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.
I read the story of parents passing their babies and children ahead in the line at the gate if the airport. I just cried and cried thinking of what it would take for a parent to do that. I can’t even fathom what they must feel. I prayed for them but feel so helpless.
Not prioritizing American citizens is unthinkable. Unthinkable!!!
Glenn Beck’s charity is trying to put together a rescue effort. They need $20 million for personnel and aircraft. The were half way there in only 24 hours. No matter what you may think about Beck, The Nazarene Fund is an important work. They specialize in rescuing people in the hands of the enemy. It is dangerous and risky.

I agree,.. but cover for what? They’ve (Dims) stolen the election without repercussions. People are toothless ,no backbone or fight in them, they stand back and allow any number of human rights violations. Masking of young children top my list along with taking a jab as a human trial rat. All I can wonder at this point, is if this is a way for ol’ Joe to step down and Kameltoe and Pelosi to take over. Pelosi has been promised something, she hasn’t done all that she has for naught. There is a bigger picture here but Sundance you’re one of the few I rely on to tell me what the picture is because I’m at a loss.
“Cover for what?”
See Sundance’s article 8/18 about Lara Logan saying if the US Government wanted it to be different, it would be.
SD posits a likely motive: that the advanced weaponry was left behind in order to provide cover for when this type of weaponry is found in Iran’s arsenal.
Exactly as SD explained about the Russian collusion hoax being cover for the spying they had already done.
My worry is what next? It seems the 4th branch has decided the time is right for Biden to be sent out to pasture. Is Kamala really the next installation? She’s as unlikeable as he, maybe more. Joe at least had a lot of people who saw him (erroneously) as “uncle joe”. Even dems disliked Kamala which is why she had to drop out of the primary to save herself from further embarrassment.
It seems Obama used Biden to take out President Trump and then hang around long enough to sign EO’s that undid everything good our real President had accomplished. Each day it was like seeing Obama stick another knife into President Trump. Now our country is sufficiently in chaos and division for the next step to be unleashed.
What will it be and who will be in the WH when it happens?
I read somewhere, can’t find it now, that the problem with taking out Biden with the 25th amendment is that to install a new VP, after Kamala is installed as “president” the choice for VP has to be submitted to Congress for approval. With Kamala not being able to be there as tie breaker, they are worried they might not be able to get their choice through.
“Section 2. Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.”
She will nominate Obama as VP, or Susan Rice. Two weeks later she will resign…
Ozero is ineligible even for Dimm’s definition..he has served 2 full terms as a usurper…READ the 25th Amendment
The DemoCommieFascists shouldn’t worry. There are enough traitor Republican Siriaka’s, an Armenian derogatory term, to help install a true Commie……like Ilhan Omar, AOC…….
OR any choice….w/o a Senate president it is up to only the Senators present to decide ANY issue…including their Corrupt Politicians Act and the $3.5T New Green Deal Act
What will it be and who will be in the WH when it happens?
It will be the same person(s) that are currently running the country behind the curtain…who are they? That’s the biggest question.
“Who will be in the WH”? Who is there now? This nation spends a fortune to maintain the place. Tons of security, day and night. Historic collections of furniture and art. It serves as the instantly-recognizable worldwide symbol of our Executive Branch of Government. Maybe the reason that the Bidens have not really taken up residence there all these months since Joe’s installation is that there was some sort of agreement that someone else was going to be living there within a relatively short period of time, so we shouldn’t get used to the idea of First Couple Joe ‘n’ Jill actually living there for four years. Pretty fishy situation, I’d say. Or perhaps kind of a clue to what may take place in DC shortly on 9-11? Wild guess on my part.
Blackrock Partners LLC actually run the WH and the presidency. Booger Joe is just a lawn ornament
Question: who will Iran hate once they’ve accomplished their “death to America” goal? I believe the globalist goal is to destroy America quickly before the uprising that is fomenting actually happens. This is why they have implemented all their strategies at once. We pose a larger threat to them than we know, but they are fully aware of how powerful we are and how fake and tenuous their power and control truly is.
No one and I mean no one will ever take out all Americans. We might lose the US but we will never die totally. Count on it. Count also in the fact we will return to power. When I can’t say but it will be through our fighting power and that’s inside all true patriots. Next to Israel we are chosen of God and God never lets his children be destroyed.
Why would they need cover for this? They are never held accountable for malfeasance. Don’t over think it. The most plausible explanation is incompetence. If the goal is to give the enemy advanced weaponry, they can do it without humiliating themselves.
They may have created hoaxes in the past as cover but this was before the big steal.
