Posted on 08/16/2021 11:11:21 AM PDT by navysealdad

President Joe Biden refused to be swayed by his top generals to keep 3,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, instead ordering their swift removal, a stubbornness that "paved the way for havoc" in the country, reports Politico.

The move ultimately led to Taliban forces taking Kabul and declaring the war "over" and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani fleeing the country Sunday

article: "Afghan President Ashraf Ghani fleeing the country Sunday"

Other sources say he was fleeing in a helicopter stuffed to the brim with American money. Seriously. No joke.

So Politico has turned on Dementia Joe. No surprise there.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Biden resigns today.

When you elect a corrupt, senile, statist, canoedouche who is unable to assemble, collate, and process enough data to choose between a butterscotch pudding cup and a chocolate pudding cup...

And you put them in charge of the US military and its nuclear arsenal...you own it. ALL of it.

Granted, Biden never made this decision, IMO. But he is the one they are trying to sacrifice because they all want him gone (except for those he is fronting for, because in the future, they won’t be able to pin the next debacle on him.

I would. There’s not a dime of smart money that’s betting on his resignation. This man, even dementia-addled, is 100% hubris.

Likely true. The CIA transferred millions to Karzai monthly in cardboard boxes.

I’m dreaming of course and need to give some thought to getting what I wish for but when does this failed administration resign?

Afghanistan in shambles
No border control at all
Runaway inflation
Threates to liberty with worthless vaccine injection
Complete cluster fluck of covid response
42% increase in food stamps by decree
Global threats unresolved
High gasoline prices
Shortages of all manner of things
Failed military leadership

I don’t need to go on do I?

China owns Biden. China wanted Afghanistan. Biden laid it at China’s feet as he was ordered to do.

Good...I wouldn’t listen to them either. Being Woke and war-mongers is not a combo I like in my military advisors.

At least one side of it. That is the word.

Biden has always been a stupid but arrogant ‘man’ (and I use the term loosely). He lies with abandon about his ‘accomplishments’, and about anyone or anything if it can possibly make him look better and pump up his ego. I guarantee that when he starts getting criticized he will lash out viciously in response - as do most narcissists.

Unfortunately, he is emblematic of the political class. We need a thorough house cleaning.
