The Era of Biden

[Smitty-48]

Tell that to the Waffen SS.

Oh, you can't. They had their arses handed to them.

they didn't go down easy tho, they fought to the last

and it was only Soviet alpha males who beat them

and those Soviets were just as if not more evil than the SS

moreover, once the Soviet alphas killed the German alphas. they went about raping the German women

the Taliban do that too

apex predator alpha males

War is Hell.

in the end tho, this is the righteous result in progress

i don't view the Taliban as the bad guys, I never did

they rose up against the drug dealers and associated child prostitution

NATO sided with those criminals against the Taliban men

now the Taliban are driving the invaders out and executing the traitors

I don't hold it against them, that's what I would do too

[Smitty-48]

bear in mind the narrative of the Taliban being particularly monstrous

that's all propaganda, that is what the media says about me too

I am a monster like the Taliban to the Western Progressives

the Taliban & me are in the same basket of Deplorables

Yep
Officially the biggest threat to US National Security is White Male Veterans

They are a people that no matter what stick to their convictions and never waiver.

It's a good lesson for all of us. If you are strong enough in your heart and in your mind, you can never be defeated.

Fair point. I will say that I drank beer with a former SS man in Germany, in his home and he still held his beliefs.
But we were a different people then too. We had no reservations that total victory was the only route.

Even the Lefties don't have Biden's back on this.

It's hard to admit the Progress theory of nation building is a failure.

Well the alternative is bombing them to shit and just leaving them to see which warlord takes over.
I don't think it's the idea of nation building that's at fault it's the execution as ever.
Takes a long time and costs a lot of money. Just look at Germany or Japan.

Once we move away from oil none of this will be necessary and you can just leave the ME to destroy itself.

I don't think I will live to see it

but it's not inconceivable that this could happen someday here as well

that a movement of alpha males would take up arms against the Progressives

at which point I would expect the Progressives to immediately fold in the same way

and then it would be ugly, you can't control the ranks in a frenzy, payback is a bitch

This was never about nation building nor oil, it was about the poppies and heroin production.

Maybe I shouldn't be shocked and surprised, but I am at the total lack of communication by leadership over the weekend.

There have been different events over my life where shit went south for us, Beirut, Mogadishu, Benghazi, but we always got briefed in 24 hours and official statements. The Biden Admin is giving us nothing. No sign of Biden, or Lloyd Austin or Milley, and Psaki went on vacation when shit turned bad.

We have no leaders.

But on a brighter side, No Mean Tweets!

I think it was much simpler than that

the Towers fell live on tv

America was in shock, enraged

the Bush Administration felt like they had to hit back at something

they picked Afghanistan as the target for their firepower demonstration

then they were stuck with it

everything else was just coming up with false rubrics as to why it was important, when it wasn't

Pottery Barn Rule, Colin Powell called it

Perhaps. But the bulk of them came from/through Saudi Arabia. Iraq was a distraction. Pakistan was supposedly harboring Bin Laden.

Are you saying there was no strategic forethought into Afghanistan?
