to choose one word to describe President Trump, it would be FIGHTER. He is truly amazing. (and I agree 100% with his statement!)
Biden isn’t the only one who needs to resign.
I am just waiting for Hezbollah to join in on the craziness now.
Well, Lebanon is about to fall and Hezbollah’s leader says Iran is going to begin supplying them with fuel. Food & medicine will probably be next. (Geography reminder: Lebanon is directly north of Israel)
https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2021-08-15/lebanons-hezbollah-says-it-will-begin-importing-fuel-from-iran
Watch them send more fertilizer for Lebanon’s farms after that.
I just remember something about an explosion in the port of Beirut, where the official reporting was suspect about the finer details.
Isn’t Jeff Flake the new US ambassador to Turkey. He’ll find a way to rake in some money.
Flake is ambassador to Turkey? Good flipping grief.
Sundance, what is the context of what is happening in this picture, please? I am assuming this is at the airport in Kabul?
No commercial flights out. Taliban checkpoints if they try to go home. They’ll probably be executed or taken hostage.
I think the Taliban has some kind of financial deal with Biden in the works. That is why he is fine staying on vacation for a few days. He knows they will not get killed because he is going to send them pallets f cash.
Joe is a dictator now, he stole the election with the aid of China, and he will steal more.
HE DOES NOT HAVE TO LISTEN TO US. HE can just Kill us. 5th booster, 100 boosters, a million boosters.
He’s waiting for Jinping’s instructions.
Raggedy Ann is going on vacay this week. How many others are running out of DC this week?
You can run Jen, but you cnnot hide. It will all still be here when you return.
To clarify. If Biden doesn’t pay them, the people in the airport will probably be killed.
I’ve watched that bit several times now, and it just makes me ill. What are they thinking?
I know they are very afraid and trying for any possibility to get out. But what are they thinking?
Even if they could find a way to board the planes from the tarmac there is no reason to presume the planes are properly fueled; anyone in the tower to direct departures? Destinations identified?
These people are probably throwing away much of their ID as they flee so as not to be readily identified.
There is no one there to clear the runway for the planes to be allowed to taxi, even to depart the loading area…it is an utterly nightmarish scene and these people are running for their lives, with nowhere to go.
father of Hunter Biden, THIS IS ON YOU.
The US has the most incompetent generals in the history of mankind. They wield the most powerful military in history but can’t win a war. The only war these generals will pursue with vigour will be the war against middle America.
Yeah, well, it’s hard to win wars in high heels amidst gender confusion.
And studying Mao and white rage.
This is real simple: Some bad guys won the state of Afghanistan. They have many friends, friends in different parts of this world. These people and their friends are not friends of the United States.
China, when Nixon opened the doors for trade, etc., went on a plan to work with America and the West if they would supply the Chinese people jobs, etc. After some years the leadership realized that the Capitalists really loved being “greedy” and would take “bribes” wherein the Chinese could get information, etc. to help their communist country. One look at today’s China will tell you these people are one hard working people and have rapidly advanced from wearing a Mao jacket riding bikes to zooming around all over this planet and taking rockets to other planets! They ain’t dumb, nor are they lazy.
How many Americans took Chinese monies and sold out our country? Is Joe Biden’s family one of those? I certainly think so.
Then there is Russia. I note how Obama loved the Russian leaders, wanted to work with them. I note how Hillary’s camp used a Russian game plan to try and take down or at least hobble President Trump from the get go. I note how Biden gave the Russians the go ahead to build that major pipeline raking in billions for the Russians to build a new military. Russia doesn’t seem to be working with the United States. Biden has had some wealthly friends in Ukraine who gave some serious change to his son, Hunter the great Picasso! Something smells really rotten here!
As to Obama, he loves Iran and it’s leaders. He hates many parts of America, but not the Hollywood people nor those who live where he now lives. He and Kerry did their best to sell out our citizens, and that is not evening looking at our costs, racial issues, etc.
No, we have been asleep at the wheel and now just may be a major “wake up call” for the majority of legal American citizens. We have been sold out and allowed our kids and grandkids to become the new “bond slaves” of America all the while being told we are the problem, not our elected politicians.