I don’t believe they are concerned with covering anything anymore.
The US pulled out and left everything and everyone because they are no longer accountable to no one.
There has been hardly a peep out of Congress they should all be hung by the neck.
Or so China can duplicate the technology.
LOL any operational equipment the CCP stole by cyber YEARS ago
The plan has always been to install the odious Harris. Phase one complete.
Obama is smiling now…
For those who think General Milley is going to be fired. It’s not going to happen. He would tell the world about the coup. Remember that he told his troops to support the outcome of the election steal.
An accident or a bad COVID infection are more likely to be in Milley’s future via one of the three letter agencies. Sleep well general.
Ah yes, when you lay down with dogs…..my apoliges to dogs, everywhere.
They won’t just fire him, they will take him out permanently and then blame it on a Deplorable.
yeah, some white guy from a southern state with tatoos and trump bumper stickers on his vehicle!
lol
He is to “ver klempt” over CRT to know what was going on. What a dissapointment. He’s ruining the military!
Also I watched this video tonight, Start around the 35:00 minute mark, it will blow your mind/FF. https://rumble.com/vlffnr-false-flags-august-19th-2021.html
Retaking a well-known airbase, like Bagram, would be a textbook exercise for Special Forces A Teams. Going door to door clearing buildings and capturing high-value targets were the meat and potatoes of what A-Teams did in Iraq.
It makes sense to retake Bagram suddenly and quickly. It is a free fire zone. There are no innocent civilians to protect. It is defensible and the Taliban likely are trying to preserve the aircraft there and are unable to move them. President Trump’s excellent departure plan can still be put into effect if we reoccupy an impregnable base that is a thorn in the side of the Taliban.
It would dramatically alter the bargaining position for getting our People back and our self -respect which has taken a h it. Out by itself in the desert it would be surrounded by free-fire zones. With a large perimeter it would be a lot easier to operate. Checkpoint make attractive easy to identify targets.
I don’t believe the Taliban have the capability to carry out coordinated or combined arms attacks using American equipment. What we left is probably regarded as Booty. If the Taliban work like other Islamic legacy military, Booty is how they pay their troops. No Booty, No Army. That will work to our advantage in a military engagement to keep them from using their new assets effectively.
We have effective weapons for wide open spaces as well as precision weapons for high-value targets. With Bagram in hand, American air superiority would be a given in 24 hours. Their howitzers and cannon would be child’splay for CBU, Rolling Thunder, napalm, and fuel-air weapons.
Before you call this a “fairytale,” please note that fairytales only pertain to the past. No one knows the future. With the right Commander in Chief and a cadre of capable, non-traitorous Military from each branch of service. I believe it is doable to rescue President Trump’s original plan of exit with our People, a significant material, and our self-respect intact.
I can only hope that there are loyal Military who are thinking along these lines, just in case
No, sorry.
We want out.
We should have been out per Trump.
What you are proposing is exactly what the Deep State, Intelligence Branch of the US Gov, Wall Street, Globalists and American Fascists all want to do.
They are pulling at your heart strings. Think with your head, not brain.
Simply, the US is not the Policeman of the World.
.
Thank you.
In the wise words of George Washington (farewell address):
“Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government. But that jealousy, to be useful, must be impartial, else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defense against it. Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people to surrender their interests.”
You missed this part: “President Trump’s excellent departure plan can still be put into effect if we reoccupy an impregnable base that is a thorn in the side of the
Taliban.”
The base can then be detonated when the last plane leaves.
Who gives a crap what the deep state may or may not want! This is what needs to be done!
Are you really willing to snuff out American lives simply on the questionable premise this is what the deep state wants?
What the hell is wrong with you!?
President Trump’s excellent departure plan can still be put into effect if we reoccupy an impregnable base that is a thorn in the side of the Taliban.
Do you seriously think JoeBama wants President Trump to have any kind of victory, even if it means sacrificing huge numbers of Americans?
Torbarosa
Why would America want to go back to Afghanistan? Why did we go there in the first place? America hasn’t win a war since 1945. Why continue in Afghanistan?
What’s the benefit? None whatsoever?
Agree. The Taliban has not really taken over Afghanistan the same way Biden really didn’t win the election. They, like Biden, are an installed regime. My guess is by the same group.
Taliban army marches for booty alright. The KC and the Sunshine type of booty.
Shake shake shake.. shake shake shake, shake your booty!
I feel sorry for the people of Afghanistan being subjected to an army of sexually suppressed psychopaths, many of whom are foreigners.
