The world watched last weekend as the Taliban pushed their way through Afghanistan, capturing major cities and military installations along the way including the capital of Kabul. While we watched these events unfold, most of us wondered when we would hear from the White House as to what was being done to stop the Taliban from advancing and taking over the country. Some of us wondered why our withdrawal was done so hastily, including our strongest ally, Britain. According to reports, Prime Minister Johnson reached out to the Biden administration on Monday morning seeking answers as to how this giant debacle happened and why Britain and other allies weren’t brought into the discussion of how this withdrawal should have actually taken place. The White House did not get back to the Prime Minister until late Tuesday afternoon and had no real answers for Johnson, just as they have had for the American people as well.
With the Taliban moving fast and the US rapidly pulling troops out, the Afghan Army scattered and ran for the hills, with over 700 fleeing to Uzbekistan with 46 military aircraft. Some have called this a strategic move on their part but there are others who would say they were cowards and should’ve used that US military grade aircraft and take it to the Taliban. But they didn’t and this administration is using that to push blame on the Afghanis and not own up to their horrible miscalculation.
That’s right folks. This administration is blaming the interpreters and other civilians that aided the US coalition forces over there through the 2 decades we occupied that country and saying that some wanted to stay in hopes that the Afghani government would be stronger than it was. What Biden was saying in his speech in which he made this wild claim is that it’s the Afghan Army’s fault for the collapse of Afghanistan, not his. They are the ones that ran away from fighting for their country and freedom and fled to the mountains. We told everyone we were leaving, come on man.
Not only was the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan a complete embarrassment to this country, but it was also the signal every world leader looking to take down the US that this president is weak and not at all prepared for the job at hand. China is already looking to help the Taliban and show their support for the religious extremists. Iran and N.Korea are going to see this and continue to build towards an inevitable attack on the US, which brings a whole new set of problems to the world stage.
To add insult to injury, the Biden administration in also charging these Afghani’s with Special Immigrant Visa’s (SIV) up to $2000 per person for a seat on a plane out of Afghanistan. The absurdity of this is beyond comprehension as it has been reported that the average median household income in Afghanistan is $4100 a year. By those numbers, a single Afghani woman who was an aid to the US in some capacity would have to come up with half a years’ pay to get a seat. Come on, what single American has half their yearly salary saved up for a rainy day? And speaking of Americans, this administration not only has the gall to charge these poor Afghanis to leave but they are doing it to Americans as well. It’s bad enough that Pinocchi-Joe caused this mess, but now they are trying to make money off of the situation and aren’t even trying to hide it. Just imagine for a minute if this had happened in 2019. We would be hearing the screams of impeachment from every Democrat, Liberal and mainstream media political pundit on this PLANET!
If we look back in history, every president since Carter has had a blunder that they couldn’t come back from. Carter had the Iran hostage crisis, GHW Bush had the “No New Taxes” lie, Clinton had his extra marital affairs, GW Bush had the Katrina disaster, Obama had Benghazi and Trump mishandled the pandemic. All of those decisions could be construed as the major turning point in each of their presidencies and this Afghanistan debacle could very well be Biden’s. The major difference in those past presidencies and this current one is.... We are only 7 months into this one, scary isn’t it.
For those who decided to choose incompetence over mean tweets and funny hair, this disaster lies with you as well. The world will never know just how the Trump administration would’ve handled the withdrawal, but we all know how he would’ve handled the Taliban. There was a reason they waited until now to do this. The Trump peace agreement between the Taliban and the Afghan government stipulated that we be out by May 2021 but the Biden administration pushed that back, giving the Taliban time to recoup forces and strengthen numbers before attacking.
And as a result of all of these bad decisions, we now have Margerie Taylor Greene filing articles of impeachment against Pinocchi-Joe. But while the Democrats control the House and Senate, those articles probably won’t go anywhere. The Democrats would rather use the 25th amendment to remove Joe due to “illness” or something of that nature to try and preserve his presidency. Only time will tell if they will succeed but if they do, Harris would take over and the Democrats get their first ever woman president. Maybe this was the plan from the beginning and that’s why the unlikely pairing of Biden/Harris was made.
In conclusion, it’s hard to believe that this administration didn’t know that this disaster was possible and likely given the way this operation has been conducted and if that’s the case, then Pinocchi-Joe should be impeached for his gross negligence in the handling of this withdrawal. Will that happen? Unlikely. What does that mean for the country going forward? Maybe the mishandling of Afghanistan by this administration will be something both sides can come together and agree on. One can hope.
At least one sportsbook believes there is a good chance that Jimmy Garoppolo is NOT the starter for the Las Vegas Raiders at the start of the season and that it will in fact be the 🐐
