"We'Re NoT tHe WoRlD's PoLiCe!!!111!!"

Well then enjoy China and/or Russia filling the role.

Funny thing is that's the same line the anti-war left used during the Bush years to oppose Afghanistan and Iraq and yet it's now a vocal sentiment in "Conservative" circles. So many on the right have been coopted into adopting leftist positions and they don't even realize it.

I like the idea of a “peace through strength” American hegemony.

A world where jihadi or militant communists looked to the sky fearfully, worried about a drone strike would be a better place.

The Taliban thanks America for $64million as part of $1.2BILLION international aid package but says the US should 'have a heart' as it pleads for more



The Taliban has thanked the world for pledging more than a billion dollars in emergency aid to Afghanistan, and urged the US to show 'heart' by donating more.

Amir Khan Muttaqi, the regime's acting foreign minister, told a press conference the hardline Islamist group would spend donor money wisely and use it to alleviate poverty.

He was speaking a day after the United Nations said a total of $1.2billion in aid had been pledged to Afghanistan, $64million of which came from the US.

I'm not necessarily opposed to that.

I think people that say colonialism is bad wrongly assume all cultures are good/equal. Just look at the state of every non-Western/Commonwealth former British colony today. There's a pretty good case to be made most all of them are worse off after the British withdrew.

We and the rest of the Commonwealth nations didn't have that issue because we all shared a common culture.

Now to clarify, I'm not advocating invading every nation that doesn't fall in line with us but, where it makes strategic sense, a lasting presence wouldn't be a bad thing. I've said it before but, we invaded and beat Iraq then gave it all up. Rather than sitting and relying on unreliable alliances in Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE to base our regional assets, Iraq should have been turned into our client state from which to project power in the region. It had a number of excellent attributes namely ports, a somewhat developed infrastructure, a number of suitable existing military bases/airfields, and oil.

Anyone else remember when they were pretending they knew exactly who they killed, that it was a "righteous shoot" of a really bad terrorist, and they just couldn't tell us because of operational security reasons?

I remember.  It was only a few weeks ago.

But I guess remembering things is a double-plus un-good wrongthink.

IF True, this is Treason by a 4-Star General
IF True, this is a hanging offense. No General who would do this would deserve the honor of a firing squad. But a public hanging.

The question now: IS this true?

If this is true. If Milley conspired with CCP. And this can be proven. Milley should be hanged.

First question: IS this true?

IF this is true. The time has come. Start making examples of Generals and Admirals of commit felonies and treason.

Pentagon admits Biden drone strike in Kabul DID kill seven children, aid worker and two other adults: General McKenzie says there was NO suicide bomber in the car and apologizes



The Pentagon has revealed the August 29 drone strike on an ISIS-K operative actually killed an aid worker and 9 members of his family, including 7 children.

Head of US Central Command Frank McKenzie admitted the strike was a 'mistake' while addressing reporters Friday and said 'unlikely that the vehicle & those that died were associated w/ISIS-K or a direct threat to U.S. forces.'

'It was a mistake and I offer my sincere apology,' McKenzie said.

What's kind of ironic is that the Soviet military was always regarded as highly rigid, inflexible, and slow to react for having an officer corps incapable of independent action and thought since they were all afraid of ending up in a gulag for having acted contrary to "the interests of the state" or embarrassing the state somehow. On the other hand the US military had an officer corps regarded as more capable of independent thought, problem solving, and boldness so was capable of being faster to react and adjust to conditions.
