The Morning Report - 8/17/21

Good morning, kids. Tuesday, and the abject catastrophe of the Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Ron Klain bug-out of our presence in Afghanistan continues, threatening to spread far beyond the confines of that dark age hell hole. Let's face it; Joe Biden is not in charge of this illegitimate junta posing as an administration. He's in the latter stages of dementia and only has flashes of lucidity when he's running down this country, its heritage and citizenry for which he cares only insofar as how much he can swindle from them. That decision was made by someone, or worse, a committee of inept, ideologically-driven, faculty lounge dunderheaded Leftists whose own completely distorted worldview is the pseudo-intellectual equivalent of Biden's physical mental deterioration. It's a toss-up as to which is worse since, at the end of the day, the results are exactly the same.

Torn from his bowl of Ben & Jerry's Jew-Boysenberry Ripple and being forced kicking and screaming from his safe house at Camp David to return to DC to make a statement, he got in front of the cameras and announced to the world that the buck stops here. Mental patient that he is, he more than likely thought that the words on the teleprompter meant confirmation of "the Big Guy gets 10 percent." And right after that he placed the blame on President Trump.

"When I came into office, I inherited a deal that President Trump negotiated with the Taliban. Under his agreement, US Forces would be out of Afghanistan by May 1, 2021, just a little over three months after I took office. US forces had already drawn down during the Trump administration from roughly 15,500 American forces to 2,500 troops in country. And the Taliban was at its strongest militarily since 2001. The choice I had to make as your President was either to follow through on that agreement or be prepared to go back to fighting the Taliban in the middle of the spring fighting season. It would've been no ceasefire after May 1. There was no agreement protecting our forces after May 1. There was no status quo of stability without American casualties after May 1," Biden said during his remarks from The White House.

It's incredible how every single executive order and/or law that was passed or issued during Trump's first term was eviscerated with a stroke of a pen. And yet this issue he had no control over? Even in the position as commander-in-chief? How is that even possible? Spoiler alert: it isn't. No one was buying it. Even the always reliable agitprop media complex couldn't cover it up and blame Trump. And when you've lost Jake Tapper the fake yapper. . .

"You've been listening to [so-called quote-unquote "president"] Biden speaking at the White House -- forced to talk about the worsening crisis in Afghanistan. Forced to speak to the nation after the calamity of the Taliban, the takeover of Afghanistan. The [so-called quote-unquote "president"] stated that he stands squarely behind the decision he made to withdraw all U.S. forces from Afghanistan even though he has, in fact, been forced to send roughly 6,000 back in. The [so-called quote-unquote "president"] saying in fact that, if anything, the events of the last few days -- this foreign policy and humanitarian disaster -- proves to him that he made the right decision, given the fleeing of Afghan politicians from the country and the collapse of the Afghan military.
"The [so-called quote-unquote "president"] said that the buck stopped with him but, in fact, this speech was full of finger-pointing and blame, especially for the Afghans [...] He did not really get into or accept any blame for the catastrophic exit that we have been watching on television for the last several days."

Then again, perhaps the propagandists were ordered not to give air cover for Biden in order to pave the way for his removal from office. Not that Kamala in charge would make a damn bit of difference; she's just as clueless about reality even playing with a full deck as Biden is demented. As I stated above, Biden's a criminal who has spent nearly 50 years in government goniffing millions from the taxpayer, bribes from corporations and donors and worse selling his influence to foreign powers, some of them hostile. Is it beyond the realm of possibility, given everything we have seen and learned since last year that this move is a sellout to our greatest enemy?

Often highlighted as for being "closely aligned" with the White House during the Obama years, the Center for American Progress (CAP) carries similar influence under Biden, counting several former employees and fellows as officials in Joe Biden's White House.
The think tank's Chinese Communist Party-sponsored paper from July 2015 is entitled "Exploring Avenues for China-U.S. Cooperation on the Middle East". One of the paper's authors is now Biden's China Policy Coordinator for the Office of the Undersecretary of State for Economic Growth, Melanie Hart. . .
. . . "China and the United States are conducting regular consultation on Middle East affairs and furthering institution building," the report celebrates while urging the two countries to continue their joint efforts in the region. It also highlights Afghanistan as a potential area of cooperation:

Yet the assumption of U.S.-China competition overlooks a unique opportunity to transform U.S.-China cooperation in a region deeply important to both countries: Central and South Asia, in particular Afghanistan and Pakistan. . .
. . . The report calls for the U.S. to embrace the Chinese regime's controversial Belt and Road Initiative, as the report contains a section titled: "U.S. and China Silk Road Visions: Collaboration, not Competition.
"The opportunity to connect the Middle East with the rest of the global economy through the New Silk Road initiative offers a possible new frame of hope and progress, as the Middle East faces daunting challenges in the early years of the 21st century," it notes.

