These guys have been fighting each other for over 1000 years. #e. Shia. 100 other tribes and factions. The Taliban is brutal and there is an entire generation who has grown up post 9/11 and does not have a clue.

Pompeo had a great interview and it was amazing how Wallace tried to swing this. This is worth the watch and Pompeo lays it all out.



Wallace actually tries to blame him and the reactions are great.

Defending what joe just did by any means necessary must be exhausting with all that lying and making stuff up.






I am not defending him, that is why you think it is all lies. Red puppet good, Blue puppet baaaad. You all just want to believe the lie that Afghanistan could be modernized, westernized, democratized and that you could drag them out of sharia law, which they willingly choose.

You want to talk crap about biden the dementia patients administration? How about the multi trillion dollar spending bills, full of more authoritarianism and control. Like the "infrastructure" bill with barely any money for repairing and rebuilding the infrastructure of the country. How about the propaganda and authoritarian push to use businesses to force vaccinate the American population against their will. I can bash on Biden all day too.

In fairness and truth and can bash the globalist puppets on the right as well, the ones you never blame and always excuse for all their corruption and bad actions. Trump rebranded and renegotiated NAFTA as the USMCA and all the conservatives that railed against NAFTA for years suddenly liked it. How about the massive spending for the already over bloated and corrupt military industrial complex, that hemorrhages money in graft and outright theft by contractors and administrators.
How about the lockdowns and warp speed vaccines that would have happened no matter who is in power.

The left are full of crap when they chastise trump for his reaction to the pandemic after the fact and with hindsight. But the right are full of crap when they think Trump is an outsider to the elite and a friend and savior to the people.

Partisans on both sides are just brainwashed and dishonest. They couldn't see or speak the truth if their lives depended on it.

Oh for sure. I made this same point the other day. Something like 60% of Afghanistan's population is under 25. They have no idea what life is gonna be like under the Taliban. If they think we were assholes just wait. And I'm sure the women are gonna be thrilled to become slaves again.

Keep trying as long as you want.

It won't work.



Brainwashed democrats put joe in the Whitehouse.

When his senile was already completely obvious.

JOE did the rest all by himself.

There is NO defense for what JOE just did.

NONE.

Yet brainwashed democrats are here, flailing about trying to find some way, any way, to make this someone else's fault.

(some like you anyway, most appear to be hiding in shame)

The Taliban fighters are not old men, they are young men in their fighting prime. The truth is the US established government only really held the cities. The settlements, villages and towns in the surrounding country side were all Taliban controlled, by local militia forces. Those militia forces were made up of the tribal and government councils of those towns, who were aligned with and are the Taliban.

Of course it won't work. I don't expect to over ride generations of partisan brainwashing. The two corrupt parties are not even necessary for the function of the government and didn't even exist until the mid 1800s. George Washington himself had this to say about a two party system infected with the spirit of the party:




I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the State, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally.

This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists under different shapes in all governments, more or less stifled, controlled, or repressed; but, in those of the popular form, it is seen in its greatest rankness, and is truly their worst enemy.

The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.


www.wthrockmorton.com...

The only thing that could actually change most partisans mind would be intensive deprogramming from the corrupt and controlled two party system.

But, go ahead keep overlooking the sins of your party. It has been working so well for the nation.

Not me.

The name they choose has no effect on me.




YOU are attempting to smear anyone possible in effort to defend what JOE just did.

And can't even see it through the brainwashing.

And frankly I always get that crap from both sides. Republicans think I am a crypto democrat. Democrats think I am a crypto republican. I am use to it. It just further illustrates the gross delusion and half blindness of partisans on either side.

You are right now. You haven't even once mentioned, Bush jr, Donald Rumsfield, Dick Cheney or any of the republicans who were involved and equally responsible for the mess in Afghanistan as democrats, obama and Biden.

In fact the funny thing is you won't even mention Obama's involvement, because it seems your degraded attention span only stretches back as far the current and last administrations.

Much like the proles in 1984 you don't remember the wars before the current war or the propaganda before the current propaganda.

Right now you are making great effort (over several days) to defend what JOE just did.

That makes you a BRAINWASHED DEMOCRAT.



I really don't care what your friend thinks, or what country you are in, or who you say you voted for in the past.

Race, gender & religion don't matter either.

Only democrats care about that stuff.

Your words here are all that matters.

Your words have repeatedly been used in effort to defend the indefensible.

What JOE just did.

Nobody but brainwashed democrat would ever attempt such a thing.

Even most democrats know better.

Or haven't you noticed that they appear to be hiding in shame right now.

That makes you an EXTREME BRAINWASHED DEMOCRAT.

And not a very intelligent one.

No you are just a brainwashed republican. I personally would like to see both parties abandoned and abolished and restoration of the government to the principles of which it was founded. The constitution, including the bill of rights, freedom, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

I know it will never happen though because partisans keep voting for the two corrupt parties and feeding the beast.

You label anyone who disagrees with you as democrat and you don't even notice when I attack Biden and am clearly not defending him or his administration, but you question my intelligence? You are not even using your brain or judgment at all.

I can be against the entirety of the Afghanistan nation building bullcrap and not be supporting Biden. I think you need more coffee you are still half asleep.

Did any of those people cancel the promised air support?

Were any involved in decision to not evacuate 86,000 Americans now trapped there?

Were any responsible for joe forgetting his intelligence briefing?

(he actually just said this on tv)

Did any of them decide to give all that military gear to taliban?



Funny when the brainwashed just can't stop.



JOE did this.

All by himself.

NOBODY else is to blame.

Except the brainwashed democrats who put him there, and continue to defend his actions right now.

Like YOU.

Your back to defending regime change and nation building like a broken record; circular logic isn't really logic. Nation building is a failed policy of every nation going back to the first empires. But this time you and your air suppourt is going to change all that.

The Soviets told us what would happen in Afghanistan, like the French told us would happen in Vietnam. People like you in the military; really Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney said, no you are both just weak, we will show you how it's done. In the end we can't do it either and only wasted lives and resources trying. For twenty years we couldn't get it done. We weren't getting it done today or even tomorrow either. It is just a failed policy,

Militaries don't build nations, they break stuff and kill people. They are very good at it. When they killed Bin Laden and the principle power structure of Al Qaida operating in Afghanistan their mission and expertise was done. The nation building is a farce. It always been a farce.

Actually you are. You keep babbling on about air support. Why? Because at the heart of your argument, you believe Afghanistan could be regime changed and nation built into a western democracy. We will never agree on that. Because, I am not ringing my hands over what Biden did, I must be defending him. I am not. I would have pulled out as soon as the mission was done. We pulled out now. I am satisfied. I don't care how it was done, it was done. I was against the nation building from the beginning and will be till the end. It's just the way it is.

Partisan bullcrap doesn't even apply.

The new Afghanistan leadership just said they're not into politics.

They're invoking and enforcing Sharia law in Afghanistan, and that's the end of the discussion.

I take it Sharia law is the version of Muslim brotherhood that suppresses women?

Yes Sharia law is what most of those countries choose. It is awful, but if they don't want it. It's there battle to fight. Saudi Arabia has Sharia law. They oppress, maim and kill, their women and homosexuals to. I never hear any of the defenders of regime change in Afghanistan call for the invasion of Saudi Arabia and regime changing the House of Saud out of power.
