[QUOTE=Niteluvr;5528052]Why didn't the US booby trap everything they couldn't take back home?[/QUOTE]The Biden administration deliberately did not destroy the military equipment left behind. Remember it was Biden who said it was the Taliban who was protecting us from isis as we left the airport. There are multiple videos of the Taliban using our Blackhawk helicopters to hang people from. The Biden administration also gave them lists so they were able to go door to door and hunt and execute people who worked for the United States. Even as I write this there are at least two planes in Afghanistan full of refugees and American citizens that the Taliban is refusing to allow to take off. Pudding brain disrespected our fallen soldiers. He is scum and anyone who still supports him is scum to.

[QUOTE=AaronHamlet;5529279]The graphic I posted was from the NY Times. IDK how they arrived at the numbers, but to claim the New York Times is pushing republican talking points to undercut Biden is foolish at best.

PRC already in country. They'll maintain what needs to be maintained.[/QUOTE]Its going to be interesting. The Taliban took over the airport and were dismayed to find the approach radar had been destroyed. Its not a matter of fixing it. It will have to be replaced.

As to the other equipment, no-one knows for sure how much of it is either operable or fixable. My guess is most of it is not. If we had the time / desire to eliminate the airport radar, my guess would be that we also did so for any other remaining major weapons. The Chinese will come in and fix what they can, which I suspect is very little. If they really want something badly, they will have to develop software or manufacture parts to do so, which will take some time.

Any loss is bad, but in my opinion our losses will not have a big impact.

How do you know this? Not saying it's not true just curious how you know or what the source of this info is.

Biden administration continues to be consistent with their BS, and more and more people are saying enough. Soon Sleepy Joe will run this entire ship aground, and his own party will be calling for his head. Meanwhile, Kamala continues to be in absentia so she can wash her hands of the debacle and claim innocence, although somehow I don't think that's going to fly, and everyone knows it.

Not Booby Trap but thermo grenades to utterly destroy them is what should have happened.

[QUOTE=ILuvEmall;5529700] FDA officials resigning over COVID politicization [/QUOTE]Bad headline. The top two FDA officials in charge of vaccine research and review are resigning in protest of Biden admin politicizing the FDA and not following the science. If same happened under Orangeman, he'd be impeached, faggot newscasters on TV would be 'weeping for our democracy,' 'experts' would be warning to stay away from Trump vaccine and this would dominate the news cycle.

Listen to what the simulation directs you to do. Go get your third experimental non-vaccine vaccine shots and boosters you stupid fucking sheeple. Don't think for yourselves. Don't do your own research. Don't pay any attention to the two top doctors at FDA with a combined 65 years of experience in vaccine research and review who resigned in protest.

[QUOTE=ILuvEmall;5528946]The ignorance below is astounding. You're the one arguring the facts as stated in the source. And don't even try to get on your self-righteous high horse with me, and play your bullshit selfishness card, because it's not going to work. These vaccines do nothing to stop the spread, and this administration has been forced to admit that the vaccinated carry titres as high or higher than the unvaccinated.

This dumbass administration is responsible for spreading Covid around the country by telling their lies and letting people believe their fake vaccines were providing any kind of immunity, knowing full well the whole time that was pure bullshit. Rather than tell the truth, they chose to lie in order to push the vaccines, telling people if they got the vaccines, their lives could return to normal- go back to large crowds, no masking, etc. Even now, after knowing how suscepitble the vaccinated are to the Delta variant, they continue to discriminate against the unvaccinated saying that if you're vaccinated, you don't need to get tested or isolate after known exposure to Covid, but if you're unvaccinated you do. Total stupidity! So stop with your selfishness bullshit, because none of this has been about protecting others or following the science, it's been about an agenda, and a terribly misguided one. Here's a good example of how effective your vaccines are, with Cornell's Covid cases 5 times higher than a year ago, despite it's 95% vaccination rate:

[URL]https://www.thecollegefix.com/despite-95-vaccination-rate-cornell-today-has-five-times-more-covid-cases-than-it-did-this-time-last-year/[/URL]

America's bright young students are starting to wake up to the farce and the lies, and question this joke of an administration, which is now at its lowest approval rating ever, and not just over Afghanistan.

Your total ignorance on Ivermectin is also on display. Ivermectin has been used on humans for decades you ignorant fool, is in fact a Nobel prize-winning drug with multiple known and proven healthcare benefits for humans, and is used for Covid in more than 50 countries worldwide currently. You lack any kind of critical thinking skills, and can only mindlessly parrot what your dumbass administration tells you.[/QUOTE]So the response to the cherrypicked source of Israel failing to cater to one's claims is to. Not address it, not acknowledge it, then shift to an even more cherrypicked source of literally some college campus. This is literally just Gibraltar all over again. Which speaking of Gibraltar recorded over a 1,000 new cases in the 2021 summer wave but just 3 deaths. Almost like the vaccines worked or something. Has Cornell had anyone die? Has Cornell had anyone vaccinated die?

