I guess I was wrong.

Just a while ago on another thread I wrote that the Taliban will take Kabul in a week, and that we will be re-living the fall of Saigon, despite Joe’s protestations to the opposite.

Maybe they will be helicoptering people off the embassy roof in 3-4 days instead of the 7 I predicted.

I don’t really care what they do over there. It is what the ones that Democrats bring over here do or intend to do that concern me.

If they won’t defend themselves who should?

I heard on different news breaks on two different radio stations yesterday that experts were estimating it would take 60 to 90 days for them to take kabul. Looks like 60 to 90 hours would have been more accurate.

My first thoughts is, who is providing logistical support for them?
The answer I am sure our intelligence knows.

But maybe no one is. Maybe the taliban is that good.
That’s a testament to how good our military was for twenty years, in a remote, rough, and very large country against forces that have over for decades of practice at asymetric warefare.

In general, I’d say the American people really don’t care about the disgraceful fall of Kabul and the Vietnam-like evacuation of our embassy. They’ve got their cell phones, video games, social media, food in their bellies, and a roof over their head. Oh yeah, Orange Man Bad is gone so they’re feeling good about that too.

Better get the helicopters in to evacuate.

Pretty much on par with the Wehrmacht blitz into Poland.

Yet, during Obama’s term they claimed al qaeda was gone.

The people I knew in that litter box always said the briefings included al qaeda movements.

The Taliban feared President Trump who responded to their crap by bombing their leadership first wherever they were found.

Joe Dementia they refuse to engage with at all. Now they are the Vietnam Cong marching in.

Prayers up for our soldiers. My SIL was deployed last night. Due to OpSec we do not know where to, but the Xiden administration already eff'n blew that.

I am SO pissed at this commie bastard Xiden and doubly so at Bush. Afghanistan should have complete destroyed immediately following 9/11, but these bastards think they can build nations when the people are are pedophile worshiping death cultists.

Its a good lesson for American citizens. With a few pickup trucks and guns, you can easily conquer cities.

Wow! The Taliban could do what the US Military Industrial Complex refused to do in a matter of days and they are WINNING. Guess the old way of fighting a war works. Wonder if the Taliban will “Nation Build”?
