Biden, Afghanistan and the dangerous stupidity of populism

[Metalmicky]

Anyone seeing the Biden address must be slightly worried...  I saw a nauseating, bumbling performance from a confused old man who was struggling to string words off the auto-cue together.  His attempt to compare his sons sad death from cancer to those blown to bits yesterday in Kabul was nonsensical and I doubt that he even understands what is going on, or is able to project any control on the situation. 

When he said "We'll hunt down those responsible for Kabul attacks"  I thought to myself.... now where have I heard that before....? 

It seems the one lesson we have yet to learn from history…............ is that we still don't learn from history.

It will be ver6 interesting to see how he will avenge the killings given they are all pulling out.

Drone attack takes out key Isis member

Reportedly took out 2 involved in planning the attack. Many many more to take their place of course. I’m hearing a unit of sas are remaining in a base on the Pakistan Afghan border to continue the eradication of is-k.
Keep giving them the good news boys.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.

Roy was sadly misunderstood

Afghanistan has been a US v Russia pawn for a long time.

Anyone read John Pilger's history lesson the other day?  I didn't realise just how modernised  and relatively progressive Afghanistan was in the 70s
