You think the average Afghani prefers a foreign/Christian presence, over the Taliban?
The average female Afghani? Certainly.

On August 13th the Pentagon went on record and said that Kabul is safe. They did not say Afghanistan is safe but instead said Kabul is safe just so we are clear.

The silver lining to this is it might lead to an awakening on what is actually going on and lead to a generation of the Left being thrown out of power and make people realize what the danger bowing to the Woke can do to destroy our country. The bad news is China is going to take over Taiwan, the South China Sea, Africa, and the Suez Canal before we can make a rebuttal in 2025.

I’m not judging them at all, their populace much prefers throwing homosexuals off of roof tops than transgender pronouns. I think that is not optimal, but they can make their own decisions.. and they have

They’re fortifying barges as we speak and have built a dock big enough to house 3 aircraft carriers at the entrance to the Red Sea. What do you think they plan on doing with those? Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this out.

This could go down like the Rape of Nanking, except it lasting for a month it lasts a year.

Pump the breaks, it’s not going to be on that level. Not to say things aren’t going to be really bad, but the big difference is that they’re only going to go after those that aided the US and the former government. In Nanking every person there was fair game to the Japanese

This is what happens when you elect social reformers to do an adults job.

I don't see any drama in what was said here and Vegas odds right now point to just what she said happening.

I would recommend you read up on the Chinese so you are up to speed on what's going on globally right now because you are several chapters behind the rest of us.

I'm happy to make a long term ban bet with you that China will not "take over Taiwan, the South China Sea, Africa, and the Suez Canal" before the end of 2024. I believe that, at the very least, we will respond by then to prevent at least one of those things. Deal?

The average Afghani citizen does not want the US there.

I tend to agree with you on that. We have emboldened china a hell of alot more than they have been in years, though.

Which one(s) of those do you believe will take place before 2024? I agree with you that they will not take all of Africa.

It’s not going to be as quickly as violent as that was, since that was the most world class massacre of the 20th century. Killed hundreds of thousands of people very brutally in a single month. No, they’re going take their time unlike the Japanese, which it’s just insane given the methods they used that they were able to kill so quickly. If some of the members of the Taliban know about the Contest to Kill 100 People Using a Sword, I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to recreate that massacre just for old times sake.

Seems to me the US is indeed buying fuel from the Taliban


Yea, the reporter asked if the US controlled the fuel to the Pentagon Spokesperson. They didn't respond or gave a half arse answer

Watch the news. Read some articles. It’s reported everywhere. If you’re still ignorant of the facts at this point it’s willful and I won’t invest my time in your education if you won’t.

I 100% agree. My issue is with all the melodramatic "worst thing in US history" and "China will take over the world in 3 years" bullshite.