They are party right, even though there are many questions as to the integrity of our voting system. I will defer that final reality to those who ran with this new technology and have been telling us what is right and wrong as they too took the lucre from all who would give.
Talk about “brainwashing” a population…welcome to America of today! But the game is not over, the fat lady has not come onto center stage.
looks Like they’re going to end up here.
Someone from the Delusional Joe illegal admin should tell him walls don’t work.

Good read, but the Taliban and Al Qaeda are not the same. Taliban is for Afghanistan. Al Qaeda shares a lot of the same religious beliefs, but they never fought together and the Taliban didn’t fight outside of their own borders. Heck, the Taliban was formed from the “freedom fighters” that we trained and armed to fight the Soviets. We can be “angry” about this, but Afghanistan will be it’s own sovereign country. It doesn’t serve our purposes not to have diplomatic relations with them going forward.
Hey all you “Suburban Women” who voted for Xiden because Trump’s tweets were mean.
Punch yourself right IN the face!
I am a suburb woman and I did not vote for Biden. What a disgrace he is to not even plan a comprehensive exit plan. There are American stranded in Kabul likely to become hostages or killed and he’s on a vacation. It is outrageous.
American goes in with best intentions then screws those who help.
Odds of finding their ilk here is thankfully slim.
#electionfraud. Very few people voted for him
That is real people
Fake news.
(7) The United States. The current administration will be transporting tens of thousands of Afghanis to the US for relocation. It is impossible to assume they will assimilate as America-loving patriots, and none will be Taliban sympathizers. And of the 5,ooo prisoners just released, we can expect them to soon be making their way to our southern border.
Yep and the Taliban terrorist will get an easy path to come to America as these people’s Uncle and Cousin
And yet they call the Patriotic Americans who live here domestic terrorists
It was bad enough that Biden’s crew decided to leave so quickly but to leave all that military hardware is unforgivable. Who cares about a few Humvees but all the high tech helicopters etc.–surely it would have been easy to fly them somewhere safe.
Incompetence does not ever start to describe the mess. Trillions of dollars and thousands of lives for ZIP.
If this does not give President Trump a huge increase in support then the USA is complete down the tubes.
Do you have links to those pics? So far all I have seen is broken down equipment and old rifles. I am not doubting that we gave all the equipment to the Taliban, but I would like to see it verified.
I saw a video the other day on OAN. They were driving Humvees.
We weren’t stupid. We didn’t leave the keys in the ignition.
Link
According to MTG – she was told the weapons and vehicles were left behind on purpose.
“The military equipment and arms were left on purpose for the Afghan military to supposedly defend themselves. But they have handed it all over with no resistance.”
And after 20 years of “training” these schleps it is our fault Kabul has fallen.
I agree with you.
Add up all the pain and suffering caused to millions of Americans and the millions across the world and now especially the people in Afghanistan all because they CHEATED and those in DC in positions to stop it, investigate it or rule on it chose not to!
They IMO are just as guilty.
The strengthening of the MB makes me wonder if JoeBama’s handlers planned this to counteract President Trump’s Middle East peace deals.
Oh yeah joe, the swampers really hated the Abraham Accord—peace is just not in their plans. Money laundering is so much easier when you can pit governments against one another.
The Effects of Election Fraud in the USA Having a Global Impact
What about Iraq? and especially the Kurdish region?
Can they count on Biden for help?
With no Bagram, and no US military bases near Kandahar, are they now more exposed?
Have we effectively ‘ceded’ the Iraqi western border below Baghdad to Iran?
This is setup to show the US is weak. Leave it to china and russia to save the day. When in reality this was given away. China and russia will just partner with pakistan which houses and trains the taliban.
Think with nothing more than ak47’s and rpgs they took over? Tell me a deal wasnt cut.
Now there can be a total alliance against Israel. The Abraham accords are now defunct. obamas ISIS to destroy Arabia and Israel.
Agree.
China will add opium to their shipments of fentanyl to the US in coordination with the three letter organized crime units.
Even more bad stuff happening on the ground… Expect this to turn even uglier as there are reports our contractors in Afghanistan are cut off and surrounded by the Taliban.

