The Biden Administration Will Recognize the Taliban as Afghanistan's Legitimate Government.

a reply to: face23785


You are correct.

Is a seemingly impossible challenge.

That doesn't change anything else I've said.

We are accustomed to doing what everyone else believes is impossible.

Sometimes it's difficult or messy, and frequently takes longer than we'd like.

But we're Americans damnit.

Nothing is impossible.

It's in our genes.

Those are great lines for a bumper sticker but I'm not sure they reflect reality.

When all your peaceful means to resist have been removed, what other options do you have?

In theory, you should be able to use your free speech to convince other people to the value of your ideas and vote with you through honest discussion. But free speech is being curtailed via cancel culture, social media bias, and the corruption of the education system. Only one set of ideas is being taught in classrooms. Only one set of ideas is prevalent in the primary communication means for a huge swath of our voters.

In theory, you should be able to count on the free press to present all sides of the issues so other people may see the value of your ideas and vote with you. But the media is almost exclusively propaganda for one side. Many voters will never even hear, let alone get to evaluate, the views of people like you and those who agree with you.

And even if those things weren't happening, if the elections aren't free and fair, no amount of grass roots, bottom up activism is going to help.

I'm not advocating for violence. I had to take early retirement from the military due to health problems. I'm in no shape to fight anyway. I'm just asking you what else you think you've got left.

The Afghan citizens do object to the Taliban taking over.But,
they can't take their firearms and defend whatever system
of government they want.Why? because the Taliban are going
door-to-door TAKING their firearms from them.

Following President Biden's major Afghanistan speech yesterday, this official's brutal honesty about the man he voted for (Joe Biden),

It's worth watching, The Biden Administration has hung these friends of America, out to dry. Tens of thousands of them.

That was heart wrenching. This is a nightmare.

I think removing Biden from office was in their plans from
the beginning.Have him being a figurehead for about two
years and then replacing him with Harris later.

Yes it is. I had not considered that over 60,000 Afghan citizens are in danger of being executed simply because they assisted the Americans over the past 20 years.

By taking over the country the Taliban also now has access to everybody's personal information in the country. They will hunt them down and punish those who worked for and with the US military, and us contractors.

Fox News says executions are taking place on street corners.

If you guys honestly believe the elections are rigged, what's your alternative? You're not gonna change things by voting then. The Founders did give us a way to fight tyranny.

I've been trying to say this without getting removed for months now

Kamala Harris has an even lower ability to multitask than Joe Biden does.

I understand.

Not much different myself.

Except no military background.



I don't have the answers you're looking for.

But am confident we will eventually find them.

We have to.

The alternative is unthinkable.

Biden administration press briefing just said the Taliban will guarantee safe passage of everyone who wants to leave, to the airport up through August 31st.

The Taliban are installing their own air traffic controllers, who will ensure all planes take off and land safely.

Imagine if this was Trump. We would never hear the end of it. But it is Biden so it is just another news day. What a #ing disaster.

What's even worse is a White House correspondent just reported Joe Biden is squirreled away at camp David... not accepting any incoming calls from other world leaders, and not initiating any outbound calls to other world leaders.

He does not want to talk about Afghanistan in any way, shape, or form...To anyone.

Guaranteeing safe passage for refugees fleeing the country? Is that code for monitoring and documenting dissidents for disciplinary purposes?

a reply to: TzarChasm

Something is totally off, because Joe Biden's National security advisor just said it's possible some Americans and pro-America Afghans will have to be left behind.

He can not talk personally with anybody without losing his state of mind and going on a rampage of unintelligent babbling.

Lord have mercy, can we take that incompetent senile out of the white house? what in the heck, the Democrats are now aware that they are destroying the nation?

a reply to: 20Eyes1974

Not very bright person who proudly voted for not very bright Biden and the rest of the circus.
They should wear red clown noses so that people can identify them.

a reply to: carewemust

You can't really blame him for wanting to be left alone.
Any rumors to his incompetence were finally verified
when he pulled our troops out and abandoned our citizens
and allies to the Taliban.

a reply to: marg6043

The people he surrounded himself with are just as disastrous.

Biden officials just notified all Americans in Afghanistan to get to the Kabul airport as soon as possible. There are tens of thousands of them.

Some people are being beat up by Taliban thugs as they get close to the airport.

Others are not making it past checkpoints.

Now United States is telling all Americans to rush to the airport asap?
