Two military veterans’ surprise trip to Afghanistan just exposed this big Joe Biden lie Joe Biden continues to mislead the American people about the debacle in Afghanistan. Now there is more bad news on the way. And two military veterans’ surprise trip to Afghanistan just exposed this big Joe Biden lie. Massachusetts Democrat Congressman Seth Moulton and Michigan Republican Congressman Peter Meijer – who voted to impeach Donald Trump – took a surprise trip to the Kabul Airport to judge the truthfulness of the Biden administration’s claims about running an historic airlift that will achieve America’s goals by the time all U.S. troops leave Afghanistan on ...
The U.S. Has A Plan For What's Next in Afghanistan - It Does Not Include Peace

Secretary Antony Blinken @SecBlinken – 1:34 UTC · Aug 31, 2021I want to drive home today that America’s work in Afghanistan continues. We have a plan for what’s next, and we’re putting it into action. The codename for the plan which Secretary Blinken is putting into action has not been officially released. It will likely be called “Eternal Revenge” or something similar. The U.S. is not a good loser. Nor are President Biden and Blinken. They will take revenge for the public outcry their chaotic evacuation of troops and civilians from Afghanistan has caused. The Taliban will be blamed for it even as they, following U.S. requests, had escorted groups of ...

A US soldier assigned to the Headquarters Battalion, 1st Armored Division, watched as a UH-60 Blackhawk Helicopter prepared to land during an advise and assist mission in southeastern Afghanistan on August 4, 2019. Alejandro Licea/US Army/Reuters The US's incomprehension of Afghanistan's culture led to its failures there, an ex-interpreter said. Frontline troops weren't given training in cultural literacy, which had major consequences, he said. Experts and a Congress-created watchdog have made similar points. An Afghan American who served as an interpreter for the US during the war in Afghanistan said in a Washington Post op-ed that America's lack of knowledge about ...

This is just some Jews in the federal security services accusing /pol/ and Hoax Watch of being terrorists for joking around about their massive Anus War failure. No biggie. CNN: As the United States-backed government in Afghanistan fell to the Taliban and US troops raced to leave the country, White supremacist and anti-government extremists have expressed admiration for what the Taliban accomplished, a worrying development for US officials who have been grappling with the threat of domestic violent extremism. That praise has also been coupled with a wave of anti-refugee sentiment from far-right groups, as the US and others rushed to evacuate tens of thousands of people from ...

Biden leaves behind Afghan interpreter who rescued him from snowy Afghanistan valley in 2008 By Grant Atkinson, The Western Journal Published August 31, 2021 at 8:48pm Throughout his long political career, President Joe Biden has interacted with countless people both at home and abroad. It would be impossible to remember each and every one of them, especially given his declining cognitive abilities. However, you would think that a man who rescued him from a snowy valley 13 years ago might stick in his mind. If Biden does remember, his actions certainly don't show it. According to The Wall Street Journal, an Afghan interpreter named Mohammed assisted in the rescue of then-Sens. Joe ...

It’s just really amazing that after fighting a war for 20 years, the US military was incapable of planning an exit wherein everyone came out of the country. RT: The last three US military transport planes have departed the Hamid Karzai Airport just ahead of the August 31 deadline, officially ending the American withdrawal from Afghanistan, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) has confirmed. The last C-17 Globemaster transport lifted off from Kabul at 3:29pm East Coast time, General Kenneth McKenzie, head of the CENTCOM officially announced on Monday, calling it “the completion of our withdrawal from Afghanistan.” With the last US military flight departed, McKenzie said ...

Biden Breaks His Word – Hundreds of Americans Left Behind On Monday, while liberals and White House loyalists tried to portray the Afghan pullout as a triumph, social media critics slammed the president for abandoning his promise to stay in the nation until each American was out. Although hundreds of Westerners are likely still left there, Marine Corps Gen. Kenneth McKenzie Jr. declared Monday that the last of US soldiers stationed at the Kabul airfield departed a day before Biden’s deadline, ending the military’s withdrawal in the nation. Broken Promises Critics quickly resurfaced President Biden’s earlier in the month conversation with ABC News’ George ...
The Completion Of The Afghanistan Withdrawal Is Nothing To Celebrate

The US has officially announced the completion of its military withdrawal from Afghanistan, minus of course the CIA ops which will continue in that country and the bombs that will likely continue to rain down in the name of fighting terrorism. There are a lot of warmongers rending their garments over the termination of a decades-long military occupation which accomplished nothing besides making war profiteers wealthy and killing hundreds of thousands of people. Almost as ridiculous are the countless pundits and politicians hailing this as some kind of major accomplishment that Americans should be proud of. Pride, praise and celebration are not the appropriate emotional response to the ...

We looked the other way when our allies in Afghanistan molested boys. Pay attention as the sexual revolution seeks to enlist your children here in America. America’s 20-year misadventure in Afghanistan failed to root out bacha bazi, the Afghan custom of men molesting boys. Indeed, the practice, banned and severely punished by the Taliban, flourished during the NATO occupation, with much of the abuse meted out by U.S.-backed security forces. Our troops occasionally lashed out against those they caught molesting so-called dancing boys. But the brass insisted it was beyond America’s remit to change the Afghans’ despicable ways. Perhaps the higher-ups figured that since ...

