Jesus, Michael, this essay is just about perfect.

The globalists cabal is angry about this, as a country in the ME that controls much of US policy and media, might be in 8% more danger today than it was last month. The pattern is always the same.

Not only that, but how can the "Afghani women" and men for that matter, possibly enter the modern world without sufficient excitement and compliance to the all important most pressing issue today that is the LBGTQAI+ agenda? They won't be wearing masks, getting experimental jabs, or flying the rainbow flag next June? That's just crazy and I'm triggered!!

Holy crap. Never seen a more perfectly roasted poodle.

This is such a bad take considering the USA invoked Article 5 (Doctrine of Collective Security) of NATO’s treaty three weeks after 9/11 which obligated the UK and other NATO allies on eight measures in support the United States, which were tantamount to a declaration of war on Afghanistan. These allies were entitled to better consultations in Biden’s abrupt execution of the withdrawal. Tracey completely omits this context in this “caveat emptor” rebuttal to UK objections

“abrupt execution of the withdrawal.” If you’re gonna put it in quotes, at least be accurate

It's time to abandon Heidelberg too. I think the East German border is safe now.

A mystery --- 170 dead Afghans and 13 US soldiers...

Just how a suicide bomber, in densely packed crowd, can kill 183 people?

Hey! I finally found a media outlet that maintains that getting out of Afghanistan is a good idea. But then they blame Trump for the withdrawal... It seems obvious to me that Biden (and lots of others) were lied to - that Biden really thought there were 30,000 loyal soldiers trained by Dyncorp and the rest.

Not a single world leader today gives a shit about democracy and they’d all happily kowtow to the Dragon Throne if China set them up with a nicely compensated consulting gig.

All of this, to me, seems to be by design hysteria. I doubt the US military is taking an "isolationist" posture. There is new modern tech, drones, to take the place of troops. Also, there will be private contractors being left behind.

The narrative being created will put fear in those looking at it from that perspective, but I'm sure the US military budget will still be excessive... We've got space to protect.