The Chi-Coms are going to paraphrase Obama and say to Biden "at some point, you've earned your ten percent" and then wave bye-bye to him. And us. We for sure are a fundamentally unserious nation but worse we have figuratively and literally insane people running this government, its foreign policy and its military and law enforcement agencies. Collectively, they have a laser-like focus inward, on chimeric "white supremacist" bogeymen while a range of international bad actors up to and including the nuclear armed Red Chinese are itching to start a war, if for no other reason than to drum up nationalist sentiment at home to quell the dissatisfaction and unrest of their own abused citizenry.

. . . while no one will be fired or even reprimanded for our disastrous exit from Afghanistan, much less for the insane decision to stay there for twenty years without having a clear idea of victory or any coherent endpoint, in China, they're paying very close attention and learning one of the obvious lessons of the last few days. The Global Times article features a cartoon of the American eagle with one wing on the shoulder of Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen, presumably offering her wise counsel while leading her to walk right into an open manhole. That sums up the article's point succinctly. "The world has witnessed," says Global Times, "how the US evacuated its diplomats by helicopter while Taliban soldiers crowded into the presidential palace in Kabul. This has dealt a heavy blow to the credibility and reliability of the US."
Indeed. The Chinese daily then reminds the world that "the US abandoned its allies in South Vietnam" in 1975, and asks, "Is this some kind of omen of Taiwan's future fate?" Clearly, if the Chinese Communist Party has anything to do with it, it is indeed an omen.
Taiwan is already no stranger to betrayal by the United States. On July 15, 1971, President Richard Nixon began the now-common practice of America abandoning allies and embracing enemies when he announced that he would become the first president to visit Communist China. The visit took place in February 1972 and led, several years after Nixon was out of office, to U.S. recognition of the Beijing government as the sole legitimate government of China and the withdrawal of that recognition from the Taiwanese government. . .
. . . Could Nixon have reached out to Communist China without betraying Taiwan? We will never know. But as far as our present-day difficulties with Communist China go, that's where our troubles began. And now the Chinese Communists see Biden's handlers as appallingly weak, providing them with an unparalleled opportunity to seize Taiwan, secure in the knowledge that America's response will be woke, weak, schoolmarmish, self-righteous, and impotent. Biden's handlers' weakness in Afghanistan could have consequences that will play out worldwide, for decades or even centuries to come. They should have known that projecting weakness on the world stage only emboldens the most evil actors. Or maybe they just didn't care.

I don't think the Chi-Coms fully understand what would happen if they should attempt to take Taiwan by force. I suspect the Taiwanese are not as weak as the Reds think. Initially it might resemble the winter war of 1939 between the Finns and Soviets. It will be the Chi-Com response to a potential initial humiliation that could set the world on fire. And then of course, there's Iran and Israel. I didn't think things could get any worse after January 6th. But what is happening now in Afghanistan is just plain scaring the shit out of me for what's to come.

20 It's incredible how every single executive order and/or law that was passed or issued during Trump's first term was eviscerated with a stroke of a pen. And yet this issue he had no control over? Even in the position as commander-in-chief? How is that even possible? Spoiler alert: it isn't.
++++
Indeed. Not to mention that the illegitimate Biden Administration broke the Trump agreement and reworked it in their own image. Trump called for a staged withdrawal with final departure on May 1, subject to Taliban good behavior (like no rape gangs, no overt expansionist policies within Afghanistan, etc.) or we would retaliate as needed to maintain our security. Biden destroyed all of that with a stroke of his pen. And when he pushed the withdrawal date back from May 1 to Sep 11, the Afghan regular army - such as it was ever particularly effective absent American control - turned and realigned with the Taliban. This storming march across Afghanistan hasn't been opposed and it has been actively assisted by the army and the people. And the Taliban will be unchecked.

