“TB yanking Bidens chain”

“Biden is delaying? What?”

*****

Are you positing that the plan is to generate reasons for a continued military presence in Afghanistan? I had not thought of that.

The Taliban want to play with their new puppy.

Can’t blame them. The hostage crisis is already underway.

Wars are won by those willing to kill without restriction.

The Taliban has shown they have such willingness.

Just out of curiousity, has ANY American been evacuated from Afghanistan since Kabul fell? All I see are planeloads of Afghans...where are the thousands (or at least hundreds) of Americans who they want us to think (but carefully avoid confirming)?

I know one thing - If I were the Taliban, I’d be using Bagram to import high quality Chinese and Russian hardware and I’ve had it all set up around Kabul International. And then I’d remind The Infidel to leave on Aug. 31, or else.

If you postulate that the Fed Gov is in control, they know everything, everything that happens is because they want it to happen, and for some reason they do not like us, you actually end up with a fairly cogent theory that explains most happenings well.

All the Taliban have to do is shell the airport runway and the jig is up.

No need for Russian or Chinese weapons. The Taliban has been gifted the best gear that Raytheon has to offer.
