Oe Biden’s Defeat Will Echo for Eternity
NY Post ^ | August 16, 2021 | Miranda Devine

Posted on 08/16/2021 3:57:16 AM PDT by livius

The scenes out of Afghanistan are infuriating and tragically predictable.

It shouldn’t really come as a surprise that President Biden and the geniuses surrounding him have made such an almighty hash of the withdrawal from that godforsaken country.

Look at everything else he has messed up.

His first act in office was to dismantle hard-won Trump-era border protection measures. The inevitable illegal migrant surge at the southern border has turned into an unchecked invasion, with national security and public health risks that will ricochet through history.

At this stage we can confidently say that Joe Biden has the reverse Midas touch. …….

How inane Biden’s conceit looks now, when he was wandering around the G-7 in June telling anyone who would listen that “America is back” and that he had single-handedly restored America’s global leadership and credibility after Trump had ruined it.

He has just been busy making us less safe. He is wokifying the military, injecting the poison of critical race theory and transgender ideology to divide the troops, while launching a witch hunt to identify some mythical “enemy within.”

It seems like only yesterday that Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was barking at a Republican member of Congress about “white rage.”

This lawless, feckless administration has wreaked untold damage at warp speed in seven months. These aren’t mistakes that you can bounce back from. They will have ramifications well into the future.

I’ve put together the beginning and the conclusion, but the whole thing is worth reading because it discusses the difference between Biden and Trump on Afghanistan.

And I think the author’s final conclusion is both ominous and completely correct: this catastrophic defeat resulting from these horrible decisions by the Biden regime is going to have disastrous effects on the US and the world, in all sorts of ways that we cannot even yet imagine, for years into the future.

“And I think the author’s final conclusion is both ominous and completely correct.”
What else would expect from an author with Divine for a last name?

Ooops! That would be Joe!

That said, I’ve been reading tweets from various sources, particularly India, this morning, and they are all agreed that this is a whole new era and that the US is not longer to be feared, trusted, sought as an ally, or even considered a power.

The game belongs to China now, in the opinion of many. But I guess Biden would already have known that.

She's right and we all are going suffer. Thanks all you idiots who voted for this idiot.

going to have disastrous effects on the US

Just like Vietnam did. First thing internationally that will be clear: US priorities change.

Domestically it is a tad too early to tell what the political fallout will be IMO. The media and dems in power are tough to fight. Unfortunately I doubt any side will note that we need to become aware the Islamists are a forceful enemy. Wokeness is today’s 1938 style appeasement and does not work.

I think she is correct, with one caveat: It is all done knowing the outcome in advance. The defeat was the goal.
The shadowy ghouls in the White House, the ones in charge, are trying to break down the United States.

I saw part of the interview with Blinken, the Secretary of State. He is certainly not in on any decision making, he comes across exactly like Jen Psaki, a mouthpiece sent out to spin the decisions of the White House.

John McArthur said it yesterday, a part of God’s judgment on a nation is to give them evil rulers.

The humiliation of the American military is no doubt exactly what the Chinese want as there will be no public support for defending Taiwan or any other intervention

And most of those idiot G-7 “leaders” and others were agreeing with him and cheering him on. They didn’t like Trump.

America's back alright. Back to cowering in fear from a motley bunch of Islamic crazies and back to retreating with our tails between our legs and making whining submissive noises.. The good ole Jimmy Carter way.

And now they are running around like headless chickens. Boris Johnson just called an emergency session of parliament over Afghanistan. Fat lot of good that will do.

Since getting lost on the White House lawn the other day, they've been hiding him out at Camp David. He should have addressed the American people by now, but he hasn't (his people are saying he'll do that "in a few days.") He should have held a press conference and taken questions from reporters about this debacle, but he hasn't. His handlers know that even his friends in the mainstream media can't feed him softball questions on this one. He'd have to try to give intelligent answers to legitimate questions without notes, and without the aid of a teleprompter. He's not capable of doing that, and his handlers know it.

It is guaranteed that dictatorial regimes/guerrillas are going to take shots at America in coming months, after Dementia Joe’s weak, pathetic, surrender monkey display.

What is eminently consistent about America since the end of WWII is that America is not a trusted ally. No matter the promise, American allies will be cast aside and betrayed if there is any domestic political gain to be had.

How many countries, how many people, have lost their lives or faced severe consequences becausee of Democrats or MSM manipulation for purposes of assisting Democrats?

In the coming months or within a few short years I will not at all be surprised if we see multiple domestic terror attacks wreaking havoc on this country because terrorists have been and will easily passing through our southern border. Our enemies will certainly be even more emboldened to cross our border and attack us.

The CCP-directed ghouls in the WH are much pleased. China now has a green light for their plans there for energy, minerals and illicit drugs.

When these horrible things happen, the media and Big Tech will simply blame Trump and MAGA people. We will be the scapegoats from now on.

“The game belongs to China now.”

It would be interesting to find out the details of the bribe that Biden received to hand over Afghanistan to the Taliban.

G7 didn’t like Trump precisely because he made them grow up and accept responsibility…remember all the fuss over their having to pay some part of their own defense expenses? So they were happy to see him go, and happy to see somebody weak and clueless that they could push around again.

Now they’re seeing the consequences of that.

I’m waiting for Blinken to go on vacation too, just like Psaki.

Never has more of a nobody been SOS. When he was announced, everybody said, “Who?” Guess we can see why.
