Re: The Era of Biden
America has the power to obliterate these people if America wants to
but why would America want to ?
America is a Seapower, it's all about Freedom of Navigation
these are just a bunch of rednecks living in the mountains
they are no concern to America, it is not weakness for America to come to her senses and move on
that's a good thing, the only good thing this Administration has done
although Trump laid the groundwork, so really Biden is just following Trump here

Re: The Era of Biden
but my wife is rallied around me
she is not siding with the government against me
she honestly obeys me, not because I use force, because she wants to please me
so I have no cause to go to war
I'm not going to war about other guys wives, that's not my business

Re: The Era of Biden
this all could have been avoided quite simply
1. make a deal with the Taliban, there was a price which they would have found to be honourable
2. just have a small base there for DEVGRU to stand by for Bin Laden
3. let the Taliban guard the base, and otherwise just stay out of their business
problem solved, mission accomplished, without a quagmire

Re: The Era of Biden
the whole thing was a SOF mission
should have just limited it to JSOC, no conventional forces
no need for a big production, this war was all just MICC make work

Re: The Era of Biden
even if you go beyond JSOC
the only others I would deploy was SF
not to fight the Taliban, put the A-Teams with the Taliban as liaisons
soon as this became a moral crusade for Western Progressive values, that's when it went off the rails

Re: The Era of Biden
again tho, that was rubric to keep NATO in there
it's not like Cheney gave a shit about that, he said Afghanistan was a nothing burger
all you ever needed was a small FOB for DEVGRU
then some A-Teams in with the Taliban to keep things cool with them
and that's it
this only escalated into a quagmire, because America invoked Article V
once you made it a NATO mission, that is where the quagmire came from
all these NATO countries were just trying to curry favour with Washington
if Washington hadn't summoned them, it never would have happened
the lesson is, don't invoke NATO Article V for anything short of World War Three
