The Era of Biden

[Smitty-48]

America has no natural enemies, except perhaps Canada

We'll get to Canada next, believe you me.

What's this? Snark?

not at all, Canada is the ultimate Anti-America

that is the essence of Canada, what Canada is all about

come and save me from these freedom hating lunatics, America, please do

don't threaten me with a good time

woop woop

How does leaving Afghanistan to the Taliban hurt China or strike a blow against big pharma?

in terms of hurting China, it is drawing them down a rabbit hole

making Pakistan China's problem is a good thing

let them get drawn into that

this was the original mission in Afghanistan, way back in 1979

let the Communists get dragged into that quagmire, make it into their Vietnam

Vietnam was already the Communists Vietnam.

China benefits whenever America looks weak, loses allies, and loses influence.

America is weak, there's no way to solve that problem in Afghanistan tho

[Hanarchy Montanarchy]

what competitor is being contained by America remaining in a quagmire in Afghanistan?

none

it is not of any use whatsoever

China, Russia, Pakistan - I mean, other than the Woke, which enemies aren't in that region?

You can keep saying there is no point to having functional airbases under our control, and you can keep being wrong.

/shrug

America have all the bases they need to attack any terrorists they want in Afghanistan

without having to stay in Afghanistan

let China have it

it's a quagmire for them to get bogged down in

never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake

Capps' Art of War: Whatever, that airbase is lame, I didn't even want that one, I've got other ones.

Real sharp strategic thinking. Ceding territory by leaving in a huff because, hey, at least the Taliban aren't Woke.

not at all, Canada is the ultimate Anti-America

that is the essence of Canada, what Canad is all about

I agree with your assessment; it's Hanny's over-the-top response that undermines his credulity in this discussion.

not if those allies aren't worth staying in a quagmire for

and not if "looking weak" causes China to make a mistake that rallies their enemies against them, especially allies that aren't worth the effort

and both are the case, in this instance

You are just making up counterfactual evidence now.

You are welcome to enjoy your fantasy foreign policy, I've little use for it.

cling to wasteful redundancies to stop China from charging into a quagmire

talk about strategic thinking

ha ha ha

staying in Afghanistan makes America weaker, chump

Yes, I was literally recommending a Canadian invasion force.

And you accuse ME of being disingenuous.

well just bear in mind, America's first Vietnam was Canada

James Madison said it would be a walkover

but the British recruited the Mohawks to be their Viet Cong

then America resorted to burning the village to save the village

then an enemy of America was made

and it has been fighting against the Declaration of Independence ever since and to this day
