The Debacle in Afghanistan

Biden and Trump share responsibility for the looming defeat.

Former Defense Secretary Bob Gates famously wrote that President Biden has been on the wrong side of every major foreign-policy issue in his long career. The world is getting another example as Mr. Biden’s hell-bent, ill-planned withdrawal from Afghanistan is turning into a strategic defeat and moral debacle.

The Taliban march to Kabul continues with the fall of more provincial capitals each day. The last count was 12 capitals, including Ghazni City on the road between the major cities of Kandahar and Kabul. Reinforcing Afghan forces defending Kandahar will become harder if the road is blocked.

The Afghan government is trying to mount a counterattack, and President Ashraf Ghani has sacked another army chief. But the Taliban now controls at least eight entire provinces, according to the Long War Journal, and its reach includes areas in the north that the Taliban didn’t control when it ruled the country before 9/11. The city of Herat also fell Thursday, and Kandahar could be next.

I honestly thought he pulled the Chan since the whole QAnon thing was trending earlier today, started at 5000, ended at over 20,000 tweets.

That's what it takes.

Been lurking since Charlottesville car of Peace if Anons remember it. Been one hell of a ride since.

Much of the work that keeps NYC functioning is done between 3 and 5 a.m. by people with trucks, dollies, vacuum cleaners, hoses, air compressors, & wet rags. They’re gone by the time the fancier folks wake up and go around acting like they own the place

Here’s to the night shift

Right, no one cared until Q came out on the scene. I managed to cover the drops and added to my socials, but managed to avoid the purge.
