Mark Milley is a skilled political operator. But he’s not as skilled as he thinks. Milley’s actions in the final year of the Trump Administration and his recent testimony undermining President Joe Biden’s Afghanistan exit have now created the context necessary for Milley to be removed by Biden without much fuss from the press.

America Has Lost the Global War on Terrorism
Brandon J. Weichert with some sobering truth about the Global War on Terror.
The Eurasian Steel Trap is Closing
Writing in Real Clear World, Brandon J. Weichert argues that, “rapidly over the whole of Eurasia as the Americans flee from Afghanistan, are a steel trap. They will ensnare all peoples unfortunate enough to find themselves living within reach of the ideological fangs of these Eurasian autocrats. With the disastrous end of America’s quixotic mission to turn Afghanistan into Arizona, China and Russia are now using Afghanistan as a highway to expand their power beyond their territories—just as these powers did until 600 years ago, when China’s Silk Road was the primary trading route linking Asia with the Middle East and Europe.”
Unpacking Biden’s Staggering Lies on Afghanistan
We take a look at a few of the bold lies that President Joe Biden told the American people in his incoherent address to the nation.

America has ended its quixotic mission to civilize Afghanistan in failure. It has left citizens and billions of dollars of military equipment behind as the final flight departed from the Kabul Airport. This is a catastrophic failure of the Biden Administration, the US military leadership, the greedy US defense contractors, the sclerotic intel services, and the overall bipartisan elite who purport to rule us.

The Taliban Played Biden Bigly
The Taliban handed over security for much of the airport in Kabul to the Haqqani Network, an ally of both the Taliban and IS-K in Afghanistan. That’s why there are 13 dead Americans today…and it’s another indication of how badly President Biden got played by the Taliban.
Americans Will Be Left Behind
Americans will be left behind because of the Biden Administration’s incompetence.
I’m With Stupid: How America’s Elite Betrayed the US and Inspired Our Enemies
America’s enemies (and allies) have long assumed that, because we’re the lone Superpower, we were governed by evil geniuses. They are now realizing, in fact, we are government by idiots. While it’s nice to be loved it’s good to be feared. Nothing good comes from being deemed big and dumb…which China, Russia, Iran, and our other rivals now do, thanks to the horrible debacle in Afghanistan.
Are Taliban Planning to Massacre Americans?
In his most recent op-ed for The Asia Times, Brandon J. Weichert describes his fears that the Taliban might be plotting a bloody farewell to the American withdrawal, which is not going well already.
