President Joe Biden refused to be swayed by his top generals to keep 3,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, instead ordering their swift removal, a stubbornness that "paved the way for havoc" in the country, reports Politico.
The move ultimately led to Taliban forces taking Kabul and declaring the war "over" and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani fleeing the country Sunday

Dementia patients are often stiff-necked and ornery.
We need to set up anti-terrorist operations that last decades and are immune to changes in admin and the winds of politics.

I have been advocating for several years a policy I call ‘embaseees’. Embassy + AirBase —> EmBASEeees. We go into a terrorist country, clear out their taliban equivalent, then withdraw to very large Embassies, perhaps 3 of them. Have them big enough to encompass a military airbase where we can use it for decades on end to conduct anti-terrorism operations. As long as the ‘host’ country aint killing Americans then we let them have self-sovereignty. Kind of like how we operated in the Phillipines for decades. We could even have an intermediate zone that we patrol but it would be autonomous. Let them have their taste of freedom. A referendum every 10 years to see how large the boundaries of the intermediate autonomous zone should be.

Did they ?

Looks to me like the orb are at least going to try and retain control of the military after Biden crashes.
.
Not stupid. Deliberate.
Think Quisling and Norway.
Best check who just bought Hunter’s last ‘art’ piece !
Supposedly these are pictures of the “civilian” part of the airport (under Taliban control) while there is a “military” part of the airport (under US control).
Time will tell if this is correct or not.
We still have more troops than that in Germany, do we not?
If Politico is writing about behind the scenes irrational behavior of Biden, the skids are being greased folks.
Biden will be 25th amendmented soon.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if Biden resigns today”
Never gonna happen my friend. That while barrel of snakes is going into full blame everybody else mode as we speak.
If he did you could knock me over with a feather.
Calling B.S. on this story. This is Milley trying to save his own ass.
Evil permeates around the world these days.
“He will still blame Trump”
Already happening
Nah, not yet. Who-ever is pulling the strings on the Biden meat puppet still has plans for him. That's right, as stupendously bad as this is, I believe there are bigger failures in Biden's future.
Then and only then will his handlers/owners have him step aside. They'll claim it is for personal reasons, or health reasons, family, some high-minded sounding BS. Of course the Ho is just as much (probably more) of a wholly-owned entity. The same powers will be pulling her strings.
I agree. The tweet that Jill’s thought that he could project power from where he was and did not need to go to DC was telling.
Didn’t “The Generals” strongly tend to not listen to Trump?
Why would they listen to Biden? They don’t indirectly control Biden?
The generals and IC are leaking like crazy trying to cover their butts.
Take all the anonymous source stuff coming out now with a very large grain of salt.
Never saw a man with so little reason to be arrogant.
Of course he will blame Trump, the Dims never accept responsibility for their actions (Ie.: Pelousey, Cuomo, etc.)
Let us not forget that this is the ONLY Trump act , or agreement
that Biden has left intact and hastily enacted .. into a public and complete FUBAR !
The media pushes lies 24/7 for the sole purpose of harming America. The way the filthy deep state media is turning on their very own Xao Xiden makes me wonder what the agenda is, but as disastrous as the POTATUS is, whatever the deep state is setting up has to be even worse. And it's difficult to imagine anything worse than the plans they've announced so far.
Remember Biden telling us over and over that he had 47 years of experience in Washington an he knows how to get things done. Funny, he left out the Obama quote.
