A Made-in-America Disaster

AUG 15, 2021

 

The collapse of Kabul is the worst American humiliation since the fall of Saigon.

 

Iraq has a sectarian Shi’ite government allied to Iran.

 

The Sunnis we disenfranchised by destroying the Ba’ath Party of Iraq fell in large proportion to non-state Sunni actors, al-Qaeda and ISIS. Our attempt to co-opt the Sunni jihadists through Gen. Petraeus’s “Sunni Awakening” of 2009 and the CIA’s support for the Sunni opposition to Syria’s Assad government created an intractable, well-trained, global jihad movement. Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn warned in 2012.

 

Our blundering in Syria drew in the Russians, who have returned to the Middle East as a key player, now joined by the Chinese.

 

We wasted $5 trillion of treasure and lost tens of thousands of lives — including 60,000 military suicides prompted by the horrible futility of it all, as Erik Prince told Tucker Carlson last week. If we had spent a tenth of that money on a Moonshot-style drive to master frontier military technologies, we would not be struggling to catch up with China.

 

Donald Trump had the right idea: Work with Russia to stabilize Syria, and get our people out. The foreign policy establishment tried to oust him for alleged “collusion” with Russia. Now the foreign policy establishment is back in power, and all they can do is turn tail and flee, leaving the Afghanis to the butchery of the Taliban.

 

America had so much power thirty years ago after the collapse of the Soviet Union that no power in the world could take it away. We dumbed it away. In one generation we have gone from unprecedented strategic triumph to abject humiliation. We did this to ourselves. There’s no one else to blame. It’s time for a long, hard look at our foreign policy establishment, and a big broom to clean it out.

Mike Lindell delivered me home to my family.

 

People underestimate Mike Lindell.

 

I don't.

 

I have a strong feeling that Mike is going to deliver the American people honest and accountable elections in the future.
