Stabbed in the Back & the Real Deep State
Welp, looks like Kabul has fallen and the Taliban has taken over the Presidential Palace, the former leader has long fled the country. And now we wait and see the results. Once again, the people, to include vets over at r/military are pushing back on the narrative coming out of the MSM (and the foreign policy establishment), to include pointing at the finding that most generals have known for years that the Afghans didn't know how to fight and would fold like a cheap trick.
And I'll admit I expected the Taliban to take over much of the country, but not this quickly. And I expected more of a fight to happen. Guess I was wrong. That the corruption went much deeper than even I thought. Now, this isn't to minimize the issue of our terps hurting (see this call for help, indeed some sad shit, though wasn't it Trump who made sure they couldn't come over easily?) or women [1] and how they'll be treated.
cry for help for a terp.
But, in the end, there was no one to fight (though since there was no fighting at all, I have to think that many ANA commanders had already made deals with the Taliban, nvm how corrupt many of the leaders were and who probably didn't pay or back up their soldiers). Hence the fleeing.
Looks like someone who's claiming his troops are ready to fight has been told to stand down. Someone has a Swiss bank account to get to, stop fighting, you.
troops feelingOf course, that still doesn't mean those who were meant to make money on this massive money laundering operation aren't going to go all in on "we were just gonna win" and "we were stabbed in the back", with the latter being one I fear will galvanize the right (though even the likes of Ann Coulter aren't biting and claiming this is smart by Biden).
People trying to flee the country. Not an easy sight to take in.
Still, the MSM [2] bangs this drum long enough and it will change a few minds for sure (with the task of making Biden look weak, when he's actually pretty fucking brave for doing this). I do hope he goes on the offensive and starts an audit. Let's see who really stabbed our nation in the back.[3] Who was paid (let's look at contractors etc etc) to train these people? Who was given money to build and did nothing? Track down the millionaires who made their 💵 from this war and you'll get them to shut up pretty quick IMO.
Otherwise the stabbed in the back story will gain a lot of traction and empower our right wingers at far too much. Speaking of the American Taliban and their ilk here in the states (and why we should nation build here first, before trying it anywhere else). Here you have the cops basically allowing our own Taliban to do as they want. Great.
And this isn't to say that we have a fight coming with eco-fascim (which will, in fact, take the face of the the likes of the Taliban, tbf, in many places around the world), but seeing which ones have power, here at home, and dealing with it there is the most important thing IMO.
[1] Note that the crocodile tears the right or foreign policy est sheds for women should be looked on as the BS that it is. No one cares for Taliban's treatment of women. But if we're in the business of a in international women's power movement (nvm that we don't even have an ERA here at home), then, all right, let's discuss that and make that our goal in foreign policy. You won't hear much about this from many of these people though.
[2] the closest thing we have to a deep state, the combination of foreign policy hawks, the lobbyists peddling influence (weapons manufacturers, contractors, gulf states, KSA, Israel etc) in DC and in the media and the list goes on. Note that This isn't the swamp that Trump ever even touch.
[3] Another BS talking point making the rounds is that 3k troops would have made a difference. Note that we've been losing land to the Taliban for the past few years (where Trump increased bombings to a high level, one not seen for a long time). So why listen to these grifters... Also there's the new domino theory that's dumber than the last one.
Ah, never stop grifting foreign establishment
