The FUBAR in Afghanistan is so large in scope and failure, the Pentagon appears to be throwing the White House under the bus; and they are being considerably obtuse while doing it…. or are they?
If these reports from Daily Mail and Wall Street Journal are accurate, the Pentagon is claiming that Joint Chief’s Chairman General Mark Milley and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned Joe Biden about the pending collapse of Afghanistan if 2,500 troops were removed. However, both Milley and Austin are on record only a few weeks before the collapse saying exactly the opposite.
(Via Wall Street Journal) – In his Monday speech defending America’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, President Biden said he would not shrink from his share of responsibility.
That would include his decision to bring home U.S. troops, which was made against the recommendations of his top military generals and many diplomats, who warned that a hasty withdrawal would undermine security in Afghanistan, several administration and defense officials said.
The president’s top generals, including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army Gen. Mark Milley, urged Mr. Biden to keep a force of about 2,500 troops, the size he inherited, while seeking a peace agreement between warring Afghan factions, to help maintain stability. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who previously served as a military commander in the region, said a full withdrawal wouldn’t provide any insurance against instability.
In a series of meetings leading up to his decision, military and intelligence officials told Mr. Biden that security was deteriorating in Afghanistan, and they expressed concerns both about the capabilities of the Afghan military and the Taliban’s likely ability to take over major Afghan cities.
Other advisers, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken and national security adviser Jake Sullivan, raised the possibility of Taliban attacks on U.S. forces and diplomats as well as the Afghans who for two decades worked alongside them. (read more)
I’m not here to defend Joe Biden, not even close; I believe the man is inept, functionally and cognitively out of touch, and completely illegitimate. However, there’s more in the background context for these (and similar) articles.
The DC “conservative” media appear to be framing these articles to give the illusion of current conflict between the White House and the Pentagon, by conflating statements made long ago (before Biden made the withdrawal announcement in April), with recent positions. The actual statements of Mark Milley and Lloyd Austin to congress only a few weeks ago run directly counter to the claims in the articles. I would advise people not to take these articles by DC media at face value…. they too have an agenda.
Here are Milley and Austin speaking specifically to the situation in Afghanistan shortly before the crisis unfolded. {4 minutes, prompted}
.
Secretary Austin and General Milley did not hold the position that collapse of the Afghanistan government was likely, and did not claim that troops would be needed, and did not claim that Bagram AFB should be kept open. Their position, as demonstrably evident, was exactly the opposite.
So why is the Wall Street Journal trying to defend the Pentagon from the mess they created, and also throw Biden under the bus?
Joe Biden, General Mark Milley and Defense Secretary Austin are all equally to blame.
The Wall Street Journal appears to be defending the military industrial complex, by separating Biden from Milley and Austin.
Perhaps the DC media are counting on readers not doing their own research and not knowing the full background.
Sketchy.
“Secretary Austin and General Milley did not hold the position that collapse of the Afghanistan government was likely, and did not claim that troops would be needed, and did not claim that Bagrahm AFB should be kept open. Their position, as demonstrably evident, was exactly the opposite.”
In light of Austin and Milley’s new claims, are they inadvertently admitting to lyng to Congress?
Or, more likely, they are lying now.
You have to remember that there are a cadre of people in the Pentagon and IC (very few in number) that naively take and interpret intelligence seriously. General Mike Flynn was one of them:
John Chambers has a list of questions for the General, starting with why did President Obama set him up?
General Flynn responds that it goes back to 2014 when he gave truthful testimony in an open hearing before Congress about ISIS and the rise of ISIS and al Qaeda. He says the Obama administration didn’t like it and the Intelligence Community didn’t like it. He was seated next to James Comey, James Clapper and John Brennan, all of whom swore under oath that “ISIS was on the run.”
Flynn, instead, told the truth: ISIS was in fact growing and expanding and the threat is increasing.
Michael Flynn, former DIA chief: Obama ignored ISIS intel to fit election narrative
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/dec/2/michael-flynn-former-dia-chief-obama-ignored-isis-/
Normally, they like to keep these people out of power and locked up. However, when the narrative collapses they can be wheeled out in a “CYA” effort to say: “see, we told you so“. So, having a few Flynn types around, well muzzled, but back stage is a good insurance policy when they are forced by circumstances and reality (ie, the collapse of the false political narrative) to play the “blame game”.
Naive Flynn … agreed.
