Yesterday during a press briefing, U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley was adamant from his podium when he proclaimed: “There was nothing that I or anyone else saw that indicated a collapse of this army and this government in 11 days.” WATCH (25 secs):
Unfortunately for General Milley, today reports are surfacing that 23 State Department staff at the Kabul embassy informed Secretary of State Anthony Blinken of exactly that…. Kabul will fall quickly to the Taliban:
[Via Wall Street Journal] … “The cable, sent via the State Department’s confidential dissent channel, warned of rapid territorial gains by the Taliban and the subsequent collapse of Afghan security forces, and offered recommendations on ways to mitigate the crisis and speed up an evacuation, the two people said.
[…] In all, 23 U.S. Embassy staffers, all Americans, signed the July 13 cable, the two people said. The U.S. official said there was a rush to deliver it, given circumstances on the ground in Kabul. The cable was sent to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Director of Policy Planning Salman Ahmed.
Mr. Blinken received the cable and reviewed it shortly after receipt, according to the person familiar with the exchange, who added that contingency planning was already under way when it was received, and that Mr. Blinken welcomed their feedback.” (link – paywall)
General Mark Milley will likely be the first, perhaps only, person to get removed. He is positioned as the scapegoat, and that statement he read was almost certainly given to him to read by people with full knowledge of the State Dept. warning.
The crisis is not accidental. They knew this was coming. This crisis is intentional to create cover.
Our country is being run by some type of mafia.
A stupid mafia.
Yes, it’s called the Deep State. The NWO under Soros is behind this. If we do not rise up and call them out and stop them, we are domed to a Commie take-over.
Too late, done deal, find your closest AmeriCong training camp.
And instead of conducting this evacuation from a militarily secure and defensible Bagram Air Base with barracks and mess halls, our soldiers are literally “sleeping on the ground” and eating “whatever they have in their packs” at a civilian airport surrounded by beligerants with whom we are trying to “deconflict”, according to General Milley
… or are we trying to “retrograde”?
(I have a little trouble deciphering Milley’s Mil-speak jargon)
Smack my own damn head …
We must start calling, emailing and texting our “elected” representatives and senators. Time to put the heat on them. big time.
I was astounded when I heard that term “retrograde”. Another bullsh*t term to make himself sound so academic.
All while he utterly FAILS at the expense of our military and Americans now stranded there.
It’s called the DNC/RNC. unniparty. Class action lawsuit time folks.
It’s the CCP.
The Chinese Mafia
Communist Tong
Please. The mafia is much much smarter than this.
I’m more convinced than ever that our country is being run by the CCP and Joe Hiden and Kamala are their useful idiots. Our Pentagon leadership are selected BECAUSE they are pencil head academics driven ONLY by the Benjamins coming from military contractors. Do you see what passes for elite academics these days? Spend some time on a college campus. This is what happens when you stay in a bubble like any university campus in this country or places like DC, NY, or CA.
These folks are so convinced their way is the only way, and can’t imagine anyone else looking at their ideas and saying, “You’re joking, right? You’ve got to be out of your cotton pickin mind if you think that’s gonna transfer from paper into real life and be successful.”
Ivy Leaguers, for the most part. Most of them lawyers.
What a surprise, General Wokejoke is a liar.
I am a working man who has never held public office nor led men into battle. But I am now certain that I could have organized a better withdrawal from the Afghanistan than the Entire Biden Administration. And, you could have too.
You’re right. It wouldn’t have been too hard- remove all the nonessential personal, military and nonmilitary, then the nonessential equipment first, then the troops and their gear.
The brainiacs getting paid 6-7 figures could figure out the logistics. After all, they had 20 years devise a plan.
Not to disparage your capabilities, but the withdrawal could have been done better by a sixth-grader. That is if competent withdrawal had actually been the idea.
Incompetence was, however, the screen for the actual motives of destruction, quisling undermining, and cover for corruption.
A huge screw-up at this moment diverts attention: so the MSM won’t cover Kongress, nobody will track all the lost military assets to Iran, the involvement of Pakistan and Chinese fighting forces in Afghanistan will never be found out, the Taliban inherits billions of dollars in war machinery and buildings, records of high-level corruption will be “lost”, etc. Better than all, Obama etal can use Joe and Kummy as the scape-goats.
I caw a comment on antoher site a few minutes ago. 7 year old boys playing soldier know you get the civilians to safety first.
