Terror threat is RAISED: Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Mark Milley tells senators that the US homeland is now at greater risk from terror groups in Afghanistan in major blow to American efforts after 20 years of fighting in the country

Afghanistan fell to the Taliban much faster than President Joe Biden and his top military leaders predicted, a Sunday report from Axios reveals.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley told a bipartisan group of senators during a Sunday call that a past assessment of how soon the terrorist groups will reemerge in Afghanistan will drastically speed up due to the events over the last week.

On the call with Milley, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham asked if they will revise the assessment given to Congress in June that classified a 'medium' risk of terrorist group reconstituting within two years of withdrawal.

'Yes,' Milley responded about changing the threat assessment report, according to Axios.

He also said he would be more than willing to brief senators in a classified setting on the unfolding Afghanistan situation.

I am sure this will go beyond Afghanistan.
All kind of groups will see that US is not the power to be afraid of, so they will start/upend their actions.
It actually started with the Bay of the Pigs fiasco. After that, suddenly the US lost the UN and everybody started criticizing it. They figured out, it is better to be US enemy than friend. Enemies got bribes, friends got shafted!

So, how are we going to ‘vet’ 10,000+ Afghans before and after we fly them to America. To ensure they are not Taliban terrorists?

Taliban Terrorists are at this moment planning more 9/11’s to kill Americans on a large scale and in the neighborhoods we live in.

The Taliban Terrorists have standing armies of allies like BLMers, Antifa’s and other anti American home grown terrorists in America’s Big Blue Cities waiting for Taliban leadership.

Those big blue cities with less cops will be easy targets for really massive violent and deadly acts of terrorism.

No city/town in America will be safe after the Afghan Taliban terrorists are sent here in mass.

“..Milley the Woke is a predictable failure....”

This “woke joke” is a disgrace to the country, to the uniform he wears and to the men that are forced to serve under him. More than that, he’s a total disgrace to his very self, and IF he had even a modicum of honor, he’d resign immediately.
He should be court-marshalled.

How much higher can he raise it after sounding the alarm on Bible-believing Christians and Trump supporters?

Milley needs to be fired. This lack of planning, no intelligence, poor response if largely his fault. I didn’t like him under Trump and he didn’t improve under Biden.Someone needs to hold our military leaders to account for their poor leadership. Our generals, admirals have all taken on the role of politician.

They look black in a lot of the pics and videos I have seen. Plus with his plastic surgery he almost looks like one of those reptile people that some people believe in.


Look alike stand in? Reptilian clone experiment that went wrong?

Perhaps these great leaders had their attention diverted to more pressing concerns such as CRT for the troops. You can see how that would be a priority.

Yes it is sarcasm.

When the Taliban arrives at the border, we need to clear a corridor directly to DC; make it clear that if they deviate, we will deliver vengeance from 50,000 ft to each of their villages. Taliban, doing what Americans won’t do.

The MAGA-Deplorian :Why didn’t you get woke trainng to our troops fast! Why? Why? Why?
Funny how its phrased that it “fell much faster!” Tell you all you need to know.
This was a planned failure! "

Perhaps it was a plan to arm the Taliban with all the U.S. technological superior arms and electronic equipment, including helicopters now.
Now, instead of a hooligan army, they are armed to compete with any inferior resistance, and now with a small air force.
And now "the U.S homeland homeland is at greater risk ", according to Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Mark Milley,
who would rather fight and chase an imaginary political chimera of White Supremacy, rather than those who would sabotage the homeland.
The "woke" is a freaking joke of liberal symbolism and ideology over substance !
Another military disaster decision by either the Pentagon, or the Presidency,
or, more likely, both !
Is this a failure of intelligence , or military intelligence, or just of the leadership ?

Thats BS because the Taliban controlled large parts of the country...and if the the U.S. had secure borders and screened people coming in they could keep them out...

The 9/11 group were here for years learning to fly..

a couple in Venice, FL...they were all from Saudi Arabia....

The Saudies chased Ban Ladin out and found his way to Afghanistan...