These guys would’ve been fragged if this was Vietnam
Look let us just cut to the chase. Austin is an Affirmative Action appointment and Milley is as a boot licker. Both are a disgrace. Both have no gonads to pony up and accept responsibility for their errors. Please do not tell me that these two General Grade Officers did not have a clue then or now.
There’s no failure here to get blame for. This was intentional. Xiden’s role, along with his bafoons, is to reduce the US to a joke, domestically and on the foreign policy stage.
Early on in their regime, Team Obama/Biden worked with the Muslim Brotherhood, American Intel Agencies and Facebook to enable the Arab Spring. The press was happy as a pig in s—t. The Democrat Party and their brain dead followers cheered. Journalist Lara Logan, reporting on the Arab Spring in Egypt was raped and sodomized by Muslim Brotherhood men. Radical Islam was acending.
Biden told Democrat anchor Stephanopolis he knew there would be mass chaos the way he ordered the US exodus from Afghanistan and it figured into his decision. So everything his administration did was planned. Once again we see the rise of Militant Islam.
Additionally, like lots of officers in today’s military, they do not understand basic military concepts such as force security, overwatch, strategic and tactical withdrawal, etc.
Further, the IC community, which is very good at violating Americans civil rights such as trampling on the 4th Amendment, is feckless at real intelligence analysis.
The boys and girls at the tip of the spear are good fighters; many of their leaders are incompetent.
Milley should face a board of inquiry and possible Court Martial.
Well put Sugarhill. Field grade officers of today didn’t get there stars for being good at anything except butt kissing. I was a Combat Infantryman in Vietnam for 11 months and never saw an officer above Captain actually in the field.
This is such a National disgrace in so many ways.
The biggest question of all is:
Why is there even a Taliban after billions of dollars being spent and twenty wasted years?
Riddle me that one.
Pakistan. They wouldn’t allow us in to eradicate the vermin just like in Veitnam and the Laos supply lines that kept the viet kong and NVA supplied and armed.
One of the proposed articles of impeachment against Richard Nixon was the bombing of Cambodia.
The Viet Cong/NVA did the obvious and hid across the Cambodian border.
This bombing was laughably offered as the reason Pol Pot seized Cambodia and massacred the population (see The Killing Fields).
Those of us who’ve lived a long time (I’m 64) have spent a lifetime listening to leftists who want America to fail. Vietnam, Afghanistan – same old, same old.
While imbecile leftists believe in something, RINO globalists like Liz Cheney believe only in money. The next war must surely be percolating.
65 and agree!
And then, riddle me why Wasserman Schultz was so so loyal to her Awan employees who had direct access to Congress to Pakistan. WTH were they doing?
I’m not defending the Taliban but they have been part of Afghanistan culture for at least 1000 years.
Our CIA was making money in Afghanistan through child trafficking and opium.
There was NEVER a plan to get rid of the Taliban.
Raheem Kassam is saying to watch him on Newsmax at 4:05pm EST. Something big.

I know we all want heads to roll..I sure do…this is beyond redemption.
full stop
having said that, what really bothers me is that both of these morons have just ELABORATED THE EXACT READINESS STATE OF OUR FORCES, OUR OOERATIONAL CAPABILITY AND WEAKNESSES
IN PUBLIC…ON CAMERA…DURING AN EFFING MILITARY ENGAGEMENT WITH A HIGHLY MOTIVATES DEATH CULT
WITH TENS IF THOUSANDS OF LIVES HANGING IN THE BALANCE.
WHAT
THE
EFF
!!!!!!
this has gone from a wholly irresponsible failure at the very thing the military is trained to PERFORM now into
clear path to inevitable disaster.
these two…two morons
in this day, just informed the death cult how, where and when to take the tactical and strategic position.
this is no longer about finding how this failure occurred.
this is NOW clear these two clowns must be removed out of all command responsibility and decision making.
they have TURNED a screwed up situation into a forgone conclusion.
we will watch tens of thousands of civilians captured, tortured, disappeared, and publicly beheaded.
we will watch the death cult immediately set up offensive positions at every single corridor.
and they will stream it live.
as they have been doing now…
for 4 MONTHS!!!
may God have mercy on their souls… these two are complete mad men!!!
Thank you for pointing that out “regitiger”.
While every one likes to discuss and try and figure out why and when the Biden administration you are so far the first to point out that our military leaders live and on TV told the whole wide world that those stuck in Afghanistan are out of luck and sorry about that.
