Since the group of people with the largest percentage of unvaccinated are African Americans who vote 90% for Democrats, it appears they listened to what Joe Biden and Kamala Harria said about the vaccines during the 2020 election campaign.:sad:

Never thought I would see the day when I had more confidence in European leaders than I have in the President of the United States.   Way to go "Sleepy" Joe Biden.:cry:

The Biden administration says they have daily contacts with members of the Taliban. Wouldn't surprise me if Biden made a Taliban leader one of his advisers as part of his diversity program.😏

Here's a truth for you. The brilliant Joe Biden pulled our troops out of Afghanistan and abandoned a key military airbase before American civilians and Afghan refugees had been evacuated from the country. 

Träumer - genau von diesem Militärflugplatz werden nun tausende von Menschen "evakuiert".

If you want to move from Moscow to Texas , comrade Golfer, all you need to do is fly to Mexico and walk across our southern border, since thanks to the Biden administration it is now wide open to the whole world.:dodgy:

Träumer. Die Idiotenmauer von Trump war immer voll mit Löcher wie ein Schweizer Käse - also für den Arsch ! 😁

Never had a Time subscription. Why would I want to waste my time reading the left wing garbage printed in that magazine, comrade Golfer? I get more than enough of my share of left wing lies and propaganda from you and O_U812 on this thread.

Lügner. Du hast doch selbst geschrieben: "Das Time-Magazin ist nur etwas für Dummköpfe" - also genau für Dich gemacht. 😁

Oh Afghanistan, Afghanistan. That notoriously difficult land to govern. Empire after empire, nation after nation, regime after regime, have tried and have failed, to pacify you."

Afghanistan is an incredible place. It is a mountainous landlocked country at the crossroads of Central and South-Southern Asia. Most of Afghanistan lies between 2,000 and 10,000 feet of elevation. China, Iran, and Pakistan, and three others, share a border with Afghanistan, which has one of the highest concentrations of rare earth metals in the world. The population of the country consists of numerous ethnolinguistic groups: Pashtun, Tajik, Hazara, Uzbek, Aimaq, Turkmen, Baloch, Pashai, Nuristani, Gujjar, Arab, Brahui, Qizilbash, Pamiri, Kyrgyz, Sadat and others. Although the Afghan National Anthem and the Afghan Constitution each mention fourteen of this groups of people, nobody really knows how many are there.

Afghanistan, has been given in the region the nickname “Graveyard of Empires.” Some notable invaders in the history of Afghanistan include the Greek Empire of Alexander the Great of Macedon, the Maurya Empire, the Rashidun Caliphate, the Mongol Empire led by Genghis Khan, the Timurid Empire of Timur, the Mughal Empire, various Persian Empires, the Sikh Empire, the British Empire, the Soviet Union, and most recently a coalition force of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) troops, the majority from the United States, after the fateful day of September 11, 2001. On that day, America suffered the worst attack since Pearl Harbor. 3000 Americans were killed. Thousands of others were injured, and in the years since, many thousands more have gotten sick or died from recovery efforts at Ground Zero and more will die in the coming years due to their exposure to breathable toxins in the rubble. Once we knew who the mastermind was, we went looking for him. The Saudi Arabian, Osama Bin Laden. And we found him in Afghanistan. It turns out it was the same individual President Omar Hassan Ahmed Bashir, who wanted terrorism sanctions against Sudan lifted, had offered to the Clinton administration, along with detailed intelligence data about the global networks constructed by Egypt’s Islamic Jihad, Iran’s Hezbollah and the Palestinian Hamas. Bill Clinton wasn’t interested. Subsequently, the United States entered the country in the first-ever invocation of NATO's Article 5: "an attack on one is an attack on all," following the attacks in the United States.

However, the Taliban who had no foreknowledge of Bin Laden's plans, rejected the infidel foreign invaders. By December 2001, the distraction of crushing the Taliban, gave Osama bin Laden, the leader of Al'Qaeda, and other of his top commanders, the opportunity to flee to safety from his cave in the region of Tora Bora into Pakistan, a nominal U.S. ally. American forces did not pursue them as they entered Waziristan, the remote, autonomous, semi-wild region of Pakistan ruled by warlords, which ultimately evolved into a safe haven. Instead, the Americans settled into a strategic, cloak and dagger pursuit of Bin Laden. Eventually finding him in a compound next door to Pakistan's version of West Point—imagine the surprise—through the water boarding of three key individuals, beginning with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM), one of Bin Laden's strategic 9/11 planners. And the rest is history. Well…Not so fast. The Taliban, can be said, was born out of chaos. It sprung forth from the bloody civil war that emerged when the Soviets evacuated Afghanistan after ten years of military occupation. The adhesive that kept the various factions together to fight one common enemy, the Russians, disappeared and they turned on each other to settled age old tribal disputes and claims of territory. As brutally repressive as the Taliban theocracy was—7th century Islamic fundamentalism—they brought order out of chaos.

Fast forward to 2001 and the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. When the Taliban realized the destructive might of the United States, and the extent to which the Americans were willing to go, they approached the Bush administration and offered peace terms, however, to their dismay, the Americans rejected the offer—the emerging side objective of hunting Bin Laden in Afghanistan was a transfer of wealth from the taxpayers to the Military Industrial Complex, the Defense Industry, and last but not least, the politicians of both parties, they bought with the profits. Afghanistan should never have been anything other than a punitive expedition. We should have left in 2004, 2006, 2007, or ten minutes after Osama Bin Laden died—but instead recruited warlords that were the enemies of the Taliban like the Tajik Northern Alliance—bad hombres in their own right—and the Taliban was mercilessly hunted down. The Taliban then retreated and began a campaign of guerrilla warfare, using the same autonomous region of Pakistan, Waziristan, as their base of operations. And the Afghan gift of patience was observed with a sort of military strategic discipline... And here we are today.

