The Era of Biden

[StCapps]

How is it “folded”? You mean because the Incels get wives now?

Because we are begging the Taliban to let us get our contractors to the Kabul airport.

That is about as folded as it gets.

better that the Taliban run the place than America staying forever trying to force the square Woke peg into the round Afghanistan hole

[Martin Hash]

Just spitballin’ here but I think I know how to solve our Wokeness problem…

[Hanarchy Montanarchy]

“Contractors”? What the fuck are contractors? Are they the ones teaching Wokeness to the girls?

Like them or don't like them, we are still begging the Taliban to let them leave. That counts as folded in my book.

Just think of how cool it would have been if Trump was still president?

What? This would have happened in May instead of August?

[Smitty-48]

Pfft. Bunch of boomer college kids that deserved to get their hippie heads stoved in by the constabulary.

not me, I was there, standing in the Fulda Gap, wearing my nuke suit

and I wake up every morning of not-nuclear-winter and thank God and Smitty LeMay for the privilege.

it was my privilege, my honour, my pride, to be at the tip of the spear on the Trace

defend the free world, by blocking the path of escalation towards DEFCON 1

wishful thinking is a helluva drug

if you want to withdraw from Afghanistan

than the Taliban filling the void is baked into that cake

with or without Trump

there was no withdraw and the Taliban never take over option

but the withdraw and let the Taliban take over option

is a much better option

than the staying forever option

Why do you think I have a problem with the Taliban? Trump’s plan left a “force multiplier.”

Losing wars just to stick it to the Woke is, frankly, stupid as hell. Especially since the Woke have been fuckin' bellyaching about us being in Afghanistan just as much as the MAGA crowd's been bellyaching about it.

[Montegriffo]

I give Monty permission to debate Hanny.

I tend to agree with Hannarchy.
You've got 700 bases around the world. How much money are you expecting to get back from the MIC by pulling out of one airbase in Afghanistan?
You've still got 40k troops in Germany and 70k in Korea. 5-10k left in Afghanistan isn't going to break the bank.

no need for a force multiplier

just let the Taliban take over
