yeah I noticed Twitter was nearly absent of news since I went to bed.

I wonder if they're doing night time search and rescue missions around Kabul. If they wait for the Taliban reinforcements to reach Kabul, this thing will get exponentially worse

Oh man the union types around here are the dumbest people. You'll never be able to convince them otherwise. They'll always find a way to defend the Dems even if they have to make shite up at random

I see where you’ve improved from your 10k prediction yesterday.

What will it be tomorrow?


So, we shut down an entire country for an illness that kills an extremely low % of individuals who catch it. Meanwhile we did far more damage to our nation because of it. And that to you should be celebrated, because "if it just saves one life."

But now we should also celebrate that this administration left thousands stranded, and only a few of them might die. Why does there seem to be no priority in saving those lives?


But why should any of us be surprised? It's "my body, my choice" when it comes to killing unborn children. But when it comes to the vaccine, it should be forced upon everyone. No "my body my choice there."


The amount of hypocrisy that comes from people like you is really sickening.

The ONLY thing that matters is advancing their agenda. They don't give a frick about how many die or how many lives are ruined as long as the agenda moves forward.

I'm kind of amazed they haven't popped shite off yet over there. If youre gonna do it, it doesn't get any better than this for China.

It scares the hell out of me to think of things starting to go hot with such an incompetent leadership in Washington. They're already doing dumb shite. Faced with deteriorating conditions they might do ultra dumb shite.

The Democratic Party (and their water carriers in the media) are a Death Cult. They celebrate abortions and decry when a woman chooses to keep the child. During the Bush Administration, they had a daily orgasm telling America how many servicemen dies that day overseas. Strangely, as soon as BHO got elected those reports stopped. America's cities look like Omaha Beach and Democrats revel in the carnage knowing they can manipulate those voters by convincing them the Party is the only hope for salvation. Now, they inflate or outright fabricate statistics associated with the Chinese Flu (500K+ ) to justify shredding what's left of the Constitution and forcing people to get an experimental and fairly ineffective shot. Nevermind all the people who died or suffered from other maladies who were denied access to medical care because of the Big Brother lockdowns. A small price to pay for power.
They are a Death Cult.

Why do you think the Army can't put boots on the ground on any landmass in the world? They sure as frick don't need a bunch of sailors to get them there.


Antiaircraft will be stacked. You ain’t dropping them in. Choppers won’t work either. Ain’t no airports. How else are you going to get to troops to numerous small islands in the sea lanes?

In order to have a functioning first world army you need and army, a navy, and an air force.

In a perfect world all 3 would work together seamlessly so we wouldn’t need the redundancy we have with the navy overlapping the army (marines), the army overlapping the air force (helicopters and close ground support craft), or the navy overlapping the air force (naval aviators). However, we don’t live in a perfect world and our military is still pretty damn good at killing our enemies at a much higher rate than they can kill us.

I just wish we didn’t have so much damn redundancy and wasted spending

Oh good. I’m sorry she had to cut her vacation short with the biggest fiasco since Vietnam.

Completely agree. Just think we ought to focus on the specific threat from China to south Asian sea lanes.

Gotta compete for prestige and those govt tax dollars baw. Army, navy, and Marines have been since...ever. Air Force is relatively "new" but has been the Belle of the ball since carriers decided major battles. They want that money and glory too.
