Crackpot realism

This is written by son of Ahmad Massoud, who was anti-Soviet military leader in Afghanistan. He lived in London in the 2010s and attended Royal Military Academy.

CIA backed his father, something his son (and the Post) omit. And now he wants to lead the resistance to Taliban

(((Pessimists))) see the end of a War For The Jews as a Holocaust-level tragedy, while optimists see it as a new chance for personal grifting.

"AFGHANISTAN: Examining the Myths, the Lies and the Legends ~ Andre Vltchek".  "Escobar: How Russia-China Are Stage-Managing The Taliban".

Milley comes immediately to mind:

Why isn't anyone in the Biden administration resigning over what happened at the airport in Kabul? If this was South Korea people would be resigning out of a sense of duty or guilt.

Chaos in the WH, in-fighting, fingers pointed everywhere, knives out. Like Game of Thrones meets Veep but written by non-binary TikTok influencers

"What We Need to Do Post-Afghanistan, but Won’t" (Robinson).  Some background on General 'Uninformed' Vance.  To be fair to him, the entire senior male management of the Canadian military consists of serial rapists, so he fits right in.

"Lebanon Is under Maximum Pressure, and the Target Is Hezbollah: Iran Sends Its Support" (Magnier).

Jonah Goldberg, best known for starting the Iraq War, openly hates everyone https://t.co/XzUmgexKoE

"Attempts Continue to Remove Socialist President Pedro Castillo in Peru" (Azikiwe).

The heretical comment in question was him criticizing military violence during the civil war with SL. Proving once again that the state doesn't control the military in Latin America, it's the other way round.

Turning the story on its head:  "Prominent Leftist Publication Collapses Amid Power Struggle" (Striker).

Wild extension of 'cultural appropriation', which may be the single dumbest idea in wokenness (and that is saying something!) (I like 'cry-bully strategy', the spirit of the age):

This is the cry-bully strategy popular in parts of the left. Smear someone online w/ an absurd and hateful identity-based attack, hoping to cancel them. The public reacts poorly to it. Then cry victim & demand money because people criticized your bullying. https://t.co/LbV4s8oFWZ

I could've sworn the editors of The Atlantic (David Frum & Jeffrey Goldberg) started these wars.

Wars For The Yous, goyim.

At the beginning of this year, every press freedom and human rights group in the world that matters called for Biden to drop the charges against Assange. Instead, his Justice Department just doubled down on persecuting him.

Now you know why: https://t.co/67e1YX0qVs

Wars For The Jews lovers are throwing around the sum of $1 trillion as the cost of this one, peanuts really. Can you imagine what kind of paradise the country would be with $6.4 trillion?  Don't think about it too much - you wouldn't want to become an 'anti-Semite':

The US government's internal oversight office, SIGAR, admits, "all war-related costs for U.S. efforts in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan over the last two decades are estimated to be $6.4 trillion."
