US Joe Biden News Megathread - The Other Biden Derangement Syndrome Thread (with a side order of Fauci Derangement Syndrome)

Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if the Cabal came out and claimed that Trump actually orchestrated election fraud to get Biden into office, to ensure Biden took the fall for everything that he'd set up.

lol there’s not a chance in hell. Not anymore, anyway.

 

[PFM]

I also dislike how many people are going “WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE THERE FOR ANOTHER 20 YEARS?”

No, moron, the point is that there was a plan in play to not only make sure all civilians make it back safely, but to also make sure all of our expensive military gadgets don’t get spirited away.

This is intentional. Even Biden's first appearance since this whole mess he was straw manning that argument, as if people are begging for us to stay.

Bahrain and Quatar transferring,
Question about failure of not enough consuls- complicated process to process.
We often have the best data when it comes to citizens in Afghanistan.
Taliban have told us they have no intention to impede our actions, sporadic reports. We will impress it upon Taliban. Other countries say it. Severe consequences.
(To be a fly on the wall in one of those calls)
Afghan airport must remain accessible to commercial flights. These are the words of Taliban we take them for what they are, Blue passport.
Part of this is where the international community will stand to punish the Taliban. (g7, EU allies)
Biden supposed to meet with G7. Hold off funding for COVID? Women, girl and minorities must be protected. FPL list?
Stick and a carrot. (You mean like paying them just like Obama did?) (I swear if I hear more about "at risk" Afghans)
Constructive internal dissent is welcome! Makes us more effective.
When we took office not a single SIV interview when they took charge in March, but says they processed started this month. Muh COVID, blame Trump.
Call centers around the world brought online to help SIV applicants.
NGO report provided to UN. Last month. Strongly worded condemnation of atrocities. We will them!
No quick punishment. Swift response!

This puppet is irritating.

Kill yourself.

Are you a meat head? A military family or something like that? Great respect is owed to a warrior class who protects their country or people, but what if the country isn't theirs, their people being replaced? Not just racially, but ideologically, morally, spiritually. What honor is there in fighting for leaders who have none?

Not a big guy? Is this feelings for countrymen? What countrymen? We have increasingly less in common that's worth a damn, and the people who are over there are of the sorts that helped bring all this about. I'm not sure how many more chances to figure out what effect they're really having they deserve.

I can't imagine anyone being fucking stupid enough to keep on riden' with biden after this omnishamble and response. Quite honestly I'm drawing a blank on anything in the post 9/11 world that is on scale with this big a fuck up in a presidential administration.

Tangentially related Biden's admin is banning russian ammo imports for minimum of a year https://www.state.gov/fact-sheet-un...-russia-for-the-poisoning-of-aleksey-navalny/


EDIT: I'm reading that this does one of two things in regards to importers 1. Defacto bans all imports from russian ammo plants 2. bans all new importer companies from importing from russia AND will fuck Tula et all when they have to renew their license (who knows when that is, every year? I don't know when you have to renew your import FFL papers).
As some people are saying each shipment requires a "license" request form in addition to their FFL importer license but others are saying it doesn't. I'm too retarded to figure it out but thought it was worth pointing out.

Has the US military high command become so pozzed a random General thinks he can tell an SAS commander he has zero authority over what to do

Edit: Imagine to damage the poltical choices from D.C are doing to the crediabilty and morale of the elite US troops right now

 

[jje100010001]

Why the fuck would they give a shit about what the American Public thinks? They can just wheel out some more suitcases and ensure dominion voting machines vote the "correct" way.

Dominion is useful for smaller elections (i.e. local, state), and close elections where a few decimals can be nudged; any more and you start raising eyebrows.

Even though I still think Dominion's use will continue to be refined over the next few elections, its use in the 2020 elections already significantly damaged public perception of federal elections.

Not every single person who went over there is necessarily compliant in nation-building blood-for-money shenanigans. Some people just went because it was either ordered or because it was the best way forward in life that they could envisage for themselves and possibly their family. Tarring every american citizen out of thousands stuck in Shifting Sand Land with the same brush befitting the kinds of assholes who ensured their presence there was even a consideration in the first place is not only unjust but autistic.

Perhaps - as is the new lingo for this age-old insult nowadays - consider touching grass and interacting with people in a way that doesn't involve a keyboard and a monitor.

