The Battle of Waterloo in 1815, was the end of the line for Napoleon Bonaparte. All of Napoleon dreams, went right out the window with that historic defeat. The surrender and retreat at Kabul, will spell the same fate for Joseph Biden. He will not survive this (politically). Not by a little, by a lot. He will go down in history, as being the Commander-in-Chief of one of the most colossal military blunders in world history. He somehow turned 20 years of valor in Afghanistan, into us leaving bloodied, wounded, and humiliated.
I could say this all happened because Biden was an idiot, but that goes without saying. So I won't say it. But I will say this - it was his stubborn pride, and his visceral hatred for Donald Trump which caused this mess. This led to the deaths of thirteen brave service men and women as we were trying to escape from Kabul.
There was so much at stake in Afghanistan. So much blood and treasure this county has spent over the past 20 years. We have now ceded the country of Afghanistan to groups of blood thirsty savages. Savages which will subjugate the women in Afghanistan to a less than human status. Young girls, being forced to be "comfort brides" to dirty old men. Christians, being hunted down and killed - some burned alive. And our remaining American citizens who could not escape - now are hostages, to ensure the US would never again bomb the savages for their misdeeds.
Not to get materialistic, but there was another cost in the way this was handled. Because Biden does not understand money (especially taxpayer money), we left billions of dollars worth of equipment for the Taliban to use and abuse. How much so? Here is just a partial list:
- 2,000 Armored vehicles
- 45 Blackhawk helicopters
- 50 Scout attack copters
- 4 C-130 transport planes
- Scan Eagle military drones
- 600,000 small arms
- 20,000 grenades
- 2,500 bombs
- Millions of rounds of all kinds of ammo
