biden’s second surrender
first the southern border and now afghanistan
Can’t wait to see how Iran turns out.
With the Afghanis its not the training its the mindset. You can’t change that.
Afghanistan’s national government had almost 20 years to prepare.
And $88 billion in our weapons and training. Read that as all going to the Taliban. Never trust a Muslim. Just kill them.
Biden, do your job of protecting the USA and close the border with Mexico...it isn't just Mexicans crossing illegally into the USA...illegals from other countries as well feel they can come in any old time....Thank you Biden and Harris and politicians for open borders.
Biden said..."Not my problem".
At least, it took 2 years for Saigon to fall after the truce with North Vietnam. Biden has found a way to lose a war within 2 weeks after his “truce”. Funny, how the enemy can sense the smell of weakness in men who have no core. Apparently, Biden’s Iran policy of bribing the enemy to not do harm has been officially extended to the Taliban.
You cannot mentally burden a demented old man.
Trust no one is pretty good advice for diplomats.
But the mistake was nation-building with a bunch of savage tribesmen.
This should have been a punitive expedition from day one.
The goal should have been to kill bin Laden, his family, and anyone who supported or aided him or Al Qaeda.
Just kill lots of Afghanis and destroy (even more) their country and holdings.
Then piss on their graves and leave.
But noooooo, we had to nation build; with effing tribal savages, no less.
I knew we would lose within the first few weeks.
We had bin Laden’s wives and kids in a convoy and, instead of destroying the convoy and killing everyone in it, they called a Pentagon lawyer - who said no.
From that moment, our defeat was inevitable.
The ONLY thing faster than the Taliban taking back Afghanistan.
Will be the speed that China takes over Taiwan (and the disputed islands).
And the speed that main stream news use the word “Unexpectedly!” in these headlines.
Joe Biden doesn’t know where Afghanistan is located on a map. He wants to know if he’s getting ice cream for lunch today.
Xiden left the White Hut to go on vacation today. He cares about our troops so much.
A sane President with bold generals would know this is the time to attack.
But the tribal savages were good at one thing. They knew how to shake the Money Tree.
Apparently, Biden is fumbling the exit from Afghanistan in monumental style to underscore how we rescued defeat there from our initial victory.
It was when we changed the mission to “bringing democracy” to these backward warring tribes after accomplishing our primary objective within 3 months of driving out the Taliban in favor of equally undemocratic, but less hostile, tribes and groups like the Northern Alliance and Pashtuns, that we blew it. Simply put, you can’t dress a warthog in the tuxedo of democracy. There are limits. Bomb and leave is the only option when it comes to backward tribal nations like Afghanistan.
Tribal savages are sharp. Don’t doubt that for one second.
And they never lose sight of their goal.
By comparison Western diplomats are suckers and our politicians are pikers.
China will have issues taking Taiwan.
China will pull back a bloody stump. And if anyone else decides on military action on China, it will flood their grid and they’ll lose on both fronts.
Unfortunately, China can count on the US not getting involved.
