Well, the Us Armed forces just retaliated with a drone attack and took out a leader.

Anyone want to bet the people at the airport and gonna pay the price?

Not a “leader”, the person was a “planner”. But still glad he was taken out.

Pretty impressive that the drone was apparently flown to Afghanistan & back from the UAE. I guess that's our closest base now.

Pounding sand with $1M drones... like the old days with Obama at the helm.

Looks like some Alpha males stepped up and did a rogue operation to get a few hundred Americans and allies in from outside the airport.

True believers in the no one left behind mentally knowing Aug 31st is drawing close.

Even the 'boots on the ground' are calling out senior leadership!

The Marine battalion commander in Afghanistan just called out the Marine commandant, generals and the joint chiefs.

Talk about sticking up for your principals!

Does the leader or planner have a name? Why did they mention no civilians
Were killed? Probably blew up a sheep herder in the middle of the desert.

Heres another story cover the special ops vet doing the extraction code named "Pineapple Express"

Appears to be a group of vets privately funded who went out to get people they had contact with and moved them through Kabul to the airport at night.

Operatives turned the evacuees over to the military at the airport for a flight out.

Not sure how these guys got in but that's a detail they might want to keep under cover if they are doing more missions like this.

Nigel Farage, former Brexit party leader, slammed the Biden administration’s Afghanistan blunder Tuesday, arguing the crisis has led his country of Britain feeling "betrayed."

Under Biden, Farage told "Fox & Friends First" that "there is no way a British parliament right now would vote for military cooperation with America."

"Biased reporting is all you folks read?"

So the biased liberal media which is your "credible sources" wont be covering any of this shit because the optics are bad for those in the WH.

They will instead focus on the 'immediate and forceful' drone strike which 'took out it's intended target's of god knows what.

Still no action by this administration to go beyond the perimeter of Kabul airport by our military as Aug 31 draws close.

'Why are we so in love with endless wars? We cannot seem to let this one go.'

On this one? Probably because extricating ourselves from it has become such a CLUSTER FUCK!

Endless wars?

The Iraq conflict is over.

Afghan mission should have been to keep a base of operations there to safeguard our interests in the area, keep the fight of potential enemies in their backyard, and have a base for further missions into regions like China, Russia and other challengers to our interests. We should not have left until the place was stable. Now we look weak and incompetent and other international interests may be challenged openly.

If we invaded Grenada again right now
It's a two-fer

#1. It would replace Afghanistan in the headlines
#2. We might have a 50/50 chance of winning.

Assuming Biden doesn't fuck it up, somehow.
