Biden's Biggest Blunder

Quote: rxwine

Eh, when's the last time you complained that muslim refugees weren't flown into this country? I'll tell you, NEVER.

Who is talking about refugees? I am talking about what hypocrites liberals in the USA are. When it was Bush they didn't care a thing about the Kurds. When Trump wanted to get us out of a war it was KURDSKURDSKURDSKURDS!

Kind of sickening.

"Both Moscow and Beijing have no illusions that the West is already deploying Hybrid War tactics to discredit and destabilize a government that isn’t even formed and hasn’t even started working. No wonder Chinese media is describing Washington as a “strategic rogue.”

What matters is that Russia-China are way ahead of the curve, cultivating parallel inside tracks of diplomatic dialogue with the Taliban. It’s always crucial to remember that Russia harbors 20 million Muslims, and China at least 35 million. These will be called to support the immense project of Afghan reconstruction – and full Eurasia reintegration. >>

What this means in practice is China will be a partner of Afghanistan on infrastructure investment, via Pakistan,">> Pepe Escobar

Let them have at it. Hopefully the muslims in China and Russia decide it is time to get rowdy.

There's always hypocrisy one one side or the other of the political spectrum. I note it, but I don't pretend it only ever exists on one side. So, don't get too sick about it unless you're sick about hypocrisy on both sides of aisle.

China is a bigger devil than the USA to Islam.

Quote:

As of 2019, it was estimated that Chinese authorities may have detained up to 1.5 million people, mostly Uyghurs but also including Kazakhs, Kyrgyz and other ethnic Turkic Muslims, Christians as well as some foreign citizens such as Kazakhstanis, who are being held in these secretive internment camps which are located .

Russia may do better, or at least could do better this time around.

Quote:

Muslims are treated in Russia with all due respect, Ramadan is certainly not an excuse to not show up for work, but neither is the Russian Orthodox Lent, Russia’s a country where religion doesn’t intefere with the secular life. Otherwise, in Moscow streets are blocked on prayer days when Muslims come to their mosques. There are also cases of Russians turning to Islam and becoming Muslims too.

I don't know as much about Russia.

But, in China that is highly unlikely. China has Muslims on strict surveillance, to a 1984 extent. If they quit smoking (or start smoking) they know about it (along with many other behavioral indicators that could show a level of devotion). There would need to be some top level espionage to get away with something in China (especially as a member of a watched community so to speak).

Life in China is basically living in one of the top security casinos in the country (they know exactly where you are, what you are doing, what you like to drink eat, smoke, if you visit a place you often do not, etc.....) Life for Muslims in China is like trying to AP at a top-security (for lack of a better word) casino...

If you think America has too much surveillance (it does not, not even compared to Europe....) you should see what China does.... Basically anywhere in public you are being watched (and judged for every little social indicator), anything you do electronically is probably being monitored or at least recorded... They even have what is called (at least by the West) a "social credit score" where you are rated based on actions (not even criminal), but social actions like smoking in a nonsmoking area, not holding the door for an elderly person, littering, etc.... and you can gain points by doing positive things (picking up litter, retuning a wallet to somebody who drops it, etc...) It basically forces people to not just be honest but courteous or else you can lose points (and if you go too low you can lose rights, even the right to travel).

Psssssst, dementia joe bidumb it was only 2 days ago

Feeble minded fool created two humanitarian crises in only seven months.

Not his biggest blunder. The economy and the border melt down are worse.

Taliban going door to door searching for Westerners and blocking access to the airport, as an estimated 10,000 Americans remain stranded in Afghanistan.

Military weapons, equipment and computers, left behind will end up being examined and back engineered by Russians, Chinese and Iranians.

Feb. 2020, Taliban killed two Americans. Trump retaliated with heavy bombing. No Americans killed since then.

Trump threatens the Taliban leader:

“Your village, where I know you are, and where you have everybody, that’s going to be the point at which the first bomb is dropped.”

The Joint Chiefs Chairman says despite multiple news reports about prior intelligence about a rapid collapse, there was no intelligence of a rapid collapse in the short timeframe it happened, and he already testified under oath to that.

So is anyone willing to testify under oath that there was?

Jack Keane called what was going to happen on June 25th, see video upthread, so was he the only one who knew?

I do have some sympathy for Biden to the degree that he was just getting bad advice and bad intelligence. You have to figure he would have done things differently if there was a *consensus* that this instant Afghan collapse was at all likely. On the other hand, you have to wonder to what degree it was Biden and his advisors ignoring those who did see it coming.

Biden's whole philosophy is "figure out what Trump would have done then do the opposite."

Because of how the left blamed Trump for "not stopping the china virus" Biden will take the full weight of these disasters. I will give no consideration that is for sure. And the lefties will cry about it same as they cried about it when we said that since they did not care about Clinton's personal behavior we would not care about Trump's.

I predicted at the election that Biden would be a very weak leader similar to Jimmy Carter with similar results. The last 30 days or so we are seeing that the liberal media is having a hard time propping him up. Kamala has been a total disaster so no matter what the USA is really screwed.

Perhaps this wakes the public up to what happens when you put liberal Democrats in charge of anything. The USA is becoming Detroit.

If Biden’s two biggest blunders are the roaring economy (seriously?! lol) and a border “crisis” only Fox News viewers care about, he’s doing a damn fine job!
