Ten percent for the Big Guy!!

Genital Milley-Vanilli is a CCP asset.

I was the first to call it. The state department sold it to the Chinese. Six weeks ago.

Afghanistan is Biden's gift to China for playing their part in getting him (illegally) elected.

My only question is what is Biden going to give to Fox for them doing their part in getting him (illegally) elected?

We need to bunker bust all of that infrastructure.

Egg-zackly!

Landlocked country and Bagram was the only piece of real estate we totally controlled and could defend (other than the embassy compound) with a large runway, the only safe way in or out. The people in charge are nothing but bloody idiots.

“The Chicoms and the Taliban deserve each other.”

When you lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas.

And the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (that supports the Uyghurs) will keep things hot for both of them.

[SaveFerris]

This should end well

[glorgau]

Biden is owned completely by the Chi Comms.

If Sleepy Joe doesn’t follow orders everyone will be seeing Hunter’s laptop, that’s for sure.

Worlds largest lithium deposits located there.

Yeah but this is Afghanistan we are talking about. The Taliban whipped the Soviets and the Americans. Two Superpowers of their day. Now the Chinese think they can take on the Taliban. They deserve it if they manage to hold on to it.

That proves that Lindsey Graham is no better at foreign affairs than Biden.

To send troops back now would bring about a toe to toe battle with China.

Chance missed. New plan required.

China has a history of treating Muslims nicely. /s

[rbmillerjr]

I’d like to hear about the battles where the Talis whipped the Americans.

First Ive heard of this. ...Unless we are just talking about weak US politicians.

[rbmillerjr]

The Chinese will likely meet up with ETIM East Turkmenistan Islamic Movement. They seem to have issues with CCP handling of Uyghurs. This is a faction that the Tali Central will not control.

[M-cubed]

Too bad their decisions didn't have autocorrect; we'd still have the base.<<

Yup and we wouldn't need over the horizon capabilities...we could target willy Milley the 1st time he stepped on the base and blame it on the tally-band...

[Chode]

100%

We're not talking conventional warfare. They wore us down with IEDs, RPGs and AK-47s. Guerilla warfare. The American people do not support sending our troops thousands of miles away from home too support a corrupt government in a country that for does not want us.
