The Era of Biden

[Smitty-48]

My Papa said that a long time ago, he also said that if we actually left them alone and didn't do shit with their countries, they probably still would be majority nomadic tribes now.

well there are threats to America in the mix

but it's not one big threat that requires boots on the ground

but even with 9-11, that wasn't a Domino falling

the NSA was tracking that cell, the FBI could have just arrested them at the airport when they arrived

even when the shit hits the fan, it's not a Domino thing

If we didn't break apart the Ottoman Empire

well, at one point the Ottomans themselves were the threat, they invaded Europe

but over 600 years, they moderated into an European style empire, European culture invaded them

at which point, they lost the edge which made them so tough in the first place

eventually the Ottoman Empire became the Sick Man of Europe

Britain & France than went to war against Russia in the Crimea, to prevent Russia from taking Turkey

with the rise of Germany as a unified state under the Prussians however, the Central Powers were born

then in World War One, these Central Powers threatened the Suez Canal, the linchpin of the British Empire

so the British secret service sent T.E. Lawrence in to organize the Arab revolt

the Ottomans then collapsed, and the Middle East has been a basket case ever since

the British have already fought all these wars, Afghanistan, Palestine, Iraq, etcetera

the way America got caught up in all this, was that Wall Street bailed the British Empire out in 1916

it was a bankruptcy takeover

at which point, the former British Empire became an entrenched interest to the Washington -Wall Street Axis

Well, the Arab luddite revolts started in the 18th C. when the Ottoman Sultans started to modernize to keep up with the West. But the traditionalists were having none of it and the Jannissarys revolted. Eventually the Sultans got rid of the Jannissarys, but that didn't solve the same problem that exists today. These people refuse to modernize.

This isn't a 20th or 21st C. issue, this is a 300 year old issue.

Yeah, but you give a chimp a AK-47, and what do you expect to happen?



The same goes with the middle east, the tech they are playing with isn't even in their caliber, but they are deadly because they have an inkling how to use it...

Also, it may be a 300-year-old issue, but it still doesn't mean it's not a problem we don't have to deal with now.

the enemy camps against God fearing decent American folk are pretty obvious

never mind Kabul

it's Washington, Wall Street, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, Disneyworld, and Portlandia

Taliban are overrunning the airport. Biden threatens ‘not letting them engage with the west’.
This could not be more of a shitshow.

I don't see the Taliban as being a threat to America

let them have the Kabul airport, I was never going to be using it anyways

as for ISIS-K, the Taliban will be fighting a counterinsurgency against them before too long

if there is a target of opportunity, strike from the sea with the 5th Fleet

George Kennan's Containment with air & seapower, mostly drones

ISIS K is small, they can’t do anything. This is their last gasp. Can’t have a mission statement of implementing an Islamic state than fight the group that is implementing said Islamic state.

they only way some ISIS-K fucker is gonna make it to America, is if the Woke Pentagon brings him to you

they are infiltrated into the population, these people being evacuated to safety are lousy with ISIS-K no doubt

just cut the rope, get the fuck out of there, then bomb the shit out of them from standoff range as necessary

it's like Tucker Carlson & Glenn Greenwald summed this up

this whole "disaster" is a deliberate attempt by the CIA to pull on America's heart strings, so they can go back in

this is just a stunt, so they can invoke the Domino Theory plus the Humanitarian Pixie Dust

just turn away, it's all a Deep State grift

the drug cartels on the southern border is where the terrorist threat is emanating from, Trump knows

I think it’s more likely cover for all of the election audits. They’re manufacturing a Gulf of Tonkin to distract from the fall of the Republic.