Poontang was a big draw for all the losers who left Europe to join the Caliphate because they couldn’t get a woman. Nothing has changed in the mind of an Orthodox Muslim warrior since the days of the prophet.
Might be the way forward, but as for operating knowledge, “former” Afghan army members are likely helping in that department.
I don’t know how you think an AIRBASE with OPEN runaways 30 MILES from Kabul SURROUNDED by enemy forces is “impregnable”
This fool should be court martialed, What a wind bag.
That picture of Milley reminds me a lot of pictures of Vindman during the impeachment. Twin motives, twin looks!
I notice this prick has all the distinguished ass kissing medals, but 4 Bronze Stars??? I’d love to read those citations.
ACG = Arm Chair General
For valor in the face of incorrect pronouns…for bravery in the face of bitter clingers…
read John Kerry’s bio…IIRC he got a Bronze Star and 3 Purple Hearts…2 of them were self-inflicted wounds…Officers sneeze and they get a participation trophy
I suspect that the puppeteers didn’t want their fingerprints on any part of the administration decision and that this was probably Biden’s first major decision all on his own since his inauguration. Simple as that.
Biden didn’t make a decision to retreat from Afghanistan. The Taliban defeated the American military and drove America out of Afghanistan.
I wonder how many Americans, civilians or military, are being deliberately abandoned for fear of them being interviewed when they arrive back and releasing info to the media (not necessarily the MSM) which could prove once and for all that the Biden Administration is lying through its teeth and laying bare the absolute incompetence of this administration .
A catastrophe 0bama can’t allow at any costs.
Yep, dead people tell no tales!!
Gen milley should be fired,
Milley specifically and unquestionably is a lying POS. He’s doing his best CYA move but we all know he is part of the issue of this absolutely tone-deaf policy over the Afghan departure. We should be out but not like this.
I think we need to pump the brakes on all the conspiracy theory crap. The left are utter imbeciles. They are like the Antifa morons. They get inside and just destroy everything. There is no plan other than to lay waste to everything they can and steal what they can get their arms around before we all rip them from power. They just blatantly stole an election in broad daylight and act like they don’t know that we know. Everything they do is pretend. These are corrupt people, their intelligence is as thin as their grasp on power. The uniparty is about to get fired. They have managed to get man buns and MAGA folks all screaming in the same direction. Oops.
Milley Vanilli, obvious fraudster, has got 2 go. CRT and white supremacy occupy more of his mind than doing his actual job. This poseur is lip-syncing with the Lefties and Joe Biden. The only honorable thing for him to do would be resign, doubtless that will happen.
Don’t worry folks there will be an investigation ?? and a couples years from now we will learn that someone somewhere did something wrong and slap them on the wrist.and on to the next scandal .
Wash rinse repeat
special investigator reports are all basically the same
A waste of time effort and money
Reply from the democrat party; why to go Jo. Reply from the republican party; you just wait until we get in power. Same ole same ole. Cowards all of them. No one will make me believe that every single democrat in congress agree with what Biden is doing and the same goes for the republicans. Yet none speak unless its to utter empty words. Representation. To represent. Who? Themselves evidently.
its the Logistics 2nd Lewey’s fault…we will fine him
Over the years most Americans have become at least somewhat distrustful of government/agency officials and those in elected office. Today, no one can believe anything that comes from either one of these groups. Most of us have a pretty good understanding of what they’re doing. Yet to figure out why.
Where are all the military overlords like the joint chiefs of staff? Where are the letters from generals demanding? Aren’t we suppose to have in place those who’d make sure a tyrant doesn’t do whatever he/she wants? Isn’t there a safeguard from generals such as Milley the filly? Don’t even reply with the answer congress. In my view, this all is their making. I think the ones who have the hardest jobs are the secret service. Having to protect those who are destroying our nation one hour at a time.
I was reading that Afghanistan is the leader in lithium and that China, being the rare earth mineral leader needs Afghanistan for the lithium to make lithium batteries for electric cars which is part of the 1.3 trillion infrastructure bill. Biden handed over the US hold on Afghanistan to China. Lithium batteries are toxic and there is no easy way to dispose of them, so they are getting buried in Nevada somewhere where they will inevitably cause damage to people. This would explain why they don’t care about the people left behind there as well. It’s not even about Afghanistan, it’s about China.
$3T in REE in Afghanistan that PRC currently supplies 80% to the world and present in ALL electronics from consumer to military
SD’s last 3 sentences.
Just ignore “Tubbs” Milley. He is a disaster.
Salman Ahmed.Is BHO’s man on Middle East policy. He joined the regime in 2009 and surfaces again in 2020.
