Regarding Afghanistan and beyond; I believe we have passed the point of salvation for our senior military leaders and politicians. We have allowed military and civilian lawyers (read rules of engagement restrictions) to become all powerful and our Generals (indecisive and risk averse) to become nothing more than career seeking politicians. Those are 2 big reasons we have continued to fight and lose wars (we are trained at participating in wars and untrained at winning wars since WWII). AFG is a sad situation, as were the kurds in Iraq, but at least Trump pushed our respect internationally (being tough and smart is better than being tough and stupid). Today I don't believe America is respected the way we were only a few short months ago. More countries visit China these days than come to the U.S. and China is prepped to recognize the Taliban once they declare the Islamic State simply to embarrass us. My sense is Taiwan is having some incredibly uncomfortable internal discussions (American apathy is likely starting to sink in). As are a lot of US allies in Europe. I also believe China is doing a lot of war gaming of costs and benefits currently with respect to the south China sea and Europe. We are now in a fully engaged information war. Soon it may be worse—I pray our senior military leadership is intensely planning all options—the best plan offers the most options at the last possible moment. So now we wait. Trust me, our enemies are not waiting. They plan and they don’t care about stupid mask policies or fake insurrection BS. Our enemies will be working on the next three vulnerabilities we haven't even thought about. I believe Russia and China are clear eyed on our corrupt political leadership that they and many other nations no longer respect nor fear. America will come back and soon but it will come at a cost. If the bureaucracy in WDC (esp., DOD, State and the IC) want to keep acting like utopian ideologues, we will lose, if you find your courage, we will win. I say step up, stand up and straighten up your backbones, demand far better from your leaders and let’s start winning again.

Pretty devastating piece by @LizSly on how U.S. allies are appalled at the rout in Afghanistan and the absence of U.S. consultations with them, as well as the growing doubts about U.S. credibility with regard to its allies: https://t.co/xYaB115Mj7

Afghanistan’s collapse leaves allies questioning U.S. resolve on other fronts
Allies and rivals say the fall of Kabul to the Taliban raises doubts about other US foreign policy promises.

We asked Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki for a statement on Afghanistan.
The response was an auto reply saying "I will be out of the office from August 15th-August 22nd."

We The People are the plan. Stop with all the nonsense. The founders started with creating individual liberties first then went from there. Our constitution was created from the bottom up (thank God) and we have sacrificed much to keep life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Stop complaining and get involved in your local community.

Correct order of operations:
1. Shred sensitive documents.
2. Evacuate civilians and allies.
3. Pull out military.
4. Announce end of fighting.
Not the opposite.

Wait until you hear how Antifa people are funded. It’s organized crime… “no show” jobs just like the mafia. Funneling money and awards in earmarks for those who play ball. Family members… you cannot make this up.
I told you it’s about to get real. Whistleblowers at the courthouse, whistleblowers in companies, nonprofits and more.
I told them not to poke the bear.
You don’t want me to go the distance…
Deuteronomy 32:35
To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.

Remember, nobody knew where the hell Obama was on the night of Benghazi either.
You know how some of us have always talked about the need to project strength and the old saying that, “to secure peace is to prepare for war?”
You know how President Trump would always brag about our badass military and how they could ice anyone, anywhere, anytime ?
Now you see how that works.

A lifelong Democrat friend asked me last night what I though about what was going on in Afghanistan.
I told her she probably didn’t want to hear it, but she asked me to tell her anyway - so here’s my thoughts. We’re either seeing:
1. The result of the Taliban leadership negotiating in Beijing for China to use their puppet (Biden) to give the Taliban new weapons & toys in exchange for them not harassing the Chinese mining firms moving into Afghanistan.
Or
2. The intelligence / Military Industrial Complex ensuring that we have to go back there and continue the forever war.
Both seem pretty likely right now. Pay attention to the narrative that develops over the next week and we’ll know which it is.

👆🏼 we also know that the Taliban was created and is run (handled) by the ISI (Pakistani version of the CIA, who also had a hand in the November fraud).
Given that the US & India are close allies, and Pakistan is more closely aligned with China than us (despite the billions we gave Pakistan in the GWOT), many of the signs seem to point to option 1.
The only thing pointing towards option 2 is that the media and social media companies who we've seen time & again censor any news coming out that's harmful to the Biden regime are allowing the pics & vids of the fall of Kabul circulate.
Hell, even Jake Tapper, one of the regime's favored propagandists, made harsh comments towards Biden last night.
Again, pay attention to the narratives that they begin to push- those will be the "tell."

For over a decade, military officers on the ground were NOT ALLOWED to submit reports to higher that gave the ground truth- training the ANA was going terribly.
I heard stories of Captains having to re-writw their reports to make them compete lies so the charade could keep going and the flag officers could continue to pat themselves on the back & military contractors could keep the taxpayer money flowing.
That's why none of us who served over there are surprised that the ANA folded immediately.
They've been doing that in nearly every engagement for 20 years.

Boy they were quick to announce that Afghan refugees are coming here - just like the "Syrian refugees" that created "no-go zones" across Europe.
I bet these will all be military aged males as well.
Almost like it's a plan or something.

Chinese propaganda already telling Taiwan that Afghanistan is a look at things to come.
This is why you don't allow fraudulent elections putting known adversarial puppets in charge to stand.