Maybe they had some kind of reason for this I do not know but we are so use to official of this and that blabbing and yakking about business on TV or twitter or facebook that no one blinks when our Country tells American citizens and their families in a tough spot on some God forsaken piece of Hell on Earth and are there because of the United States that they are on their own.
See Ya.
On TV out loud and in pubic with all of this jerks medals pinned on his portly, well fed and very safe chest.
The joint chiefs guy looked like a kindergartner at his first day of school.
They are evil not crazy, pure unadulterated evil.
I had been compiling an email to one of my senators over the last couple weeks. My more do nothing senator. Earlier today i wrapped it up, read through it fixing typo’s and trying to decide it it was too deep and too over the top in how i felt on how our government is totally broken, from the elected to the non elected. That those people have to go, they have no place working in our government. It hit on many recent happenings, not a kind word in it in the couple thousand words it contained. Then I pondered do I send it or just give up. After a few minutes I hit send. Won’t do much good I’m afraid but I felt a bit better knowing I lifted my voice trying to be heard. He’s on a state listening tour tomorrow, but not in my area.
EXC: Joe Biden’s State Dept Halted a Trump-Era ‘Crisis Response’ Plan Aimed at Avoiding Benghazi-Style Evacuations Just MONTHS Before Taliban Takeover.
This is it. ^^^^^
Trump implemented measures meant to extract Americans from crisis zones.
Biden Admin. began to squash it in February and finalized on June 11th.
And here where are.
Oops, here we are.
The DOD also slow rolled for well over a year prior to The Big Steal.
Is there any evidence at all to be seen that they were preparing a proper exit?
Esper throwing Trump under the bus?
https://www.businessinsider.com/trumps-former-defense-secretary-says-he-undermined-taliban-deal-2021-8
Thoughts on Esper saying this?
Esper is another in the Boo Hoo I walked to the church with POTUS..club.
And would not support Trump on using the military to protect America’s burning cities from leftist mayors during the summer of 2020.
Deflect all you want. Biden is seven months in. This is his baby. He owns it. And everyone knows it. Period.
Another coward. Esper has been a bureacrats for a long time. People wants to leave afghanistan, but not the way Pedo in chief have done. You fckg $hithead, Esper.
Convince me otherwise, but I think it is obvious Biden is a puppet run by the Deep State, which is using his incompetence as a convenient cover to hide behind whilst they carry out their plans, of which this fiasco in Afghanistan was intentional, planned, and possibly even in cahoots with China, as China now eyes Taiwan as their next target.
Seems irrefutable. Chaos can now be imported once again to Europe and the rest of the world. We were warned just yesterday that we could now see a rise in Jihadist terror attacks. How convenient!
The total and utter failure of the US in Afghanistan has it’s direct link back to obumbles and his purge of actual fighting generals with political sycophants.
Austin and Milley news briefing. They have no answers.
I gues Milley forgot the the purple hair dye this AM.

Kamala Harris Bails Out – Will Visit Vietnam and Singapore – Ignores Afghanistan Catastrophe
By Joe Hoft
Published August 18, 2021 at 2:40pm
Kamala Harri will travel to East Asia on Friday to visit Singapore and Vietnam, of all places.
And she continues to shy away from the collapse of Afghanistan.
What complete cluelessness.
Snoopy….I found all three postings of your comment in the bin. Most likely, because the image was a “gif”.
Don’t be in a hurry to get rid of Joebama. Keep in mind what you’ll get. Kamala or worse, Nancy.
There exists a possibility that the Biden camp has been resisting the Harris camp with Nursemaid Jill protecting her old Joe. As an amateur strategist this could be exploited. Since the 25th amendment or impeachment or even resigning for health reasons would give victory to team Obama, Republicans need to keep Old Joe in there through the 22 midterms.
You think getting rid of Joe will make anything better? No, protecting him while making deals for that protection may be the best we got. Convince the Biden camp to purge the radical left while working with republicans who will take the house anyway. What’s he going to do when they lose the house? Right before 22 midterms announce a purge of radical lefties and a deal with republicans that the radicals will scream about and remind voters how out of touch they are. Then work with republicans to help get rid of all the radical democrats to further protect old Joe. After the house and senate change hands Joe will retire about a year later and Kamala will be stuck with no mandate or allies anywhere.
I know, it’s distasteful but you think anything will get better with Kamala? She needs to be totally undermined. The republicans will be seen as respectful to ailing Joe and able to work with his team after the radicals are purged. Jill wants to stick a knife in Kamala anyway so why not work with that.
