Knowing that Tucker Carlson has long supported the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, I would like to know how he will deal with Joe Biden’s disastrous efforts to achieve this goal.But as RedState’s streiff thought yesterday, The problem is not the desire to quit. On the contrary, how badly prepared the government is to implement a seemingly non-existent plan to leave this war-torn country.
The decision of the Afghan Air Force to ground the air, abandon the main allied airfield in Bagram, and it was too late for the security forces to redeploy to Kabul, lacking expectations of what would happen. All of this, 100%, is avoidable, and all of this is caused by the incompetence of the Biden White House, the State Department and the Department of Defense.
Regarding Afghanistan, there are many accusations that are going to spread everywhere. But the past 72 hours was done by one person: Joe Biden. Before attacking him next, he needs to take responsibility in this world.
Back to Carlson, he lashed out at Joe Biden and the mediocrities around him in the air last night.Including Hillary Clinton alumnus Jack Sullivan, who further Embarrassed myself yesterdayAnd Antony Blinken, a shampoo model who appears to be Secretary of State.
We are truly led by the worst.
Carlson began his criticism with fragments of the now iconic scene at Kabul Airport, where a C-17 plane crossed a crowded runway, and people clung to it to survive (some people fell and died as a result). Leaving aside the failures of the past 20 years, the final moments of the war in Afghanistan ended with our firm political and military leadership experts unable to even clear a runway for an orderly retreat.
And Carlson’s main point- We are led by the clown.
John Kirby and Mark Milly played the first round in the forest shed. Carlson pointed out that what our military has been focusing on for the past ten years or so is absolutely stupid. We have generals who are more worried about “white anger” and people who do not want to wear masks than jihadists.
But the real bright spot was the resignation of Jack Sullivan. Carlson quipped that Sullivan was “44 years old this year, and as far as we know, he has never actually had a real job.” On the contrary, Sullivan is part of a disturbing trend in Washington that is highly educated. Ignorance is placed high. We saw this in Ben Rhodes under Barack Obama, who may be the most disastrous national security adviser in modern history.
Biden did not learn from this mistake, but instead hired Sullivan as his national security adviser, whose only claim to fame was that he worked for Hillary Clinton. In a sane world, this is not a resume generator, but a disqualification. Carlson then criticized Anthony Brinken, calling him “such a mediocre person, when you hear him speak, you will take a breath.”
Later, Carlson launched his broader criticism, which I think is very important. Our so-called intellectual arrogance among the experts continues to lead to failure, not only in Afghanistan, but also in other countries. Part of the reason for these failures is an attempt to impose social engineering on people who are basically not interested in social engineering on a global scale. A master’s degree in gender studies and a parliamentary mandatory gender quota may dissatisfy university professors in California, but in Afghanistan, these actions caused rebellion and pushed people back into the arms of the Taliban.
These are things that a clear-headed leader should anticipate and deal with. On the contrary, we treat Afghanistan like San Francisco, and the results are predictable. As Carlson said in his monologue, “The whole point of our Empire project is to give the empty lives of the neoliberal bureaucrats who manage it, and then enrich the contractors who work for them.”
Finally, Carlson hunts down those who have helped propagate and promote the war in Afghanistan for 20 years. These people are now changing directions and trying to take the moral high ground on the refugee issue. Although I noticed last night that some people on the right were upset about Carlson’s comments, I think they missed the point. The question is not whether we should accept Afghan refugees who promise to pass safely (as translators, special forces, intelligence agencies, etc.). The question is why we continue to tolerate the leaders who caused these conditions in the first place, and then return to lazy solutions that only give shelter to everyone.
As Carlson pointed out, those who brought us disaster in Afghanistan now want to rush to play a leading role on refugee issues. However, none of these people should escape their guilt so easily.
This is the real point. We are led by idiots, they promote one thing, watch it collapse, and then rush to lead the next thing. This is a numbing cycle of incompetence, and the American people would better reject it in the future.
