Taliban Taking Over Afghanistan - Does anyone care?

[Orangeburst]

Crap......the CCP smells weakness just like the rest of the world. Lets hope Joe doesnt overreact to another crisis.

 

[davethevol]

There would have to be a paper trail or something to make it stick...or wait till after the midterms and try then

The media and Facebook/Twitter will cover it up.

It was left for the ANA who promptly surrendered. It's not treason, just utter incompetence.

I would add in a measure of "not giving a $#!+"

 

[StarRaider]

From what I read last night, "Operation Hercules" was not permitted to load most of the animals onto planes, and many were just let go at the airport. One of the women that led the rescue refused to leave them and chose to stay behind in Kabul.

I believe there is a special place in Heaven for folks like that.

I know a lot of you have a hard on for impeaching Biden, but he's done nothing to reach the Constitutional threshold for impeachment. He did not intentionally leave weapons for the Taliban. We armed and trained the ANA who promptly surrendered once they no longer had American tactical support. That's where the Taliban acquired the weaponry from. Incompetence is not a legitimate reason for impeachment.

Besides, impeach him and we get President Harris. It's not like we're getting better.

The U.S. should tell China to go **** themselves, but I don't trust Biden to do that. I think he's more likely to capitulate. Hope he proves me wrong though.

Have to say it.... Biden will appoint Hunter as ambassador to Chinastan... and he will oversee the US reconstruction activities... that being unloading pallets of dollars.

Biden is a dementia ridden moron. His interests include his grilled cheese sandwich for lunch and what's on the cartoon network. The people behind the curtain are the real evil pos bastards.

With a 10% cut for the big guy!

I would wager most of his art was purchased by Chinamen.

it was posted above but maybe because it was in a Jack P tweet and a Dailymail link it wasn't attended to.

Reuters broke it. Looks like the leaks have begun. I expect more.

Shows both Biden telling Afghan president to change the perception that the Taliban were gaining AND includes warning from Afghan president that things were deteriorating rapidly (July 20 something was the time of the call).

Exclusive: Before Afghan collapse, Biden pressed Ghani to ‘change perception’

 

[volinbham]

I've hit my Reuters limit so here's a recap from The Hill

“I need not tell you the perception around the world and in parts of Afghanistan, I believe, is that things are not going well in terms of the fight against the Taliban,” Biden said, according to the wire service.

“And there is a need, whether it is true or not, there is a need to project a different picture,” he added.

Biden suggested a solution to the issue would be having Afghanistan’s top political figures hold a press conference together that endorses a new military strategy.


“That will change perception, and that will change an awful lot I think,” the American president said.

It's not in the Hill piece but the Reuters article details Ghani telling how the Taliban was advancing and getting both logistical support and foreign fighters out of Afghanistan.

This was July 23rd.

Here's the bit from Ghani about the Taliban situation

Ghani told Biden he believed there could be peace if he could “rebalance the military solution.” But he added, “We need to move with speed.”

“We are facing a full-scale invasion, composed of Taliban, full Pakistani planning and logistical support, and at least 10-15,000 international terrorists, predominantly Pakistanis thrown into this,” Ghani said. Afghan government officials, and U.S. experts, have consistently pointed to Pakistani support for the Taliban as key to the group’s resurgence.

July 23rd.

Hey, at least we don't have mean tweets.

Mean tweets and bleach... don't forget the bleach.

Exodus: Biblical Scene As Thousands Flee Taliban-held Afghanistan Walking Miles Through The Desert Across The Pakistani Border And Into Iran

• Remarkable clip shows thousands desperately fleeing Taliban-held Afghanistan

Remarkable footage shows the truly epic scale of the exodus of Afghans fleeing their country to head west.

The almost-biblical scenes of the mass migration across the desert where the borders of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran all meet shows an endless river of people flowing between the mountains.

In the footage, with the human caravan stretching back as far as the eye can see, few words are spoken

Unreal…

That sh^t he said didn't make a lick of sense. Either leave by May 1st and no one is attacked or leave after May 1st and risk attacks. They chose to leave after May 1st. WTF does that have to do with Trump?

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

You raise a good point.

Now that is a good point. Bill Barr and his DOJ couldn't find a redneck at a wrestling match.

From the article, which I found particularly interesting:

On August 11, U.S. intelligence reports indicated Taliban fighters could isolate Afghanistan’s capital in 30 days and possibly take it over within 90. Instead, the fall happened in less than a week.

Looks like a total failure on the intelligence community. Biden is the CIC, and the buck stops with him. But at the same time, we were getting **** information and analysis.

However, as a whole, this article doesn't paint a good picture.

If a war is over, why are there still people held against their will?

Is this the part where Biden says “well sonofabitch he got fired” or something like that?

I’d just like to know where COLONEL Vindman is to report on this.

Peta has now commented...

Oh sh^t... Biden done f^cked up now. He left them damn dogs over there... Forget the American men and women. We gotta get them dogs.

Huge blunder by the Biden Administration... Huge.

I have a feeling there are going to be many Col. V's on this situation.
