Biden has sent a delegation to meet the Taliban to beg them not to attack our embassy. They are also offering future aid to any Afghan government, which includes the Taliban to guarantee a safe withdrawal of the embassy.

Sounds like a bribe to me.

Mass media will tell us that it's a win for Biden and that he made the Taliban back off on the Embassy by being tough with them.

Nobody pushes Joe Biden around. Not even the Taliban.

They are deploying 3500 combat troops from Bragg to Kuwait just in case we have to fight our way out.

Tucking tail and running.

But it’s being led by Captain Benjamin Willard. He’s also tasked with bringing Kurtz in from the desert. He seems to have gone native.

At this point, let's hope the stupid piece of shite gets off that easy. Because if it's worse, lotta bodies gonna be dead. What an inept incompetent piece of shite he is.

You are incredibly naive and oblivious to reality. Have you not been paying attention?

1. The history books and narratives will be that it was all Trump's fault.

2. Biden doesn't beg. He is a supremely arrogant a-hole that doesn't give a shite about anyone else. He will threaten to use the government against the Taliban if they don't do what he says. That's what he does.

If anything, with Biden, you're probably looking at more wars. Not less.

Biden has been one disaster after another. I think the reality is that he really is in charge and that is frightening

Drove by Bragg just a few hours ago; there was an unusually high amount of activity going on there.

There was about 10 Chinooks in the sky at the same time coming into the base. Maybe that's common, but I haven't seen that before and I drive past there just about every other Friday night.

I'm not up to date, but I imagine the alert brigade is already wheels up and half way there.

Right, but as much of a frickup the way we pulled out was, he might be the right man for this particular job. He is a hawk but if he just cares about American interests he MIGHT just tell the Taliban that he'll leave them alone so long as they leave our people alone for long enough to get out. We'll see if he can overcome Alzheimer's for long enough to stand up to all his dumbass advisors.

If they had withdrawn during the winter when the fighting season is over when the Taliban takes refuge in Pakistan and provided air support to the Afghan troops until then this debacle could have been prevented. When he announced the hard withdrawal date the Taliban knew when they started the summer offensive all they had to do was press hard and everything would crumble.

How many Taliban "troops" are closing on Kabul?

How do they land and supply 3500 troops when the Taliban mortars the runways?

I remember the day Saigon fell the NVA delayed their entry into the city a few hours to give us time to get the hell out.