US general tells British special forces: Stop rescuing people in Kabu…

US general tells British special forces: Stop rescuing people in Kabul, you're making us look bad​

I understand that the commanding general of the 82nd Airborne Division has told the commander of the British special forces at the Kabul airport to cease operations beyond the airport perimeter.
Maj. Gen. Christopher Donahue has told his British Army counterpart, a high-ranking field-grade officer of the British army's 22nd Special Air Service Regiment, that British operations were embarrassing the United States military in the absence of similar U.S. military operations. I understand that the British officer firmly rejected the request.

This show of rare tension between the U.S. and British command groups in Kabul reflects three factors.
First, it shows the obvious stress of attempting to extricate thousands of personnel under a situation of increasing terrorist threat. Elements of the Haqqani network, the Islamic State in Afghanistan, and possibly al Qaeda are now operating in proximity to Kabul airport with some degree of command separation from the Taliban.
In addition, the British military has more operational latitude in Kabul than the U.S. military, including the Navy SEAL elements present at the airport. I understand that the SAS has conducted operations to bring American citizens, as well as British citizens and at-risk personnel, through checkpoints and to the airport. This is not an indictment on U.S. capabilities or special operations intent, but rather, it's a reflection of political-military authorities. In part, this difference is understandable. Large-scale U.S. military operations beyond the Kabul airport perimeter would entail significant risk absent prior Taliban approval. But there is a sense, at least by allies, that the U.S. military could be doing more to leverage the Taliban into providing greater ease of access to the airport for those most at risk.
A bureaucratic tug of war between the State Department, Pentagon, and White House is also disrupting evacuation operations out of Kabul. This is aggravating British, French, and other Kabul-present military authorities. I understand that these governments have been further aggravated by the failure of the White House and Pentagon to communicate adequately, or in some cases, to communicate at all, on their intentions and actions. All these allies admit, however, that only the U.S. military could provide the airfield defense and air traffic control capabilities now on display.
Still, as I noted on Wednesday , the Biden administration's conduct of the Afghanistan withdrawal has raised deep concerns by allies as to the administration's credibility and confidence. Speaking on the condition of anonymity, allied officials reemphasized this concern to me on Friday.

I am so fucking embarrassed

These are linked events. Biden admin has been waging a "soft" war against gun owners since he took office. Removing one of the few remaining types of ammo that is readily available is just his version of keeping it up while he tries to figure out how to get his glowing gun czar through.

Maybe I'm naive but I am starting to wonder, just why the fuck aren't the Republicans making more of an issue of this? I realize that due to the separation of powers of government the dems simply have the majority, but for fucks sake, goddamnit. This isn't even a matter of political points anymore, it's not "wow Biden really fucked this up." American citizens - in addition to the Afghans, but as cold as it may seem, more importantly - American. Citizens. are going to die brutally as a result of this, and our military is being ordered to hold a fucking airport.

Even if this is some corrupt uber lizardman plot to take over shit from Biden and his party etc, even if this was some master chess plan from China to make us fall, whatever conspiracies may be valid... What the actual FUCK? Is there really not a single goddamn person in any form of command with any men who will follow him, that is willing to say "you know what? Fuck this. We swore an oath to the constitution and to defend american lives, not follow orders from suits" and join the Brits in making runs to save our people? I don't just want the Democrats to burn for this, I want every fucking politician in Washington, every suit and tie piece of shit high command in the military who is standing around with their thumbs up their asses, to be brought up on charges of dereliction of duty. Every single American life lost in this shit should be another life sentence tacked onto every goddamn one of them while they sit in Florence Colorado staring at concrete.

Optimist opinion: They (Republicans)don't have to stop their enemies from making mistakes
Pessimist and likely the real answers: They lost whatever balls and spines they showed at times under Trump

They haven't had balls and spines for years. The only reason they showed some was because Trump was popular in their base. The second he was gone it was back to controlled opposition business as usual. Just the way they like it.

This is going to fuck up the ammo market even more than it already is. Russian ammo brands have been some of the only brands available in my local area.

Prices on ammoseek are already up by like 10% from last week the panic is already setting in. I was just getting happy with the ammo pricing slowly going down.
