The Taliban is now better armed than almost every Nato country
The Biden administration has pulled off a military-political defeat that gets worse the more you look at it

WASHINGTON, D.C.—With Americans and Afghan allies still trapped in Afghanistan, Republican politicians are vowing to respond by getting "real mad and stuff" about it.

"Oh yeah, you bet I'm mad! I'm spittin' mad, I sure am," said Senator Lindsey Graham. "And let me tell y'all, Biden wouldn't like ol' Lindsey when he's angry! I'll make him pay for what he done to our boys in Afghanistan—you know—by being really mad at him."

Sources say Senator Graham and others may even pound their fists on a podium while talking about it, or raise their voices slightly, but not enough to break the rules of decorum. They will then send a bunch of angry emails to their email lists saying how angry they are—with links to donate to their reelection campaigns.

Senator Mitch Mcconnell also weighed in. "Yup, I'm purdy mad too," he said at a fundraising dinner while wiping some caviar from his neck which was also his chin. "Biden sure will be sorry when he answers to ol' Mitch!"

Republicans vow to stay really mad until the next news cycle makes everyone forget about all this.

The three star General also can't spell "Hero's" properly. And she used the possessive instead of the correct plural spelling.

Must have an MBA.

One must assume she was promoted because of something other than being objectively qualified for the job.

Even more telling. If you have a gathering that large of US soldiers, you are going to see a substantial number of Blacks.

The first thing I noticed is bullpup rifles - US military doesn't field anything like that.

Afghan Interpreter Who Helped Rescue Biden in 2008 Left Behind After U.S. Exit

Mohammed, stranded in Afghanistan and hiding from the Taliban, makes a White House appeal: ‘Don’t forget me here’

The White House responded to a WSJ story about an Afghan interpreter for the U.S. Army, who in 2008 helped rescue then-Sen. Joe Biden and others during a snowstorm in Afghanistan. Mohammed was unable to leave the country before the U.S. exit and White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said on Tuesday that his service would be honored.

Thirteen years ago, Afghan interpreter Mohammed helped rescue then-Sen. Joe Biden and two other senators stranded in a remote Afghanistan valley after their helicopter was forced to land in a snowstorm. Now, Mohammed is asking President Biden to save him.

“Hello Mr. President: Save me and my family,” Mohammed, who asked not to use his full name while in hiding, told The Wall Street Journal as the last Americans flew out of Kabul on Monday. “Don’t forget me here.”

It’s time that we stop policing the globe, stop occupying other countries, and stop waging endless wars.

That’s not what’s going to happen, of course.

Good essay though.

Afghan chaos undercuts Biden's promise of competence

https://notthebee.com/article/report-the-biden-administration-said-it-droned-an-isis-terrorist-but-it-was-actually-just-an-aid-worker

The Biden administration last month said it had fired on and killed what was believed to be an ISIS associate driving a car full of explosives in Afghanistan; the strike was symbolic for being the last missile fired by the U.S. over the course of its 20 years in Afghanistan. Yet a bombshell New York Times report argues that the drone strike killed not a terrorist but a worker for a U.S. aid group

This also undermines any "promise of competence".

Anything they touch immediately turns into shit. It's like a reverse King Midas. It's almost comical.

It's almost comical.

What do you mean "almost"?

We're in clown world. We've been in it for 20 years. Our government has no compunction about lying, what's funny is people still believe it.

Where's that weapons of mass destruction program in Iraq? I thought that was the lie that would ultimately bring the government down, but NOPE. The lies will just get bigger and bigger until nobody puts up with it anymore. We have an entirely illegitimate government - people just don't recognize it yet.

Our media lies to us, our government lies to us, our intelligence agencies lie to us, our DOJ lies to us. This is because they are blatant criminals. If they told the truth, there'd be bodies hanging from lampposts tomorrow. I'm used to this, just feed them more rope. Truth is treason in the empire of lies. Well, I guess I'm a traitor.

I'm seriously amazed people still have any faith in our government, that they believe them at this point. How can anybody believe anything they say? Biden is the most popular presidential candidate as a percentage of the eligible vote in all of US history. Do you really think that is true? A man that couldn't get 50 people to show up to a campaign event? It's fucking hilarious.

No, it's entirely comical.

What did people EXPECT to happen?

We have a completely corrupt, incompetent, establishment, that couldn't give a FUCK about the people in Afghanistan and have been fighting a war for 20 years with NO intention of winning it, in order to rake in government contracts and make money.

We allow these fucking mother fuckers to do this. You want this kind of crap to stop? Get rid of the assholes in power or it's going to continue.

They have the support of about half of the population.

That's the real problem.

No, they don't have support of 1/2 the population.

It might be 20% of the population. Do you know anybody that would say "yes, I approve of my government, and I'm happy with what they are doing"?

Force is what keeps our government in power. It's stick only, there's no carrot for most people.

"Now I'm saying, ‘How can they take this equipment?' And I guarantee that China and Russia already have our Apache helicopters and they're taking them apart to find out exactly how they're made. They're the best in the world by far. And they're taking them apart so they can make the exact same equipment. They're very good at that. It's a disgrace.

FINALLY THERE IS AN ADULT IN THE ROOM!

https://spectatorworld.com/topic/joe-biden-presidency-afghanistan-free-fall/

Biden’s presidency has a very real chance of completely foundering within its first year. After a promising start where he inherited a vaccination process that was already in progress, albeit briefly, under Trump, his vaccine strategy has stalled to the point of him now demanding mandates on private businesses, a step he assured the electorate he would not take. Last Friday, an FDA panel bucked Biden’s booster rollout program, which was slated to begin this week.

That was one of many self-inflicted wounds that Biden suffered at the end of last week as he took off for the Delaware coast for a long weekend of bike-riding and ignoring reporters. In the span of that single afternoon, the Pentagon also revealed that a retaliatory drone strike for the deaths of 13 US service-members at Kabul airport did not kill any Isis-K terrorists, as Biden and his State Department had claimed, but instead killed an innocent US-linked aid worker, as well as seven children. Neither Biden nor his press secretary Jen Psaki have answered questions on this matter. Their strategic silence is all we need to evaluate how they think this looks – and they are correct.

Along with the self-imposed Afghanistan debacle, which has created an enormous refugee crisis in a foreign region, Biden has caused another one on our southern border. Drone footage and photos splashed all over social media this weekend showed thousands of migrants, some believed to be Haitian, crossing the Rio Grande river into Del Rio, Texas, unabated. They had to be corralled under the Del Rio Bridge, with several even crafting makeshift tents and shelters.

Biden promised that America would be back. Instead we’re getting his back, as he turns his away from the microphone every time one is placed in front of him. His ‘strategy’ has also not helped with allies, as France recalled their ambassador over a secret deal between the US and Australia that saw Washington renege (according to the French) on an agreement to sell nuclear submarine technology to them and not the Aussies (crikey!). I’m not going to pretend I understand all the particulars of why the French are upset with us this time, but recalling an ambassador sure sounds serious for an administration that prided itself on being the adult on the world stage.
