    The War in Afghanistan

    Conquering empires often cared greatly about how the locals did things, ex: British Empire. They might stomp out a few practices here or there, because they despised them or because it was useful to their interests, but mostly they looked for ways to get what they wanted with a minimum of...

    The War in Afghanistan

    We lost Vietnam. We lost Iraq, our goal was 'dominoes of democracy' and our outcome was 'Islamic State'. We lost Syria, the Russians will get the pipeline our neoclowns hoped to deny them. We lost Afghanistan, where we proved to the world that terrorists can attack our territory then fight us...

    The War in Afghanistan

    Ya know, other than the political generals, the diversity hiring, the vastly lower standards implemented across the board to allow diversity hiring, half a century of losing wars, oh, and did I mention how some of the generals just happen to end up on a bunch of boards of directors?

    The War in Afghanistan

    One cannot undercut the left by pandering to them and implementing their policies. Every submission to their hateful narratives and their desire for a permanent year zero, is a categorical failure. It fills their hearts with joy, the hearts of patriots with sorrow, and the majority that sits...

    The War in Afghanistan

    I can think of reasons (few of them good) but before I committed them to writing I'd want to know which people are there. Is it idiot tourists? NGO staff? Government employees of some variety?

    The War in Afghanistan

    That is a reasonably rational assessment of likely consequences. Unfortunately, the President himself is senile, the VP is a diversity hire, and I have a nagging suspicion that their handlers have drank their own kool-aid. Their strengths are media manipulation and subversion, and they are so...

    The War in Afghanistan

    If it did, my first thought would be that Beijing Biden was trying to save face. Start a fight, lie about it, throw a bunch of troops back into the meat grinder and thump the war drums.

    The War in Afghanistan

    This is the shit that makes my gut churn. Such disclosures are a harsh warning to the entire planet that being an ally to the United States is a baaaad idea. On a purely pragmatic level this is good for most of us, American or otherwise, because it neuters the ability of our globalist rulers...

    The War in Afghanistan

    Ah, another silver lining: watching the littlest chickenhawk squirm. Benny is in for a whole lot of disappointment. As nasty as this situation is, I think this assessment overly pessimistic. Far more likely that 90% make their way out unscathed, a bunch get roughed up and robbed, and <1% are...

    The War in Afghanistan

    This is the part that Americans, especially 'conservatives' or patriots of any stripe, must accept and acknowledge openly. We now have people from all across the spectrum blaming our Vichy army for not fighting to the death, our Vichy leaders for fleeing as soon as the occupation ended, and the...

    The War in Afghanistan

    As silver linings go this is pretty good. I would dearly love to see American heroin prices increase a hundred-fold. A whole lot more Americans have died after being tricked into addiction by Sackler drug pushers than have died in the sights of a Taliban soldier. Probably more of our soldiers...
