If that's true and the public picks up on it, the media will have Biden's balls.

It's scientifically proven, actually. Liberals test very high (on average) in compassion, they test okay in liberty (as in, your freedom to do what you want), but they test low in all the other areas of morality (purity, loyalty, authority, karma). Conservatives are more balanced; they are more...

Biden didn't fuck over the domestic oil industry. He mostly fucked over Canada's oil industry. The oil issue is mostly short term. Unless Biden is crazy enough to go after fracking, this pipeline deal was more for the Canadians than it was for us. And do what? Actually, we seem to be heading...

I understand the consequences of a multi-polar world. And I want it. Lol, 20-50%? By 2019, less than 12% of economy was based off trade. And half of that was in Nafta. Which we renegotiated. That's a whopping 6%. And with COVID, the US is already reworking its industrial base for PPE (well...

ISI is more or less rogue at this point. Pakistan's government is probably terrified of ISI. If they have any sense. Also, if their president knew this was a problem, you'd have thought he'd have tried to whip his army into shape. Basic training is what, 3-6 months or something like that...

You act as though generals only started getting cushy jobs in the past century. As for losing wars? Which wars? We won the War in Iraq and Afghanistan. We lost the occupation, but I don't know why anyone didn't expected that. And after years of propping up shitty governments, we created a power...

Stupidity is its own reward. The Taliban were pretty clear they wanted Americans out. You have to be really fucking dumb to waltz back in to try and evacuate more people. It was pretty clear the Taliban were only putting up with it for the sake of appearances and keeping the peace with the US...

America has taken the view that Russia is not our problem. At most, we might remain in Poland as a sort of buffer between Russia and Germany. All things considered, both would probably like that. China is either not going to last long enough to be a threat in the future or they'll try and use...

China will have a nasty implosion. How devastating it will be remains to be seen, but it's baked in at this point. And yes, the US is going through a nasty downturn right now, but it's been building up for decades now. I would also disagree that our "rulers" are the first to wish that the US...

Oh, I'm not saying that Trump's withdrawal would have been worse or even as bad. But friction is a natural problem when engaging in this sort of operation. He would have gotten worse publicity, I imagine. It's just that Biden's team made assumptions they shouldn't have, then were completely...

I don't think a multipolar world is better, but the current unipolar world is simply not sustainable. The circumstances that allowed the US to dominate the world as a massive military power is different that exist now. Our economy was larger in comparison to the rest of the world's for one. The...

It really, really pains me to agree with anything Biden says--and God knows he's earned the flake he's getting now, but there was never going to be a clean pullout given the situation. That's not to say that the Biden Admin is without fault, but the cities falling less than two weeks after our...

I'm not sure how progressives are going to respond to this. Normally I could check twitter to get an idea, but the Biden Democrats have been trying to push up #RespectBiden, so it's hard to tell. The counter one is so full of Republicans it's not even worth looking through. This does look like...

The Taliban have already won. Attacking the USA is really not what they're interested in doing. This is most probably, as reports suggest, an attack by ISIS-K. It would suit them to carry out this attack. It undermines the Taliban's new government and it might provoke the US into attacking or...

It isn't? The US leaving Iraq created a power vacuum that the Iraqi government could not fill. That, plus the growing power and phenomenon of ISIS, led to their massive growth. The US leaving Afghanistan has created a power vacuum that the Taliban have more or less filled. ISIS-K is attempting...

It was the only move he had to play. Anyone with an ounce of brain or even compassion would have said the same thing. We can't really blame him for saying something that any of us in his place, would have said? And at the end of it, he is sticking to his guns. He will not go back in...

Because Biden was a compromise candidate. His connection and support from Obama helped him with more moderate progressive and black voters, whereas his past history as a senator helped him with older voters and more moderate ones. The media really wanted Kamala, but she lost popularity in the...

The Biden admin really can't catch a break on this, can they?

I do love this article though. https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20210823-dont-blame-zaki-anwari-blame-those-who-drove-him-to-make-his-fateful-decision/ Courage? This is a 19 year old man who abandoned his mother and sisters, his cousins to the very real atrocities of the Taliban. He was such...

Oh please, the media adored Kamala in the primaries. And she got BTFO'd by someone who was near last place. She only made it into the administration because Biden needed a diversity hire with moderate politics. That was pretty much just her. Kamala's only chance at winning an election in the...
