Thoughts

 What is a little hard to understand is how many people are conned by the lies and alternate reality being pushed on right wing news.  

We would have seen an unprecedented event if the commenters were dealing with reality the reinstatement of a defeated President.  Of course it didn't happen at least not here.

It sort of happened in Afghanistan where after 20 years and billions of dollars we saw how dedicated people can easily beat what are essentially mercenaries.

I'm sure the right wing will want to blame Biden and the democrats but whether their sheep will believe it is na open question.

What is not going to happen is the rise of an Islamic Caliphate.

Some analysis is comparing the withdrawal from Iraq with Afghanistan.

The difference is that in Afghanistan we have an armed group that has its own agenda while in Iraq we had more of these semi mercenaries who flee at danger.

The willingness to fight and possibly die requires that you believe in your cause.  

Without that it is just a bunch of armed dilettantes.

There is no power vacuum in Afghanistan.
