Hell no. Let’s Tallywackers go at it within their borders.
If Biden goes in now, he’ll find things VERY DIFFERENT there, obviously due to our hardware being used against us, but also a lot of new faces, faces from China and elsewhere.
Grab a rifle, Leon, lead the way.
Erik Prince had an interesting plan. Drop a couple of million dollars 2 kilometers from the Baghram air base and it will be empty within a few minutes and then take it over. Could be fake money, photocopies.
Then secure the 40 minute path between the base and Kabul and start moving people out.
What's another 20 years of war if you don't have to fight it?
Sure, Leon - when you’re the first man in the first stick going out the door, with all the complicit generals that have been busted to private for going along with this idiocy for so long.
Yeah, BrainDead Joe will decide to invade the Sudan to get back at the Tallyband for not keeping their promises to an idiot!!! We are now the laughing stock of the planet. This mess has only emboldened our enemies. The Russians, Red Chinese, North Korea, Iran, all terrorists groups, are all chomping at the bit to hit something American. Sink a few Navy ships, blow up an air force base, hit a major Army or Marine base, blow up a US Post Office, bomb a Walmart or MiniMart down the street. Yup, they will start their programs to hit us because they know the Idiot In Chief doesn’t have one idea of what to do. He only wants to play with his Tonka Toys in his sand box and go swimming in his plastic pool in the back yard. Yup. Laughing stocks.
Everybody in the country sees this except Joe Biden!
Deep state operative selling perpetual wars, great. /s
No we don’t. He and his family can go, though, if they want.
No! Bomb the ever-living hell out of them and keep doing it for weeks. This will end any of their plans quickly.
Send in the troops again and the taliban may decide this time to make a fight of it supposing us to be toothless and stupid.
Unfortunately, he may be correct. I would not expect there to be many conventional forces, but more in the way of unconventional forces and air to kill terrorists in leadership positions.
Of course, that presupposes we have visibility into what is going on in Afghanistan prior. And that capability is pretty limited.
Oh geeez ,not him again. I thought he was gone for good.
Send Panetta, Liz Cheney, Lindsay Graham, and Mitt in the first wave of flights to this hot spot. /sarc
Every war ends with more refugees (many of whom hate whites and/or Christians).
I remember Pat Buchanan writing against the proposed Iraq War in 2002. Buchanan said, "I sure hope Iraqi cuisine is tasty, because we'll have a whole lot of refugees opening Iraqi restaurants in D.C. when this is over."
If we do, it will be because of (1) the deceptive way we undercut the Afghan military (closing all missions at Bagram), insuring the quick assent of the Taliban, and (2) all Islamists will flock to Afghanistan knowing how weak Biden has made us.
As much as everyone kept complaining about our missions in Afghanistan, there had not been a single American death in the past 18 months, and the Kabul airport bombing made that day the worst since 2011. And yet all we kept hearing was our lives were still carrying the burden in Afghanistan when in fact it was Afghan lives - 70,000.
Bagram should have become a NATO base, and the Taliban told we will turn Bagram over to the Afghan government when you, the Taliban, quit your war with them.
With Bagram up and running, the Afghan government would not have had the losses it did since Bagram was closed, and the NATO footprint at Bagram would still have been only about 2,500.
Has our “withdrawal” “ended” the war in Afghanistan? No. And it won’t, as long as the Taliban remain armed and determined to use force of arms to get their way. The most likely outcome is the muti-party civil war period during the last time the Taliban thought they were in power.
The man is crazy.
We need only to arm every faction.
I hate always being right. Of course they have planned to go back in. 😣
Has Leon saved the oceans yet? Lenin (and Ted Danson) wants to know.
One of the most pathetic officials to emerge from the manure ponds of California’s leftist enclaves and a Clintonoid.
The Senate approved him 98-0 for the DoD secretary slot and has never looked back since.
Now 83 , his family will have his institute to carry on his ‘work’ after over 50 years in “public service”. (and you wonder why California is so messed up)
