Today, our southern border is wide open, with hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens crossing it every month. Our infection rates in the current crazy are going up, thanks a great deal to the unpoked and infected illegal aliens being sent all over the country. Intelligence now suggests that China was to blame for the whole thing. Energy and fuel costs are higher, and pipelines all over the nation have been shut down or threatened. Our economy is sliding towards stagflation, unemployment is twitching, and everything is on edge. Those who protest election fraud have been banned from social media, or jailed in solitary confinement for months, but the FBI reports there was no Insurrection. Russia is building a new pipeline with Biden’s approval. And Afghanistan is collapsing back to Taliban rule due to the worst military pullout since Saigon. What a difference seven months makes.

In January of this year, our southern border was secure with a great deal of substandard fencing being replaced with modern border walls. Our infection rates in the current crazy were going down thanks to Operation Warp Speed’s bouncing little bundle of joy. Those who blamed China for it were silenced on social media. Energy and fuel costs were low, and we were building a major new pipeline. Our economy was booming and unemployment rates were sinking. Republicans were protesting election fraud and Democrats were calling them Insurrectionists. Russia wasn’t building a new pipeline into Europe because we vetoed it. Afghanistan was mostly stable with minimal terror attacks. What a difference seven months makes.

So reports are that the Taliban is stopping people from going to the airport if they want to. Checkpoints. Random attacks. Some people getting kidnapped on the road. And there are thousands of Americans there. The British and French are going in and removing their people with special forces. Other reports are that the Taliban got the government records and are tracking down people who worked with us to kill them and their families. Women are handing their babies over barbed wire fences to get them out of the region. Things are getting worse each day, while Biden and his tame media are doing their best to tell us exactly the opposite.

In a hypothetical situation, where I was in charge of withdrawing from Afghanistan, I would continue to give the Afghan army air support. I would maintain the Afghan air force, in facilities guarded by our people, so they could continue to support the Afghan army. I would support the Afghan military so they could maintain security. I would maintain enough force in the area to destroy any threat to Afghan territorial control. COUGHTALIBANCOUGH. I would withdraw our civilians and friends first, then pull our equipment out. Our military would come out last. I certainly would never pull our military out first. I wouldn’t cut the Afghan army off at the knees by taking away their air support. I wouldn’t go on vacation when the Taliban surprised absolutely NOBODY and went on the offense. And I would stay there until everybody who wanted out go out before I pulled our military out.

Like most Americans, I am in favor of leaving Afghanistan. We should not have stayed as long as we did. We should have supported the Northern Alliance against the Taliban twenty years ago, destroyed Al-Qaeda, and left no more than a residual or support force there. Like we do with the Kurds in Iraq. Give them air support from secure bases, but let the locals fight in and for their own country. It is their land to hold and defend, not ours. I’m perfectly fine with us keeping small forces in the area, inside secure bases, helping the locals when they want help, but we should not have large scale armies taking the region over. The fact is that there are good ways and bad ways to reduce or remove our presence. The plan we see in action now is not one of the better ones, if you wish to support a peaceful region.