What about India? How does India fit into this? I thought they were part of the deterrent DJT referenced.
The last third of this piece from Sundance from Oct 2017 lays it out.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2017/10/13/trump-doctrine-delivering-results-with-pakistan-via-afghanistan/#more-139887
The article addressed the future and touched on China, MB , Turkey, Russia, and the EU. I was wondering how India plays into all of this. They seemed to be a key player in DJT’s strategy.
I admit I don’t know much, but it seems the reason we avoided war with President Trump was because he used the economy as a tool (weapon?) to negotiate peace. When I saw it playing out my admiration for him grew. Everyone benefits from good economic relations.
We all feel horrible for those who assisted our efforts in Afghanistan. However, I can guarantee you that Bidens handlers don’t give one tiny shit, in fact they’ll use this situation to blame the U.S. and Trump of abadondining an ally. We all know the election was stolen, how long do we watch these imposters destabilize the world, destroy our culture and our way of life?
I wonder what the GCC’s reaction to all of this will be.
Don’t think that china fully understands the mindset of these people. ?
Lefties were so afraid of PDJT starting a war..Ha! Four years of peace….and 6 mos of turmoil thanks to your “fake” pres. Whatcha gotta say now for yourselves!!??
While the US maintained order China pursued large projects in Pakistan: port facilities at Gwadar, rail lines, roads and tunnels in the Karakorum Mountains, pipelines.
Maximum US Oil production would put a severe dent in the Talibans financing.
so did the bomb vibrating the cave passage.. caving in the cave men
Watch for a false flag op in the US to distract and obfuscate attention away from what is going on elsewhere. Your bog standard stupid “white supremacist” patsy, complete with arsenal of AR-15s, is going to do something horrible, and when it comes out later that the FBI was, yet again, involved up their eyeballs, it will be ignored.
You forgot Lockheed/Boeing who adopt political actors who ensure military sales. Biden will ensure those sales, and ensure Americans guns are pointed at American soldiers.
Since gropey is in no way in charge, I would surmise that the withdrawal from the country was a very good way to arm our enemies with top notch weapons without having to go through Congress. I mean we usually leave some toys behind. Bet gen milley left his buddies a shit ton of stuff.
prior to 9/11,
with current technology and weaponry, no goat herders are a threat anywhere on earth, THIS IS A SHOW.
are you paying attention FBI America Killing Task Force? you read us, as you look for bullshit to fabricate. some of you must be waking up to the Truth you are being used.
Given how quickly a large, resurgent and motivated Taliban suddenly appeared on the world scene, it’s obvious that Millie’s military leadership has failed miserably. His optimistic speeches about the “war” were deliberate deceptions or outrageously inaccurate intelligence.
Despite the incredible skill and powerful weaponry of the U.S. military it was not allowed to effectively reduce the Taliban numbers. The 7th century Islamic zealots were playing possum in Pakistan etc. Hopefully, the inept policies and battlefield restrictions imposed on the military by woke, over confident or dishonest Generals will be fully exposed. But it’s not likely.
It appears that this 20-year unwinnable “war” was designed to continue and ensure that a very lucrative never-ending trough of money was flowing. But who profited most from this travesty? Billions are not accounted for. Were brave, dedicated American soldiers being killed and maimed so the worst scum on earth could get richer off their sacrifices? It’s certainly a possibility.
“Were brave, dedicated American soldiers being killed and maimed so the worst scum on earth could get richer off their sacrifices?”
Certainly, a very good question and possibility. For starters, let’s ask Liz Cheney.
The Atlantic has abandoned Biden as the left’s support implodes. “This betrayal will live in infamy. The burden of shame falls on Joe Biden”
To repeat, this is all part of a strategy:
1) Enact horrible policy.
2) Hide negative outcome as much as possible.
3) Apply remaining negative outcome to Trump Administration as much as possible.
4) Apply remaining negative outcome to Biden.
5) Force Biden out.
6) Install next Anointed One to “save” country.
7) Continue enacting horrible policies.
…and cackle as she does…
It seems that the media has been given permission to throw Slow Joe under the bus.
It will be short-lived or lived long enough to boot him out and replace him with Kamala. The never-ending nightmare.
Yup.