27 I don't think the Chi-Coms fully understand what would happen if they should attempt to take Taiwan by force. I suspect the Taiwanese are not as weak as the Reds think. Initially it might resemble the winter war of 1939 between the Finns and Soviets. It will be the Chi-Com response to a potential initial humiliation that could set the world on fire. And then of course, there's Iran and Israel.
++++
There's the potential - in both areas - for an atomic exchange instead of the grinding combat quagmire of the Winter War. I am not sure which is worse. When nukes are involved, the smaller country will probably vanish but the larger will be catastrophically crippled, with tremendous knock-on effects globally. Israel and Taiwan may vanish - but Iran and Red China might be knocked down, too.

Risk. Taiwan may not be the soft target that they appear to be. Invading Taiwan requires a long-distance (hundred miles or so of open sea) amphibious assault that is unlikely to be uncontested. It could turn into a abattoir very quickly. And if the Taiwanese have nukes, then all bets are closed. The US may or may not help (likely not), but the Koreans and the Japanese might. They have much to fear if they become Red Chinese satellites.

It's a high-risk play, even with us out of the game.

We have 10k Americans still over there who will be used by both (or more) dueling CIA/MIC and private Intel factions for their own ends.

Time will tell, but I see only two major thematic outcomes - bad and worse.

We have absolutely lost deterrence. We lost it nearly completely under Obama, then Trump began the extremely difficult and high-risk work of reacquiring it. He was largely (though not completely) successful, which he doesn't - and never will - get credit for. It's completely gone now and getting back is going to be far harder. If it is possible at all, I suspect it will require large quantities of blood.

What I don't know - though I have dark suspicions - the loss of deterrence also means we are no longer a superpower. We still have powerful arms and force projection and defensive capability, but we might now be a former superpower - and will now live through all the vast destabilization that the loss of a superpower engenders.

60 Biden wasn't bound by Trump's Afghan withdrawal agreement, and not just because the agreement hadn't been ratified by the senate (and therefore could not bind a subsequent president).

I read an article a month or so after Biden's inauguration. It described the terms of the withdrawal agreement that Trump signed. There were a bunch of conditions that had to be satisfied by the Afghanis, and if the U.S. wasn't satisfied that the conditions had been met, the U.S. was not obligated to comply with the terms of the withdrawal agreement.

The Afghanis had not met most of the conditions in the agreement by the time Biden became "president," so all that Biden had to do was say that he was not satisfied, and then the U.S. would have had no obligation to withdraw.

This bullshit about how Biden's hands were tied by Trump's agreement is complete and utter nonsense. Just flat out lies to try and hide Biden's stupidity and massive incompetence.

In July when we walked out of Bagram in the middle of the night we removed every US contractor and their Air Force was grounded. We had taught their Army tactics that require air support just like we do and without it, the Army was immobilized.

124 There was a Phillip K. Dick book that was a bleak alternate world environment of totalitarianism and misery. The story was reflective of much of his work. The book - I think it was in "Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said" - had a little element in it as an aside, as a part of the world-building. In that world, the universities were all open and running without interference - except that they were lobster traps. Anyone who wanted to could enter the university and attend, but once you did so you were *never* allowed to leave. The campuses were surrounded by calls and concertina wire and became permanent prisons. Go to college, get locked away forever.

I have re-evaluated my thoughts on that since I first read it long ago. I am pretty sure that this would be a good idea now.

Posted by: San Franpsycho at August 17, 2021 06:46 AM (EZebt)

Risk. Taiwan may not be the soft target that they appear to be. Invading Taiwan requires a long-distance (hundred miles or so of open sea) amphibious assault that is unlikely to be uncontested. It could turn into a abattoir very quickly. And if the Taiwanese have nukes, then all bets are closed. The US may or may not help (likely not), but the Koreans and the Japanese might. They have much to fear if they become Red Chinese satellites.

It's a high-risk play, even with us out of the game.

165 The US Embassy told them not to come to the airport, shelter in place, and fill out some forms online. I'm not making that up.
_______________

Yeah, fill out forms with your local address in Afghanistan and all your personal information. Then send it to the U.S. embassy, which will be under the control of the Taliban in a few weeks (if not sooner), with terrorists reading through all this information and making up lists of which Americans and American collaborators to torture and kill next.

