The precipitous, mindless, rash withdrawal from Afghanistan commanded by Joe Biden is them most catastrophic military failure in American history. Not only were Afghan allies and NATO allies abandoned shamefully (causing a diplomatic melt-down), but $85 billion in advanced weaponry was left for a terrorist organization … the biggest military cache captured by America’s enemies in all military history. Moreover, the great gains in Afghan democratization, education, industries and commerce in will be undone by the 7th-century Talibans who think modernity is rubbish … except for modernity’s weaponry.
The absolute stupidity and recklessness of the Biden conduct has not yet sunk into the minds of most Americans. The results of this catastrophe will be felt for years to come after the Taliban consolidates its rigid control of Afghanistan and starts to march its jihadists to countries around the world.
The white-haired ghost in the White House is a decrepit and failing figure. He’s lied about his generals who all asserted they advised against the catastrophic decision of withdrawing precipitously.
They are all responsible for this dangerous situation which could easily have been avoided.
The retreat from Afghanistan was NOT a good move for many reason, no matter how ‘ISOLATIONIST’ many Americans are. NATO maintains troops in many sensitive regions just to keep worse things from happening.
Now Afghanistan will go down the road to international jihadic terrorism and NATO will be forced to return to fight the same battles a second time.

Clare Lopez is interesting for her account of Iran’s involvement in 9/11 which she rightly observes is not covered in the mainstream media at all.

Yes, Michael–some of that has been covered here before.
“Islamic Republic of Iran admits to facilitating 9/11 jihad attacks”
That victory for the Taliban might well be very galvanizing to many Muslim terrorists, because of Joe Biden because of his arrogant conceit refused to heed the wisdom the US generals who advised of him for a planned gradual withdrawal of the Americans military forces from Afghanistan.
Likewise, this this triumph of the Taliban in Afghanistan may, indeed, serve as catalyzed for different Islamic terrorist organizations further strive to fulfill their goal for the violent jihad for the cause of Islam.
So it’s actually the fault of that President pretender Joe Biden that the increase of the deathly violence of Islamic terrorism in the world because of the awful judgement and terrible folly of Biden concerning Afghanistan that zeal will rise among the jihadists with their Islamic terror entities.
This proves that this bogus president now sitting in the Oval Office of the White House masquerading as a genuine Chief Executive of the USA is a very dangerous and wicked man.
