Re: AND BEWM.....Bomb expodes at Kabul Airport

I think it is pretty well understood that the president is just a guy that signs shit, and gets on TV and tells how awesome things are. it is on the military leaders that planned the withdrawal, and the ball was most certainly dropped. When we left Iraq, we destroyed all of the military vehicles, that obviously was not done, and I think a room full of 5th graders could have come up with a better exit strategy. it is on Biden to admit that we done f'd up, and you will never see that happen with a US president. it is also on Biden when he thought that he could trust the Taliban when he tried to negotiate a peaceful withdrawal, and took them at their word.

It is their country now, it always was. It is an unwinnable battle.

UK parliament has censured Biden. As far as I know that's

a first in history. Several reports indicate they would not back us militarily as long as the Biden administration is in place. Saudi has signed a military pact with Russia. China's been prodding Taiwan for awhile now and is openly trolling them saying US won't help you. And they probably aren't wrong. You know Japan and South Korea are thinking the same thing. Japan has been rearming for a little while, but now they have leaders outwardly saying they need to be more self sufficient and not rely on the US.

As this was really starting to unravel, the administration went radio silence for like a week. No calls with world leaders, no press conferences. That's a weak look, and our EU allies are openly saying as much.

Now if you're thinking "great, we don't want to be the worlds policemen anymore" you are right to a certain extent. However, showing this amount of incompetence and weakness paves the way for someone or something to replace the dollar as the worlds reserve currency.

That's probably the long term worst case scenario. However, I would look for China in particular to start escalating things with Taiwan through the end of the year, and Russia to start encroaching on territories it wants in the not so distant future.

All of that is aside from the fact that this withdrawal isn't even over, and still has the potential to get much worse.

We had air bases all over Afghanistan. All were abandoned.
