re: This Lloyd Austin story is just going to die, isn't it?

Here's what I see as the disturbing parts...

1. Biden doesn't get informed because he isn't running the show.

The White House is departmentalized, with multiple people in charge of certain sections, running their own Fiefdoms, all trying to get ahead. The backstabbing and end arounds have to be relentless. No one bothered to tell Biden, lots of "Not My Job" kind of shite.

2. Lloyd Austin is a DEI hire. He is in hospital ICU and no one seems to be worried or informs anyone. The Pentagon is running multiple chains of command with no one actually in charge and no coordination. Lots of "Not in My Purview."

The Chinese see this and know it's checkmate for Tawain.


The finger pointing will be worse than it was during the Afghanistan withdrawal.
