I watched the interview of journalist Laura Logan on Fox Nation with Tucker Carlson. She explains how the government wants this Afghanistan abandonment to happen just as being done.

Shock video: Lara Logan confirms what we feared about Afghanistan
By Andrea Widburg

Biden’s pullout from Afghanistan has been the worst managed event in American history. With Saigon as an example, the administration knew exactly how bad it would be. There’s a lot of finger-pointing going on now, but, at bottom, people are wondering if the unconditional Taliban takeover, including the trapped Americans, is a deliberate policy. On Tucker Carlson’s Wednesday show, Lara Logan said, “Yes, it is. This was what the government wanted.”

A little background: We’ve been in Afghanistan for 20 years now, ostensibly to “nation-build,” à la Germany and Japan. Back then, though, we completely defeated them and installed ourselves in power, only slowly releasing power if they’d fully embraced Western democratic values. And we still stayed for over 70 years, keeping an eye on things.

We never flattened Afghanistan. Instead, we imposed ourselves on top of a medieval Islamic country, including the whole LGBT madness. It worked for those already geared to Western values and those looking to take American money. The Afghan military, many members of which were brave fighters, clearly would never be ready to lose their training wheels — with our military being the training wheels. Some of you may remember this video, which embodies problems of both culture and competency..

That Laura Logan piece was right on the money. I highly suggest everyone find it and watch it. None of this is by accident or because of incompetence. The minds behind Biden took advantage of his mental weaknesses.

I don't buy that. I think it is just a bunch of incompetent people at the WH and DOS making the decisions at the urging of dem party leadership. DOD leadership is likely just a bunch of yes men...