Here’s some good news about Afghanistan. If you drew up a “Toxic Top Ten” of the worst possible places to receive migrants from, Afghanistan wouldn’t be #1. I think that honour would go to Somalia. Now some bad news about Afghanistan. It could be well #2 or #3 in the Toxic Ten. It’s #2 for rape convictions in Denmark, but Denmark doesn’t have the honour of having been enriched by importing large numbers of Pakistanis. The Western politicians, journalists and charities now enabling the “evacuation” of Afghans into the West should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity. Click for Full Text!
Blowback: Taliban Target US Intel's Shadow Army

The Kabul Airport bombing shows there are shadowy forces in Afghanistan, willing to disrupt a peaceful transition after US troops leave. But what about US intel’s own ‘shadow army,’ amassed over two decades of occupation? Who are they, and what is their agenda? So we have the CIA Director William Burns deploying in haste to Kabul to solicit an audience with Taliban leader Abdul Ghani Baradar, the new potential ruler of a former satrapy. And he literally begs him to extend a deadline on the evacuation of US assets. The answer is a resounding “no.” After all, the 31 August deadline was established by Washington itself. Extending it would only mean the extension of ...

Why the loss of Afghanistan ultimately ends the Empire BY AKRAINER SUNDAY, AUG 29, 2021 - 7:08 Former Fed Chairman Arthur Burns said that, “A subtle understanding of economic change comes from a knowledge of history and large affairs, not from statistics or their processing alone.” So far as large affairs go, the recent events in Afghanistan could hardly be any larger. On Sunday, 15 August Taliban fighters entered Kabul unopposed and Afghanistan’s president Ashraf Ghani fled the country. Two days later the acting Afghan central bank chief, Ajmal Ahmady did the same. The events took almost everyone by surprise and the foreign policy establishments in the U.S. and UK were ...

The U.S. government appears to have a closer relationship with the Taliban than with its Afghan and NATO allies. The military withdrew from Bagram Airfield in the dead of night “without notifying the base’s new Afghan commander who discovered the Americans’ departure more than two hours after they left.” The allies were not consulted when the US withdrew from forward military bases or withdrew from Bagram Airfield. Apparently NATO allies were not informed about the closure of the U.S. embassy. This was only revealed when "German diplomats on their way to work noticed the US had withdrawn the forces to their own embassy." The Asia Times reported that ...

Disillusioned US drone pilots leak footage of air strikes against unarmed Afghans, media says American drone pilots have leaked video of “punitive” and “nihilistic” strikes in Afghanistan in 2019 that led to the killing of civilians, including at least one child, as the US looked for an exit strategy in the two-decade war. The footage, published on Tuesday as part of an investigation by military news outlet Connecting Vets, reportedly reveals how successive US administrations and defense strategists relaxed the rules of engagement in Afghanistan – as part of a policy to pressure the Taliban to the negotiating table. However, drone operators interviewed by the ...

Firing a marine for saying that the senior leaders at the State Department and Pentagon should take responsibility for evacuating the country before evacuating the people in the country is alpha. “Oh, you think we didn’t plan this well?

RT: A lieutenant colonel in the US Marine Corps said he was relieved of duty after voicing frustration with American leaders for the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, insisting officials take responsibility for their failures.

Who Profits from the Kabul Suicide Bombing?

The horrific Kabul suicide bombing introduces an extra vector in an already incandescent situation: It aims to prove, to Afghans and to the outside world, that the nascent Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is incapable of securing the capital. As it stands, at least 103 people – 90 Afghans (including at least 28 Taliban) and 13 American servicemen – were killed and at least 1,300 injured, according to the Afghan Health Ministry. Responsibility for the bombing came via a statement on the Telegram channel of Amaq Media, the official Islamic State (ISIS) news agency. This means it came from centralized ISIS command, even as the perpetrators were members of ISIS-Khorasan, or ISIS-K. ...

Say what you will about President Joe Biden, he has stuck to his guns on ending America’s 20-year involvement in Afghanistan’s forever war. His decision not to delay our departure after Aug. 31 was fortified by hard intel that the terrorist ISIS-K was preparing attacks at Kabul airport. Thursday evening, the two bomb attacks occurred. It now seems inevitable that the withdrawal will be completed by Aug. 31, with all U.S. military forces following the last civilians out. Before yesterday’s attacks, the airlift had been going far better than in its chaotic first days. Some 100,000 Americans and Afghans had gotten out of the country since Aug. 14. Biden held his ground, ...

'Forever War' Benefiting Afghans? Follow the Money

After 20 years and a staggering US$2.23 trillion spent in a “forever war” persistently spun as promoting democracy and benefiting the “Afghan people,” it’s legitimate to ask what the Empire of Chaos has to show for it. The numbers are dire. Afghanistan remains the world’s 7th poorest nation: 47% of the population lives below the poverty line, according to the Asian Development Bank. No less than 75% of the – dissolved – Kabul government’s budget was coming from international aid. According to the World Bank, that aid was responsible for the turnover of 43% of the economy – one that was mired in massive government corruption. According to ...

The US forces stationed at Kabul’s international airport have reportedly been extorting money from Afghan nationals trying to flee the chaos in their homeland, following the collapse of Afghanistan’s military and the Taliban’s takeover of the country. Iran’s Nour News reported Tuesday that US Marines — who control sections of the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul to oversee evacuation of Americans — were demanding anything between $500 and $2000 from desperate Afghan nationals in exchange for helping them leave in special US planes. Citing Afghans who have left the country, the report said the US forces at the Kabul airport turned away those who ...

How about some accountability for Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Yemen?

The Cynical Campaign To Scapegoat Joe Biden for the Afghanistan Debacle

The chaotic end to the U.S. mission in Afghanistan has produced an abundance of recriminations. Some of them are warranted, even though the dominant motive in nearly all cases is little more than crude blame shifting. Joe Biden and his foreign policy team certainly can be faulted for spectacularly mismanaging the final stage of the US troop withdrawal. The president’s comments on July 8 emphatically disputing predictions that the Taliban would quickly overrun Afghanistan did not enhance his reputation for accurate insights. It is hardly a good sight to see US helicopters conducting evacuation flights of diplomats from the American embassy in Kabul – an image all-too-reminiscent ...
