Bloodlust and lack of a command structure. The NVA at least was a professional army that could coordinate itself to not take Saigon until we left. I'm not sure the Taliban grunts on the ground in Kabul are thinking about the bigger picture.
Seems kinda weird to still be Underestimating them

Finally caught up from last night.
Taiwan and possibly Ukraine and the Balkans are fricked is the message being sent loud and clear. I would be scared shitless for my family if I were in either region.
SK and Japan should be nervous from a longer time horizon. We’ve just fricked the over.

With fewer restrictions, the US can easily take them out. But the civilian casualty rate would be high.

This is what they’re going to use to get rid of Biden and insert kamala.

I have a buddy who lives in Ukraine with his wife and young son, he and I talk every day and have done so a good bit today and he hasn't mentioned anything. We've just been shooting the shite about sports.

Call him tonight. I’m sure he’ll tell you something now. The people in Ukraine have to be panicking, but Taiwan is completely fricked at this point.

Fox News just reported Breaking News from a "credible source" in the Pentagon that the Taliban is going door to door looking for folks who helped Americans.
People who think about collaborating with the US in the future should think twice.
We break our promises, destroy countries, and we'll leave you to die when we're done.

He's former military and now I guess does contract where work he mans a team who flies the unmanned drones around, so he'd obviously be in the know. Maybe he's just really used to it, and this shite doesn't even phase him so it's just another day in the Ukraine, could be that too I guess.

I imagine US intelligence assets across the globe are panicking right now. No one will trust is for a long time.

The Governor of the Central Bank of Afghanistan speaks out
Really good exchange with Ata Noor if you want to see what actually took place from their point of view. Pakistan & China orchestrated everything.

It also reaches far beyond today. We are setting china up nicely in that region.
what are China’s interest in the area? Just a further power grab?
Influence in the Middle East. All the super powers did it so why not them.

No the United States is completely fricked if China takes Taiwan because we will have ZERO Semiconductors and China will have 90% of the global semiconductor market. We will be totally dependent on China--effectively crippled domestically and internationally.
