So, a lot of people gloating right now, but riddle me this, what were they supposed to do? Lean back and say "it's ok, you can kill thousands of people in NYC and other places for no reason at all and we will just let you do it, no repercussions what so ever"?
Running the taliban out of Afghanistan and killing Usama was the right thing to do, what was wrong was not going all in for a very long time. You can't change a society in 20 years, it take maybe 100 years.

The Taliban was largely irrelevant to us other than sheltering Al Quaeda (largely a US invention). Osama was eventually located in Pakistan (if the official story is true). All that was needed for the Taliban was to give them a swift kick in the pants and continue to do so on an as-needed basis. Once it was clear that Osama had made like a tree, we should have been out of there. Why we were farting around there for 20 years is beyond me (Oh wait, my cynicism is switched off).

Even OBL was killed in 2011 what US been doing there for another 10 years???  Now Biden said “ 'Nation building' never a #US goal in #Afghanistan, says Biden” then why US spent billions of dollars to train useless Afghan army. Where did the so called Afghan Air force go that have been in training for years?

[JayJuanGee]

I have a feeling it will still take at least 10 to 20 years, but if they can see it happening now, then can find ways to delay the inevitable, but they will try to delay it anyway.

I've been saying it's coming "sometime" for a while but now I feel it's imminent. What's going on in the US has all the elements of looting while the looting's good. The cracks have been showing for a while and BRICS haven't been idle. It's getting a bit far into this year but I think we could see something major within 12 months.

I agree with your idea about the ongoing looting of the desperate twats, Richy.. but imminent failure/Armageddon seems a wee bit of a road too far, at least from my perspective.

Well, it has 5 syllables.  Also, Argentina, Brazil, Panama and Paraguay have endorsed El Salvador's bitcoin manoeuvre and they're mostly South American.  Latin America has too many syllables.

You math and science peeps always screwing things up, including but not limited to haikus.

 

Homer always 10 steps ahead of you JJG

And indeed Latin was to long

Tell this turtle something that it does not already know?

This is all I. Preparation for 2024 election trump returns points out bidens fuckup and crushes out Afghan government.

Nah, Trump was never a war monger.

We (non-royal of course) need another term of Trump like we need another hole in our "collective" head.

I agree. Not Armageddon but failure to a degree. I don't think we'll go Venezuela bad but it's not going to be fun.

For certain people, those are acceptable terms.

OT: a strange thunderstorm yesterday in H-town. Lightning mostly at a very sharp angle, instead of usual where most lightning is typically close to the right angle.
Lost power for a while, but then some strange electrical event occurred.
Some bulbs, especially those that are 'new' (economical) type started glowing in red (not white or yellow) and several electrical outlets (I assume those with fuses) started a slight buzz (which I recorded) for a good 15-20 min, then stopped.

I am not an electrician, but what could have caused it? Some residual charge in the air? It was very weird, never seen/heard anything like that.

The whole point of the Afghanistan debacle was so I could spend 2 years there putting every single paycheck into Bitcoin. All so I could work to usher in a new world of liberty and peace.

The war was not for nothing.

Doha accords. Or:

Agreement for Bringing Peace to Afghanistan
between the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States
as a state and is known as the Taliban and the United States of America

I think Trump also threw in one of these to "seal the deal".



Fixed, no bewbs.

Edit: No, I think that's worse. Let's try again.

something like ball lightning? does weird stuff.. can travel along wires and is not always visible.

ive had my outlets sizzle during close (500 feet maybe) strikes that have taken out several tress along the edge of the lawn. now i have a whole house surge suppressor, wont tame a direct strike but hopefully will help.

Agreed.  Confirmed.    Blah blah blah..

Much more family-friendly, and worthy of a repostening.



Now, if those little baby bull BTCs could gravitate us a wwwwwwwweeeeeeeee bit MOAR closer to $49k, that should be a nice little set-up to get rid of the current poll, perhaps?
