Breaking Points: GOP Beclowns Itself With Afghan Criticism Showing ‘America First’ Was Always Fake

There were a lot of people who thought that we were overreacting to the Syria strike in early 2017. We weren’t overreacting. We learned something important that day. In the course of the 2016 campaign, Donald Trump created the perception that he was different and was going to break with the traditional Republican foreign policy. […]

Talibased? White Supremacist Praise of the Taliban Takeover Concerns U.S. Officials

It is true that we respect the Taliban. The Taliban fought for their religion and their country to expel a foreign invader. They fought for self government. In contrast, we fought for feminism, cultural degeneration, imperialism and to sustain an endless grift that enriched corrupt defense contractors and their puppets in the Beltway. The Taliban […]

RT: Biden and Trump Flip Flop On Afghanistan

Now that Joe Biden has changed his position on Afghanistan, Trump has changed his position to own the libs. The difference seems to be that Joe Biden learned something from experience.

Lindsey Graham: Joe Biden Is Scaring The Hell Out of Me

NEW from me:“You’ll be struck by this: It’s not every day an American president in effect repudiates the preceding two decades of American foreign policy. That’s what Joe Biden has done.”And has he in fact repudiated even more? Three decades? Or seven?https://t.co/JxjcvGPD2n — Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) September 1, 2021 Bill Kristol and Lindsey Graham hate […]

Secular Talk: Trump Calls For Restarting Afghanistan War

This has been painful to watch. It hardly comes as a surprise though. This is why Trump won Independent voters in 2016, but decisively lost them in the 2020 election. He says one thing and does another. He bloviates and can’t be trusted. In our case, we have been done with Trump since the Syria […]

Dan Crenshaw: The War In Afghanistan Isn’t Over

Newt Gingrich: U.S. May Spend More Money on Defense After Afghanistan Withdrawal

Clearly, we need to spend more money on the Pentagon, which sees us as “fascism” and its “domestic enemy” and is currently purging people who share our views from the military. We need to spend more money on these failed generals like Gen. Jack Keane who lose every war that they start and the corrupt […]

Vladimir Putin: Afghanistan Is a “Less Than Zero Result” For the U.S.

Afghanistan was a sinkhole of American lives and treasure and ultimately the occupation wasn’t so much about winning a war or counterterrorism as it was a useful means to redistribute wealth to the Beltway. Note: Everyone but the GOP understands that Afghanistan was a debilitating quagmire for the United States.

Axios: Trump National Security Adviser Briefs House GOP on Afghanistan

We’re all tired of hearing about Afghanistan. Unfortunately, the GOP has no intention of dropping the issue, which is becoming their new Benghazi. They intend to make their position of staying in Afghanistan forever a defining issue in the 2022 midterms. What’s more, the GOP is planning to double down on imperialism in order to […]

Joe Biden Defends Afghanistan Exit

This was a bold and smart move. Donald Trump was incapable of standing up to the generals, the “journalists” and the Republican Senate with impeachment hanging over his head. Now the GOP owns staying in Afghanistan forever.

Poll: Most Americans Support Afghanistan Withdrawal

I would like to see these numbers a year from now. Staying in Afghanistan is a losing argument now at the height on the media onslaught and in the wake of the worst optics of the withdrawal. Pew Research Center: Note: MAGA now supports occupying Afghanistan forever to own the libs.

Breaking Points: Matt Taibbi Calls For Third Party To End Forever Wars

Now that the war in Afghanistan is over, there will be an insatiable push to start a new war somewhere else to keep the grift going. The American Empire will need to demonstrate its “credibility.”

Rachel Maddow: With Final Exit, U.S. Joins List Of Countries Unable To Break Afghanistan’s Will

I had a good laugh watching this segment. Aren’t conservatives supposed to study history? Aren’t conservatives supposed to be wise? Aren’t conservatives supposed to be skeptical of utopian social engineering projects? Isn’t conservatism supposed to be based on experience?

Ross Douthat: Joe Biden’s Critics Lost Afghanistan

When I was 13 we invaded Afghanistan. I’m 33 now. We were told we have to get Bin Laden then that we had to destroy al-qaeda’s safe haven. Both of those were accomplished by *2011*. I don’t care how loud & long the pro-war media ghouls shriek. Today is a good day. We’re fully out […]

Brian Stelter: “Journalism” Could Become a Black Hole In Afghanistan

the media’s biggest Afghanistan sin? it got married to a narrative; @ReliableSources pic.twitter.com/SIZWvnnQcd — Eric Boehlert (@EricBoehlert) August 29, 2021 Earlier this month Beheshta Arghand made Afghan history by interviewing a Taliban official on TV. But now the 24-year-old Afghan journalist has fled the country. Here’s what she told me via WhatsApp pic.twitter.com/RIXdgDA1UM — Brian […]

Mitch McConnell: Afghanistan Isn’t An Endless War

As we approach the 2022 midterms, Mitch McConnell was on FOX News Sunday this morning to discuss the GOP policy on Afghanistan which is supporting imperialism and endless war. George W. Bush’s policy was working in Afghanistan. It wasn’t an endless war. Everything was under control. Terrorism was under control in Afghanistan in spite of […]

CNN: Mitt Romney Pushes Back On Endless War Debate

It takes “two sides to end a war,” Jake. As we approach the 2022 midterms, the GOP is making it clear that their side wants to resume the war with the Taliban, reinvade Afghanistan, retake Bagram Air Force Base and resettle hundreds of thousands of Afghan refugees in the United States. Presumably, the GOP wants […]

National Review: The Forever War Fallacy

Editor’s Note: This is a work in progress. Noah Rothman, one of the loudest unreconstructed Jewish neocons from Commentary Magazine who opposed Donald Trump in the 2016 election, has a front page article in the latest edition of National Review called “The Forever War Fallacy.” In spite of the puppet government in Afghanistan collapsing in […]

Daily Mail: Up To 100 Afghan Refugees Are On Intelligence Agency Watch Lists

We don’t ever learn anything from experience. ZERO THOUGHT is given to the consequences of resettling refugees from war zones and vastly different cultures in the secular and liberal West. We are ruled by grifters and emoting morons. Daily Mail: “As many as 100 Afghan evacuees flown out of war-torn Kabul are on intelligence agency […]

Chris Hedges: “Suddenly, The Media Cares About Afghanistan”

Chris Hedges makes an excellent point. If you look at the big picture, every country in the region is the way it is today because of decades of American imperialism and meddling. This is particularly true of Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Gaza, Syria and Libya. It is also our so-called allies in the region – […]

FLASHBACK: U.S. Leaves Bagram Air Force Base

I didn’t write about this when it happened at the time. The GOP wasn’t screaming about how pulling out of Bagram Air Force Base was the worst catastrophe in history at the time. The “journalists” were still ignoring Afghanistan even though the Taliban was steadily gaining ground. New York Times: “KABUL, Afghanistan—American troops and their […]

The Return of the Pro-War Right

The anti war movement has finally gotten what it wanted. They ended the forever war in Afghanistan. As a result, women will return to bondage, our allies will be murdered, America has been humiliated and Afghanistan is again a safe haven for terror. — Eli Lake (@EliLake) August 27, 2021 Soviak graduated highschool in 2017.

President Blumpf: “We Would Have Bombed The Hell Out Of Them”

Miss me yet? The Federalist: “While Biden continues to point the finger at Trump for negotiating with the Taliban, the former president said the agreement his administration orchestrated was clear about consequences. “We had a very strong agreement. It was conditions-based. Now there were many other parts of the agreement also. And if they violated […]
