If China goes in there... they will succeed.

Politicians control our wars with 3-6 year election cycles. China? Doesn't have to care.

China has facial recognition, emotion tracking, and outright concentration camps, aka "re-education camps" for undesirable muslims inside their own country (Uyghurs).

They don't have protestors, liberals, hippies, or anyone at all to answer to. They don't have rules of engagement like we do. They would fight a total fucking war, and then it's pretty hard to foment underground resistance from inside the walls of a Chinese concentration camp, who doesn't believe you are entitled to any rights, unalienable or not. It's also pretty hard to be motivated to resist when they haul your family off for it. They either would be reeducated, or they all will be executed. And it is IMPOSSIBLE to hide with the technology and net they deploy.

We can laugh at their movie trailers - cause we do make much better in Hollywood.

China though, knows how to control people with a fist of AR-500 steel. If they start pushing into neighboring countries then we may as well bend over and turn over the keys of the world to China, they will clean out places like Afganistan and have fresh territory for resources and future chinese settlement. Whoever used to be there will be a subchapter in our history books, not theirs....

that was one of the factors to their advantage.
They most likely not need to worry about human rights. They would not care if it is Karzai or Taliban. They will do business regardless of human rights.

Main obstacles I see so far is topo/terrain and some logistics.

And ultimately the crew will be blamed for this. And some dipshit politician will engage in knee-jerk reactivity and issue some bullshit directive that will require the flight crew to physically check the landing gear for obstructions or some shit before it can be retracted.

Fucking insanity...but that's what'll become of this.

Aaannnnd.... it's started....
Air Force Reviewing Fatal Incident at Kabul Airport Where Crowd Rushed a C-17

Afghanistan doesn't have an Air Force. I can guarantee you there are strategic bombers ready and loaded to be sent to Afghanistan. The US can bomb the Taliban into submission. That was the plan for Tehran if they did not release the hostages at the Embassy. They were going to flatten every building around the US Embassy. A B-52 can carry 70,000 lbs of ordnance.
I'm sure if POTUS is advised by the JCS to do this, he will.

Do you really think General Mark "I'm Biden's #1 Fan and Useful Idiot" Milley would even consider such a thing? If so, you aren't in touch with reality.

[Eric P]

This is all a planned distraction while the senate and house reconcile "infrastructure" bills to completely transform this country's economy and social structure.

Just look how this far more important issue to Americans has vanished from the news.

After the international outrage, I bet the US allies and us waste more resources and Desert Storm the taliban out of existence. While congress furthers the destruction of capitalism. And they will increase majorities at midterm as usually happens to wartime parties.

And I can't give anymore fucks for this shithole than thier own citizens do. 20 years, a whole generation, to build a national defense force with modern arms. But a bunch cavemen come and the drop arms and run. Why should we fight for them?

Do you really think General Mark "I'm Biden's #1 Fan and Useful Idiot" Milley would even consider such a thing? If so, you aren't in touch with reality.

Exactly. Milley said "But none of us had ANY idea that the Taliban would takeover. We were caught off guard."

Really dude?!?!?! You stand on live TV and tell the world the best military on the planet was caught off guard that easy? What a clown! Tons of people said the Taliban would takeover that fast! You were just too busy commanding woke training to listen!

That guy is going to say "bomb them ALL"? No he's not.

Then Sec Def Austin tells the world the US Military "doest have the capability" to save American citizens! W.T.F. First of all, if you dumbass woke sissies did this right in the first place, we wouldn't have this problem. Second, our military damn sure can save American people if you clowns step aside and let them do what they do best. At least until the new generation of woke trained, 50 gender he/she's become the majority when all the real men and women leave the service.

This is BS.

[Bailey Guns]

^^ Exactly. Milley is a pussy.

You guarantee this? With the same crowd who thought paama boy was a good marketing icon?

The US can bomb the Taliban into submission.

Can. That is far from will.

That was the plan for Tehran if they did not release the hostages at the Embassy. They were going to flatten every building around the US Embassy.

I'm sure it was offered as a possible course of action. I'm equally sure it was rejected out of hand by Jimmy "stern letter of protest" Carter.

I'm sure if POTUS is advised by the JCS to do this, he will.

I'm sure the current SecDef and CJCS would never advise him to do anything like this. I'm also sure he wouldn't even if advised to do so. I don't know why you think "Mumbles" Biden would ever make a decision like that after he just blamed intelligence for the whole fiasco. He talks a good game for the TB cameras but he'd have had skid marks if Trump had ever offered to let him try to make good on his boasts about slugging DJT.

I guess his lack of a Sig pop-gun on his belt is supposed to send some sort of a message?

[FoxtArt]

Blowing up a child or fifty doesn't help re-election campaigns. America hasn't fought a total war since 1865.

"No man left behind" is a U.S. propaganda slogan that is frankly quite untrue.

[Ah Pook]

Looks like the Taliban is adopting the Dems protocol. It they make a statement you can bet the opposite is true.
