Our foes press hard from every side, beginning with the inside

Looking at the debacle in Afghanistan, we must recognize that our greatest enemy isn’t the Taliban or radical Islam.

It required several days gestation but, at last, the issue has been joined: Was the debacle in Afghanistan the result of (a) dementia, (b) treason, or (c) treason under cover of dementia? That is the $64,000 question now at issue among the commentariat.

Consider what we know: The US military bugged out (1) without notice to our allies, (2) leaving behind some $85B in weaponry, and (3) abandoning thousands as hostages, and (4) even barring some of these hostages’ attempts to escape. Now we see why. The Taliban wants official recognition as Afghanistan’s legitimate government. Biden will give them that recognition as the ransom for the hostages.

The US Constitution in Article III Section 3 defines treason as “levying War against the United States, or adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.” What we have on the ground in Afghanistan—a precipitous withdrawal of our forces and unannounced abandonment of our allies together with delivering equipment and weaponry worth billions to the enemy plus thousands of American citizens as hostages—clearly meets the Constitution’s definition of treason as both levying war against the United States and giving aid to the enemy.

Is this what Joe intended? That is the critical question. Was the outcome deliberate or inadvertent?’

The border between dementia and treason is intent.

Afghanistan, Afghanis being flown into our country, the southern border immigration crisis, COVID response, policies that destroy the economy.... it is too many things to be coincidence blamed on dementia.

The Cold War was so long that Americans came to believe that other Americans only betrayed their country because they were communists.

The oldest reason for betrayal is money.

The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate needs money so they can buy condos in Hawaii.

If even ONE of these “refugees” commits a terrorist act, Biden is responsible.

Tic tok.

We spent almost a Billion $$ to build a defensible embassy - which the State Dept left wide open to the commies from the East to copy our designs and technology.

We spent well over a Billion $$ to build an secure airbase that we could use for decades. And another dozens bases across the country.

And the rat b@sturds threw it all away.

The writer’s premise is absurd, and makes her entire post gibberish.

Biden had nothing to do with what happened in Afghanistan, and it is remarkable that people on our side stupidly promote (and actually believe?) that he did.

American “policy” is run for the benefit of China and her many allies, including the Democrats. Who is actually in charge, we have no idea, other than Biden is not.
