So the US Government knew so little about what was happening in Afghanistan that they had no idea the Afghan Security Forces would evaporate and the Taliban immediately take over, but they were able to find within 24 hours the precise ISIS-K "planner" to kill? OK.

Yeah...Greenwald explains why I haven't covered those drone strikes....I don't buy it for one minute...
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.ABD Başkanı Joe Biden, İsrail Başbakanı Naftali Bennett ile görüşmesi sırasında uykuya daldı. pic.twitter.com/A7ZVBrRQFV

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 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.JUST IN - New attack in #Kabul is "highly likely in the next 24-36 hours," Biden says in a new statement. pic.twitter.com/jCUErnfQc2

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.

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)...
There it is: Boris Johnson sets out the "hard reality" that "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.