Why would anybody trust the U.S. government to keep their information safe? They don't keep anything safe. They won't even keep our own f*cking border from being overrun. They are massively incompetent, dangerous fools, and Americans everywhere should act accordingly and protect themselves as best they can.

I saw an interesting commentary on Hollyweird libs. The main point was most of them are dummies, and they will say anything to get a part. The key point is a handful of dummies get to choose the parts and they require you to say you are lefty. Most of these dummies just want a roll and a paying job. They don't care if they have to become Leftists because that is ancillary to what they are trying to do.

311 Mothers with young kids consumed 300% more alcohol during pandemic

One of our many failures as a society is that we expect mothers to be the perfect text book "mommy" from mommy blogger land while isolated with no extend family to help her. Oh and for this to be mostly a part time job in addition to a full time one in an office somewhere.

Its no wonder the birth rate is so low among the productive class.

China's ghoulish leaders certainly are. It might cause serious domestic friction, though. The "One-child" policy continues to bear fruit. They have too many men - so war is an obvious answer to that. It also means, though, that most families have *one* precious child to love, dote upon and to hopefully have care for them in their old age. Virtually each and every one of those single children is the most valuable thing in the world to his parents. Slaughtering them en masse on Formosa might have domestic consequences in Red China.

My dad is a professor there in a STEM department. He calls it the People's Republic of Blacksburg. He almost quit last semester because the current department head was going to force an extra requirement on him (teaching a single undergrad class) that he wasn't putting on some recent hires of darker skin tones. My dad's one of the top 3 experts in his field worldwide. He runs very large grants that flow to the university. He's a former department head. He's led dozens of people through Ph.D. dissertations. And the department head thought, "Hey, I can force Daddy TJM to do this, no problem, even though I'm not asking it of other people."

He got it sorted out once he threatened to take his grants with him out of the university to retirement.

376 Different take:

Who profits greatly when everyone is once again forced to dump billions of dollars and thousands of troops back into the endless hellhole of Afghanistan to counter the new rise of the Taliban?

This all could be just a way to reinvigorate the MIC's need for endless wars for profit.

No one foresaw that they lacked the Will to Act.

390 I don't believe people understand what Biden's failure in Afghanistan means for us. It wasn't that we left, that was presaged a long time ago. It's how we did it. He's now given rise to a sponsor of state terrorism that will outsize Iran. It's the most devious collection of Islamist terrorist and it includes the reason we were there in the first place, AQ. They will now get funding from our enemies including China, Russia, Pakistan and Iran. They don't need us. They don't need the international community. They will form up and once again attack the U.S. and Western interests with impunity- and we have no bases to strike back at them. It's the year 2000, all over again. Worse, they've opened up another from that will distract our military and use assets that could better be used elsewhere. This is a very dangerous move and presages a very insecure future.

Healthcare is a right. It's a human right. Human rights apply to humans. The regressive anti-vaccination crowd, the election fraud crowd, the insurrectionist Trumpist crowd, etc. (and there is much overlap between the groups) are clearly displaying the fact that they are not entirely human.

It isn't that healthcare isn't a human right, it is that the individuals this brave teacher is calling out are not entirely human, and thus are not worthy of the human rights our governments bestow on normal people. These sub-humans are a cancer on our society, and giving them the cover of "rights" or "law" is unjust the segment of the fully-human population that knows how to cooperate in the interests of advancement and health for all.

--------

I know that this is the conventional wisdom around here, but there's reason to think that this may be wrong.

Everyone talks about the Taliban as "terrorists," but what did they do? Why did the U.S. invade? Because they sheltered Osama Bin Laden, a Saudi terrorist, and his network. That's bad, but I'm pretty sure that if the Taliban could go back twenty years, they would have given OBL the boot. Protecting OBL was an unmitigated disaster for them. They could have been ruling Afghanistan for two decades, unmolested by anyone from the outside. Instead they had to hide in the hills for twenty years.

At this point, the Taliban is probably going to be happy to have the world go back to ignoring them. Oh sure, they'll do some shit that we don't like: burkas, no music, close the McDonald's. But what if -- just suppose that they take the country to approximately where Saudi Arabia is. Would we care? Would YOU care? Of course not.