What I learned from:
Rin Tin Tin, John Wayne and John Ford, Sgt. Saunders, Sgt. Rock.
Any mom who has had to coordinate getting her kids back and forth between soccer, cheerleading, and band practice could have done better.
Old Military Aphorism:
“Amateurs study Tactics, Professionals study Logistics.”
Rejoice Child, your mom’s a better professional soldier than our CJCS.
BINGO!
But I guess if a soccer mom doesn’t use a term like”retrograde” according to General WokeJoke, she doesn’t have what it takes.
PDJT had a plan. The taliban knew he meant business. Tehn dominion broke our election system.
Not me, but nearly everyone else
General Wokejoke.
I’m gonna use that one!
Guess he was distracted studying CRT and “white rage”. How did this traitor make it to a commissioned officer rank?
Nah, he was focused on the jab.
The (s)he – jab
Methinks that after becoming the scapegoat, Throughly Marxist Milley will be experiencing “white rage” first hand.
This was planned by folks much higher. If Obama didn’t want it to happen it wouldn’t have
He rose to the rank of imbecile by being the best a** licker around
What would Xi do to any officer that deliberately lied to him. Thats what should happen to this traitor.
The Internet never forgets:

Look at that list of people who should be in jail
Bizarro statement.
A journalist might have fun getting the current opinions of the signers of that doc.
Somebody must have the list somewhere. It should be published on CTH as a reminder… to be remembered forever.
Perhaps Milley was too busy being consumed by his white guilt while studying white rage. This is a treasonous piece of sh*t!!!!!
Don’t forget that there was a “Stand Down Order” to root out any true Patriots instead of focusing on their real Afghanistan mission.
General Milley , when are you resigning?
I would bet that every one of those 23 embassy staffers voted for Biden, and will vote for him in 2024 if he runs again.
A lot of leftist ideology in government boils down to lifetime job security, pay, benefits, and pension.
Disagree with the second part of that statement.
General Milley, not only are you completely full of it, you are a disgrace to the uniform.
You are undeserving of the honor of command.
Dirt bag.
Kleen: very cool. looks like a two-part stencil. similar to Mockingjay. they should be everywhere.
Thousands of American citizens are stranded, trapped in Afghanistan because of Joe Biden, and he is focused on his multi-trillion dollar pork legislation, vaccine booster shots, and putting masks on school-age children.
Incredible. What a guy.
This is Obama’s plan
He and others are what you get when Obama did a purge of Military rank officers around 2012. Of course, there are still great senior level Officers such as Berger who is in charge of the Marines and Gen. Flynn’s brother, who was just promoted and is in charge in the Pacific. As a military spouse, I have witnessed some of the Military personnel kissing up to get promoted or a juicy position. Milley strikes me as that type of person and that is how he made it so high up in the Military.
He will step down soon and rush to sign multi-million dollar book deal.
I am sure he most likely already has a book deal in which he trashes Trump.
Col. “Eyebags” Milley must be terribly out of the loop of information — probably due to trying to memorize all of his new BLM CRT talking points.
“Eyebags”…..sign of heavy bourbon drinker (alcoholic)……
We had 2,500 troops in Afghanistan supposedly waiting to be withdrawn.
Then pResident Biden authorizes another 7,000 troops….that’s 9,500 soldiers…. They seemed to have disappeared into thin air….Where are they? ..
. . . And what are they doing if not rescuing stranded Americans as the British are doing. This is planned. We will find out later who and why. It’s likely because China has Biden hoodwinked. Quid pro quo. Do as we say or be exposed.
The global cabal incl. Obama, Blackrock and China are in control
of our government.
At some point we have to treat China, big tech and global corporations as adversaries as opposed to letting them purchase America.
The problem is it may be too late as we have treated them as allies as opposed to enemies, with the exception of President Donald J. Trump.
Joe and Jill and their puppeteers are nothin but grifters. The only way to describe this entire administration is FUBAR! They gotta go!
Yet think of the number of Troops brought into to DC because of the phony insurrection.
Is our military turning into show dogs with no bite?
You know this guy is a homosexual right? There is no way anyone can tell me this guy doesn’t dress up like a female and take it up the ass!
I didn’t know that, but Lootinnenttt Kernellll Vidddmannnn seems his type.
There is a price to pay for crossing the intelligence community.
