Taliban are starting to release prisoners from Afghan prisons. New recruits by the thousands.
The politicians and US Generals have been lying about Afghanistan this entire time.
It's time they face harsh truth: they are complicit in the deaths of American troops.

The Afghanistan Collapse: Americans died for this?
Call it what it is: treason.
The failure in Afghanistan – 20 years, thousands of lives, trillions of dollars – should make Washington reconsider the rationale for going to war and remaining to nation build. (But it won't.)
There must be a rejection of foreign wars based on nebulous claims of “national interest” or “advancing democracy” or to advance a new social order. The answer of when to go to war and how to act during war are in the old texts (Augustine) and in the doctrine of just war, should one be curious to find them.

Regarding Afghanistan and beyond; I believe we have passed the point of salvation for our senior military leaders and politicians. We have allowed military and civilian lawyers (read rules of engagement restrictions) to become all powerful and our Generals (indecisive and risk averse) to become nothing more than career seeking politicians. Those are 2 big reasons we have continued to fight and lose wars (we are trained at participating in wars and untrained at winning wars since WWII). AFG is a sad situation, as were the kurds in Iraq, but at least Trump pushed our respect internationally (being tough and smart is better than being tough and stupid). Today I don't believe America is respected the way we were only a few short months ago. More countries visit China these days than come to the U.S. and China is prepped to recognize the Taliban once they declare the Islamic State simply to embarrass us. My sense is Taiwan is having some incredibly uncomfortable internal discussions (American apathy is likely starting to sink in). As are a lot of US allies in Europe. I also believe China is doing a lot of war gaming of costs and benefits currently with respect to the south China sea and Europe. We are now in a fully engaged information war. Soon it may be worse—I pray our senior military leadership is intensely planning all options—the best plan offers the most options at the last possible moment. So now we wait. Trust me, our enemies are not waiting. They plan and they don’t care about stupid mask policies or fake insurrection BS. Our enemies will be working on the next three vulnerabilities we haven't even thought about. I believe Russia and China are clear eyed on our corrupt political leadership that they and many other nations no longer respect nor fear. America will come back and soon but it will come at a cost. If the bureaucracy in WDC (esp., DOD, State and the IC) want to keep acting like utopian ideologues, we will lose, if you find your courage, we will win. I say step up, stand up and straighten up your backbones, demand far better from your leaders and let’s start winning again.

While Biden is in hiding, his press secretary is on vacation, and the Afghan army is no more... the Taliban are celebrating with bumper cars.
Israeli study demonstrates the diminishing effectiveness of the Pfizer COVID vaccine:
"The risk for breakthrough infection was significantly higher for early vaccines compared to those vaccinated later."
No surprise. They're in talks of the 3rd booster right now. In the years to come they'll be discussing the 10th and 20th booster...

Biden - at his COVID press conference - just announced he will use the Department of Education to go after states and governors who ban school mask mandates.

Why Pursuing A Secular Holy War Is Not Justified In Afghanistan
Through philosophical jujutsu, David French extends moral and legal imperatives for individuals and makes them an imperative for nation-states.
As a lawyer, let me provide further context on the purported "exoneration" by the US Capitol Police of Ashli Babbitt's killer:
The US Capitol Police is going to be facing a lawsuit very soon. The "exoneration" is in their financial self-interest. They will deny liability in the civil suit, so they had to do their own sham "investigation" to conclude their officer is blameless.

We did a deeper dive into the FDA "approval" of the Pfizer Vaccine.
Pfizer admitting the duration of protection is "unknown." Cherry-picked data. Tests on pregnant rats.

The Biden Administration chose the politics of mass evacuations over the security of US Troops.
They trusted a Taliban checkpoint to be the last line of defense.
And 13 US Troops paid the permanent price.

How political calculations led to the Kabul Bombing
The Biden Administration and the generals knew an attack was imminent.
And they decided that a Taliban checkpoint was good enough to protect the troops. A failure of judgment that cost lives and destroyed families. Heartbreaking and infuriating all at once.
