I've been through the desert
On a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert, you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

The first Flashman novel has our anti-hero as part of the Brits fleeing Afganistan in 1842 after a negotiated agreement for peaceful withdrawal. As a column of 4500 soldiers and 12,000 civilians, including women and children, marched out, the Afghans killed them all except for a literal handful. One Brit and a few sepoys. Flashie was disguised as a sepoy.
Afghanistan hasn't changed much since 1842, comparatively.

Did something this morning I have never done before, unless the book in question was too ruined or soiled to keep. I threw a new book in the trash.
I mentioned on yesterday's thread I'd bought, sight unseen, the book American Empires from a cataglo, thinking it would be a nice history of the first hundred years of independence. Within five pages, the author was whining about "white supremacy," so I tossed the thing away. Twenty-odd bucks down the drain.

No, it doesn't. You set yourself up for it when you start that way. I understand that we can all have bad days or several days at work, but what are the positives in it.
1. You're making money which you need.
2 I assume in some way you're serving others who need help in something.3. How can you bless somebody today by what you do?4. You don't like the job but it's where you are now so what do you gain from being negative about it?
I suggest reading "The Power of the Presence of God" by Brother Lawrence who was a 17th century French monk (The book is in English though) He was a menial lay brother in a French monastery. He said that we can pick up a straw if we do it for love of God and neighbor. It's a meditative book and he was a nice man, just as are also a nice man.

The movie, "Khartoum" used to contain a brief scene where the jihadis are parking around with the severed head of General "Chinese" Gordon.
However, Our Betters had that scene removed as too insensitive many years ago. *shakes fist* History! That Horrible insensitive , bitch!!!! She'll get her's some day!
I suggest this painting be censored as well. Perhaps with a big black "X" obscuring Gordon.

Now to the painting, which is exquisitely rendered. Her use of dusty earth tones dominate everything. Nothing is bright it all blends as if the area had consumed the man and his horse, even the fort in the background. The way she shows the rider's posture, reeling from exhaustion and grimly holding on is mirrored in the horse's posture.
The environment has subsumed it all. The trooper has gone half native in his clothes just to survive that far. The bright red of an English soldier is gone. He doesn't even have the will to protest fate.
I don't know how this work would have been regarded by the Victorian audience but it expresses the absolute defeat of Empire. It is so powerful an image and so well done (what talent she had!!) I can imagine viewers standing in front of it in admiration for the artist's ability and horror at the actual scene.

European Union and U.K. leaders have voiced their criticism of how U.S. President Joe Biden handled America's withdrawal from Afghanistan, a stark difference from the praises they gave at the beginning of his presidency. -"We lived a little bit the great illusion," said French Parliamentarian Nathalie Loiseau. "We thought America was back, while in fact, America withdraws." -"To see their commander-in-chief call into question the courage of men I fought with, to claim that they ran, is shameful," Tugendhat said. -Chris Bryant, from the opposition Labour Party, called Biden's remarks about Afghan soldiers, "some of the most shameful comments ever from an American president." Soeder said Washington should provide funding and shelter to people fleeing Afghanistan, since "the United States of America bear the main responsibility for the current situation."
"The people had a glimpse of a better life -- but that has been torn away." The we thought America was back statement is a joke. 1, it was back under Trump, and 2, what do they mean by that exactly? We police world?

They've been playing that card for a long time, usually - but not exclusively - when a weak Democrat is in power.

Today Joe DiGenova was on the radio yelling about the fact that this guy's name is known, its in the Congressional record, that all the news media know the name, that it was reported by Paul Sperry on July 9. That the name is known by one of the Babbitt family attorneys who would be filing suit against him.

Wearing a T-shirt that says "Jesus died for me? What an idiot!" doesn't send the message the wearer thinks it does. The wearer thinks it insults Jesus, but what it says is "I'm a worthless piece of trash and thus Jesus would be stupid to die for someone as awful as me." It's like telling someone "How could you possibly love a POS like me?"

If there is any evidence - and I doubt there is, at least none that can be found - that the fucked up withdrawal was deliberate, then this might be true. If it was not intentional and planned but instead was the consequence of mendacity and incompetence, then it isn't treason - and impeachment and removal is probably the technically correct answer.
The treason is supplying weapons and other material to the enemy. Sorry, thought that to be so obvious that I didn't have to point it out.