I suspect this guy is a friend of the Muslim Brotherhood and has no issues sending pallets of Euros to terrorists.

The Afghanistan Papers: A Secret History of the War
August 17, 2021
https://www.thethinkingconservative.com/the-afghanistan-papers-a-secret-history-of-the-war/
Just as the Pentagon Papers changed the public’s understanding of Vietnam, The Afghanistan Papers contains startling revelation after revelation from people who played a direct role in the war, from leaders in the White House and the Pentagon to soldiers and aid workers on the front lines. In unvarnished language, they admit that the US government’s strategies were a mess, that the nation-building project was a colossal failure, and that drugs and corruption gained a stranglehold over their allies in the Afghan government. All told, the account is based on interviews with more than 1,000 people who knew that the US government was presenting a distorted, and sometimes entirely fabricated, version of the facts on the ground.
BTW, it was no “secret”. Anyone who bothered to read any of the many SIGAR reports as I did knew all of that:
https://www.sigar.mil/AllReports/
This is Benghazi x 2,000! Every damn republican in senate and house should be calling this out for exactly what it is, a surrender and demanding this illegitimate president step down.
If it’s the Contractors like Blackwater, XE & mercenaries that are left in Afghanistan even if they are Americans, it is very difficult to have empathy for them. After all, the US has strategically outsourced war for profit to these guns for hire to insulate itself politically from the political repercussions of big mortality/injury rates in traditional servicemen and women back home. In fact this is one of the big ways the military industrial complex has managed to carry on its program of profitable chaos and destruction for decades. IF these are the Americans left behind, let these tough guys figure out their own way to get the hell out of Afghanistan…..they and we should never have been there to begin with. Surely they have saved up enough money and developed enough contacts to help them get across the border.
I’m thinking if it were them, we’d be getting them out speedily.
not just Blackrwater but many NGOs that were profiting off the continuing conflict in managing many things for the US government
“There was nothing that I or anyone else saw that indicated a collapse of this army and this government in 11 days………
most of what we saw indicated that it would be a lot quicker.”
Huge firearm and other military hardware upgrades for the Taliban courtesy of brain-dead Xiden and company:
Basically, a radical group has been upgraded from 1950s technology firearms to billions of dollars worth of 21st century firearms which are far easier to shoot very accurately at greater distances.
Cued to the 600,000 21st century weapons left behind part:
Time to face the ugly truth about Afghanistan, which President Trump saw and was negotiating the “best” situation possible leading up to the US Withdraw he was orchestrating. The only difference was: a strong China Inc. and Russia now back the Taliban and the current regime purposely gifted 1,000’s of hostages as part of their financial arrangement.
The “Taliban or some facsimile of them” were ALWAYS there in every stinking village, waiting for any visiting NATO troops to leave.
That was the real lesson of warfare Vietnam v/v the Viet Cong.
That is the current day lesson in every Muslim neighborhood in Europe and US v/v militant Muslims. The Militant Muslims live in a sea of civilian supporters who willingly or out of fear provide logistics, Intel and recruits. This is the lesson of all the terrorist attack in Europe and rape Gangs in the UK and Sweden.
Those “red” areas on all the maps shown on the MSM, depicting “Taliban Control”, were always some shade of “red” and turned a darker red after NATO/US troop levels dropped bellow occupation levels..to just secure where we are.
President Trump knew it because the Generals actually told him so, when they refused his challenge in 2018 “to win the war” when he first announce his decision to withdraw and DoD cringed. After that refusal he knew the best course was to get out and hold a big stick of physical and financial pain to all involved. In fact the Abraham Accords was going to be one of those sticks.

Miley is a traitor and must be hanged along with the many collaborators in this scam. Let’s not forget the $83Billion weaponry abandoned in the middle of the night bugout. First badmouthing President Trump, promoting CRT, Miley then claimed researching white rage as basis for 1/6 FF and now claiming no knowledge of Taliban’s imminent take over – yet memos surface to the contrary. These people, all those involved, carry the stain of American and Afghan blood that will come of this.
213 days.
Everyone slows down to look at the accident on the highway, how many really stop to help and save a life? This is the point we are at RIGHT NOW. Most of our society are just starring at this catastrophic disaster and eating the spoon fed crap MSM is feeding them. I can not imagine for one second our “Real Military”, the boots that always are on the ground can not be on board with this action. No man left behind has a very valid meaning to all of our brothers, and sister in the military. Treason from the top does not mean it will carry thru to the boots that actually carry out any mission. Will are military turn on a society that just wants to live within the Constitution, that this great country was built upon? Truly I think our military would rather turn on people such as Mark Miley, Tony Blinken, BLM, and Antifa. That is the true scum that needs to be eradicated, that would start to make our world a better place.
