When you consider that all of this was designed to install president Kamala Harris without her ever having to run for president, it all begins to make sense. I'll bet @NOTW feels pretty stupid now.

His rapier wit, long list of accomplishments. Joe isn't senile in the least bit. No sirree!! You look at that guy and all you can see is a two term president!!! What a leader!!! Not so fast. We knew all roads lead to Kamala from the start. It makes sense... if you think about it.

September 1, 20214 yr 38 minutes ago, Procus said: You're so right. How could I ever overlook everything Kamala brought to the ticket. Her charisma, her outstanding achievements, her grace under pressure. She really enhanced that ticket. Without Kamala, Biden wouldn't be where he is today. If she wins, everyone gets Kamala cookies. (insert: giving out her cookies is how she got ahead in the first place joke)

September 1, 20214 yr Any military guys or mechanics know how about how many hours those rotary aircraft are gonna be able to be flown without parts, etc?

There has to be someone in the background telling them they’re allowed to do it. Or… just maybe… someone there doesn’t like freedom of the press being halted.

Most the aircraft are simple trophies for the taliban and have limited to no use; other than mi17s which they have experience with and easier to get parts. Maintaining them will render them useless, just look at the struggles a far more developed country like Iran has had with the F14 stockpile they have. The main concerns are the ground capabilities that have significantly improved. I don't see them invading any time soon, it will be the local residents that will be suppressed.

There is significant concern that the weapons will wind up in the hands of the Russians and Chinese. Even if though don't reverse engineer (they likely will), they can examine various attributes and vulnerabilities.

Even if though don't reverse engineer (they likely will), they can examine various attributes and vulnerabilities. The US would not have given the Afghan army equipment of any interest that could possibly get into the hands of China and Russia, simply because they are not a reliable partner. It is extremely hard, expensive and time consuming to reverse engineer that sort of thing and in this case most likely pointless old tech that those countries don't require. I don't know about the drones as lynched1 mentions or the NV tech etc, but the rest of it is pretty useless and of no interest. The Chinese and Russia likely have access to all these air-frames already (the Blackhawk has been around for over 50 years), so sourcing their vulnerabilities has been conducted long long ago. As I mentioned previously the Iranians who are far better developed had 79 F14-Tomcats, of which 24 are still operational as they can't keep up with the maintenance required and need to butcher other planes to keep those 24 alift. The other thing with these air frames to be useful is they require many many man hours to learn how to use them, of which requires vast amounts of maintenance. Again an issue Iran has with the Tomcats.

September 2, 20214 yr Who's ready to impeach Biden over his phone call? Also, where is the heroic patriot who leaked the call? We need to celebrate this individual, get him/her on all the morning shows asap

We need to celebrate this individual, get him/her on all the morning shows asap First you have to point out what was criminal about the content of the phone call? Good luck with that. See most normal people realize that having a phone call with another leader isn't impeachable. It is only when you try and shake them down to do your political dirty work, in exchange for releasing money that was already authorized by Congress.

Lol I love the staunch defense of Biden doing exactly what you accused Trump of doing Except with Biden it was even worse because the Afghan president's country was under invasion at the time, and the only thing that could possibly stop it was US military intervention. Dennis Reynolds himself would be impressed by the "implication" of what Biden was doing by asking the Afghan president to be Baghdad Bob so Biden didn't have to take a political hit and pretend to care that he was getting people killed.
