Biden also said that people with mere guns couldn’t win against a government with F-15s and nukes in regards to second Amendment arguments.
Lost the Neocon pincer to begin the final military move into Iran and the Globalist oligarchs lost the profits of their heroin trade. Nothing to see here, move along.
It would be a pure blessing if China tried to move in. They're not that stupid though. Their first move will be Taiwan or Vietnam.
I wasn't around for Vietnam but the parallels to today are sadly striking.
Trump cracks me up.
Where was General Milley last night? Pondering which color lipstick to buy before going to bed early so he could finish reading his book on "white rage"?
And where are feminists in this country? I guess trying to cancel some guy on twitter for making a joke 20 years ago is more important than stopping the suffering of the untold number of women/girls who will fall under Taliban rule?
And the LGBTGABCSDSAD "community"? It looks like forcing a small-town bakery into making a cake celebrating their degeneracy is more important than stopping whatever fate befalls the fragile transgender community in Afghanistan.
The whole country has become a joke. We should replace the eagle as our national symbol with something more fitting. How about a morbidly obese Bozo-the-clown bending "Pat" from the old Saturday Night Live over a table, but unable to "perform"?
Adam Smith met Voltaire (I just read Candide) and Benjamin Franklin in France.
"On one occasion, Franklin was dining at a Paris restaurant and learned that Edward Gibbon, the British historian who chronicled ancient Rome’s decline and fall, was there, too. When Gibbon declined to sit with Franklin, a rebel, Franklin replied that if Gibbon ever wanted to write a history of Britain’s decline and fall, he would provide “ample materials.”

Good article from a year ago on how Trump was blocked from removing troops.

A bipartisan group of House lawmakers who want to stop President Donald Trump from pulling U.S. troops from military conflicts and overseas bases are using a once-unusual tactic that has in the last three years become Congress’ go-to tool.
Lawmakers from the Senate and the House have in the last three years sought to use legislation to prevent the president from pulling troops from Afghanistan, Syria, South Korea, and now Germany — unless the administration certifies that a withdrawal will not harm U.S. or allied interests.
It’s an unusual reversal for Congress, which historically is far more likely to seek to force a return of American troops, not demand that they remain deployed.
It would be a pure blessing if China tried to move in. They're not that stupid though. Their first move will be Taiwan or Vietnam.
This just shows incompetence and no planning at the top.
The last 4 years I always thought the Taliban and such were biding their time until Trump was out of office to attack. Mainly because they feared he would nuke the whole country. I think I was correct. Fear of crazy is a powerful deterrent. Not that nuking a country is good policy… but Trump came across as someone who strike first.
I am curious how organized the current Taliban is? Are they just a giant mob at this point? Or is their actual sophistication … that is yet to be seen.
It's funny but after almost 25 years of Total Republican Control of the Purse, we are in more debt than anytime in US History.

Afghanistan will have a "peaceful transfer of power" to the Taliban, the country's interior minister said.
Talks are underway to form an interim government led by the militant group, CNN reported.
Ashraf Ghani, the county's president, is expected to relinquish power shortly, according to local reports.

"Lies no longer last a month now"
Don't expect all the Establishment Republicans and Democrats who criticized Trump for "Withdrawing from Afghanistan too Early" to criticize Biden. Right Mittens?
