well, lets be fair. Trump started the withdrawal process with his great Peace Plan, and since he refuses to take advice and did not believe in in-depth briefings, do you suppose for a minute that this debacle would have been less so under Trump?Quote:

Without doubt it would have been better under Trump. You do realize anyone associated with the US is now being executed don't you?Quote:

It’s hard to imagine the level of desperation required for someone to cling to the outside of a moving airplane in an effort to escape absolute living hell...
Elections have consequences and today we see what incompetent leadership brings. This election has come at a cost of countless human life and human suffering for the unforeseeable future. These people were fully vested in the United States. They trusted us and as a country we betrayed them.

Allegedly, this exit strategy was so messed up, caches of weapons, ammunition, armory, and Blackhawks had to be abandoned and left behind for the Taliban to take possession of.
Taxes are the price we pay to arm Islamic extremists.
So far...Quote:

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

Big Tech’s Role In Helping The Taliban Capture Afghanistan
It has been widely reported that Taliban leaders used Facebook’s WhatsApp and Twitter to help capture Kabul. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid enjoys free reign on Twitter with an account that has over 300,000 followers.

So, the question is: Will the Taliban and its members be banned from Facebook and Tw for inciting an insurrection? :ne_nau:Quote:

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Many are expressing concerns over how far the Taliban has managed to advance after Press Secretary Jen Psaki gave her latest press conference while wearing an Islamic Hijab.
"No, there is nothing to worry about, Alhamdulillah, Allah be praised," said Psaki. "The Taliban poses no danger to the U.S. and they definitely have not advanced as far as Washington, D.C. Everything is fine here."

Yep, right after they issue a blanket apology to Trump for blocking him on social media.Quote:

Taiwan will belong to China before the end of the Biden presidency. Maybe before the end of this year.

China today threatened to 'crush' any US troops stationed on Taiwan as it conducts live fire drills in the South China Sea after Joe Biden abandoned Afghanistan.
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 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.”

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.
I hear they have better chocolate chip ice cream up there. Makes sense.