Six ways.
From Sunday…
Funny how the establishment press and politicos on all sides are silent on his obvious lying.. he needs to be fired.
Fired by whom? The traitorous pervert who installed him?
We in this home are huge PDJT supporters, and have long been appreciative of having the U.S.A. as our neighbour.
We were at the beach today, the tide was out and we walked within 90 feet or so of the boundary between Can/U.S.A.
We follow the shenanigans “South of the 49” intently.
We understand the Uniparty. That said, this is getting really serious.
Is there really no opposition Party, no one “ screaming from the rafters”
As the entire Biden crew that is on display are incompetent buffoons, and truly dangerous.
Whether that be the Military,State dept, F.B.I, C.I.A., Justice or the C.D.C.
Cheers to all, and God Bless PDJT
When do we hang these traitors??!
Hanging is too good.
You’ll Never See What you’re Not Looking For. What a disgraceful shit show. Now we see how completely inept a “diverse” chosen and not a Merit based Administration is for our Country.
I hear the slogan “Diversity is our Strength” but I never hear an explanation of why that is so.
Smiley Milley’s got some splainin’ to do …
Mark Levin made an excellent point on the radio. Where are the 500 parade generals from both parties that endorsed Joe Biden. Where’s Mattis and Kelly who couldn’t contain themselves from criticizing President Trump, you don’t hear a peep out of them. See, like all professions, in Generalship there are very few men of quality; most of them are fat spoiled bureaucrats to the utmost degree. We all think of MacArthur or Patton extraordinary men; but the culture is a flock of chickens; while our eagle of a President Donald J. Trump was circling above them.
You know what else Levin said; “Today 20years later after Trillions of dollars and thousands of Lives the Taliban has more land in Afghanistan than they did on 911, 2001. That says it all about the political and military leadership in this Country, it’s beyond incompetent it’s a disgrace to the Lord Most High and humanity.
And like Levin said none of these parade generals will be held accountable, no not one. They’ll probably get some sick enjoyment in finding some Sargent somewhere who had nothing to do with anything and blame the whole fiasco on him; then put him in Leavenworth for twenty years.
Another complete waste by our government; just like everything they do for the last 50 years. Is it time to clean house or what.
I’m surprised the few good people in gov haven’t come out yet to expose all corruption. This is the time.
The swamp is down, whistleblowers should strike, release everything.
Wikileaks style.
“But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

Director of Policy Planning Salman Ahmed
Salman Ahmed: “United States President-elect Joe Biden has named another Pakistani-American in his administration, The Washington Post reported.
Pakistani-American Salman Ahmed has been inducted in Biden’s foreign policy team as a director of policy planning that the US State Department.
He has served as the head of strategic planning in Barrack Obama’s National Security Council. Prior to that, he served as the chief of staff of the US Mission to the United Nations and a senior policy advisor to the US Permanent Representative to the UN.
Ahmed is the Pakistan-American to be a part of the Biden administration after Ali Zaidi was appointed climate advisor last month.
The Pakistani-American holds a master’s degree in international relations from the University of Cambridge, and a bachelor of science in economics from New York University’s Stern School of Business.
He served as a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, where he directed research and led a task force dedicated to making US foreign policy work better for the middle class.
Ahmed has managed complex international security challenges on behalf of the White House, the US Department of State, and the UN for the past twenty-five years.
He also directly supported then secretary of state John Kerry’s negotiations with Russia on Syria between 2013 and 2016. He was the co-chair of the International Ceasefire Task Force in Geneva.
Before joining the US Department of State in 2009, Ahmed served as a visiting professor and research scholar at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, where he taught graduate-level courses on peacekeeping and post-conflict reconstruction.
I believe that is what we call a fibber!
Are we sure that this clown and John Brennan aren’t twin morons separated at birth?
We know it was you Fredo.
It occured to me today that Pelosi just aquired herself a standing army with the latest in American equipment and technology.
Supplied and funded by the American taxpayer but controlled by her and her demons.
Much like the French Foreign Legion, offshore and beyond anyones prying eyes.
I was wondering last year if we could end up with a gov’t in exile (picture Trump with some loyalists on an island with good security), planning the assault on the vichey regime here.
A well armed, division sized muslim mob that could be deployed by Pelosi to deal with it and all would be blamed on the actions of “Those darn terrorists again”.
