The joint chiefs are morons, concerned only with their sybaritic pleasures and cushy retirements.

The Taliban smell blood and Victory—they will attack and take a terrible revenge on the population—It will be Rape and Plunder like the Goths who took Rome—or the Soviets who took Berlin. This is not resemble Saigon—but Nanking when the Japanese captured that Chinese Capital. I hope wiser heads realize that 3,000, 5,000 or even 10,000 US troops will not put off the horror. I think of our female soldiers and there fate if captured by the Taliban. What can stop them? Who has the will to stop them?

China ‘is prepared to recognize the Taliban as Afghanistan’s legitimate rulers as soon as Kabul falls’ in a blow to Biden’s strategy of international isolation and political pressure

Thanks.
I’m surprised they even gave a ‘warning’...

Here’s a recent FR thread example of a “night letter”: Taliban pins terrifying 'night letters' on doors of those who helped the West in Afghanistan... warning them to surrender or die