After almost twenty years, the U.S. has spent over $2.0 trillion dollars in Afghanistan. As of April, 2021, more than 2,400 US troops and 1,100 NATO service members, and civilian contractors have died. Tenths of thousands wounded and maimed. An estimated 70,000 Afghan national security forces have also been killed, as well as over 31,000 civilians and even thousands of Talibani. Afghanistan's President, Ashraf Ghani, has fled to neighboring Tajikistan on a Russian made transport helicopter weighted down by pallets of American $100 dollar bills. He's suspected of having millions more in secret Swiss and Pakistani bank accounts. Meanwhile, the Afghan National Army, who hadn't been paid in months, hadn't been resupplied with ammo or equipment, which as of last week was still showing up to fight, saw the writing on the wall and faded away. Now thousands of them will die in unrestrained retribution for allying themselves with the occupying infidels. The Taliban has their names. Their Taliban sympathizer neighbors know where they live. Their service records are in the hands of the Taliban punishment squads. It’s already happening. Whole families executed. One of the high ranking Taliban leaders, who will see to the appropriate punishment, and a point man for the Taliban talks with the Biden administration, is none other Khairullah Khalilzad, the unrepentant Mullah released from GITMO by a jubilant president Barack HUSSEIN Obama back in 2014, after eight years of incarceration. Mullah Khairkhwa previously served as the Taliban’s interior minister in Afghanistan, where he oversaw enforcement of brutal Islamist punishments including beheadings, before he was sent on an all expenses paid vacation to Guantanamo Bay. Khairkhwa was one of the five hardcore Taliban commanders exchanged for the coward and deserter, Robert Bergdahl. And no, they didn’t go back to herding goats.

We have forsaken our brave Afghan comrades like we did our allies in the past. After World War Two ended, we turned our backs on Chiang’s Chinese national government and Mao took over. In Southeast Asia, in Vietnam's, Laos's and Cambodia's highlands, the indigenous people, our fearless allies the Montagnards and Hmong, were left to the mercies of the Communists. The Cuban commandos of Brigade 2506 at the Bay of Pigs, we abandoned them on the beach outnumbered ten to one, after the landing. Our Iraqi allies in the first gulf, later massacred by Hussein. America has a shameful history of abandoning allies who place everything on the line when asked by America to join them. When our interests change and our politicians’ poll numbers dip, we run, and we abandon our allies to the mercies of our enemies. It has happened too many times before. It’s a travesty justice and morality.

Realistically, sooner or later we would have had to leave Afghanistan. That’s not the issue. The issue is how we are leaving the country. The Biden Administration didn’t even notify our NATO allies! How could this happen? We have the mightiest military the world has ever seen. We know now, that the slow-paced evacuation, which was to be conducted over several months, as planned by the Trump administration, was dismissed, and instead it was turned into a weekend’s full blown retreat. We are leaving in reckless abandonment. We have sealed the fate of thousands of allies and their families. But not only them. There are an estimated 10,000 to 15,000 American civilians trapped in Kabul, with no way to get to the airport. And no plans for their extraction. It’s egregiously outrageous.

Our senile commander in chief—no upper cases deserved here—has made us all inadvertently complicit in mass murder. Most Americans can’t even begin to process the scale of death and misery to come to Afghanistan. This same pathetic, empty suit, who wants to disarm Americans, just handed the Taliban billions of dollars worth of American armament, including sophisticated advanced weaponry and classified equipment. After lying to the American people, it turns out Biden was warned a month ago, in a State Department memo, that the Afghan government would fall if we rushed the withdrawal. He ignored it. When everything went wrong, he then goes on television. Everything you hear from this point on is damage control. The Biden administration, which up to now, could be summarized in several words, delusional, inept, and contemptible—illegitimate too but that’s for another time—can now also be described as criminally negligent. And there is also this question: Why is the Biden administration not acknowledging the Afghan government's VP, Amrullah Saleh, who hasn’t surrendered, and announce he’s acting President under the constitution the US helped draft? I'm telling you something stinks other than the obvious?

To all of you patriots who served in Afghanistan, I promise, you will be needed once again. And soon. And not in some Bureaucrat, Blue Blood, Skull and Bones created debacle at the edge of the world. I mean needed, as in needed like the Spartans at Thermopylae. The weakness on display right now by the Government of the United States, will not go unnoticed by the world at large. We can expect now to be poked in the chest here, because we have shown that we will take it. That next war might very well be here on our soil. We are going to need all you War Machines. Walk proudly knowing that in your exploitation, they turned you all into a generation of very, very dangerous people. That you, especially the Enlisted class, learned how to make war in a manner not seen for decades. Perhaps ever. You can and will survive. Thank you for your service.

And for you would-be our allies in the future. A lesson can be extracted from this man-made humanitarian crisis. Seeing all this, would you ever join America? Would you ever put the lives of your loved ones in the hands of the duplicitous Americans? Can you trust America? It’s a rhetorical question. The answer is painfully obvious.

History repeats itself? No. We repeat history.
