American and Afghan Allied Forces standing mere feet away from their Taliban counterparts.
That could get pear shaped fast.

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.That could get pear shaped fast.
They're scared.

Also all the dreams of midterm election success should take into account that dems are quite busy fortifying the elections and that attention span of average voter is rather short, so Assfuckistan will largely be forgotten by the time of elections.
Their new possible big shot outside of Trump is a moron in Florida pushing an expensive cure rather than a free vaccine.
I'm sorry. Did you just say the "vaccine" is free?
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 very full of chutzpah, I wouldn't wonder that they convinced themselves they could make such a scenario work in their favor by 'controlling the narrative'.Biden isn't going to do that. He can't. He put too much emphasis on leaving and how good of a decision it was and how he can't pass it on. At least if we're out by the 31st, he can say "I still got us out". Sure, it was a complete shitshow, but he still did it. If he goes back in, then not only was all this death and suffering for nothing--but entirely manufactured by him. Then he would most certainly be forced out of office.
That means he sticks to his guns.
Not unexpected, but still. Couple this with the recent admission that it's 'very unlikely' that they can get all Americans out by August 31st...
And how there's been absolute radio silence about any Americans who might be stranded in A-stan's other cities, ex. Herat or Kandahar (surely not every single one of them are in Kabul?)...
Is it just me or are things building up to an entirely predictable, almost certainly avoidable, yet increasingly inevitable and probably years-spanning extended hostage crisis?
