Unfortunately, the war they’re waging is against us.
On Sunday, Joe Biden faced the nation...and lied, claiming that, unlike his own experience or that of his predecessors, no future president will have to deal with Americans dying in Afghanistan. This was a lie because Biden himself hasn’t seen any war deaths in Afghanistan. There have been no American combat causalities in Afghanistan for 18 months, thanks to Bagram Air Base.
It wasn’t just Bagram making a difference. With assists from Bagram, the Afghans had also been holding their own. This reflected a primary Military Doctrine going back to WWII: If you own the skies, you own the battlespace on land and sea because nothing can move without the threat of annihilation. Lose air control and you may swiftly lose the war, which is what happened with the Taliban when Bagram closed.
Before Joe’s abrupt pullout, the Afghanistan theater of war was being handled by a small cadre of only 2,500 American airmen and officers who were able to subdue and restrict the movement of the Taliban and Al Qaeda. Terrorists knew that, if they showed themselves, they would be annihilated. Terror from the skies kept them in check.
There is no modern military precedent for what Command-in-Chief Joe Biden did: He bugged out of Bagram in the middle of the night without notifying the Afghans in advance, conducting a decommissioning or turnover ceremony to the Afghans, or properly destroying weapons and other military equipment. The Taliban has since taken control of all the abandoned weapons and equipment, including planes.
Although we’re told leaving Bagram was a considered decision, it looked remarkably like a rout. After all, under normal military rules, Bagram should have been the last base to close.

I wonder if our allies miss Trump yet?
Screw em. Better to be respected than liked.
No one could be this incompetent. They are intentionally fking things up in a grand way, seemingly saying, “now what are you going to do about it?”
Peace and stability in Afghanistan was being maintained at very little cost to the US.

You can always tell when Biden is lying...his lips are moving. 🤮

Really? So, tell me how we are respected now?
Bump
This a$$hole and his woke generals need to resign before they get us all killed!
The war is against us. I have been saying for a long time that the plan is to eliminate us (Whites, Christians).
I believe he was talking about Trump.
They we’re holding their own because the Taliban were largely standing down.
The Taliban knew from the negotiations that it was just a matter of time until they took over so why waste men and resources fighting?
I sure hope so - because right now the American reputation is in the toilet.
I agree that it seems to be blatantly provocative !
Much the same as AntiFa and State Secuity (FBI)infiltration
and being present at the January 6th demonstration.
Yes, that's true. I didn't know until this article that there were no American military deaths in Afghanistan for 18 months.
I've said for years though that we should "declare victory" and make an ORDERLY withdrawal.
