On Thursday, former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Michael Hayden retweeted an image that explicitly compared supporters of President Donald Trump to the Taliban, as reported by Fox News.
Hayden, a retired four-star general with the Air Force, who served as CIA Director from 2006 to 2009, retweeted another account which first posted the image: The tweet in question depicted a split-screen image with Islamic terrorists riding in a convoy of pickup trucks and waving their flags, alongside a caravan of Trump supporters in pickup trucks waving American flags. The caption read: “Their Taliban. Our Taliban.”
The comparison comes less than a week after the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan’s capital city of Kabul, effectively toppling the Western-backed government and reclaiming power. The speed with which they retook Afghanistan, as well as the subsequent chaos that has ensued in the days since, has led to universal condemnation of the Biden Administration’s poor handling of the withdrawal of American forces from the war-torn country. Thousands of American citizens remain trapped in the country after the Taliban announced that they had completely taken over the Hamid Karzai International Airport.

The 1st difference is the taliban are all acting preachers of the same reeligion, and count their victories in the enlargement of their religious empire, indifferrent to the nation’s boundariies they violate.
Whereas, the 70 million Trump supporters of the rightful president, already live in a defined nation, and like it. They may be of different religions and creeds, but agreethat the Constitution is law, for everybody, not a select few. ( no pigs here from animal farm.)
We do not treat men or women as different classes, we are alll citizens, with equal constitutional rights.
We agree that the question is: “What is good for the country?” Not “What I get from the government, now?”
Your hagwoman called us deplorable, because we would not accept her as a leader of our country.
Half of them will join us and bring half of their arms with them. :)
Hypothetically speaking of course.
By God, he better hope we are not. If we are his head will roll.
There will be deserters who will bring their training, skills and whatever weapons they can get and join.
My other concern is ELINT and how that will be used against us.
You know we're all targeted on this website.
And trash what they can’t carry.
Hypothetically. :)
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Haven’t you learned by now? There aren’t two parties in the USA!
I have to admit, there are probably more than a few Trump supporters that wouldn’t mind taking care of things in Afghanistan - provided the dems didn’t slap a bunch of useless rules on them.
On its face, that sounds like a pretty good idea.
With stupidity like that at the highest levels there’s no wonder why Afghanistan turned out to be such a mess.
Putting 80 million people in a database is one thing.
Going door to door to arrest 80 million people is another.
I don’t want all this to happen. But if it does, nukes and jet fighters won’t be the deciding factor in such a scenario. It will come down to ideology and values, just like the first Civil War.
People like Joe Stolen Xiden greatly misunderstand things. The Aghanistan debacle demonstrates this
Well then, that means we have 80 million Taliban in the USA.
This Michael Hayden is an idiot. He supports CRT as a foundation for foreign policy. No America exceptionalism here according to Hayden.
We are coming for you Hayden! Put on a burkha and hide Hayden!
Allahwahoo Trumpbar!
No sane person wants a war.
No mention of BLM, or ANTIFA?, Of course not this Sock Cucker is getting paid by the word, or looking for a full time gig with CNN / MSNBC. Pro-tip buy futures in Piano Wire.
We are dealing with insane people. We should act responsibly.
I think the word you were looking for responsibly is accordingly.
