Afghanistan

[Iceaxe]

Afghanistan has always been one huge clusterf**k, but somehow Biden has managed to make it much worse. The west will be dealing with this new shit show and the terrorism that will breed there for the next 100 years.

So many US Military lives lost for nothing, and so many Afghanistan citizens who helped us now being executed and slaughtered. I guess Afghan lives don't matter, who would have ever guessed.

Biden has informed the Taliban they can’t enter the US Embassy in Kabul unless they are vaccinated and wear masks. :2thumbs:


To be fair, though- wasn’t Trumps plan to have the troops out of there months ago, but Joe extended the retraction date? It US extraction likely would have gone better for the US personnel under Trump, but wouldn’t the long term impact in the region still be the same?

It US extraction likely would have gone better for the US personnel under Trump, but wouldn’t the long term impact in the region still be the same?I'd say the "long term impact" was a forgone conclusion soon after it got started. This is not a failure of the United States, this is a failure of the world. We dove our dick deep in there while everyone else took a pass...but I'd say even with 20 nations armies occupying that country it probably wouldn't have made a difference...like a giant cancer spot on the planet, nobody cares about it. Lots of those around, actually.

Why didn't Trump pull out?...I reckon he wanted to, but the general staff undoubtedly told him it would turn straight into this. Perhaps after the "election" he figured just to let Joe take the hit. But then again, it's not a hit at all...nobody cares.

The problem is not that the troops were pulled out, but how they were pulled.... not to mention should we have been there to begin with?

My opinion is if you go to war you go to win, and once you have finished you own/rule the country completely. Afghanistan and Iraq should now both be a commonwealth of the US in my view.

The last war the US actually fought go win was WWII, since that time we now fight not go lose, and that's a big difference.

re "All for nothing but the lined pockets of politicians, bankers and weapons contractors.

This 70 year old agrees 100%.

The problem is that we have a standing army - it will find another "something to do in the name of freedom" (and no doubt with the best of intentions).

Biden said we had no choice but to leave Afghanistan. He’s right. There was no reason to stay there. The question is, how exactly do you get out? Just because something is necessary doesn’t mean you get to ignore the details. If you learned you needed an emergency appendectomy, would it matter to you whether your surgeon was a physician with a scalpel, or a drunk guy with a pocket knife? Yes, it would matter. But it didn’t matter to Joe Biden. He did the necessary thing in the ugliest possible way. -Tucker Carlson

China vows to 'crush' any US troops on Taiwan 'by force' and conducts live fire naval exercises in South China Sea after Biden abandoned AfghanistanChina (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/china/index.html) today threatened to 'crush' any US troops stationed on Taiwan (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/taiwan/index.html) as it conducts live fire drills in the South China Sea after Joe Biden (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/joe-biden/index.html) abandoned Afghanistan (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/afghanistan/index.html).
An editorial in the regime-backed Global Times lashed out at a since-deleted tweet by Senator John Cornyn which erroneously stated there were 30,000 American soldiers stationed in Taiwan.
The bombastic propaganda article said that if Sen. Cornyn's claim was true this 'is equivalent to a military invasion and occupation of the Taiwan Province of China. It is an act of declaring war on the People's Republic of China.'
It added that China would 'destroy and expel US troops in Taiwan by any means and realize reunification by force.'

So Trumps team had plans in place for Afghanistan withdrawal--Biden shut it all down.



Joe Biden’s State Department moved to cancel a critical State Department program aimed at providing swift and safe evacuations of Americans out of crisis zones just months prior to the fall of Kabul, The National Pulse can exclusively reveal.

The “Contingency and Crisis Response Bureau” – which was designed (https://archive.is/yRmoS) to handle medical, diplomatic, and logistical support concerning Americans overseas was paused by Anthony Blinken’s State Department earlier this year. Notification was officially signed just months before the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan.
“SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED,” an official State Department document from the Biden State Department begins, before outlining the following move the quash the Trump-era funding for the new bureau.
The document is from the desk of Deputy Secretary of State Brian P. McKeon, confirmed in March by the United States Senate.

Speaking exclusively to The National Pulse, former President Donald J. Trump blasted Biden’s irresponsible move:
“My Administration prioritized keeping Americans safe, Biden leaves them behind. Canceling this successful Trump Administration program before the withdrawal that would have helped tens of thousands Americans reach home is beyond disgraceful. Our withdrawal was conditions-based and perfect, it would have been flawlessly executed and nobody would have even known we left. The Biden execution and withdrawal is perhaps the greatest embarrassment to our Country in History, both as a military and humanitarian operation.”

