Cockroaches always come back after “extermination.” I always felt our presence was needed there and other Middle East shitholes to keep the terrorists occupied fighting us there instead of here. It’s a conundrum in my mind. No he’s not aged well at all! Oh…..you mean his statement Carry on…… Overwhelming force. Get our allies together and put a million troops in there.
B-Man Posted August 13, 2021 Posted August 13, 2021 This Afghan rout is entirely on Joe Biden New York Post, by Editorial It doesn’t get more idiotic: “The Taliban also has to make an assessment about what they want their role to be in the international community,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said with a straight face Wednesday.Oh, and the State Department has sent diplomats to “press the Taliban to stop their military offensive and to negotiate a political settlement, which is the only path to stability and development in Afghanistan.” They’re also begging to have the US embassy in Kabul left alone, warning that future US aid is at risk — and so effectively promising that we’ll actually subsidize these barbarians. Hello? The Taliban have never given a damn about world opinion or “stability and development.” They were a global pariah when they ruled Afghanistan in the ’90s, ignoring the handwringing as they crushed the country’s women, destroyed those 1,500-year-old Buddha statues and hosted the al Qaeda plotters of 9/11. And they haven’t changed a whit since, blowing off all diplomatic efforts these last 20 years to get them to abandon their drive to reconquer the country. These are fanatics out of the 10th century. They’re turning girls as young as 12 into sex slaves as they advance. We didn’t disagree with Biden’s move to remove the last US ground forces, just as Donald Trump promised as well when he was in office. That’s plainly what most Americans wanted, too. Afghanistan had become an endless war. But any pullout had to have a plan. Not an utterly disastrous cut-and-run, with virtually no provision for the Afghans who worked with us all these years. https://nypost.com/2021/08/12/this-afghan-rout-is-entirely-on-joe-biden/
B-Man Posted August 13, 2021 Posted August 13, 2021 Afghanistan Falling Just A Month After Biden Says It’s Unlikely Taliban Will Take Over https://lidblog.com/biden-afghanistan-plan-unravel/ “So the question now is, where do they go from here? That — the jury is still out. But the likelihood there’s going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely.”

China benefits the most since they are actively undermining the U.S. position in the world - this is a huge propaganda win for them. Biggest since the covid coup. And has a plan for none of them.

The problem is the people running governments and setting policy and making decisions on these matters are not what I'd call "decent people". They are generally sociopaths obsessed with acquiring and growing their power and wealth. And stepping on anyone that gets in their way. In fact, while there are likely moral and ethical leaders somewhere I'm hard-pressed to name any current head-of-state of any Western nation that I would consider "decent".

Just ask Billstime and he’ll give you a long list of everyone with a (D) after their name. It’s the very definition of “decent”. In fact that’s what “D” stands for…no?
