CBS sources say 10,000 Americans waiting evacuation !!!!😧


What's really got me wondering about the odds of a bloodbath is...there's honestly no delicate way to word it...How long until the Taliban get tired of looking at everyone huddled on the tarmac out there, and just open fire?

Because I wouldn't put it past them to start WW3 at the airport, to get their revenge Middle Finger in.

The Good 'Ol Boys and patriots within the United States wouldn't fight an entity like the Taliban handcuffed by self imposed artificial rules of engagement and civilities that only one side ever follows, so no... the Taliban would literally have their asses fed to them by Americans if they tried that crap here. 'Though we make walk through the valley of the shadow of death we will fear no evil, for we are the evilest mofos in the valley.' isn't just a cutesy line from a movie, it's actually an accurate sentiment on what Americans are capable of when pushed against the wall by any entity that doesn't have the ability to individually bankrupt them through the US kangaroo court system....

They are likely to wait. Unfortunately, they're going to rape the everloving crap out of the Afghani people the instant those they were handsomely paid to not attack are gone from Afghani soil.

I'd like to think so, too, but...It simply feels like a trap being livestreamed, Burd. The ol' internal Bull#dar is pinging heavy on the "calm" right now.

This was easy to see coming. You had to be pretty dead in the head to not expect this. Enter biden...

The afgan troops were severely undersupplied, mainly due to corruption in the country. When US troops pulled out the afgans fought for a little while, until it became obvious that no support was coming. Seeing what was in front of them and having a clear shot out the back, the choice was obvious. The taliban had little resistance all the way to the palace. Now they control the country. Way to go biden. And no, you don't get to blame Trump.

If you think this ends with afganistan and the taliban, you are just as daft as biden.

Save for Vietnam.

Fat cat politicians forfeited the win, turned their backs on the south Vietnamese, and worst of all the made irrelevant the sacrifices of so many American men. All the blood, sweat, and tears. All the horror and trauma. All the nights in the bush.

They did it all over again with Vietnam.

"They" weren't there to win the war. 20 years and 2 Trillion Dollars? "They" had some other agenda.

It's Vietnam all over again. Our men won that war - hands down. In fact, they completely slaughtered them. They beat them into submission until North Vietnam agreed to terms. They knew out politicians were weak, so they lightly tested the red lines. When our fat cats didn't give a care the North Vietnamese knew the game was theirs, and they took the war.

The agenda was never to "win" the war anyway. There was nothing strategic to the overall war efforts. Our men took critical locations through hard fought battles, and then they were ordered to abandon it. Naturally the North Vietnamese always took it back once our men were gone. That's an example. Our military absolutely won that war without a doubt. Our politicians are the ones who lost it.

Fast forward to Afghanistan. It's the same disgraceful story. They have some other agenda. Our men and women have been crushing it. They've dominated the middle east. By all acounts the war should have been won by now. Clearly, the overall war game has not been played to win, or we would have by now especially with that much money spent.

No, the big bad "they" must have had ulterior motives.

My point is, of course Biden pulled us out. Of course the Taliban retool control. Of course our politicians turned their backs on the Afghani people. Of course our "president" essentially spat in the faces of all those service men and women who served in those 20 years.

It'll happen next time too unless the country starts voting for representatives who are actually in touch with us.

Mullah Baradar is making his first statement



This reflects poorly on everyone in our government, past and present. This Mullah was released from a Pakistani prison in 2018 at the recommendation of Zalmay Khalilzad, whom Pompeo appointed to assist in Afghani reconciliation.

Based on his Wiki page, his position with our government ended yesterday, but doesn't say why. I don't know if he was fired or if he resigned.

I'm sorry, but we can not continue to trust middle easterners in official capacities of our government. THEY can't even trust each other, so why do we?

I think the Taliban are now putting their own air traffic controllers in the towers. That's scary.

The Taliban have entered Kabul and captured the presidential palace. The Afghani president has fled the country. They are changing the name of the country back to the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. We spent 20 years and over 2 trillion dollars there and lost thousands of American lives, only for it all to unravel in a week.

The Talbian have retaken control of Afghanistan




After about a weeklong military surge that has led to the Taliban capturing nearly all of Afghanistan, President Ashraf Ghani flew out of the country on Sunday morning, Afghan National Reconciliation Council chief Abdullah Abdullah said in a video, paving the way for the Taliban to take control of Kabul. The American flag at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul was also removed as personnel at the location fled to a nearby airport


I personally don't think we should have left. They were obviously not ready to defend their country.

The Taliban celebrate their new holiday today, one year after President Joe Biden's botched withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan.

Thanks, Joe!!!

Women should be allowed to leave Afghanistan...

The Taliban on Tuesday immediately suspended classes for women in universities in Afghanistan until further notice, according to a letter from the higher education minister.

Girls were already prohibited from returning to secondary schools earlier this year after the schools were shut down hours before they were scheduled to reopen for the first time since the U.S. withdrawal in August 2021.

Minister for Higher Education Neda Mohammad Nadim wrote Tuesday in a letter that all public and private higher educational institutes must "immediately implement the mentioned order of suspending education of females until further notice," Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty reported.

Lets be honest.
Afghanistan has no need for a
Male wet nurse, or drag queens to
read books to kids.
Home schooling is
best anywhere, now a days.

As for universities,
yes Afghan women
that can afford it are geared to where their
labor force is needed, as Female Doctors,
Female Gynecologists . . .
Also take in to account that
Afghans have been through war, and their
population has been decimated.
They don't need feminists or any gay cult
to de-stablize their community more
than it already is.
It's ironic AND a lie that the 'west'
claims to care
all while our own kids education has
gone into the crapper.


Colonial Expansionism sucks like a Virus,
same as our 'news media'