Taiwan will belong to China before the end of the Biden presidency. Maybe before the end of this year.Maybe, maybe not.

China has been threatening to occupy Taiwan for as long as I can remember...and if they were to make a move they'd either take it with hardly a shot fired (civilian leadership hauling ass out of there) or the fight would be relatively short considering the combined military forces of Taiwan are virtually nil. Without the United States vow to "back them up" they're largely helpless. If we don't have their backs, no one else in the world is going to bail them out.

One of these days China is going to do just that...and when that happens and they have complete control of that island it'll be set in stone that China is now a military and political force to be reckoned with. They'll move right to the front of the line and they know it...it's all a matter of timing and if that move is made soon it's because they see the Mystery Oligarch Puppet Masters (MOPM) of the U.S. as being largely compliant...Biden doesn't matter as they know damn well he's nothing.

So invade now or invade later? It all depends on the political chess game of the Realpolitik as it is. If they move soon it's because they see the opportunity as being too good to pass up? If they wait a number of years then it may be that they see the U.S. rotting itself from the inside and it'll only be easier down the road.

Who knows?...it very well could be that Taiwan, like North Korea, is just a strategic chess piece that works to their advantage. I'd say if the Chinese don't take that island while Biden is calling the shots it's either really not important for them to "own" it or the MOPM is actually unpredictable.

Lots of moving pieces going on all the time. Lots of corruption, lots of sneaky deals. If they do take it I sure hope no more of our boys will be going thru the meat grinder...because I see all this as one giant smoke and mirrors show. I don't trust the people "running" our own government, let alone our so called "enemies". Waving guns over their heads while doing side deals under the table.

Look at this Afghanistan debacle...Biden isn't responsible for this...he has to be told where he is every morning. That's why he took off for Camp David...they told him to. They conducted a military purge leading up to and after January 20th and now no one knows what the hell is going on...they replaced the general staff with fools.

Funny, but it's not funny at all. So many feared a "dictatorship"...but now we don't even know who the dictators are.

China Admits Taliban Ties Aimed at Getting Afghanistan’s $3 Trillion in Rare Earths
In the course of hectoring the United States for its “bungled and embarrassing withdraw from Afghanistan” on Thursday, China’s state-run Global Times (https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202108/1231893.shtml) admitted Beijing has a rapacious interest in Afghanistan’s vast rare-earths mineral resources and snarled it was none of America’s business if China makes deals with the Taliban to get what it wants.
The Global Times accused the U.S. of profiteering from Afghanistan for the past twenty years, without offering any theories on where all the plunder might have gone, and claimed America is only worried about China going after those mineral resources because the U.S. is jealous:

I'll just log on to this computer to see the weather and if there's any road closures or other things that might impact me, and...nothing really impacts me.

I'll admit, it was kinda weird at first...having that idiot box on as background noise for so many, many years. But that weirdness subsided...and now I can't imagine having it back on. Granted, I never signed up for HBO or Netflix or any of the channels that so many seem to be obsessed with...all these shows that everyone talks about. Not even Game of Thrones...I was totally unfamiliar with it. Besides, that or any other show like Breaking Bad, etc...if I ever feel the need to watch them I'll go and buy the DVDs. Maybe when I'm old, bored and have nothing better to do?

Honestly...it all started back when they released Star Wars, The Force Awakens...I thought, "OK, I've had enough of this crap".

[Iceaxe]

So let's see if I have this correct... we fought a 20 year war to replace the Taliban with the Taliban.

Did I get that right?

I disconnected from cable a long time ago.
Just watch occasional local channels on the antennae.
Even all the local SLC stations are unabashed liberal hacks.

Yep. We cut the cord over 10 years ago, and never looked back. No regrets whatsoever.

In contrast, I go to my parents house where they LIVE and BREATHE the news 24/7. My mom is always fretting and worrying about this and that - Covid, Russia-gate, the next variant, etc, etc, etc. I've had to sit her down and firmly explain that it's ALL propaganda that is designed to do one thing - create fear. The media is in the business of peddling fear, and if the masses are content then they've failed.

