We must keep adversaries from seeing “some of the vulnerabilities and deficiencies that we have.”
The State Department recently issued its series of excuses for the botched Afghanistan retreat during which it blamed it in part on remote work during COVID-19 in the form of a report. The full report however can’t be seen lest our enemies discover that we’re led by woke idiots who are not very good at this whole ‘war’ thing because they really don’t care one way or another. And if they discover that, then it’s all over but the swiping.
Secretary of State ANTONY BLINKEN previewed all these findings during a private town hall in April. During that session, the same day the White House released its own summary of a Pentagon review, Blinken said he was unlikely to distribute State’s version in full to keep adversaries from seeing “some of the vulnerabilities and deficiencies that we have.”
Blinken is one of those vulnerabilities and deficiencies and I think they already know about him.
It’s nice of Biden Inc. to try and keep our adversaries from finding out anything about its cowardly disaster in Afghanistan. Presumably, that’s also the motive behind the State Dept’s refusal to cooperate with the Afghanistan watchdog.
In June, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction’s office (SIGAR), dispatched letters to Secretary of State Blinken and Samantha Power complaining that the State Department and USAID were stonewalling its investigation of waste, corruption and terror cash.
“A State official has informed SIGAR that department staff have received internal direction to not engage with or speak to SIGAR without prior clearance from State legal counsel,” the open letter that was also sent to members of Congress revealed.
Blinken and Power are just trying to prevent our adversaries from finding out that we’re sending money to terrorists. And by adversaries, they don’t mean Russia or China, but the real enemy, the American people.
We asked the State Department why it chose to release the report, which was completed months ago, right before a holiday weekend. A spokesperson said the report “is available to the public, was provided to any media outlet that requested it and documents information that is important at any time.”
“But the plans were on display…”
“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”
“That’s the display department.”
“With a flashlight.”
“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”
“So had the stairs.”
“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”

They try hiding the facts, but the fact is, they are corrupt and they are stupid. They are evil to the core, and pretend that their “adversaries” are the same as those of regular people.
Were not the terrorists in afghanistan, pakistan, iran, iraq,, syria, and elsewhere the “adversaries”? Those ones **know** the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of this corrupt *administration* They have made real use of the weapons left and the money sent to them to endanger the world.
Evil people never want their weaknesses to be revealed. blinken and his bosses are evil and they know it. They just believe that others are unaware of just how evil they are. A facade of goodness and concern for the public is what they believe they show, when it’s clear, they are wicked and have no concern for the public.

“Some of the vulnerabilities and deficiencies”:you want to stop that?
Like..like..the C-in-C of the US military telling us he is the C-in-C in front of a Rainbow Pride flag and not an American flag?Like supplying weapons to the Taliban?
Looks like those ‘vulnerabilities and deficiencies’ are already in the Biden administration.
Adversaries?..They seem to be in the White House.

Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden is responsible for that catastrophe which he created in Afghanistan.
Just think of all those Americans and out good Afghans friends he abandoned in Afghanistan to be encountered captured tortured and murdered by the bloodthirsty Taliban.
To make matters even worse Biden admitted many unchecked and unvetted “refugees” into and throughout the United States , a number of them , not doubt are criminal and secret jihadists scheming and waiting for the time they consider to engage in murderous violence.
The innocent people who will be murdered by them will guilty and likewise Biden will also then have their blood on his sinister wicked and destructive hands.
All that evil in Afghanistan would never have happened if that President Pretender, Joe Biden just threw away and totally destroyed nearly twenty years of progress accomplished by the blood sweat and tears and even the deaths of many Americans as well as those blood, sweat and tears of America’s allies.
Also Biden threw away more than trillion of the American taxpayer’s money that was invested in for the betterment and development of Afghanistan.
This tragic scenario didn’t actually have to had happen in Afghanistan because the generals of the Pentagon who are strategic military advisers to the President strongly counseled Biden not to have a sharp, sudden withdrawal from Afghanistan but instead have and start a gradual drawback of the US armed forces after September 11, 2021.
The problem was that the arrogant conceited and stupid Joe Biden refused to heed or listen to the wise council of the intellects of the Pentagon. Therefore is this complete catastrophe with the Taliban total takeover of Afghanistan.
In the ancient but wisdom filled book by Sun Tzu entitled THE ART OF WAR, it is written “He will win who has the military capability and is not interfered with the sovereign.”
That awful incompetent and probably even treasonous villain, Joe Biden, ruined everything.
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden is the one who should really have an indictment charges filed against him .For many reasons.
One of those reasons is because that treasonous US “President” Biden, has aided and new continues to support that murderous Taliban enemy conquer Afghanistan and even let the America and American people hating Taliban have new high quality US military equipment.
Likewise, Biden is a traitor to all the families and friends of those US soldiers, who had shed their blood, were killed and terribly maimed for life by the Taliban. For creepy traitorous old Joe just ‘gave away” Afghanistan to the Taliban.
Biden also has betrayed many Americans and the good Afghans who really aided the US military in the land by abandoning them all to the vicious and murderous Taliban.
Furthermore, Biden really does not care about those thirteen Americans who died or the other American who died in Afghanistan because of either his incompetence or treasonous orders.
Therefore , Joe Biden is very, obviously is ether completely incompetent and despicably treasonous. In the first or second case Biden should not have been allowed be enter the Office of the Presidency in the first place.
As that catastrophe, he created in Afghanistan and letting the Talban obtain may high quality US military equipment.
As the former US President Theodore Roosevelt that the Office of the Presidency in not only a powerful position but “a very strong man” is needed for the Oval Office. Joe Biden is not a strong man but as already stated is weak and feeble.
Roosevelt also, rightly, believed “a man holding that very important Office “should be sharply watch by the people [and] held to a strict accountability by them.”
Walter Sieruk says
That horrible policy and directed action of that horrendously treasonous “president” Joe Biden in Afghanistan does indeed have a galvanizing effect to stir and impel the jihadists of many different Islamic terror/murder organizations around the world to continue even stronger than before.
Especially since they have their useful idiot and stooge sitting and resting in the Oval Office of the White House masquerading as a real, genuine, United States President.
That treacherous fiend old man Joe Biden asset and inspiration to America’s enemies around the world.
Walter Sieruk says
One of the many reasons that Joe Biden has very low approval ratings because he is terrible in many ways. For example, Biden had ordered the US pullout from Afghanistan that awful action of his that reveals the horrendous folly of his judgement in many wrong and tragic ways. As in, for example allowing the Taliban enemy to have all the state of the art high quality US military equipment.
After all the Americans who died and the many others who had been terrible wounded and over a trillion dollars of wasted American taxpayers money invested in that awful mayhem is also awful.
Another horrible consequence of Biden’s treachery in Afghanistan are all those unvetted Afghan /Muslims now spreading across the United States. If any Americans, in any way are harmed by some those unvetted Afghan “refugees” who might be either criminals or violent jihadists then Biden will have their innocent blood on his wicked hands.
Since the end of August and because of that despicable villain Joe Biden, has betrayed and abandoned many Americans and left them to in Afghanistan to be brutally murdered by the Taliban.
Walter Sieruk says
The Joe Biden with his rash and terrible withdrawal orders made American disaster in Afghanistan. This is also tragic for the female’s natives in Afghanistan because with Islam, women will never have equal rights with men.
It will only become worse for women after the Taliban regains in power in that country.
For example, on the morning of April 17, 2019 on FOX NEWS television the subject was covered about the idea of having “peace talks “with the Taliban. Viewing the history of the Taliban when they were in power in Afghanistan and the brutal ruthless misogyny they had engaged in was both vicious and malicious to the extreme.
Therefore the question, naturally, was brought up, now that peace talks” might soon begin, the Taliban was asked if they return to power in Afghanistan “ would they respect female rights ?”
To that question the Taliban replied “that when back in power they would respect.
Women‘s rights but only to the limits of the cultural of will they permit those rights of women.”
The point is that the “cultural of Afghanistan” is really the religion of Afghanistan, which is Islam.
Therefore the reality is that female rights, for both girls and woman, will not exist in a future Taliban controlled Islamic state of Afghanistan. For Islam is a religion of harsh and malice- filled misogyny.
As explained in the book, by Brigitte Gabriel, of the title THEY MUST BE STOPPED. Her book informs the readers on page 172. “Women in Islam are considered unclean, deemed inferior even to dirt.”
Walter Sieruk says
The Taliban victory is the outcome of horrible man, the calamities of Joe Biden in Office seems to have no end or limit.
By Biden giving victory to the Taliban is very galvanizing Muslim terrorists, including those jihadists of ISIS, because of 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.

“vulnerabilities”
It is imperative to have competent military forces with proper leadership.People need to know that their military forces can engage with the enemy.If you want to wear a dress Mr General and call yourself ‘fifi fluffypants”‘then do it on your own time.And NOT at taxpayer’s expense or on the job.
It is really really important that people feel they can trust the military and trust they can do the job of defending them.And not sit around discussing their feminine side/questioning their sexuality on the eve of battle.
Certain military units-the US Marines,US Navy Seals,US Army Rangers,101 Airborne{or in the UK the Royal Marines,SAS/SBS} the French Foreign Legion the IDF{the Israeli DEFENSE force}etc are competent forces and civilians know that -they’ll do the job-but all this Leftist politically nonsense is ridiculous.This destroys morale and makes it unattractive to men in particular to ever want to be in the military.
Will officers have to give their prefered pronouns now?
What if a General decides he is now a female Admiral?
kudos to those forces fighting Terrorism.That includes those who operated in Afghanistan.

All they have to do is watch a few videos of biden giving speeches, or bumbling speeches and then looking lost until a handler steps up and leads him away.
Or watch his spokes idiot flip pages and then have an “um, ah, uh,” stuttering episode until she claims to have answered the question.

“vulnerabilities and deficiencies” Way too many to count. Dems are the main adversaries of the Republic. I cant figure out why they even live here. The unfunny, degenerate, country wrecking, clown car administration.

If Ukraine joins NATO this will result in WW3.It will be caused by the west/Nato
We should be talking to the Russians to resolve this.Ukraine becoming part of NATO IS a Casus Belli.
You can’t just ignore them!It’s not as if NATO/west are the good guys and the Russians are the bad guys.
Both sides have used mercenaries for example.
Russia is like a big bear and America is like an Eagle with a broken wing pecking at the bear.
There are forces pushing for ww3.Zelensky is just a puppet.

NATO really stopped being a force for good in the 90s, when it bombed Serbia and pried out Kosovo from Belgrade’s control. If they were fair, they should have likewise forced Bosnia to part w/ Srpska, which is heavily Serb, not muslim! Really speaking, there is no reason to have US troops in Europe more than 30 years after WWII has ended: it’s high time we shut down Ramstein and Incirlik (!) & deployed them elsewhere, like either Latin America or the Indo-Pacific region
I do think there is a way to admit Ukraine into NATO, & make it meaningful again (maybe change the first A in NATO to stand for ‘Arctic’ rather than ‘Atlantic’). It would be admitting Ukraine, as well as Russia, Belarus, Georgia and Armenia. This newly reformed NATO could then have 2 missions – confronting both Chinese and Turkish belligerence. Of course, Russia would have to be convinced to end its alliance w/ China & exit groups like SCO, BRICS & so on. It would be a lot easier then to isolate China