Posted by: rhennigantx at August 17, 2021 08:12 AM (yrol0)

It might not. Food prices are up. Not quite by a quarter, but some things (like beef) have blown through 25%. On average, food is probably up in the high teens or low twenties. This may not be a major inflation driver on its own, but it will help maintain the current high price levels. We're getting both demand-pull and supply-push inflation at the same time. Excellent.

You're going to hear -- you're hearing -- a lot of unconfirmed reports about the Taliban going house to house, executing people, beating women, etc. But until you see videos, be skeptical. A bunch of different factions have every reason to lie, stretch the truth, pass on unsubstantiated rumors, and spin the facts in the worst possible way.

Anyone who opposed the withdrawal, or the way it was done, has an interest in portraying Taliban rule as brutal. Anyone with a vested interest in the U.S.-backed goverment has an interest in portraying Taliban rule as brutal. Any Neocon/interventionist who wants America invading Muslim countries has an interested in portraying Taliban rule as brutal.

Here's why you're wrong. The Taliban had been isolated by the world. The Russians were not going to help them at the time. Neither would China. That's changed and its significant. By the way, so will Iran and the slime in Pakistan. They are now the "official" government. So they will continue to train Jihadists and call them an army. Think Iran and the IRGC, etc. They now have finding and protection from their allies. By the way, we went after them because AFG had become a terrorist breeding ground. It's why UBL went there in the first place. They were never going to give him up, they'd rather fight and now they are much more dangerous.

If you're correct, then withdrawing, no matter how well-planned and well-executed, was a grave mistake. The U.S. would have to stay in Afghanistan forever. Because whether we left in order or chaos, the Taliban is coming back.

The so called "great replacement" conspiracy theory is not a conspiracy at all:

@Budgetben
A modest proposal: Utah is a red state with plenty of open federal land, unique sympathies towards refugees, and a compassionate/pragmatic governor. Let's just build a new city there and populate it with 100,000 Afghan refugees who supported our military over the past 20 years.

Best-case scenario: we 1) save our allies, 2) build a YIMBY oasis out west, and 3) turn Utah purple/blue with immigrants who love Joe Biden.

Worst-case scenario: 1+2, except the Afghan refugees are still pretty religious and Utah continues to be a quirky compassionate red state.

To recap: Afghanis get own caliphate w/in US borders, Utah residents get Dem rule forced on them thanks to immigration, while Lefty dweeb gets to pretend he is the most caring carers ever while still firmly NIMBY/dumping this mess on 'deplorables'.

589 We could have wiped the Taliban out at any point. We had 1 meter grids on the entire Haquani Taliban leadership. We caught the same dopes over and over again and just released them 2 weeks later.

They were scrubs. If we were allowed to kill them we could have killed them.

The DC leadership chose this. They chose to not defeat the taliban. They held us back.

All of this "news" is garbage.

590 The Constitution is on life support now, give these fucks a few more years and the plug will have been pulled.

The more foreign born people we place in these positions, the less free speech we'll have. As Jen Rubin pointed out most countries are not as "allergic" to speech codes.

591 Air power alone does not subjugate a nation: that has been proved time and again. Conquest requires occupation. Can the CCP pull off a D-Day style operation across the straits? Has the CCP rotted out the Taiwanese underbelly the way that they've done so to the US?

592 I can feel the breathe of Com-Chi on the neck of the US.
I do believe they would like nothing else than to start a war against the US. They got what they needed from the Biden family and to Com-Chi the Biden family is now expendable. Nothing less than impeachment for Biden.

593 Daniel Greenfield's article on the Afghan debacle is the best I've read so far.

594 In the 1970s, a consortium of Israel, South Africa, and Taiwan had cruise missiles with "special weapon" warheads operational before the USAF did.

Obviously, South Africa is lost to that team; but I find it doubtful to assume either of the other two lost all their notes and prototypes...

596 You can't entirely blame "commie cadet" Spenser Rapone for being an asshole: I suspect he knows that his last name is Italian for 'big turnip'. (You can and should blame U. Texas for hiring him.)

597 We need to bring all troops home and close all bases in foreign countries as well as all Embassies. We can not take the chance that our military or State Department might be endangered in any foreign countries. We should also downsize ground, naval and air combat units and increase missile forces that will be used only from the United States.

598 Paragraph writing is also a fun, if you know after that you can write or else it is complicated to write.

Can you suggest a good web hosting provider at a fair price?
