I've made an effort to steer away from politics but I have major concerns regarding our Commander In Chief...

 

I monitor foreign language twitter and picked up on this. My feed showed me the meeting but left this part out that they're covering big time.

Biden fell asleep.

If he doesn't have endurance for a photo op then how does he have the endurance for leadership?

I don't agree with some of his policies, but that isn't the point.  This is about his PHYSICAL fitness to serve.

The Taliban is pulling security for us! Fucking amazing! Drink this in...we're asking the enemy to ensure our security!!!!

The Brits are gone....last flights are departing Karzai Airport...

 

I'm all about open source/transparency...but WHY are we announcing to the world that we're starting to pull our forces out????

 

Wow.

We announced that we've begun pulling our troops out.

What is the reaction?  They're chasing us.  Maintaining contact. Preparing attacks.

An attack likely?

Yeah.  I believe that.  I also believe this thing can still go seriously sideways in a heartbeat.

Side note.  Oh and for those of you that say that the enemy can see us withdrawing?  You're wrong.  If done correctly you can delay enemy recognition of the event.  It's not easy to do but it can be done.  Proper planning is needed but it CAN be done.  The pullout of our troops should announced as a done deal, not in the middle of the event.

"We are witnessing the emergence of an era of missile warfare.." ~ David Berger Commandant USMC

Is he right? Or is this something that will soon be in the dustbin of history?

 

The sad reality for our European friends...specifically the British (that seem to be complaining the most)...

 

 

"the west could not continue this US-led mission [in Afghanistan]... without American logistics, without US airpower, and without American might"

America's leadership (both civilian and military) make a big show of "joint operations and partnerships.  They have tons of dog and pony shows that in reality do nothing but provide opportunities for individuals to have another pic on the "I love me" wall.

The reality is stark.

Not even on the European continent are our allies able to fight alone and win.

Not even in their own backyard.

They have given their citizens LAVISH social programs (in comparison to the US) with one reality.

The US is the guardian for the West.  Does it give us certain benefits?  Once I'm sure.  Today I'm not so sure.

But even with the coming of the Biden Admin one thing is clear.

We don't dance to their tune.

We don't do as they say when they say it.

I'm sure that in certain circles that irritates to no end but personally I'm pleased.

Leadership proved to be quite INCOMPETENT when it came to force protection but were quick to fire a LtCol...

This is just fucking sad.  The SecDef should IMMEDIATELY revoke those orders and reinstate him.

This LtCol is gonna get smashed but he should be promoted...