Que Mala does not meet natural born requirement. Look for NanXi to suddenly remember that, and that she is next in line.
This is the rollout of the long-planned “retirement” for Joe Biden (more on that below).
The Obama foreign policy* is reasserting itself — helping to build an Islamic caliphate in that part of the world — so this flipping of Afghanistan is intended.
(*Recall that Obama was behind the “Arab Spring” that ousted relatively-friendly Mubarak and Gaddafi in favor of Muslim Brotherhood entities. Also, Obama was behind the “Iran Nuclear Deal” — that Iran never signed — which enabled it to continue nuclear weapons development; to help fund it all, Obama sent them pallets of cash. When the goal is to take-down America, a/k/a “fundamentally transform” it — an enemy of my enemy is my friend, i.e., Muslim Brotherhood / Iran.)
Obama (and Valerie Jarrett / Susan Rice), I believe, are actually in charge of the White House as middle-management. Middle-management for who?
For Xi Jinping and the CCP — which was behind the stolen election / color revolution / coup of November 3, 2020 (along with other foreign actors and enemies domestic).
I have a theory (and it’s nothing but) that the media criticizing Biden over Afghanistan is a tell. They wouldn’t go after Biden without authorization. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris has been disappeared in recent weeks,also a tell.
I’m thinking that Afghanistan is going to be the setup / pretext to lead to Biden’s “resignation” (planned long before the election) — for the “good of the country” or some similar BS.
They’d rather do this than 25th Amendment him out, since that would then be more likely to raise uncomfortable questions about “who knew he was unfit, and when?” — when we all know he was before the election. Biden was always a Trojan Horse useful to get through the election, never intended to actually operate the Presidency, much less for an entire term.
<the media…wouldn’t go after Biden without authorization>
You are correct, TW!
Very plausible. As the voter fraud heats up in the different states, they’ll need to push Biden out of the way.
The most incompetent administration in the history of the USA. But don’t worry, this failure will be eventually turned into a great success and the same fake news media that is mildly critical of the situation today (they have no choice) will be gaslighting the public later on.
Somebody needs to tear those Ranger Tabs and SF Tabs off milley’s shoulder with a backhoe.
I would gladly do it. He is a traitor
That is a mockery of people who really earned them and it makes me want to hurl looking at him.

Kamala Harris Bails Out – Will Visit Vietnam and Singapore – Ignores Afghanistan Catastrophe
By Joe Hoft

Kamala Harri will travel to East Asia on Friday to visit Singapore and Vietnam, of all places. And she continues to shy away from the collapse of Afghanistan.
What complete cluelessness.
Looks like even the Lying Susan Rice can’t figure out a half way decent lie to cover this one up:
This is the proof that Obama is entering phase 2 — cutting support for Biden — and that we will have President Kamala Harris before 2024
It was always the plan since Kamala could not even poll above 0% in her own home state of California before the primaries. It is exactly why she dropped out before one primary vote was cast.
The days of Constitutional succession are rapidly ending. Kamala will prove severely unworthy (she appears to know that). Then what? A national emergency will require the abandonment of the Constitution. Maybe only the restoration of Obama can address the emergency?
But think about the infighting if Joe refuses to go and Jill wants to get rid of anybody against Joe. She will turn to his old buddys in republican party to try and save his legacy. He has to make a deal and a deal with the right will be better for Jill than a deal with Kamala people.
I doubt she will have a choice. Too much crime in the family.
Those 2500 troops were needed back home to counter the imminent threat posed by the hordes of male Trump voters waiting for the right moment to pounce.
I’m taking over/under bets on when our military decides to either declare martial law (because “science” you know) or conducts a false flag domestically the likes of which we have never seen before.
They’re gonna have to do something soon if they want to stay as unaccountable and autonomous as they have grown so used to being.
.
If you wanted good control over the military, which still has some real good people in the rank and file, you would put in place several layers ot stupid and gullible at the very top.
Afghanistan has always been a thorn in technologies side, first it was the Russians and they eventually gave up and threw the towel in and withdrew from Afghanistan (and they were a lot tougher on Osama Bin Laden’s lot, than America ever was) and then the American’s decided to take over from Russia, after 9/11 and the American’s withdrawal was going to happen sooner or later, just like it did back in 1975 with Vietnam and Korea in 1953.