And what is incomprehensible is that we are at the mercy of the tallybon.
If they decide enough is enough, they could slaughter 5000 troops and an equal or greater number of civilians trying to get to the airport, unassisted.
The tallybon is bringing in thousands more troops each day to Kabul.
biden has SOLD out our country to china, in china's search to control the global rare earth market, they now have a green light.(10% for the big guy)
Be interesting to see how the tallybon handles billions of dollars coming in, steadily.

U.S. Embassy tells Americans NOT to go to Kabul airport due to security threats: Warning issued a day after Biden said there was 'no indication' Taliban was stopping citizens during fumbled speech which was contradicted by the Pentagon

The U.S. Embassy told Americans on Saturday not to go to Kabul airport because of 'security threats outside its gates
The warning was issued less than 24 hours after Biden's confusing address to the American people where he promised to bring them home
Shortly after Biden's Friday speech, DoD spokesman John Kirby contradicted the president and said he was aware of Americans being beaten by the Taliban
It's unclear exactly how many U.S. citizens remain in Afghanistan, but estimates have ranged as high as 15,000
Abdul Ghani Baradar - one of the Taliban’s top leaders who negotiated the exit of US troops with former President Donald Trump in Qatar - arrived in Kabul on Saturday
He will lead discussions with other Taliban leaders who will construct the framework for how they govern the country over the next week few weeks

Biden told US Commanders Not to Send Out Troops to Rescue Americans Trapped in Kabul Because He feared a ‘Black Hawk Down’ Moment — It Would Make Him Look Bad

Joe Biden told military officials he was reluctant to deploy US forces outside the Kabul airport perimeter over fears of a Black Hawk Down-style tragedy.
In a video conference last week, the president also negatively commented on how quickly the Afghan government fell apart and told commanders he wanted them to be focused on beefing up security at the airport.
During the call, the president alluded to the ‘Black Hawk Down’ tragedy of the Somali Civil War, which saw 18 US personnel killed.

”To leave before we get our Americans out and our partners in Afghanistan out is hard to contemplate and hard to square with what we are as a nation”. Can he sugar coat any more than that?


Sure, he’s remorseful of the situation, and says the administration hasn’t handled it correctly. But, I don’t see him putting any accountability squarely on Creepy Joe and calling him out for this. A where is he putting the claim of the blood of soldiers on the hands on Biden? Where is he putting the responsibility of Biden to get the Am citizens out safely? You know if this mess was happen under Trumps watch, he would have been leading the charge in front of Pelosi to impeach. Again.

I think the libtard media is now in the process of shifting gears. They can see how bad this is going for Biden, and they are starting to pile on. The reason for the change of plans is they are slowly setting the table for Biden to step down....so that Kamala can step in.

They're finally going to realize their wet dream fantasy of a minority woman president in the US. It's so close now they can almost taste it.

The incompetence is astonishing. What gets me is that the media is trying to make the Taliban out as the "good guys"...saying their "mortal enemy" ISIS is to blame. One suicidal maniac is just the same as another as far as I'm concerned.

The people behind the scenes that are calling the shots have no concern for this at all. They're just feeding the underlings that are making money on these headlines and when they're ready, they'll just move on to the next thing.

The world is being run by sick, twisted, evil people.

The midterms a little more than a year from now is where the rubber hits the road...the results of that are far more interesting than anything related to Biden/Harris.

apne big difference about 9/11- by the end of that day, control measures were in place and we had reasonably good confidence that the mayhem and destruction was over. America was left to soak in and try to come to terms with what had just happened and how it ponder on how it would change our world. Over there in Afg, we all know this is just the beginning and it’s only going to get worse. With our feckless leadership now throwing the Am citizens and allies under the bus blaming them for getting in this situation, saying that they had been told for months to leave, and the the savages running amok over there, when video of American beheadings begin to pop up, and the hostage situations escalate- what is Agha
n Joe going to do.

And the results of the lack of leadership resulting in all of this chaos isn’t isolated to Afg. You know China is licking its chops and counting down the days it invades Taiwan and Hong Kong- just waiting to see how this worthless coward of a suit responds.

[oldno7]

^^^^
The part that feels eerily similar is the number of Americans at risk.
Right now we have at least 5000 service members surrounded by the tally bon.
We are at their mercy AND have an administration who is now relying on them for our safe evacuation.
The eerily similar is the current potential for loss of life, under the direction and "leadership" of biden.

The 2 situations are not starting out the same, that is true
BUT the odds of similar amount of US casualties is very high, that is what causes the punched in the gut hollow feeling.

