Oh, great. The Taliban is already holding military parades... with our weapons

[Dr Grump]

Our president is wise.

Christ almighty. He just went up in the respect stakes for me. Finally a president who says what I've been thinking for eons. Finally honest about it. Suck on that neocon warmonger losers.

Well, they may not technically be formal “parades” at this point, but close enough. Either way, today brought us more discouraging news out of Afghanistan.
This morning we looked at the deteriorating situation in the United States embassy in Kabul and at the international airports. While there is no way to know how long the situation will hold, at least for the time being we have some measure of security and defensive capabilities. Also, while some looters and rogue militants were stirring up some trouble, particularly at the now-abandoned Bagram airfield, the embassy itself is still holding strong. Also, the Taliban seemed to be remaining out in the more rural provinces that they’ve retaken and not gathering strength right on our doorstep.
All of that changed in less than eight hours. NBC News has been following some reporters who are embedded in various areas of Afghanistan and it turns out that our old negotiating “partners” in the Taliban have indeed been on the move.

The Taliban have showed off containers full of weapons and military hardware seized from the Afghan military as American forces withdraw from the country and the militants march across the country.​

The weaponry includes 900 guns, 30 light tactical vehicles and 20 army pickup trucks, according to NBC News’ U.K. partner Sky News, which was granted access to the Sultan Khil military base in the Wardak province close to the Afghan capital, Kabul.​

District after district has fallen to the Taliban. The militants have seized 120 districts since May 1, according to an ongoing assessment by the Long War Journal. The map is a moving patchwork, but at last count the Taliban controlled 193 districts and contested 130, while 75 were under the control of the government or are undetermined, according to the publication, which reports on the global war on terror and is a project of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a hawkish Washington think tank.​

At this point, the Biden administration claims that it is still “working on” plans to evacuate translators and other civilians who helped us, but they aren’t even answering requests for comment from NBC News this week. The idea that we’re “working on” plans to get those people out now is obscene. That needed to be set in stone by the Trump administration, and it wasn’t. And if Biden inherited a situation where we couldn’t get them out, the withdrawal should have been delayed until such plans were finalized.
We’re not at the point yet where this is definitely going to turn into the Fall of Saigon Part Two, but as of this evening, it’s definitely getting closer.

Comment:

Hmm..... I guess Joey Xi' timing the withdrawal to coincide with Sept 11 is not having the intended effect. SMART POWER.
This has become an Army of lions led by Asses created by Obama/Bai Dung..... Joey Xi Bai Dung's Fall of Saigon Part Two will forever be history.
Just how many interpreters and their families will be left behind to suffer the consequences.
Actually, comparisons to the Fall of Saigon are insulting. The submission of the Afghani Army to the Taliban is happening more quickly.
At least the South Vietnamese held out alone for five months, sustaining 2:1 casualties, as the North bolstered with Soviet and Chinese materiel laid in their final siege.
Every one of these dumb over sea adventures has seen us leaving hundreds of billions worth of military equipment behind for our enemies to enjoy.
Meanwhile in anticipation of the Bai Dung administration "withdrawal" from Afghanistan:

The dishonest right is going to try to politicize the withdraw for some perceived partisan gain.

But their lies must be met with facts and the truth: this was GWB’ failed, illegal war, this war was the product of failed, wrongheaded conservative political foreign policy dogma, and this war was the consequence of the right’s propensity for militarism, foreign interventionism, and the reprehensible use of the American military to advance the Republican political agenda.

Interesting, because the Army does not have "pick up trucks".

 

[SassyIrishLass]

During the Soviet occupation the United States was arming and providing support to the mujahideen; the US has been involved in Afghanistan for more than 40 years.

Your boy Jimmy Carter started it.

Dumbass, he owns it

Maybe Biden could invite the Taliban to Washington like Trump did, and negotiate over Big Mac’s. During the week of the 9-11 anniversary.

Obama and Xiden’s war of necessity…what an ending…

 

[Doc7505]

Interesting, because the Army does not have "pick up trucks".

They gave up the pick ups and now have hundreds of Humvees and M-249's.
So much for your degree in history if you don't know about the 'Rape of Nanking' and the 'Panay Incident' in 1937.

Ah, okay. So the Dems can do it by reconciliation. Sound good?

 

[2aguy]

No more invasions, without a formal decoration of war. And every time we declare war, we raise taxes immediately to pay for it and reinstitute the draft. Then maybe American dumbfucks won't think it is a TV show or a game.

Funny how it is always you left wing shitheads who want to create the draft....a draft the rich left wingers will never be called on for, but the middle class will fill those ranks....

 

[jknowgood]

Again, how much longer did you want us to remain in Afghanistan?

Long enough to get our people out, now he sends 3000 troops back to get them out. What an idiot.

You do realize all your presidential candidates and presidents supported that war? Even Obama.

If the greatest military power in the world could not neutralize the Taliban in 20 years, it became obvious it was time to get out.

This is worse than the fall of Saigon. Chicom Biden left all of the warplanes. Everything that gave us air superiority has been given to the taliban and by default to China. Biden has destabilized the entire world.
