timeline

Kabul government wasn't a party to the Doha talks between the US and the Taliban. The Taliban has agreed on securing borders with Iran and Central Asian states to stop the flow of terrorist groups from Afghanistan.

"The Taliban never fully controlled the north of the country when they were in power, and seem intent on securing it this time possibly before closing in on the capital."
The military has been doing "train, advise, assist" for years. My husband worked side by side with them doing so for at least 5 years.

That is very, very true. My neighbor sheriffs deputy out right confirmed that with me.

The rats may honk the talk about getting the “rich people “ but they know better to go into those neighborhoods. There were small towns that geared up and sent a good enough message that the incoming disturbance never materialized as a result.

The pipeline had the sanctions removed on behalf of Germany, and the US should not be involved anyway since that is a deal between two other countries. Fact is, the sanctions were placed because Ukraine was crying they will no longer get money from the transit fees; Germany gets the gas anyway, but the Nord 2 will just bypass Ukraine, thus denying money from it.

The US stepped in on behalf of Ukraine. The Pipeline was still being built, and it would have put the US in an awkward situation where they would have to sanction all of Germany if they started using the gas,

Someone said this but I can't remember who..."The jury is still out. But the likelihood there's going to be a Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely.

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerer of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to Mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds...
Oh Lord yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor

Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'till their judgment day comes, yeah!

Now in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of Judgment, God is calling
On their knees the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings...
Oh Lord, yeah!

He also sent thousands of reserve troops to Kuwait and Qatar in case the crap really hits the fan.

How stupid does one have to be to announce our withdrawal to the world, then do so before withdrawing all US civilians from the embassy?

This is Biden’s Saigon and Benghazi moment.

You are obsessed with Trump. Guess what, Biden is going to leave a big mess for his successor.

Is Biden so clueless that he didn’t know this was going to happen?

Here’s what will happen next:
- Embassy evacuation
- Troop evacuation
- Saigon situation
- Refugee crisis
- Regional instability

Then when Kabul falls, and it will, he’s going to send troops right back in.

Not one window broken, not one store spraypainted, not one person assaulted, not one cop attacked.
You might have a point if 85% of the nation opposed cult of BLM, antifa, and the Democratic Party which supports and promotes them. We are essentially like an Afghanistan where our president and leaders of the elected government are endorsing the Taliban.

We just had a presidential election, and half the country voted for the candidate that was openly pro BLM. Our president is flying the Marxist BLM flag at our US embassies overseas. We are being attacked by an enemy within our own government.
