It what appears to be the Biden admin post September troop drawdown Afghan strategy ?
US Troops and their equipment are packing up….
Some additional troop’s maybe dispatched to the country also?
Sound confusing?
It IS….
President Biden is being walked thru this from ALL ends….
President Biden does NOT want troops stationed in the country …
The US Military, Intelligence Community and Congress are not happy with that….
So?
Standoff military assets ARE moving into place…
We have a Navy Aircraft Carrier and a few B-52 heavy bombers on the way to stand ready to work in Afghanistan….
It may make Biden happy. but in the long run it won’t stop the Taliban and alQeada from overrunning the country…
The Pentagon General’s are well aware of the failures of such military actions in the past…

Nothing will replace ‘boots on the ground’……
Something Biden inherited when he took the job….
We’ll see how this goes….

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Tuesday that President Biden’s plans to pull US forces from Afghanistan by Sept. 11 could lead to a civil war or another Taliban takeover.
“That is certainly a possible scenario,” the top US diplomat said on CNN, adding that “no one has an interest in renewed civil war in Afghanistan, certainly the Afghan people don’t.”
“Neither the Afghan government or the Taliban do, none of Afghanistan’s neighbors do, neighbors and other countries in the region that have basically been free riders for the last 20 years, as we’ve been engaged there with our NATO allies and partners,” Blinken told host Jake Tapper…..
