Former US intelligence colleagues are angry and deeply worried at what has happened in Afghanistan.
Here's what I'm hearing, and why there's nearly universal belief that America and the world are in for one of the most dangerous, unpredictable times in modern history.

He isn't just a fear monger, he's a pretty unimaginative one too. I won't accuse anyone of being a shill (this accusation gets thrown around so frequently it has lost its meaning), so I'll just keep to the crap he wrote...
Yeah it's nothing but feckless slippery slope fallacies, one after the other, to the point of being humorous. I'll pick just a few bellow.
TACTICAL WEAPONRY IN THE HANDS OF THE TALIBAN ooohhh are you shaking yet? A ton of rifles, and some ground vehicles and that's it. What fucking tactical weaponry you retard? No drones, no planes or helis, no nothing - even if there were any left behind (hint- there aren't), the goatfuckers wouln't know how to pilot them. They'll be swapping their AK47s for US-made rifles and that's it. That's literally it. "Tactical weaponry awash in Afghanistan" lmfao
The fact they CHOSE to leave that godforsaken hellhole behind AND CHOSE to help US forces against fellow natives during the occupation should tell you all you need to know about whether or not they hold western-tolerant values. Kabul was the most westernized city in that shitstain. Those thousands of afghans fleeing the Taliban like it was the black plague? Most are more grateful and more respectful of american values and the american flag than a lot of the knee bending pink hair soyboys and blue hair dykes we have around here, and the self-aggrandizing politicians and journalists. You fucking bet that crying afghan baby will one day make a better patriot than 99% snowflakes I see around town.
As for the "Which party will they support?"... you have to be kidding me right? At this day and age? Elections stolen and all? Spare me.
These are just two examples, but I could go on and on. His arguments are nothing but slippery slopes of the most lazy kind I've seen lately. Each inane blackpill building frm the previous one with ever more ridiculous claims.
Excellent!
They have helicopters, aircraft and a few drones. Theres a pic with at least 5 scan eagles, which cost $4M a piece.
You have to understand the ANA's defection was complete and utter. Entire pilots and crews just outright defected to the Taliban.
Also, the Taliban apparantly are sitting on $10B in cash, which should finance operations for a bit, especially if Iran, Pakistan or China were to provide a bit of maintenance.
That stuff requires constant neverending check-ups and upkeep. It will all break within a month or two, three at best. The ANA wasn't taught how to do any of that, US military made sure of that. That's why it's nothing but fearmongering crap.
Not when you purchase the support for it from Chynah!
Lol that dude plays too much Call of Duty.
I wonder if its the new stealth blackhawks. Yes there are stealth Blackhawks and the first publicized use of them was for the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden.
That stuff requires constant neverending check-ups and upkeep. It will all break within a month or two, three at best. The ANA wasn't taught how to do any of that, US military made sure of that.

We did not supply the Afghan army with our newest models. It's mostly old stuff. Russia and China got their hands on them a long time ago. There's nothing to reverse engineer. They neither want nor need American military equipment, they got high tech stuff of their own.
That's why it's nothing but fearmongering crap.
They did get a ton of stuff like rifles and ground vehicles. None of which make a difference on a larger scope. For instance the ANA got no air force.
Yep. And a spook.
But would you say that the writing there doesn't make sense? Care to share your counter points?
