You seem to have tagged the wrong person, that's my quote. But yes, I know this might come as a shock to certain Americans who think they can do whatever the fuck they want and the rest of the world will just take it (all over the political spectrum - clearly the West Wing LARPers staffing the...

I think you'd have to ask Biden, Harris, Milley and friends for the answer to that question. But if I had to guess? Extra votes for the Democrats in purple and red states. Or maybe they'll be recruits for a new, diverse military cleansed of wrong-thinking patriots, who won't think twice about...

One of the sources that RedState article cites claims that up to 50 of the people kicked off were HUMINT assets or other personnel who had been working for the Americans. The same article also says that Donahue didn't just let the Taliban know when the US would be leaving, he also turned over 'a...

Southeast (and East) Asians pay attention to the news, and are a lot less willing to eat up whatever bullshit spin the White House & State Department try to put on it than liberal NPCs in America itself. They see what's going on in A-stan, they see what the US has to show for 20 years, thousands...

That droning of an aid worker & his family is getting so much bad press because, I think, the circumstances & context set it apart from the usual droning which blows up a wedding or birthday party (or even that time Obama bombed an MSF hospital and killed dozens). It's the very last thing the US...

That's a general MENA + Asian thing. Arabs in the MENA region are generally pretty contemptuous of Africans, if they don't outright consider the latter to be animals worthy only of slavery or death (as they blatantly do in, say, Libya or Sudan). The East Asian peoples are pretty nationalistic...

Seems this is the end of the road for the Panjshir resistance, and resistance to the Taliban with any remotely realistic prospect for success or even medium-term survival as a whole, for the foreseeable future. Before it went private, I heard rumblings on the Afghanistan subreddit that their...

Afghan opinion aside, was there ever any significant number of Americans (and other Westerners) who wanted to keep fighting, and for the cause of turning A-stan into an outpost of liberal values at that? IIRC public opposition to the war kept spiking even (especially!) after Bin Laden was killed...

Even then, the Soviet puppet government - while repressing religion and promoting feminism - generally avoided rocking the heteronormative boat, to my understanding. (This would have mirrored the Soviets' own stance, they considered sexual deviancy of any kind to be a useful tool in...

More than that, the Coalition actively and aggressively tried to implement globohomo in Afghanistan where it was neither needed nor wanted by the locals. The official figure of the cost for gender programs was $787 million, but pomo gender BS was crammed into basically everything the Coalition...

Oh my God this is rich. Any aid sent to the Taliban (even 'just' the money they've been demanding) will inevitably not only be used against ISIS-KP, but their other enemies in the Panjshir resistance too. By rendering such aid the US will effectively be allying with the 'Ban against the only...

Well, I certainly hope that'll be the case - and so would the enlisted man in question, I'd imagine, unless he's still in absolute-sincerity 'fuck everything, I hope it all burns down' mode. But as I've said before, considering how completely feckless and unprincipled the Harris-Biden...

Just realized this was probably referring to the soldier in the vid I posted near the end of the last page. I mean yeah, maybe under normal circumstances, but the current established leadership has demonstrated a willingness to change its rules (or how they're applied) on the dime for blatantly...

At least one more soldier shares Scheller's sentiments and is willing to voice them openly. Also, the great President Biden has finally condescended to meeting at least one of the families of the dead servicemen. As with everything else he's been up to, it went poorly and him referencing his...

That Marine LTC who got relieved of command for demanding accountability over Kabul won't quit, in part by quitting. What I find most interesting - well, not that he's resigning, but that he blew up the way he did because he knew one of his mentors (who apparently has since unfortunately gone...

One of several interesting analyses I've seen of the longer-term effects of this disastrously-handled withdrawal following Coalition troops home. The Soviet system did not long endure defeat in Afghanistan, and its pullout was much better managed than the one in Kabul right now, to the point...

Like we needed another demonstration of where the present American regime's priorities lay. Can't and won't even try to prevent the Taliban from entering the airport while the evacuation isn't complete (with 4 days left to go to the deadline, August 31 isn't tomorrow) and thousands of personnel...

If this entire sordid mess actually ends with Biden allying with the Taliban to defeat ISIS-KP in the short term and in hopes of using them as the next 'moderate Syrian Afghan rebel/partner' proxy in the longer run, there's a non-zero chance that I'll die of laughter. Truly that's the sort of...

At this point I really have to ask, if the Biden administration was purposely TRYING to get as many Americans killed and to humiliate the country they're theoretically supposed to be leading as badly as possible - what would they be doing differently?

This, tbh. By now it looks as though the fallout of this disaster is inescapable, so the entirety of the administration & deep state are looking to offload all blame for it onto Biden's shoulders to save themselves - it's not like anyone, even the most delusional 'Vote Blue No Matter Who' NPCs...
