"How would it be if the United States were viewed by the rest of the world as interfering with the elections directly of other countries and everybody knew it? What would it be like if we engaged in activities that he engaged in? It diminishes the standing of a country." *Puppet meme CIA looks back, looks forward* |

Biden not afaid to use F15's and nukes on domestic militias. That'll show em.
|
Looks like Afghanistan is about to enter its next phase of the cycle of violence. Biden has achieved a box ticking exercise. I mean, the troop withdrawal is genuine, but the only thing this achieves is Biden can claim he ended an endless war.
Taliban are already sweeping the country, taking US equipment from abandoned Afghan government outposts as soldiers flee. |
If I was Ashraf Ghani I'd be gassing up the private jet right about now.

But now they have freedom, right?

I bet the fate of Mohammad Najibullah is weighing on the minds of Ghani and his inner circle right now. Looks to be a very similar setup.

I think Petraeus's plan would have worked. There was a period of real progress, or at least the appearance of progress. But they went with a cut back version of his bare minimum option, cycled him out, shit fell back to its usual holding pattern.
|
And if Petraeus hadn't been putting his dick in crazy, maybe the plan would have been implemented, and maybe we'd be living in a different world.
|
That didn't come out until well after the fact. Right? And that book is great, lolz.

U.S. Quietly Slips Out Of Afghanistan In Dead Of Night 7/18/11 8:00AM https://www.theonion.com/u-s-quietly...ght-1819572778 |
“Negotiating” with Taliban.
U.S. officials provided Taliban with names of Americans, Afghan allies to evacuate https://www.politico.com/news/2021/0...vacuate-506957 “ In written and verbal communications, Gen. Frank McKenzie, commander of U.S. Central Command, and Rear Adm. Peter Vasely, head of U.S. forces on the ground in Afghanistan, have referred to the Taliban as “our Afghan partners,” according to two defense officials.” |

At least 12 US soldiers dead in a suicide bombing at Kabul airport.

Taliban now hanging "traitors" from helicopters instead of the usual bridges and cranes.

Regarding the safe passage list, Beau of the Fifth Column has a pretty sensible take.

Biden announces Indo-Pacific alliance with UK, Australia
It's not mentioned in the article, but Biden mentioned it during the announcement, which is that the alliance will include working together on quantum and AI tech. I for one welcome our new quantum AI overlords. |
Also not announced: NZ declined involvement.
I dunno, I've been following this story all day and something about it seems more "dead cat on the table" attention-grabber than actual international realpolitik. |
And yet Jacinda was quick to say no change to 5-eyes. Might just be Lange throwback - like we could afford a nuclear sub anyway.
We can still send up US defence force rockets though. Then again, it might be weighted on CCP affiliations too... |
Tell me you're at war with China without telling me you're at war with China.
also "that guy down under." lol. |
The French are pissed. Aus just went yeah/nah on a big submarine deal that was already underway in France in favour of being in the big boys club.
Maybe we could ask France for a hookup? |
|
I love the burn France gave the UK. Pulled diplomats from Aus and US. Said it didn't need to worry about the "junior partner".
|
Chappelle news cycle has lasted longer than Afghanistan news cycle.
|
JFK records reburied. Gotta wait until all CIA assassins involved are dead, I guess.
|
Youtube just banned "Lets go Brandon", ensuring millions more people will listen to it. Only repeat approved double speak, plebs!

I see sleepy Joe is making an impression in Glasgow.

the height of hypocricy and he couldn't even be bothered to take a No Doz during the event.
|
I dunno, I feel for the guy. He's trying to do right by the people of the US, but he just can't overcome all that cash. The US going down the gurgler is bad for all of us.
He could get $trillions if he was going to war in a snap, but money for the American people? Yeah, nah to that. We gonna see the US show up more and more in /r/catastrophicfailure as shit crumbles. |
So the Hunter Biden laptop story which was "debunked" and called "Russian disinformation", and got publishers banned from social media for running it - is actually legit.

Not likely the cycle will go on and on. Left says fake, right says real. Right says fake, left says real. |

I've taken the time to understand the situation. It's one of those things that whatever the actual case is, I'll never know. About as worth investing energy in as gossip.