That's not enough, I don't think. Intent counts. If you foul up a supply line and accidentally send arms to the enemy, you're grossly incompetent and you're going to be court martialed and imprisoned, but you probably didn't commit treason.
This withdrawal is catastrophically fucked up and everything has been done wrong. If they didn't intend to arm the enemy, then treason is probably a hard case.

No. He was given accolades and honors for doing his duty and surviving the epic run to the fort, which he did without rest, evading pursuit, at the cost of his horse.

Logan's Run is a good watch, if only because the actors bring their A game to the movie. The movie is most noteworthy as being a counter-argument to the viewpoint of the Flower Children by taking their wishes and following them to some authoritarian conclusions. This being 2021, I think the Leftard chimps typing furiously away will notably miss the point.

The reason he failed to finish it is the set up was that Reinhard Heydrich would take over from the Fuhrer when Hitler died (which is reasonable - if he hadn't been killed in Czechoslovakia and if Germany had won the War, it is not an unlikely outcome). The ascension of Heydrich was to be the precipitating event that opened war between Germany and Japan in North America. Dick commented that he every time he tried to get into Heydrich's psyche, it was so terrifying that he had to stop or go insane, and so he changed all those books to other stories.

that thumb down drama epitomizes the GOPe's constant pivots to "the conservative case for communism". (which is really more, tyranny by oligarch's who own the political class).
Should I be rooting for the Western leaning oligarchs to defeat the more "Eastern" versions (like China?) ... or all they all just murderous scum that are running criminal enterprises? idk

Team Trump had a plan for the exit. The Biden Gang rejected it as Trumpian, and took months to come up with their own. This delay ran into the dictate that the military exit had to be done on a fixed schedule so that Biden could have his Mission Accomplished Moment, civilans be damned.

I've never been a big fan of Dick's work outside the short story form. high Castle has a great concept and some wonderful details, but I can't recall it well, which suggests that it is not as vivid and memorable as Larry Niven's early stuff, or Heinlein's.

The Afghan military was paid off by the Tollybahn once The Big Guy announced he was breaking the deals Trump had negotiated with them. They considered it a deep betrayal by DC. Join the club.
=======
I'm with Ian here. The Afghanis are closer to our earlier generations than Joe Hiden. They are simple men, with a simple outlook on life. A deal is a deal, and will be followed through on after being agreed upon. The current U.S. President broke the deal that another U.S. President had made, but it was still the deal. Taliban said "Deal is off? No phased retreat for you!" The Afghan National Army said "Deal is off? We're not dying for nothing." Meanwhile the Leftards in D.C. who never had to make and uphold a deal are clueless about the consequences of breaking said deal.

As for the FDA approval for the clot shot, here's the counter argument (besides just saying, Fuck you, that's why):
The FDA approves a lot of drugs that are found to be unsafe and pulled from use. Here's a short list:
(fucking pixy won't let me post the drugs. looks like spam)
This is just from memory and a quick google search. There have been plenty of others. Besides, we all knew that FDA approval was a fore-gone conclusion. Ain't no way, no how, one phoney-baloney government agency was going to contradict another.

Here's the options.
1. There was a quick but effective plan to replace OMB's plan put in front of Hiden, because dammit all he's still POTUS. He refused it and said "Just get the military out of there." He's still POTUS....
2. There never was any decision made. The attention to the Taliban offensive was less then the attention paid to Watch On The Rhine. Surprise!!! They've been reacting instead of acting ever since.
3. The PRC called in some markers. Their Manchurian Candidate in the White House followed through. "If it succeeds, none dare to call it treason."
4. The hardcore Obummer anti-West people told Hiden it was for the best if Amerikkkan colonialist imperialist racist etc ambitions were destroyed once and for all. America is good and divided now!

On 20 August 2021, the U.S. Department of State released a fact sheet announcing Russian firearms and ammunition importation will be banned for a minimum of 12 months starting 7 September 2021.
That will teach those naughty Russkis... just like the League of Nations banning the sale of donkeys to Italy after their invasion of Ethiopia.
Century Arms' Red Army Standard ammunition line is mostly made outside of Russia. Ukraine, Bosnia, Poland, Rumania.
If the Ukrainians are smart, they'll start running extra shifts or pulling old stocks of ammo from warehouses to take advantage of the situation.