This would explain a lot of the supposed happenstance of recent events as all those weapons are for SOMEBODY.
They need narrative cover to distract from the forensic audit results coming out of Maricopa County, Arizona, very soon.
KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE AUDIT!
Calling on Judical Watch – Tom Fitton
We need FOIA requests of all communications between Sec of State Blinken and Milley since July 1
Yesterday I was starting to think that the coordinated collapse in Afghanistan was the “Military/Industrial Complex’s” way of complaining that they were not getting their fare share of the spoils from the latest round of “infrastructure spending”. The government was spending trillions and they weren’t getting squat!
Today it looks like the “Foreign Affairs /Media Complex” is telling the “Military/Industrial Complex ” that they had their turn and it’s over. They want the bulk of the money to go to building the new world order they have been dreaming about since they were all smoking pot in college and longing for a chance to ski in Davos!
Of course that will only last until the “Intelligence/Big Tech Complex” decides to “Epstein” enough of the competition to make sure that absolutely nothing gets in the way of their 5G roll-out plan to know every thing about everybody everywhere, and to sell that information to the highest bidders.
We live in interesting times.
There is so much going on at all points of the compass simultaneously, I’m left perplexed – cover for what, specifically? Cover for bipartisan support in getting rid of Joe Biden and installing Kamala Harris as our first female POTUS, or what…?
“Never let a serious crisis go to waste”
– Rahm Emmanuel
What does the military code say the penalty for lying is?
It use to be you got about 20 years in Leavenworth, now it gets you a gig on CNN
These days? Probably Promotion.
The official one or the unofficial one?
Milley and his Deep State brothers drug their feet with TRUMP45’s withdrawal from Afghanistan….then along came Hiding Biden and they speed up the withdrawal to the leave the afghan “army” without support…..
and they’re going to get what they wanted…..more of the neverending afghan war….but they also are about to get American citizens massacred…..but they’ll get more defense contract money.
And now we have to once again, make a demand that this empty uniform of chest ribbons resign.
Lies upon lies upon lies. It’s the only thing they know to do.
Go woke, become the joke.
Thoroughly Modern Milley is only the first one who has to go.
Just because Milley and the rest of the Generals at the Pentagon are morons, doesn’t mean everyone else is.
The woke general didn’t see the Afghan collapse coming. Well, it is rather hard to see anything, when your head is firmly up your ass. Clueless and incompetent, he fits right in with this administration.
The Jimah Carter family is ecstatic. Jimah is now the penultimate in the list of presidential greatness rankings.
Biden, Obama, Carter is now 3rd !
What a blessed man to live so long as to not die the “Worst President”.
Hunter: Does this mean my etchings are worthless now?
They’re on sale this week. The Big Guy’s influence is waning, so he only gets 5% during the sale.
The framers really goofed up by not providing mechanisms for removing these malevolent traitors. The tree of liberty needs watering big time.
The mechanism was having a super majority of patriotic people of integrity. When that percentage goes south we are in trouble.
It’s called Revolution, it’s how Government of, by, for The People gets done.
“It is their DUTY to throw off such government.”
The State Department got that message but then flew in a regular rotation of diplomats to the embassy just last week. Absolutely insane.
The person who should be fired due to that message is first and foremost Blinkin. What contingency planning? The pull them off of the roof via helicopter plan? (Which is the make America look weak plan, and make Joe look bad too.)
They are all sacrificing these people for their nefarious plans. Even their allies and supporters are being sacrificed to the Talley-Bahn.
And who did Blinkin tell?
They had to pick up their bags of cash before Ghani fled with the rest. You have to declare it on a commerical flight.
Isn’t it about time for a court martial?
Our country looks like a ship of fools, maybe a ship of Meghan Rapinoes. Disgusting.
Why does Benghazi come to mind.
Tragic as Benghazi was.
IMO this is much worse, and the long term ramifications are unnerving.
Just how does the U.S. military and non intelligence community recover from this.
Many in the U.S. believed their military was the greatest in the world.
That myth ended this week, and the humiliation just started. The peace agreement ( surrender) to the Taliban will be one for the history books
Really…Russian forces in Europe led by ruthless Patriots of the Motherland would crush the new “ woke” military
North Korea will be getting brave now.
How would Hidin Biden deal with an escalation in Asia.
Pray for the decent men and women in uniform that are led by these imbeciles.
