Libya fell because of the potential gold dinar.

Besides the humanitarian crisis / geopolitical terrorist hot bed now available this is probably the 3rd worse part about this whole withdrawal ?

What did we leave that we didn't give to them? All the helicopters, jets, guns, etc. were FOR the Afghans. Regarding Biden's presser, that's pretty standard stuff I think.

I 100% agree with you and I think they will.

This has nothing to do with what I posted.

Who cares about US soldiers getting blown up at the Kabul airport after catastrophic strategic mistakes created an untenable situation when you can instead virtue signal about how diverse and woke your troop is.




Reminds me of that one time our German soldiers were complaining that our army's standard gun had a huge technical issue and was unable to shoot straight while our Secretary of Defense was busy doing talk shows where she praised how inclusive our troop had become, bringing up the maternity uniforms for pregnant female soldiers that she had ordered as an example. (I kid you not.)

and not just about #blackityblack or #poundmetoo
it was literally posting about hairstyles
"Look at how much more lethal we are now that we allow black women to have cornrows!"

that's the messaging out of the pentagon in the middle of an ongoing military crisis while our troops are dying en masse.

the sheer amount of regalia on modern US military leaders uniforms is puzzling

Miley and Grinston look like cartoon characters from a banana military-led republic who engage in conflicts against krispy kreme bakers dozen boxes.

here are General Pershing and General Eisenhower during WWI and WWII, during actual wartime when they were deployed to lead the armies





clearly the military leadership is more interested in skin pigmentation and “white rage” rather than strategy or evading enemy attacks. it is very unfortunate

Milley is an incompetent careerist who opportunistically goes with the flow. He was sucking up to Trump for years, until Trump appointed him (instead of the Air Force general) to be the new chairman of the JCS, against the advice of Sec. Def. Mattis and the sitting CJCS Dunford. He stonewalled Congress for years on various investigations and even stood alongside Trump during the infamous photo op at St. John's Church in the wake of the Floyd protests. Once he had gotten the promotion that he wanted and saw the political fortunes change, he positioned himself increasingly against Trump and eventually went fully woke.

It should also be noted that Milley was one of the chief architects of Trump's peace negotiations with the Taliban and the withdrawal plan that came out of the talks, only to reverse course when a new administration came in, advising Biden to stop the withdrawal plan that he himself had helped set up.
