I see that gun safety is not their number 1 priority.

Russia and china have all but openly and publicly aligned themselves with the Taliban (which is still classified as a terrorist organization in Russia). We are, or appear to be, weaker internationally than we have been in 50+ years. Our President went AWOL for 3 days and just gave a meaningless 20 minute speech before going back under cover.

This keeps getting worse and worse.

Which side will the Oath Keepers fight on when the Taliban arrives here? Which side will they identify with?

From the Reuters article I posted:

quote:

Russia's embassy in Britain has said Washington's Afghan exit shows its geopolitical star is on the wane.

"The objective reality is that Washington’s comfortable position of U.S. hegemony is receding into the past against the backdrop of the strengthening political positions of Russia and China,” the embassy said on Twitter on Sunday.

Also from that article:

quote:

Zamir Kabulov, President Vladimir Putin's special representative on Afghanistan, said on Monday that Moscow's long campaign to build ties with the Taliban appeared now to be paying off.

"It's not for nothing that we've been establishing contacts with the Taliban movement for the last seven years," Kabulov told Ekho Moskvy.



quote:

"We saw that this force would in the end if not completely come to power would play a leading role in the future of Afghanistan in any case."

He probably has a lot of friends there that he doesn't want to see die.

Russia said this:
quote:

"We saw that this force would in the end if not completely come to power would play a leading role in the future of Afghanistan in any case."


While Biden and his handlers were thinking this:

Taliban rule was not a foregone conclusion.



china was also saying that they'd recognize the Taliban as the rightful ruling power of Afghanistan days ago.

Those international correspondents are legit. I'd trust Engels word over anybody who actually works in the diplomatic corps.
