While Biden Adminstration tries rushes 3,000 Marines to Afghanistan in the hopes of protecting the U.S. Embassy, it is my personal belief that the Embassy is already lost and surrounded!
As I told a friend the other day, "The only thing that is factual in Afghanistan is loyalty to one's clan." and with the Taliban less that 50 miles from the capital, "How long do we expect Government Officials and the laughable Afghan Security Forces to hold on to the fantasy that they can stop the Taliban?" With 1,000s of refugees are currently flooding into Kabul daily expect the security situation to crumble as the Taliban has lay siege to the city having already cut power and nearly all communications.
With all that said, "How long before those in besieged Capital City turn on Westerners, lay siege to the American Embassy and other interest and take hostages to be used as bargaining chips once the city falls?"
For those of us here who are old enough to remember Tehran 1979 this is truly possible as Islamic Security Forces, who were originally protecting the American Embassy lead protesters in the capture of American Citizens for 444 days.
For those here who say that Trump had also set a withdrawal date to end 20 years of war. Trump's plan called for a phased withdrawal of Troops as long as certain conditions were met which included the Taliban laying down their arms and taking part in a unity government.
Once the Biden Administration came in they made the choice to totally abandon Afghanistan with no conditions for the Taliban or protections for American Troops, Contractors or Western Allies.
The Regional Players will quickly accept the reality of Taliban Rule once Kabul falls, which would makes a military rescue mission all but impossible i.e. Operation Eagle Claw, so the Biden Administration will have no choice but to bribe Pakistan with millions of dollars to find a diplomatic that would include millions going directly to the Taliban and even an official apology for our past transgressions against them.
Dear facebook
No; it can’t auto-rotate.
The only joint cheifs we have left are perfumed prince yes-men who have backbones like licorice whips. They are woke, politically correct, kittens and traitors to their troops. If they are able, what they should probably think they will never say. If they have any good principles they have refined the biting their tongue to an art form.
ALL COMPLETELY CORRECT.
As for religion, the American Indian was not converted, he was executed and conquered. That is how you win wars.
Everything you have said will be forgotten and will be done again by the next generation of pointy headed “experts” but only IF this nation survives and I think it won’t.
Milley
Over the last nearly 70 years I have found that a whole lot of people at the top like Milley are legends in their own minds, shameless self-promoters, did a great job at whatever because they say they did, all hat and no cattle and are just as full of chit as all of that would suggest.
The really good and capable guys who get things done you hardly ever hear about.
“Why would the Taliban refrain from taking hostages?
Would you do that if you were the head of Taliban and Joke Buyden were your enemy’s president?”
I think the reasoning was that the strategically it might bring in a stronger US response than just letting an evacuation take place. But all it takes is a couple of guys with ManPads to change everything.
It’s as lost as the senile pervert trying to be president.
Can’t be... the hard left, marxist, Obama black hat, fake, treasonous puppet, went to the Taliban to beg and plead for their mercy, so they would let us get out — before they resume beheading thousands of men, women, and children.
“...the worst can and probably will happen. Beheadings, rapes, etc...”
“I just wonder how the press will smooth that all over.”
The global marxist elite are all about genocide for profit, enslavement, and total c ok control of all resources, by any means.
They always have been.
It was lost on nov 4 2008.
And perhaps possibly lost on 9/17/2001 whrn bush declared that islam is a religion of peace. Even though i was still in my twenties, i understood then and there that we were done.
Then again, after serving in somalia in 1993, i already understood the “fight till we quit” political mentality
It’s such a mess... we should have been out of there ten years ago.
The Bush’s Folly.
Not on foot.I saw film of truckloads of these savages headed for Kabul.
There is going to be bigtime slaughter and bloodshed.
Jesus weeps.
So true.
i am so sick and tired of the Perfumed Princes... and now Princesses with guys like Aunt Milly.
Thank you for your service.
Hand Salute and my Carrier was suppose to provide air support for the withdrawal, which in itself was a pure clusterf*ck.
The two Bushes who started, and carried on, our involvement in this losing proposition
were the stupidest Presidents in modern history.
and the likes of Ahmad Shah Massoud will never be seen again...
The big question here is not whether Afghanistan is already lost, the question is whether America itself is already lost
You certainly know your military history.
There is nothing left to do now but fervently pray to the Lord our God to spare these men and women, and those whose lives they have been charged with.