The reality of the situation is that technological superiority does not win wars when the enemy can keep throwing unlimited numbers of Afghan, or Vietnamese, or Korean fighters, at you, eventually there becomes a time when it all gets too costly in replacement technology, or men and women from your side, which you can’t replace, as easily as the other side can and that is what happened here.
Perhaps, the Afghan fighters who aided the American’s were really Taliban, but not the more violent type and when America ran away, again, they just reverted back to the Taliban, because that is what they always were.
For men in Afghanistan, they have pretty much everything they want, the women are subjugated and are not allowed outside without a man to keep them company and they have to all wear the Burka and in the home, the women do what they are told to do or get beaten or killed and replaced by the next 15 year old girl, or even younger than that.
Once the American’s left, it was obvious that they were all going to revert to the Taliban, after all, if the Russian’s and American’s could not beat the Taliban, what hope did they have of doing the impossible either.
I read that between 10,000 and 40,000 American’s have been left behind in Afghanistan, so I’d expect their future is not going to be very good when they get rounded up and beheaded, if the Taliban follow ISIS’s approach to instilling fear in the community and into foreign nations and with America fresh in their minds, i am sure they will be planning some sort of future retribution against America, just to “rub in” who really is in control now and always was, if from afar.
Perhaps it is time for America to mind its own business and leave other countries to mind theirs, after all, not everyone wants the freedom that we are all supposed to enjoy, but don’t, under our system, when the rights we once enjoyed have been stealthily taken away from us, by those in power and the elite, who march to a different tune than the rest of us, especially now that technology and computers and robots have taken many basic jobs away and left a multitude of unskilled workers who need to be fed, housed and provided with money, when they return nothing to the country that provides for them = Covid and those vaccines?
You have got to wonder?
The communist Chinese wanted Trump gone and China Joe to replace him. The communist Chinese also wanted the US out of Afghanistan, and with China Joe fulfilling the communist Chinese wishes and pulling out of Afghanistan, as against neocon globalist wishes to remain in Afghanistan forever, the neocon globalists who also wanted Trump gone and China Joe replacing him will now want China Joe gone because he isn’t continuing their beloved forever war in Afghanistan.
It’s ironic and absurd all at once, but that’s what the Uniparty has become.
Interesting. This could end up being a dog fight between the SeeyAAA who want Joe out and China who want him to stay. Joe may have bought himself some longevity by handing Afghanistan to the CCP on a silver platter, who will move heaven and earth to keep Joe in place.
We think the deep state is maneuvering against Joe forgetting about a possible résistance effort by China to keep him in longer.

CLOWN SHOW: US State Department Accuses Taliban of Violating Their Promises on Access to Kabul Airport (VIDEO)
By Cristina Laila
Published August 18, 2021 at 2:30pm
Are these people for real? It’s shocking how damn dumb they are.
The people who currently work at high levels in the State Department are overgrown children. If they thought that what Trump did was bad, wait until they see what will happen next in Afghanistan. These people are not prepared for reality. They live in a bubble world they created for themselves.
Huge public execution for the world to see how the Taliban celebrates a victory on anniversary of 9/11 just to rub our noses in it and Joebama will do NOTHING!
As I posted on the daily thread, they need an “event” to move onto Kamala. They got it.
This gives the lithium to China, arms to the Islamists, and gets rid of Joe.
I still think they let it ride for awhile. the more dramatic and wild stuff they can get out of the way and pass it onto some incoherent moron, and then pull a switcheroo without the population becoming so enraged that they storm the palaces… the better it is for the deep state.
Just finger pointing in overdrive. The generals as well as The Occupier and Cheat need to be terminated.
Austin would get double digits on an IQ test. He is so clearly a beneficiary of Affirmative Action that he alone serves as just cause for eliminating it nationwide.
Miley, he has an agenda that is in direct conflict with National Security.
What a bowl of flakes you get with Liberalism.
The Washington Blame Game is well underway. The President and the National Security Council owns this. The National Security Advisor should resign; the Director of National Intelligence should resign; the Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense should resign; General Milley and General McGonville should resign; General McKenzie and General Miller should resign. Collectively this group orchestrated the total and apparently unconditional surrender of the United States to the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
This will be felt for years. The Communist Chinese are mocking the United States. This will drive Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan to consider new accomodations with Communist China. This will embolden Communist China.
