A week or so before the American deaths, the White House released a video showing an obviously gay guy mincing about the Executive Mansion and interacting the with press secretary Psaki ostensively to encourage young people to get the jab.

It would be foolish to assume that word leaders, friendly and not-so-friendly, including Afghans didn’t watch and judge the leadership of this administration accordingly.

As for woke, Biden didn’t have the time or inclination to inform our allies of his decision to quit Afghanistan on the 31st as per the Taliban’s demands. Perhaps he was taking a nap. And of course virtually every world leader was able to publicly react to our troops’ deaths before Biden.

The MSM continues brainwashing the American electorate ... in preparation for 2022 but especially for 2024. Simultaneously, the Democrat Party Cabal and its MSM continue relentlessly bashing the Trump name. The scheme is simple: Brainwash the voters to such a degree that no Trump will even think of running in 2024.

Mr. Jacob Silverman at ‘The Atlantic’ can lie to himself all he wants in order to sell a story to Leftists but it’s not that “the far Right thinks wokeness is why America lost in Afghanistan”, it’s that the Taliban KNOW that wokeness in the military is one major reason why the United States lost in Afghanistan.

NYU pussified homo. He doesn’t have the first clue what damage the woke movement has done to our military.
He can keep writing pieces like this until our military, lead by globalist woke Ivy, JFK School of Government, and Georgetown types have to conduct a war against an actual strong military.

Then there won’t be any way to hide the woke damage.

The author is a bloviating idiot.

Trump foretold, in 2017, the consequences of withdrawing too fast.
Joetato did everything Trump said would lead to disaster.

The problem is, obviously, wokeness and the gays and gender-neutral pronouns and U.S. cultural decadence, all of which have conspired to make our military soft and incapable of ruling Afghanistan with the iron fist it required.


That stuff distracted us, tied us up in knots, and infuriated and repulsed the Afghanis. It was far from the only thing wrong, but it was a huge hurdle in the way of making things even palatable.

Looks like Johnny Jihad has nice teeth for a 7th century goat humper.
