“Botched Withdrawal”? Ms. Flavin is either unwilling or unable to look at the unvarnished truth of the matter, which is that the disaster of the pullout was planned happen that way.
I do not know if she is old-enough to recall the equally-ignominious U.S. withdrawal from Saigon, South Vietnam, in 1975 – but the Nixon administration had negotiated “peace with honor” in the Paris Peace Talks of 1973 by promising U.S. aid if there should be further communist aggression against the South. A promise a Democrat-controlled U.S. Congress reneged upon in an utter betrayal of our former South Vietnamese allies.
Democrats stabbing the nation and an ally in the back, then just as now. The Democrats so despise the United States that they are willing to condemn innocent people to death, hardship and suffering in the name of political expediency and partisanship.
It gets worse: If the abandonment of our forces and former allies was treacherous – what do we then call the gifting of hundreds of billions of dollars of our finest military weapons and technology to our former enemies? Thanks to Biden and company, the Taliban now have access to our latest imaging technologies – such as NVGs and IR gear – and through them, undoubtedly the Iranians, Chinese and who knows who else?
Fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, APCs, small arms, vehicles, etc. – the Christmas list gifted to the enemy was so extensive it seemed endless. Sort of like the capacity of the communists/Democrats to commit treason….
“Has Islam Really Improved the Lot of Women?”
In a weird kind of way – Islam is not delusional about the genders but it stops at the basics – men are stronger, so men rule over women. But many men are raised by those same women. This creates circles of vindictiveness, I am sure there is a real war of the sexes going on in Islam, behind the scenes, also…
But in a weird kind of way – Islam is still not delusional. Like some other ideologies…
The Progresives tried to invert the natural order in the west as if now we are all equal, but we ended up with uchained hypergamy, where few atractive men have sex with most women, and the women still desire them, because rich Sultan is desirable to women even though he has 1000 concubines. But then there are the poor working slaves, utterly unatractive to the female gender… It’s a whole different gender dynamics – we are not in Kansas anymore.
But for this unchained love Islam came well prepared. Thousands of years of experience, Islam rides the wave of natural instincts of men and women.
This problem cannot be solved unless men and women rise above their beastly nature, and keep “higher purpose thinking”, pretty much like Christianity teaches, IMHO.
Recognize the differences between the genders, but use them – not abuse them, like Islam does. Islam very cleverly plays the tune of natural instincts, but not always on the “loving side”. Jesus “let him who has no sin throw the first stone” – is not really Islamic doctrine.