This was a NATO Mission. The President discussed this with the NATO heads two months ago. This will cause the Ukraine to question US support. It will also cause Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and Poland to question whether or not NATO will meet it’s treaty obligations. This will embolden Russia.
This will embolden Iran. Iran has gained. This will embolden other terror groups.
The United States is in full retreat all around the world. This is not likely to change under this administration. And I am sorry to say, the Republicans have no plan either. The United States is in big trouble.
So Biden (or his staff) just tweeted that he will be giving remarks regarding covid and vaccinations. The “squirrel” schtick ain’t gonna work. Besides, he has not only lost credibility regarding foreign policy. He has zero input of importance on any subject. None. Fool me once…Thankfully, people are finally waking up. I personally know two who were die-hard Biden backers who have serious cases of buyer’s remorse. Better late than never, I guess.
Once Biden publicly said 9-11-21 was the target withdrawal date, the mission was doomed because the Taliban had their timetable. Trump highlighted this failed tactic in 2016 because it was Obama/Biden/Hillary’s m.o.
Setting up the 25th. Biden has outlived his usefulness.
WSJ=Deep State CCP Whores. Milley and Austin are traitors and work for the CCP/PLA. Joe Syphilis Brains is an illegitimate President. Therefore anything he does is illegal. Anyone following his orders are criminals.
We have thousands of Americans trapped in Afghanistan, tens of thousands of illegals flooding across our southern border each month.
Our Presidential Office Occupier is giving a news conference pushing everyone to get vaccinated, condemning local governments for not implementing mask mandates, and promising to use the National Guard to ensure we can get our boosters!
Sorry if I missed something. I had to leave the room before getting physically ill.
Some reports are tens of thousands, as many as Forty-Thousand American Hostages.
Any commander faced with the situation of utter and total capitulation to the Taliban by his superiors would have found ways outside the pencil pushers back home to protect and get the Americans out. WAY before loading up the military first and leaving behind all that materiale! That person would be ostricized by today’s excuse for leaders, but he/she would have done the right thing and be praised by the rest of us, along with those rescued.
JoeBama will be loading up a C5A full of cash to the Taliban insurgent terrorists and in return they will promise safe passage of Americans in Afghanistan and boat loads of Afghanistan citizens sympathetic to the Americans. Joe the big guy will get a ten percent cut.
I said yesterday, this is all by design to remove Biden and elevate Kamala to the Presidency and Pelosi to the VP. It was one of the reasons the intelligence community allowed and assisted Biden on the steal.
It is almost like someone wrote a book on this and
*they* are following it
to a T ???
Line them ALL Up for Treason and , after the
? Boom? send them All to Eternal HellFire ???
Bring our Americans Home FIRST and NOW !!!
Let’s face the facts that General Milley and SecDef Austin (an ex-General) can not be confused with previous generals who headed the U.S. Military. Examples of such leaders could include Gen. George C. Marshall, The Chief of the Joint Chiefs os Staff during WWII, or General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower.who served as Chief of Staff of the Army after returning from leading the Allies to victory over the Nazi Regime in Europe in WWII, before running successfully for President of the United States. Men like these set the standard that the American People have come to expect from their top military leaders. Let’s face facts, Milley and Austin are simply political opportunists who simply mirror the incompetence of Joe Biden and his entire Administration. Biden(et al) are the people that appointed these officers to lead the degradation of our Armed Forces through the search for Right-Wing Terrorists and White Racists among the members of the active duty military. At the same time they were mandating the spread of Critical Race Theory throughout the ranks of the entire U.S. military structure. It appears that they were doing their master’s bidding, until the Afghanistan fiasco started to collapse around their ears and they started pointing their fingers at their political bosses in an attempt to save their own hides. Genuinely high-class military leaders, at that level of command, would have resigned their positions and retired from the service, to publicly underline their supposed opposition to Biden’s immediate and disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal orders. Did they demonstrate their patriotism and sense of responsibility through such actions? NO!
Setting him up for exit stage left.
Or they know Slo Joe is on his way out, and are trying to dump as much of their baggage on his back as possible, in the hope that no one will blame them after he’s gone.
I can’t bring myself to hate Joe now, he’s no longer there. I reserve my hate and disgust for his wife.
Joe is at that stage of life where he should be sitting in a comfortable chair, surrounded by people who love him, as he slowly fades away.
Instead, “Doctor” (gag) Jill, the one person who is supposed to love him, to look out for him, has him propped up and drugged like an ageing show horse. Because she loves being First Lady (gag-retch) more than she loves him.
