Is Afghanistan the Next Killing Field?
American Thinker.com ^ | August 30, 2021 | Fay Voshell

America’s abrupt withdrawal from Afghanistan portends a humanitarian disaster of unknown proportions.

Sam Faddis, a former CIA field operations officer, summarized the appalling situation in Afghanistan in a bulletin put out some days ago. He concluded that because of the policies being put into place in that country, the watching world may be looking at another version of the killing fields:

“Folks, for those of you trying to help get people out of Afghanistan. Here is assessment based on information coming out of policy circles and from sources on the ground. Biden is hard over that we will have the last military personnel out of Kabul airport NLT 31 August. We may be gone before then. Drawdown could begin within next 72 hours.

“This is not conditions-based. Biden has already disregarded all sound military advice. We can expect him to continue to do so. Anybody not out by the time the last plane leaves gets cut away.

“On the ground in Kabul all processing of Afghans has effectively stopped. Only AmCits being moved. People are finally realizing on the ground that this administration really will do things that are unthinkable.”

Faddis adds that consensus assessment of on-the-ground intelligence is that the Panjshir Valley, traditionally a stronghold of resistance for over one hundred years, will probably be overrun, though it may hold for a while. Any Afghan who hopes to get out will not find haven in the valley, but will need to get across the border.

He concluded: “After we are gone, the plan is apparently to take down the internet, expel foreign journalists and begin the Afghan version of the killing fields.”

I think it certainly has the potential. We shall see.

Rush Limbaugh once had a riff on headlines that read, "experts shocked," or, "experts surprised." Rush quipped that such headlines called into question the expertise of the so-called, "experts."

I don't think one needs to be an expert to see a bloodbath in Afghanistan following the US withdrawal. I think any intellectually honest consumer of the news can see it coming. I'm by no means an expert on Afghanistan, and I would not be shocked, nor surprised to see a mass slaughter take place there, and I don't think predicting such really qualifies one as an expert anymore than saying that the sun will come up in the east makes one and astronomer.

Terrorism in Afghanistan, indeed terrorism at large, will be among the least of our worries as the consequences of Biden's galactic stupidity reach around the world.

Far more dangerous to the security of America is Chinese aggression, especially against Taiwan which is incapable of defending itself against China. If China simply nakedly invades Taiwan, there is nothing we can do short of kinetic war and probably short of nuclear war. The suggestion is not entirely made in sarcasm: we should dock the USS Ronald Reagan in port at Taiwan but rename it the USS Maine and hope that the Chinese will shrink from precipitating nuclear war by attacking it.

Meanwhile, the future for the Baltic states looks equally as bleak as the future for Taiwan because there is essentially nothing short of nuclear gamesmanship that can be done to protect Estonia and the neighboring Baltic states and the Estonians know it full well. Biden has just signaled green light to Vladimir Putin on the Baltic where he has ill-conceived ambitions.

Look for Russia to take another bite out of Ukraine but here at least conventional resistance might avail without to play nuclear games.

Biden has nearly completed his program to fund Iran and permit them to acquire nuclear weapons so the entire balance of power in the Gulf will be stood on its head and nuclear proliferation is inevitable. Yet another place in the world where nuclear conflict has been made more likely by Joe Biden.

The world's largest democracy, India, no doubt is rethinking its posture vis-à-vis the United States and may well resume its flirtation with Russia that it carried on for decades when it considers the way Biden has ruined their neighborhood. India had been a counterweight to Pakistan, fighting an actual hot conventional war, although limited, with China and was assuming responsibilities for policing the Indian Ocean. Is that now all in jeopardy?

A quick survey of the world suggest that we might indeed yearn for the good old days where our major concern was a terrorist attack with limited casualties but just wait, Biden no doubt will find a way to convert terrorism into a nuclear threat as well.

As soon as the Taliban get the 9.4 BILLION of central bank funds they will start the purges in earnest.

The following is copied from an earlier post, and if accurate, explains the situation as in “cui bono” - who benefits.

“We’re dealing with Kabul. There’s 7 buses of female American citizens. The CG refused to open the gate. We have a congressman with us and he had the state department reach out. MG Donahue refused. 10 minutes ago the females were taken by the Taliban. They are likely dead now.”

WE had bizarre news a few days ago potentially linking China Biden and Pfizer to the betrayal in Afghanistan.

Pfizer ‘vaccine’ contracts with countries include ‘water tight’ specific goals of vaccines destributed per contract specifications, and that countries missing contract deadlines forefit sovereign assets, including military bases, funds (tax payer money).

Further, Pfizer has 70 CCP officials on Pfizer’s Investment board. In other words, Pfizer is the face of China.

China’s Biden puppet did not reach his hoped for 70% vaccination goal by July 4. So Biden handed the Taliban our Baghram airbase, billions in military armaments, and it looks like....hostages. Afghanistan has been a critical objective in China’s plan to dominate world economy with its ‘silk road’ and has recently stated it looks forward to renewing their relationship with Afghanistan.

NOTHING about Biden’s actions suggest he would ever willingly let people escape. Evacuations seem to take place against his will. Certainly giving the Taliban 7 buses full of American women is Biden ‘paying’ his owners in China what they tell him to pay.

Americans are prey and payment to China, guaranteed to be betrayed in life or death situations. Whatever China wants, Biden gives them.

Michael Yon confirms the following story is true.

The stats they are pushing on the news are false. There are many more American citizens who want to escape but have no option because our own government keeps halting all actions. We who are trying to save these people have run into roadblock after roadblock.

Rush had a way of distilling things down to their core truths.
We are not dealing with people that have any interest in intellectual honesty. They are just that evil/stupid/deranged/corrupt (pick your poison).
They don’t seem to be willing to allow us hold and voice an opposing view. That’s gotta make you wonder about the next election cycle.
In any case, Afghanistan just proves now is not a good time to have an alliance with the US.

Simple Rules of Engagement with Muslims -

If Infidels are present, Sunni with unite with Shi’a sects to enslave (physical, sex, monetary), convert, and annihilate all Infidels.

If no Infidels present, Sunni will turn against Shi’a until one or the other is enslaved or annihilated.

The rising population of Muslims over 1200 years shows the effectiveness of their tactics.
