Good day all. Once again, we see that there is nothing that Dementia Joe can’t screw up completely. He decided to do the standard Democratic Communazi military strategy of “Cut and Run” in Afghanistan, (Last see in Vietnam in 1975), and just like the North Vietnamese, the Taliban is taking full advantage of President Dementia’s incompetence.
In the last few weeks, the Taliban has been overrunning on city after another, and in short order will be in Kabul. This has alarmed President Dementia, who can’t seem to understand why his many years of foreign policy experience isn’t working. (Here’s a tip Joe, you’ve always been on the wrong side of every major foreign policy decision) Now he’s threatening the Taliban with, drum roll please, ISOLATION! Here are the details from the Associated (With terrorists), Press:
A U.S. peace envoy brought a warning to the Taliban on Tuesday that any government that comes to power through force in Afghanistan won’t be recognized internationally after a series of cities fell to the insurgent group in stunningly quick succession.
Zalmay Khalilzad, the U.S. envoy, traveled to Doha, Qatar, where the Taliban maintain a political office, to tell the group that there was no point in pursuing victory on the battlefield because a military takeover of the capital of Kabul would guarantee they would be global pariahs. He and others hope to persuade Taliban leaders to return to peace talks with the Afghan government as American and NATO forces finish their pullout from the country.
Does this bozo have any clues at all in his brain? The Taliban doesn’t care what the rest of the world thinks. They never have. If they did, they would have handed Osama bin Laden over back in 2001.
The insurgents have captured six out of 34 provincial capitals in the country in less than a week, including Kunduz in Kunduz province — one of the country’s largest cities. On Sunday, they planted their flag in the main square, but government forces still controlled the strategic airport and an army base on the city’s outskirts.
Yes, the government forces control those areas, for now. I have little doubt they will be handed over to the Taliban in short order, probably without a fight.
After a 20-year Western military mission and billions of dollars spent training and shoring up Afghan forces, many are at odds to explain why the regular forces have collapsed, fleeing the battle sometimes by the hundreds. The fighting has fallen largely to small groups of elite forces and the Afghan air force.
Why are they running? The answer is why shouldn’t they? The incompetents running things have once again failed to learn from previous failures. They also failed to comprehend how Afghanistan has worked since the time of Alexander the Great. We wasted hundreds of billions of dollars doing the same old failed idea of nation building. The only time it’s ever worked was at the end of World War Two, with Germany and Japan, and that was due to both countries being absolutely leveled. In the case of Japan, it was also nuked as well.
They had been completely broken, both physically and spiritually. (The crushing of Nazism and the virtual stripping of his “godhood” of the Emperor in Japan) We accomplished this by waging absolute total war on them, something that has not been done by the United State since then.
The success of the Taliban blitz has added urgency to the need to restart the long-stalled talks that could end the fighting and move Afghanistan toward an inclusive interim administration. The insurgents have so far refused to return to the negotiating table.
Why should they come back to the table? What’s in it for them? They’re winning.
Khalilzad’s mission in Qatar is to “help formulate a joint international response to the rapidly deteriorating situation in Afghanistan,” according to the U.S. State Department.
You want a response? I can provide it to you. In fact, anyone who served in “The Rockpile,” (Afghanistan), would be able to suggest it to you. Kill them all. Use everything in the United States arsenal. The rules of engagement would be quite simple. Flatten everything. Burn the crops, kill all the adult men, level all the villages, poison the water supply, basically go full on scorched earth. Also, don’t hesitate to go after them in their “Safe Havens.” If that means carpet bombing areas of Pakistan, so be it.
He plans to “press the Taliban to stop their military offensive and to negotiate a political settlement, which is the only path to stability and development in Afghanistan,” the State Department said.
I really need the Diplomad’s input on this idiocy. He might not be as bloodthirsty as I am, but he knows just how incompetent the State Department is. They are the reason things never got better in either Iraq or Afghanistan, and we can blame this on President George W. Bush. That globalist failure threw away what should have been a total victory by playing “Lets build a nation because we’re so smart!”
Meanwhile, the Taliban military chief released an audio message to his fighters on Tuesday, ordering them not to harm Afghan forces and government officials in territories they conquer. The recording was shared on Twitter by the Taliban spokesman in Doha, Mohammad Naim.
Looks like someone has been studying history. If you just take all the captured government forces and shoot them, they will either break and run for the next country over, or if trapped, fight to the death, not having anything to lose and wanting to take as many of the Taliban with them as possible. No doubt they will wait until they are securely in charge before they start the mass executions.
There have also been reports of revenge killings. The insurgents have claimed responsibility for killing a comedian in southern Kandahar, assassinating the government’s media chief in Kabul and a bombing that targeted acting Defense Minister Bismillah Khan Mohammadi, killing eight and wounding more. The minister was not harmed.
I guess the comedian really wasn’t that funny.
The surge in Taliban attacks began in April, when the U.S. and NATO announced they would end their military presence and bring the last of their troops home. The final date of the withdrawal is Aug. 31, but the U.S. Central Command has said the pullout is already 95% complete.
On Monday, the U.S. emphasized that the Biden administration now sees the fight as one for Afghan political and military leaders to win or lose — and showed no sign of stepping up airstrikes despite the Taliban gains.
That sounds like what happened in Vietnam. The Democrats of the time cut off all support that they had promised, (Gee, Progressive Liberal Democrats lying? Who would have thought?), and without supplies or any assistance, were overrun. That led to purges and the Killing fields in Cambodia. I fully expect to see a repeat.
Khalilzad, the architect of the peace deal the Trump administration brokered with the Taliban, was expected to hold talks with key regional players and will likely seek a commitment from Afghanistan’s neighbors and other counties in the region not to recognize a Taliban government that comes to power by force. When the Taliban last ran Afghanistan, three countries recognized their rule: Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
If President Trump were still in office, I suspect things would be a little different. He expects agreements to be kept and if you don’t, he will do something about it. As for the recognition stuff? I expect Pakistan to ignore the maladministration, since they’ve been backing the Taliban since day one, and were hiding Osama bin Laden from the United States. Saudi Arabia might not recognize them, however I won’t be surprised if Iran does.
Pakistan’s national security adviser, Moeed Yusuf refused to definitively say whether Pakistan, which holds considerable sway over the Taliban, would recognize a Taliban government installed by force, saying instead that Pakistan wants to see an “inclusive” government in Kabul.
Sure they do. What they want is for the Taliban to stay out of Pakistan. If the Taliban starts playing games with Pakistan, the ISS will make things painful for their leadership. As for any influence the United States had? That ended on January 20th, 2021 when President Dementia stumbled his way through the oath and took office. The entire world knows that Joe Biden is unfit to hold office, and they aren’t paying much attention to him. The Taliban will take over Afghanistan again and return the country to the dark ages. 20 years of wasted effort.