This is a UK (and world) first. Biden was accused by the UK Parliament of “throwing us and everybody else to the fire” by pulling out US troops, and was called “dishonourable” for criticising Afghan forces for not having the will to fight. In the day-long Parliamentary debate, the large sacrifice over the years by Afghan forces was repeatedly highlighted.
If the bong parliament of whores is jumping on the bandwagon, you know the globalist filth want Biden gone.

STUNNING: Woke General Milley Claims Taliban Is Not Interfering at Kabul Airport as White House Lashes Out at Taliban for Interfering at Airport
By Jim Hoft
Published August 18, 2021 at 3:19pm
In another predictable development, the Taliban is preventing Americans and US allies from traveling to the Kabul Airport.
Democrats believed they could trust the 7th-century terrorists to keep their word.
At the same time the White House was lashing out at the Taliban for breaking their word on safe passage, General Mark Milley was telling reporters the exact opposite was happening.
General Milley: ‘The Taliban are in and around Kabul right now but they are not interfering with our operations.”
At his Wednesday press conference with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Milley insisted that the Taliban was not interfering. This is just crazy.
They have no idea what is going on or how to fix it.
Defense Secretary: We don’t have the capability to extend operations and evacuate stranded Americans
American men and women hoping for help from this Biden “Defense Secretary”. It’s up to real Americans to come to their rescue. It could be your wife in the middle of this. It could be your daughter.
”We don’t have the capability …”
What capability do we have? Clearly our military is a social experiment and not a fighting force. In that case, he should resign. If not, he’s lying, and he should resign.
With yesterdays address Biden threw himself under the bus, I tell ya!
Former Spook Warns This Is “One Of The Most Dangerous, Unpredictable Times In History”
“America’s Elites are trash…China knows it…”

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/former-spook-warns-one-most-dangerous-unpredictable-times-history
Right now it is every man for them self. That’s why.
They think THEY should be in charge.
Biden was installed for a reason. He’s incompetent and useable.
They’re not throwing Biden under the bus without a reason. Who wants to be known as the biggest idiot in the Biden administration? Hey General Milley, you would have been a lot better off with a Trump Administration. I’m not sure you should even have a job after you threw President Trump under the bus during and after the Democrat/Antifa/BLM riots at the Whitehouse. Milley creates a vacuum by existing.
Two things:
1. This is what happens in a communist country. No one dares to speak up for fear of going against the message of the political party in charge. Just like Chernobyl
2. The deep state is using Biden as a pawn. They can make him take the fall for everything including the rigged election. Then the media will say, see Biden was thrown out. Justice was done, nothing to see here audits aren’t necessary and are at this point irrelevant. (In the words of Hildabeast, “At this point what difference does it make.” Then Biden is disgraced and in a few years gets a book deal. The title of Biden’s memoir is: White House Crack. Bedtime stories I tell my son.
What is the difference between the Afghans chasing after the cargo planes taking off and the illegal aliens chasing towards our open border? There is none! Even though the corrupt leftist msm narratives pushed 24/7 are that America suffers from systemic racism and is a horrible place to live the rest of world wants to come here! How many photos are there of hordes trying to gain access to Venezuela, Cuba, Russia, China?
Suddenly the MSM, who have been carrying his water are suddenly, enmass criticizing him. Must be the memo went out to make the change in the Presidency. They are getting rid of the disposable sock-puppet they installed and replacing him with the next disposable sock-puppet in waiting.
Heels Up Harris, come on down! You’re the next contestant on The Idiocracy Game!
I believe the person chosen by harris to fill the vp slot when she moves up will actually be the person the deep state has wanted all along.
Big mike?
Exactly … it’s easy to criticize a braindead-prop who can’t spell his name without voices in his ear, teleprompters & index cards … what Austin and milley will learn – soon … the braindead-prop is a Soros prop.
Agreed. Biden’s purpose with regard to Afghanistan was to create maximum chaos, resulting in a massive influx of refugees into our country. Mission accomplished. A new war will be needed to rescue the 10,000 – 40,000+ U.S. hostages, delighting the neo-cons and the military industrial complex. Biden can be now be blamed for incompetence and unceremoniously put out to pasture (25th amendment), making way for President Harris to further our descent into full-blown communism.
Cuomo was the first useful idiot to fall. Biden is next.
And my prediction is China will “rescue” the American hostages.
