Taliban Variant Infects Afghanistan – Women and “minorities” Hit Hardest – Does Sleepy Joe Know?

The big news today is Joe Biden’s first real foreign policy “victory.” The Taliban quickly took control of Afghanistan, including whatever “toys” the US government handed out or had to abandon. It’s a nasty mess, and yet, Democrats don’t seem all that upset.

Actual armed insurgents entered a “capital,” and the Dems have nothing negative to say?

Have they called the FBI, or is that agency too busy, you know, doing other partisan political stuff? We know DHS has its hands full domestically (or so it seems), tracking and targeting people of faith and those who might feel bad about what happened on 9-11-2021 (irony alert!).

We can’t ask them why they (or their many divisions of experts and spooks) didn’t see this coming because that too would likely mark us as potential domestic terrorists.

How about taxpayer disbursements for gender studies? How many of those tens of millions did we send, and for what do you think the Taliban will use them?

Mandatory…Burqa’s, if I had to guess.

Joe Biden: C’mon, man – we’re out of Pakis – um – the middle of – what’s it – that place by the thing…

Mostly, yes. But is Afghanistan done with us?

The early narratives on this rapid and epic failure (we couldn’t even get all our people and toys out. It’s that bad) is that it’s Trump’s fault. Of course, it is. Trump made the Taliban wait. While he was president, they didn’t dare do all that much. The moment Biden stole the office, they mobilized a nationwide insurrection.

There’s that word again.

There are reports of Americans trapped in-country. I can’t speak to that, but given the speed of the conquest, it seems possible. We do know that any and every Afghan who helped the US is screwed. We didn’t scoop them all up and ferry them someplace less hostile and intolerant than Talibanistan.

Oh, yeah, that’s right.

The Taliban treat women like property and harbor and train global terrorists. A problem we could have addressed with surgical strikes, not invasions, but even Democrats applauded Obama’s surge in Afghanistan, complete with daisies in the rifles of our troops.

I know it’s not our job to police the world, and maybe China will find some time to be the next “superpower” bogged down in the Stan, but Trump at least had a plan.

This is Biden’s plan and not just for Afghanistan.