Gomer Milley is the epitome of Leftist neurotic-psychotic collective fraud.
And that’s his good side.
Milley owes his job to Mitch McConnell …
Four star General Mark Milley announces himself as the idiot Judas Goat leading towards public shaming and sacrifice to protect leftist elites.
Let him be removed. He is an incompetent boob.
What worries me is how close we are to the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Thousands of Americans still there; could the Taliban do something horrific with those Americans on that day?
General Pain In The Azz is lying.
Rules for radicals, the deep state want to bring America to her knees using humiliation and financial ruin-they are almost done and it’s going swimmingly.
They’re almost as good as lying as the Taliban! The difference is that one expects the Taliban to lie.
This Milley s/b fired, or his 2 yr appointment not renewed
Bust him to E-1…..first.
Leavenworth…..next.
Release him in 5 years.
He was busy studying White Rage
Doh!
Woke Milley’s statement then verifies that what Laura Logan said is absolutely true ……..this mess and chaos was planned

This is the same team that released dangerous terrorists from Gitmo to take up arms against us and gave up Seal Team 6. They are a malevolent cabal of traitors. General “Crazy Eyes” Milley is a traitor incarnate. What a dangerous subversive. He needs to be court-martialed and strung up in front of the Capitol Building. Every traitor involved in this subversion needs to be executed. This is the most egregious crime committed against our country ever. It is incomparable.
This was not accident; it is all by design to destroy our standing in the world and undermine American credibility. You don’t leave thousands of American citizens stranded without hope and billions of dollars of military equipment behind by accident. You need to comprehend this was all done with malicious intent. That’s why Biden and the rest of these arch-villains don’t really care – it is their desired outcome. They told us they planned for all contingencies and this is what they wanted.
Of course he didn’t see it coming, he was too busy looking for mythical white racism and welcoming transgenders.
Looks like the real coup is about to unfold only way this gets resolved is heads need to roll and not stranded Americans head, Military is in disarray no one seems to have any authority and the crack in comand needs to get filled soon.
The liars are on red alert since this disgraceful exit from Afghanistan started. The entire biden administration is incompetent! I feel for the people left in Afghanistan. They will never be fully evacuated and that means many will die! Such a disgrace!!!!
Maybe a little bit different take on the abandoned military equipment. We know Odumbo and the Soreass crowd are pulling all the strings. No secret that crowd wants to see Isreal destroyed. What a great way to equip Iran and all of its functional terrorist organizations with top notch military equipment for free. No US military personnel to stop the equipment loss and not a dime spent to fully equip Iran’s ongoing quest to destroy Israel
You’ve obviously spent a lifetime sucking up the fake news about “America’s Closest Ally” ( TM. )
You know, the one that sucks even more out of your government every day than millions of injured, unemployed, and mentally damaged vets do in a lifetime.
The same one that murdered hundreds of US servicemen on the Liberty, and that waste no time in stealing all your military secrets, and that will drop you in a heartbeat once they have destroyed your nation, as they are busy doing every day, as they stand in their massed hordes around your senile “president.”
The Liberty didn’t comply with identification requests from Israel. Israel thought they had to defend themselves from a ship in their waters. Back then, electronics weren’t what they are now. Your obvious ignorance about the role Israel plays as an ally, let alone Military history let’s me know you’re just another anti-Semite who KNOWS NOTHING but think you do.
I’m a Navy Veteran who DOES know what I’m talking about. Been there, done that. Have the t-shirt and the ribbons.
And remember that Israel had been through 2 horrendous wars with neighboring countries who tried to attack without warning. It didn’t work out for them.
You might want to ask what type of mission the Liberty was on and at who’s directive. The answer is disgusting.
And for your information, Israel IS our ONLY true ally in the region on multiple levels. But with America’s Biden and Israel’s Bennet, that’s probably going to go the tubes, and their intel with it.
Jeez! Its always about Israel. Enough with them. When you think of all the billions poured into that pit and see how little you get in return… like stolen plutonium and spies like Pollard, who needs “enemies”?
Well… maybe if you’d been reading intelligence briefings instead of books about Critical Race Theory and Angry White Males you’d have seen this coming.
Ann Coulter once said Osama Bin Laden finally offered liberals an opportunity to go to war against religious fundamentalists and they didn’t want to fight it. The Taliban has given them an actual insurrection and they don’t want to deal with it.