If you want actual comprehensive data, from July 12th through August 12th we've had 1,374 fully vaccinated Americans die

[URL]https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/health-departments/breakthrough-cases.html[/URL]

but 29,520 unvaccinated Americans have.

Vaccinated in the USA account for less than 5% of fatalities despite being over 50%+ of the population. But you don't acknowledge that, or for that matter the opinion of every national government, the consensus of the scientific community, countless studies, etc etc. You will literally accept only sources that provide the data that aligns with your views, then drop them the second they don't, like you did the Israel figures.

Ivermectin is used in humans for exactly the same reasons its used in animals, to treat infections caused by parasites like tapeworms. It is not approved for use against Covid-19, and the study investigating the possibility got thrown out for serious issues.

[URL]https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02081-w[/URL]

This has led people to grab Ivermectin intended for animals with dosage levels for animals significantly larger than people... something that is dangerous to do even for 100% working and pertinent medication, and has led to hospitals being overwhelmed with people who've poisoned themselves with it.

[URL]https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/sep/04/oklahoma-doctor-ivermectin-covid-coronavirus[/URL]

Developing nations have resorted to unproven treatments like Ivermectin because they lack access to the life-saving vaccines that anti-vaxxers in developed nations refuse when available freely until it rots on the shelves, so they're trying anything with even a chance of possibly helping.

There is no logic to reject a scientist and doctor approved medical treatment with no serious side effects over one that is not approved by them and has sent many folks to the hospital, other than a pathological rejection of establishment authorities and experts in favor of anti-establishment grifters and their enablers.

I didn't cherry pick anything and I didn't drop anything- you did because you didn't like the numbers. Pretty much all the data from the Israel and the UK contradicts the data coming from the lying mouthpieces here. You don't like the numbers there? That's your problem, you contest it with them. They're well laid out and self-explanatory, and even a mindless idiot like you should be able to do the calculations from the information given. I'm not going to do all your homework for you.

It's clear the vaccines have fogged your brain, because I've never contested the symptomatic effectiveness of the vaccines (and even stated so in my original post), even though that's what your whole diatribe below is about. Sympomatic effectiveness is not the bill of goods / lies that these vaccines have been sold on, and not the basis on which they're trying to get their mandates in place. There is no possible justification for forced vaccination for employment on that basis, and they know it, so they lie about it and say it's about the spread of the disease. That's a non-starter, and all the data shows that.

My post was about using risk-assessment and common sense to make decisions about vaccinations instead of a one-size-fits-all approach that only mindless idiots like this administration and its minions incapable of their own thoughts would advocate. Real Scientists would be breaking these groups down into those with high-risk conditions and obesity, which are clearly skewing the stats, instead of trying to push this on 12-year olds. And regarding those stats by the way, maybe there wouldn't be nearly so many deaths if suppression of education and other useful medications weren't being so heavily censored by this administration in order to push their vaccines down everyones throats. How many lives do you think that has cost? Yes, they are accountable for that. Trump was no spring chicken, and he was up and about within a few days of being hospitalized. Why aren't those kind of treatments, along with Ivermectin, being more heavily used and talked about? It's clear why, unless you just don't want to see. Oh yeah, just to be fair, let's not leave out the 7200 reported deaths from the vaccines from the VAERS reports. I'm sure you'll dispute those, but if you want to go down that path, there are plenty who will claim those reports only represent 1-10% of the actual number.

Once again, regarding Ivermectin, your ignorance is on display. You cite one study that has been called into question, but there have been dozens of studies done on Ivermectin showing conclusive results, including this study done in Israel:

[URL]https://www.jpost.com/health-science/israeli-scientist-says-covid-19-could-be-treated-for-under-1day-675612[/URL]

Funny you should mention grifters. You will note his comments on the conflict of interest that no one is going to make money off ivermectin as a successful treatment for COVID. It should also be noted that NIH is a patent holder on the Moderna vaccine, so has an obvious conflict of interest as well. The grifters are the ones pushing the vaccines and the boosters on kids and otherwise perfectly healthy people with statistically near-zero risk from Covid.

About the dosage levels, you once again speak from a position of ignorance. The recommended dosage level for livestock and humans is exactly the same at 0.2 mg / kg. You are again mindlessly parroting what you're told to believe, instead of thinking for yourself. You want to know why people are turning to these kind of solutions? Because they've been lied to so many times, and they know it, and this administration has lost the trust of the people. That's why. They've been told they're too stupid to think for themselves, and they're not allowed to have informative, educational discussion, and that the administration will decide what they're allowed to see and hear, and what's good for you, and you will accept it and like it. Well guess what, they don't like it, and they're not accepting it, and it's showing up in the approval ratings.

The fact that we are signatories gives us the responsibility to adhere to it. In DESERT STORM, especially when over downtown Baghdad, you did not drop your bombs unless you were 100% sure of the target and that the pathway to the target was free of clouds so that the bomb would guide properly. You did not just drop anywhere, even though you were under constant and heavy AAA fire.
