he’s actually getting roasted by a media whose only job appears to be to prop up the Biden regime

They're letting him off easy. Imagine what they'd do to him if he didn't give them a heads up to get their people out of there.

“Nation-building in Afghanistan was always likely to be a failure”

Nation building in any muzzie country will be a failure. Hey, let’s try somalia again, or maybe yemen./s

Nations hostile to US➡️Soros➡️Clintons➡️Democrat Party➡️Press

Nations hostile to The United States are actually running the Democrat Party and our press.

Economic backwater.…..

Hardly. They’re now making meth. They already supply a substantial amount of the worlds heroin.

Soon, with their Chinese partners, they’ll be shipping that stuff by the shipload, to Mexico where it will walk across our border

They could become one of the biggest narco states the world has ever know.

You may not like how the money is being made but they’ll be making tons of it.

The lesson of Afghanistan is the same lesson too many people haven’t learned despite witnessing one disaster after another. Never let a bunch of corrupt draft dodgers send someone else’s kids to fight their stupid wars.

The lesson is an old one but unlearned by half the voting population: Democrats will betray everyone and everything. Their sugary words are lies, their thoughts are selfishly evil, and their hands are always in someone else’s cookie jar.

I guess, the humane war. Just days after the victory 2001, there were reports of Taliban being abused and killed.
To win the war, you have to kill some people, sometimes in gruesome way.

Were we really there to “fight terrorism” or were we there to impose feminism and tranny stuff on a backward population? Did it start out as one, then turn into the other at about the time Obama took over? The only clear goals ever stated were “get bin Laden” and nation-building. One of those was no longer an Afghanistan thing after about 2005, we lost the other one.

One big lesson is to never let the neocons run our foreign policy again. Most of them are pretty quiet. What do Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, David Frum, David Brooks, Bill Kristol, and the rest of the old gang have to say? Trump’s fault or something like that, I’m sure.

Afganistan should have been handled in the following manner.

1. Kill the enemy and we did.
2. Install your dictator of choice, we should have done this in Iraq and Afghanistan, we did not.
3. Leave in a safe and orderly fashion, we did not and this is the fault of Bush, Obama and in particular Biden. Nation building does not work in a Muslim society.
4. If things get out of hand that would export terror to The West, call in the bomb truck (BUFF, B52s aka Big Ugly Fat Fu—er) and Specter. Wash and rinse as necessary.

It is really that simple.

There used to be a nation-building brigade here on FR. Thank God they are repudiated.

from my home page

I have been advocating for several years a policy I call ‘embaseees’. Embassy + AirBase —> EmBASEeees. We go into a terrorist country, clear out their taliban equivalent, then withdraw to very large Embassies, perhaps 3 of them. Have them big enough to encompass a military airbase where we can use it for decades on end to conduct anti-terrorism operations. As long as the ‘host’ country aint killing Americans then we let them have self-sovereignty. Kind of like how we operated in the Phillipines for decades. We could even have an intermediate zone that we patrol but it would be autonomous. Let them have their taste of freedom. A referendum every 10 years to see how large the boundaries of the intermediate autonomous zone should be.

Simple Rules of Engagement with Muslims -

If Infidels are present, Sunni with unite with Shi’a sects to enslave (physical, sex, monetary), convert, and annihilate all Infidels.

If no Infidels present, Sunni will turn against Shi’a until one or the other is enslaved or annihilated.

The rising population of Muslims over 1200 years shows the effectiveness of their tactics.

Paragraph 7 / . . . 7th century, whence they came.

Not "from whence."

Whence = from where.

The lesson from Afghanistan is the same as the one from Vietnam: you cannot force a Western-style republic on a nation that does not want it and it is a waste of blood and treasure to try. “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”-Albert Einstein.

When Walter Cronkite gave up on the Viet Nam war, he also essentially gave up on LBJ too. Thirty-three days later LBJ announced he would not be a candidate for re-election to the Presidency of the United States.

When LBJ lost Cronkite, he knew the end was near.

Joe Stolen has lost the large portion of the lamestream media that has been propping him up in his part in the “Weekend at Bernie’s” script. And things do not look much better for “Que mala” Harris.
