If they are doing this covertly, they would publicly deny it.

Basement Biden only does scripted Q&A

I dare his handlers to let him to do a Trump style off the cuff Q&A
Biden is totally unqualified to be president.

We knew this before the election.

That's actually worse. In the case you didn't see this coming that is one form of failure. In the case you DID see it coming and prepared for it and this was the result, well, that's an entirely different level of failure.

Biden is finished. He has become too much of a liability to the Democrats. They are getting ready to cut him loose. I gotta give him credit. He lasted a lot longer than I thought he would.


They said the exact same sht about trump
Winning by cheating is just as impressive as winning fairly, probably even more so. Your opponent was better than you in every way, and you beat them with your brain.

After watching today, for the first time ever, it is looking to me like Biden has lost the media. Not only is the honeymoon over, but they have ripped the sheets. It is about time!

As you know, Pashtun -- who comprise most of Taliban -- have many cultural fighting habits. One is to pursue fleeing enemies. Like Border Collies. Have you ever had a Border Collie? They chase what flees. Including you.

Pashtun will not stop fighting us so long as we are there. These guys giving briefings talking about negotiating with Taliban are either dumber than oysters or lying like starfish. Pashtun-Taliban see us fleeing. They are chase-o-holics. It's probably hardly within their realm of Will to resist chasing us.
There is another cultural habit of swarming. Many cultures do this. We see it during flatscreen riots in America, only the people doing flatscreen riots are less civilized than Taliban. Some cultures swarm more than others.

When I was in Mindanao, Philippines, Green Berets and SEALs told me about local swarming habits. Called pentacaso or something like that. Cockfight. And so, if you get into a firefight, every farmer and villager within earshot drops what they are doing and runs to the fight. Showing up with whatever they have, often planning to find weapons on arrival.

This is very dangerous for defenders on islands. The swarm will surround you and keep adding to the swarm and either push you to the sea or cause you to use all your ammo and then cut off your head. So either you must break contact quickly, before the swarm forms, or reinforce.

You can bet your last dollar that right now many men from Pashtun villages around Afghanistan have been emptying out to join the fight.

The longer this takes, the more likely we will see suicide attacks and all sorts of other increasingly heavy fighting as the swarm builds.

So you are saying Biden is wrong and all the Afghan army didn't run hide and quit like cowards, even though the air support they badly needed for success was pulled out from under them.

As evidenced my my aunts post, even his most staunch supporters don't have anything good to say.

Rather than marking the eclipse of American power, withdrawal from Vietnam in fact coincided with its spectacular increase. Within another decade of the fall of Saigon the United States was on the verge of winning the Cold War without firing a shot and would go on to assume such a preponderant position in global politics that comparisons to the Pax Britannica of the 19th century or even the Roman Empire at its height seemed reasonable. Defeat in Vietnam did not end the American Century but further extended it into the new millennium.

What explains this? The Cold War was not won or lost in the rice paddies of Vietnam or the jungles of Africa; rather the key to victory was the successful defense of the most developed areas of the world. During the Cold War, the global balance of power between the Communist East and the capitalist West hinged upon three vital areas of the world. These included the economic powerhouses of Western Europe and Northeast Asia along with the Persian Gulf, home to one of the largest global reserves of oil which fueled and lubricated those economies.

If Biden says anything it will be the opposite.

Tangentially related to this comment and my reply earlier: reports of a new attack by a muslim extremist group today, aimed at Chinese personnel in Pakistan.

It is may be easier for US citizens to get to a remote pick up point than it is to get to the airport. So hope to see more of this.

To all of our friends schlepping for Biden and talking about how horrible Trump is, go pound sand. He's as bad or worse than Trump and you look like an ass defending him
