I’m posting this not because I’m necessarily endorsing it — though there are sections I wholeheartedly agree with — but because IT’S NEWS.
From Bryan Dean Wright, ex- US intelligence officer. And I quote:
- Former US intelligence colleagues are angry and deeply worried at what has happened in Afghanistan. Here’s what I’m hearing, and why there’s nearly universal belief that America and the world are in for one of the most dangerous, unpredictable times in modern history.
- Afghanistan has shown the world — enemies & allies alike — that our military & intel assets are largely irrelevant because we can’t deploy them successfully. The blame lays at the feet of multiple Presidents. The Generals. The Spies. The Congress. America’s Elites are trash.
- China knows it. They will become emboldened, covertly & overtly. War over Taiwan and contested islands in the S. China Sea and E. China Sea is now more likely. Russia will consider similar covert & overt moves, focused on Crimea, & former Soviet satellites.
TUDOR PLACE: The US isn’t going to war on ANYONE’S behalf except POSSIBLY a NATO ally.
