None of this is incompetence

[DudleySmith]

So you think there was some sort of political advantage for the administration to exit in this manner, and this FUBAR was what they actually wanted, because it gave them this advantage?

Nope. We think it's obvious they just didn't give a shit what happened; it's not like their retarded base would do anything but lick their ankles and coo over how wonderful they are no mater what. It only dawned on the feral animals that some of our allies and a few indie voters might not be so indifferent to the aftermath, so he sent 5,000 back to cover his ass.

Yes....Create another refugee crisis to rationalize importing more more unskilled. illiterate, backward-assed, wards of The State.

But what kind of advantage would that bring to anyone from any political party??? Seriously??

You still think the remocrats and depublicans are different....How quaint.

If, together with Ukraine, the US establishment very actively supports the right of idiots to glorify nazism, then how soon after Afghanistan, will the United States begin to advocate the glorification of radical Islamism?

You know about the deep state and Q Whatever Anon and the swamp, but you don't know about the Taliban taking over? WHO ARE YOU FOOLING?

Something Is Wrong with the President | National Review

Biden’s latest interview, insistence that he was incorrectly briefed, and low profile amid the Afghanistan crisis all raise troubling questions.

Something Is Wrong with the President ​

​

​

The president turns 79 in November. He last released a summary of his health condition in December 2019. In May, a White House spokesman said Biden had not had a medical checkup or taken a physical this year, but that he would by the end of the year. There have been no updates on the president’s health since.


Back on July 26, John Ellis astutely analyzed how it was acceptable to acknowledge Biden’s age and mental condition if you used certain euphemisms:

Somewhere along the way of the last few years, Biden transitioned from “young old” to “old.” Veteran reporters describe the transition in code. “He’s lost a step or two.” Or: “he’s lost something off his fastball.”
You’re not supposed to talk about it. If you do, and you’re a Democrat, you’re scolded for aiding and abetting the enemy. If you do, and you’re a Republican or (God forbid) a MAGA voter, you’re a horrible hate-mongerer, trying to overturn the results of a free and fair election (and you probably watch Fox News to boot).
The problem is that it’s there for all to see. Pretending not to see it is untenable.

Who ordered a military supply build up in Afghanistan? In the months prior to the Afghan abandonment Biden may have ordered millions of dollars in equipment sent to Bagram. Was it him? Who was it? This is serious treason.

Biden administration appears to have stockpiled military equipment for Taliban months before collapse

It appears that the Biden administration was stockpiling military equipment for the Taliban before the collapse of the Afghan government for months.

Well, actually you can just quit when you like, look at the US in Afghanistan.....

And Somalia is the base for people attacking oil tankers and other shipping. It has a big impact on the oil industry. How much oil do you think passes the coast of Somalia?

Yes, the US wants to protect oil. The US is willing to INVADE COUNTRIES, depose their leaders, to get what they want. Even lying to everyone about WMDs.

Ah, yes. I see where the Chinese have learned it from.

Essentially "Taiwan is provoking us, we send military flights over Taiwan every day, because they're provoking us by BEING THERE" is a Chinese line. China is never at fault, it's always someone else provoking them.

Just as Iraq, which is no where near the US, is somehow provoking the US by.... by.... by not being anywhere near the US. Semantics at best.

The U.S. military has met its goal of reducing the number of troops in Afghanistan to about 2,500 by Friday, a drawdown that may have violated a last-minute congressional prohibition.

The reduction could complicate matters for the incoming Biden administration, which must determine how to handle a Trump administration commitment to the Taliban to remove all U.S. military, intelligence and contractor personnel from Afghanistan by May as a move to spur peace negotiations. Those talks are in an early stage.

It already glorifies Islam; faggots gushed over them for decades in their propaganda; they are historically beloved by faggots because of their 'culture' of butt raping little boys, and were always a popular destination for Euro-faggot sex tourists. The Democratic Party is a huge fan of Iran and any cult that kills Americans and whoever Da Evul Xians frown on. Gore Vidal and other faggot activists touted them up as 'all enlightened n stuff' compared to those evul Xians like Jerry Falwell. Then they got to suddenly change their propaganda focus when their beloved enlightened Muslims put out videos of faggots being tossed off of buildings and the Iranians' claims there were no faggots in Iran. Now of course they claim they never did praise themand hold them up as 'civilized and tolerant', same as they claim NAMBLA wasn't a beloved founding group of the ILGA, and their 'progressive hero' Harry Hay wasn't a huge NAMBLA supporter.

Dopers get easily confused by their own propaganda and what they're supposed to peddle on any given issue. Peer pressure demands they never have an original thought or do a critical analysis of anything that hasn't been vetted by the proper authorities, like Maxine Waters or Spike Lee.
