Breaking Points: How The Hell Did Joe Biden Actually Do Something Right?

Joe’s long experience in the Swamp came in handy for once.

Lindsey Graham: Impeach Joe Biden!

Are we sure that we want these people in charge of the Senate? Note: Nothing much is going on except for Republicans losing their minds over the end of the war in Afghanistan.

China Mocks America’s Withdrawal From Afghanistan

Where’s the lie? The GOP is incapable of conceiving of a future which doesn’t involve squandering an endless stream of money and lives on that rathole.

Tom Cotton: Repercussions From Afghanistan Withdrawal Will Reverberate For Many Years

Lets hope that Afghanistan proves to be the “graveyard of empires.” There are plenty of other countries around the world that we need to get out of as well before it is too late. There are plenty of other potential wars which ought to be avoided because the lesson of this one is also nothing […]

Ben Sasse Slams Afghanistan Withdrawal

I’ve spent the last eight months criticizing Joe Biden. What’s the alternative though? Do we want to engage in another round of pointless backlash politics and bring the GOP back to power? Would we be better off with Ben Sasse and the True Cons and MIGA running our foreign policy? Did Trump ever really intend […]

Poll: Americans Still Support Afghanistan Withdrawal

Joe Biden Dives In Polls

This was going to happen anyway. We’ve been saying it for months. It was happening before the withdrawal from Afghanistan. It also happened to Obama and Trump at this point in their presidencies. There are lots of issues that are dragging down Joe Biden – crime, inflation, illegal immigration, gas prices, censorship and especially COVID […]

The Atlantic: Liberal Democracy Is Worth a Fight

Joe Biden: America Has No National Interest In Afghanistan

YES. Exactly. It is their country, not our country. Who cares if the Afghans want sharia law instead of liberal democracy? Who cares if Afghanistan becomes an Islamic emirate? Who cares about women’s rights in Afghanistan?

National Review: Yes, Bring the Afghans Who Helped Us

Some things never change: We are burdened by a class of pudgy, sheltered, bespectacled, bow-tied fools who start wars in distant countries based on foolish expectations. The war plays out like anyone with a sense of the history and culture and Afghanistan could have predicted and who were shouted down when we plunged in during […]

Poll: Republicans Now Oppose Withdrawing From Afghanistan

49% of voters back the withdrawal of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, down 20 points since April. https://t.co/YwZFA493k3 *Poll conducted Aug 13-16, 2021 pic.twitter.com/9nDoRKGm16 — Morning Consult (@MorningConsult) August 17, 2021 I’m ridin’ with Biden pic.twitter.com/pwfUo1HMPV — Raiden (@SeekerRaiden) August 18, 2021 lmfao! pic.twitter.com/pDfDRGo7Xk — VGrillerManV (@V_GrillerMan_V) August 19, 2021 I can’t stop watching this. pic.twitter.com/o3tbjJqo25 […]

Breaking Points: The Real Tragedy Was The Corrupt Afghanistan War Itself

The War on Terror did not build lasting peaceful nations in the Middle East. It built Northern Virginia. Effectively, Afghanistan cost the GOP any chance of ever winning Virginia ever again. How’s that feel, neocons? pic.twitter.com/SSkTmakESu — Being Libertarian (@beinlibertarian) August 19, 2021 The only time I’ve seen the media try and portray Biden in […]

The Federalist: After Afghanistan, No More Moral Blackmail From Failed Global Interventionists

I don’t blame Joe Biden for the Afghanistan withdrawal. Donald Trump negotiated the peace deal with the Taliban. The Taliban upheld their end of the agreement and refused to fire on American forces in Afghanistan. The Afghan puppet government and its fake army ultimately refused to fight to preserve its own existence without American support. […]

Politico: “This Is Actually Happening”

This channel is now completely insufferable. Self-important UK conservatives pompously screaming that *withdrawal* from a war is the biggest foreign policy “disaster” ever. Worse than escalating and prolonging the failed war for 20 years. Worse than Iraq, Vietnam. Just a joke pic.twitter.com/kAPHn3rbgx — Michael Tracey (@mtracey) August 20, 2021 It has been a super busy […]

RT: Biden’s Afghanistan Withdrawal a Distraction From Increasing US Imperialism

I’ve been wondering the same thing. Are we withdrawing from Afghanistan to go in somewhere else?

General Milley: Military Intelligence Didn’t Predict Afghanistan’s Rapid Fall

I think he is probably telling the truth. Everyone knew that we had armed a fake military which was controlled by a fake puppet government and that it would collapse. They were genuinely surprised that it would only take two weeks to collapse. We squandered something like $100 billion dollars on the Afghan military to […]

Jimmy Dore: Ron Paul Predicted Afghanistan Debacle Ten Years Ago

Ron Paul was right about this. Pat Buchanan was also right about this.

The GOP Wants To Stay In Afghanistan Forever

Just as a dog returns to its own vomit, the Republican leadership wants to stay in Afghanistan forever and continue sucking up to the Pentagon. It is the same way with Corporate America too. The GOP leadership is incapable of conceiving of a policy agenda which isn’t sold to corporate donors.

Joe Biden Defends His Decision To Withdraw Troops From Afghanistan

Joe is right. There was nothing to gain from staying there. Aside from the refugees, who except the GOP (they also want to resettle refugees) could argue with any of this? Who wants to stay in Afghanistan for a third decade? Note: I told you the GOP would find a way to lose by sticking […]

Secular Talk Defends Joe Biden’s Withdrawal From Afghanistan

Who cares? We’re out of Afghanistan and that is all that matters. This is also one of the most peaceful sacks and conquests that I can remember. It is usually a lot worse than this. Note: Isn’t it interesting how some progressives sound like traditional conservatives on this issue and have learned something from history […]

Breaking Points: Afghanistan Collapse

Every media outlet in the country is crying about the end of the American occupation of Afghanistan. Note: The farce went on for 20 years. The so-called government of Afghanistan had no legitimacy and was propped up by the Pentagon. It was only going to end this way.
