An Afghan for Thursday

Baaah...We awake sore and groggy. Another rough night. 

This blog calls on the Taliban to respect women's and LBGT rights in Afghanistan. Don't laugh. We said don't laugh.

How many of the Afghan refugees and so-called refugees do we take in? We've got to take some but not....oh who the hell are we kidding? This is going to be like the Mariel Boatlift. Another Biden disaster is in the offing. Via Instapundit, enjoy this tale of Afghan refugees in Germany...As for the solutions offered at the end of the article, yeah sure.

We are told there's already a resistance forming in the Panjshir Valley in eastern Afghanistan. It's led by Ahmed Massoud, son of Ahmed Shah Massoud, our main ally in the 80's.  Do we help? Looking at the map, we're not sure how. But why not, right? We have written about this. This is our base for World War 1990: Operation Tet.

Speaking of the Russians and Afghanistan, here's our latest collusion: 'On 8 July president Biden assured the press, ‘The likelihood there’s going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely.’ Later that month, General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff declared, ‘The Afghan Security Forces have the capacity to sufficiently fight and defend their country, and we will continue to support the Afghan Security Forces where necessary in accordance with the guidance from the president and the secretary of defense.’ Last Thursday American intelligence officials warned that Kabul could fall within 60-90 days. It took the Taliban less than a week to roll into Kabul.' Click on through to Kabul/Moscow nexus. 

What Will's Watching, Star Trek Voyager-Season 1.  We haven't watched Voyager since the 90's and stopped watching several seasons before the finale. Till this day we have no idea how Voyager ends. We'll go into more detail in other posts, but 15 episodes in Voyager pleasantly surprises us. Here's why Voyager works. Unlike TNG there's no kinks to work out. Everyone already knows what works and what doesn't. This is a series in top form from the get-go. Also, we think we like Voyager now because, frankly, we're 48 not 24. Lemme put it this way. In 1996 we though Janeway was gross. Not so much now. 3/4