What makes it worse is we have generals more interested in white supremacy and crt than saving soldiers lives.

We made deals with terrorists that then blew up our Marines. That's the reality.

That a great cartoon although to be honest, we passed that point a long time ago.

Well I guess we can all rest easy now...Biden just spanked the dude that did the bombing, right? I'm sure his supporters think he's showing "strength and resolve".

I wonder what we blew up...if anything at all.

In Response To Afghanistan Disaster, Pelosi Begins Impeachment Proceedings Against President Trump

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has announced Congress will be taking action immediately as the situation in Afghanistan rapidly deteriorates. To hold those responsible for the evacuation debacle, Congress will consider articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump.
"Good morning, Thursday morning," Pelosi said during a press conference this morning, which was Thursday morning. "We're facing a dire situation in Afghanistan, and that means we as Congress need to do our duty to hold those responsible accountable for their horrible, horrible actions. That's why, effective immediately, I'm introducing articles of impeachment against the president. President Donald Trump."
Pelosi says Trump being impeached a third time won't actually accomplish anything. But, she says, it will send a clear message to Trump that she doesn't like him, which is the important thing. "He didn't get the message the first two times," she said. "Now the world will know for sure that the orange man truly is bad."

Nice job joe, you know both in the US and abroad that destroying families is a great tool for you.

Joe Biden’s drone strike killed an innocent family of 9…

Family of 9 was burnt alive by Joe Biden today, including six children.

Exactly ZERO terrorists were hit during today’s drone strike.

But at least there are no mean tweets--OR cheep gas....

Yes, hanging them from Russian helicopters would have been so much better.

Yes, hanging them from Russian helicopters would have been so much better.I'm pretty sure they did that already.

The Russians weren't stupid, they didn't leave their military equipment behind when they pulled out.

Yesterday, in response to an article about the hurricane in the gulf, and how Biden and Harris were working on helping the victims of the storm, I made the comment that I hope they aren't planning on evacuating anyone, because they've proven that evacuations aren't their thing. This was followed up by a leftist standing up for Biden and his moves, saying that it was past time to pull out of Afg, and how we shouldn't be there, and asking me how much longer I think American troops should remain there.

I replied with saying that they were doing the same thing that Biden was doing - answering the wrong question. The question isn't - Is it time to remove US presence in Afg, but the question is- was the method and manner in which the evacuation was executed the correct way.

Leftist went on to praise Biden and the 'success' of evacuating 100,000 people so far, and they are basically done with all that is needed for evacuations. :roflol::roflol::roflol:

After several back and forth responses with this leftist, they told me to get with reality, and see what is real, and that the same military heads telling Biden what to do are the same ones telling Trump not to stage a coup back in January.

Then I saw this meme this morning, and it perfectly summed up the entire convo:

96895I've given up. I see it as totally pointless to have these "conversations"...I see them as ostriches with their heads in the sand and quite happy to be there.

A little more than 100 years ago we were still riding horses around. So as much as we've "advanced"...we're actually not doing it with any real progress. We've got kids going to school 10 months out of the year and they're still coming out dumb as rocks. We went from "country life" to being crammed within these cities with no elbow room and people are losing it en masse. In the meantime the political/social elite make tons of money keeping the constantly stirred pot nice and agitated.

My life is totally disconnected from all this shit now. I don't even want to be around people that swim in it. Sometimes you just gotta cut your losses, turn your back and walk away...regardless of the repercussions. Kinda like getting rid of the TV...it's actually liberating.

Byron, the problem is the while technology has advanced social science (for lack of a better term) has not advanced. Which is why we as a race are not fit to spread out amongst the stars.

[Byron]

Byron, the problem is the while technology has advanced social science (for lack of a better term) has not advanced. Which is why we as a race are not fit to spread out amongst the stars.Yep, and this is how we "evolve"? I believe that humans were meant to be on this planet...nature created us just like everything else that is or has lived. We're not an invasive species...yet you have to wonder if "nature" has any order or is just totally random considering we're the only things it's every created that are just tearing shit up.

However...It may be that big brained things such as ourselves are the apex of nature's creations...and she put in a self destruct mechanism. Which would help explain why we don't see anything else tooling around the galaxy.

Just for the record.... the will of the Ukrainians who are fighting and dying to preserve their democracy and country is exactly what we were hoping for in Afghanistan. Unfortunately the Afghan people didn't give a shit.
