George Rebane
Diplomacy unsupported by the threat of force is nothing but duplicitous hot air.
Has Kabul fallen? For all intents and purposes the answer is yes. How else to explain all those towelheads carrying their AKs and RPGs, casually walking the streets of that city of six million, while thousands are desperately trying to get on a flight out from the airport’s military side still under American control? Last we looked, the Afghani ‘security forces’ who had yet to flee were still wearing their uniforms.
Our display of existential historical ignorance is on parade. Even backwoods snuffies like me have known for decades that Afghanistan is not a ‘country’, but a region of ethnically and culturally similar tribes of the mostly fanatically devout and concomitantly ignorant Muslims. As recounted here numberless times and echoed by RR’s commentariat, attempting to deal with that region as a unified sovereign nation-state has been a fool’s errand, as history confirms. The only time Afghanis unite and cooperate is when they fight to expel foreigners from their sandbox. All foreign policies should start recognizing those truths.
Re Afghanistan as the on-again, off-again home of international terrorists. Years ago Rebane Doctrine called for no nation-building, no long-term boots on the ground, but the use of our vaunted over-the-horizon military capability to whomp terrorist hotbeds as they arise in the region. We should deal with the terrorists from the air or at most with expeditionary raids – go in quickly, kill and destroy, and extract quickly. This is a policy that we should already be or become very good at, and apply worldwide against anyone who represents a clear and present danger to our nation. It has worked in the past, and it will work again. And the response of the international community to such a clear and consistent policy would be refreshing – it will not be a beauty contest and we will maintain our usual cadre of enemies, but it would make our diplomacy more meaningful.
The enduring problem with such a policy is that it will still require wise, educated, and experienced leaders to determine who to whomp, when, and with what. Starting with its leader, the present administration does not have a senior level team in place to carry out such a policy – their forte consists of wrongheaded and untimely appeasement.
Afterthoughts: I first learned the gory details about Afghanistan back in 1978 when James Michner’s Caravans: A Novel of Afghanistan was published. (All the Rebanes were avid readers of Michner’s and Clavell’s historical novels in those days.) Immediately apparent was that this region was not a country in the ordinary sense of the world, no more than were China (that at least made pretense) and India before the western colonists intervened.
Before the USSR’s recent intervention in the 1980s, the last anyone tried to colonize Afghanistan was Great Britain in its strategic maintenance of the British Empire in the 19th century. Britain’s goal in controlling the region was to deny czarist Russia’s expansionist forays in central Asia that included Afghanistan as a strategically important access to a warm water port unencumbered by climate and foreign controlled narrow straits. In 1878 Britain attempted the tried-and-true approach of imperial colonials – go into a region consisting of warring and distrustful tribes, pick a tribe with a capable and malleable leader, and support him in conquering and annihilating his ethnic brethren. That leader would then be celebrated as the ‘great unifier’ of his heretofore non-existent country that would become a satrap of the western invader. It worked in so many places, it was sure to work in Afghanistan.
Well, it didn’t, and all the west got out of it was a bunch of pretty good literature. But it did give the Russians about a century of pause before they decided in 1980 that they could do it better. But after ten years, the communists in Moscow pulled out of Afghanistan – it turned out that they had bigger problems at home and with their European colonies.
What should be of some amazement to all Americans today is that less than 25 years later, the double dummies on Team Bush2 decided to have another go at nation-building with the idea that a unified Afghanistan under our security umbrella would become a stable and loyal ally. An ally that would serve as a geo-strategic anchor in the mid-east and south Asia from which the US could manage its regional, and even global interests. (Our allies were all for it given their own interest in securing the region’s supply of oil.) Then reality stepped in, and we saw before ten years had passed that we weren’t going to do any better than the Brits or the Russkys. But our hubris and wallet seemed boundless, and the comparatively low rate of casualties was politically acceptable – since we were making the world safe from terrorists – and we stuck it out for another ten years, ignoring a constant stream of evidence that there was no good ending to this growing trail of tears.
So what did we do, we decided to pull a Saigon 2.0 in Kabul, thereby completing a trifecta of a wrongheaded invasion, followed by a frustrating and futile occupation, and concluding now with an ignominious exit. And today half of Americans want to enlarge our government while giving it more money and more control over our lives. How did we become such an ignorant and contentious people?
[16aug21 update] To salvage some remaining honor from the ongoing and ignominious Biden Banzai for the exits, Rebane Doctrine proposes the following. With the 5,000+ combat troops we already have there, the US should declare the Kabul international airport as a temporary sovereign enclave and haven to be retained and defended until the thousands of Afghanis already on the airport, or those who can get there in the interval, are processed for exit visas and transported safely out of the country. First order of business should be to fly in tents, toilets, food distribution facilities, etc (and more gunships and fighting vehicles) to take care of the throngs while they await their exits. Should the Taliban do anything to thwart that process, we will declare publicly that we will whomp them with a new and improved version of ‘shock and awe’ that will give new meaning to the operation, and it will continue for an undetermined time to include Taliban targets all over Afghanistan. In short, we’ll leave when we’re damn good and ready.
[17aug21 update] Biden cannot learn from mistakes. Bumblebrain has a 40+ year sorry record of understanding and making policies – this deficit is especially acute in foreign policy. He was much younger when he started rejecting corrective feedback to his early blunders. Today he has put a ribbon around his demonstrated ability/propensity to make a flustercluck out of all his initiatives and responsibilities. Without the ability to understand and accept feedback from past mistakes, there can be no learning for improved performance. And he’s demonstrated this by blaming Afghanistan on everyone except the guy in the mirror. Today this mental (character?) defect is abetted by his visible mental decline which, I suspect, is making members of his cabinet and inner circle brush up on the particulars of the 25th Amendment. Pelosi must be inwardly overjoyed at the prospect, and Kamala is just too dumb to be worried about her own prospects should the musical chairs start. And the rest of the country will suffer the consequences.
[21aug21 update] Here is an especially interesting, informative, corroborative, and well told piece about the Taliban, how and why they fight, and why losing does not enter their minds as even an idle thought. It's told by a AF gunship combat veteran whose job was to listen in on the Taliban and then kill them by the hundreds. What's astounding is that the ragheads knew the Americans were listening in on their radio transmissions, and they didn't give a crap about being overheard. 'What I learned while eavesdropping on the Taliban' (H/T to reader). Enjoy.

WILL THERE BE HOSTAGES? [UPDATED]
https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2021/08/will-there-be-hostages.php
A few days ago I read a good article about all the civilian employees (both American and Afghanistan citizens) in the Kabul zone. There is a lot of Afghanistans (not to mention American civilians and companies) doing the work of pushing our interests. Forget the number, but it is thousands. Maybe 10,000 Afghanistans from maids to truck drivers to food vendors to spies.
With the lighting speed of the collapse appearing imminent, the article predicted that it will be each Afghan on his/her own their own to get out of dodge on foot or car in an environment where the enemy is not only at the gates, but has the area surrounded. (Interruptors and their families get priority, but is only the tip of the iceberg)
Wonder how the Tailban tally wackers will feel about Afghans supporting the USA…even if they were only delivery men?
Here is a hint: When the Taliban first took over, they banned things like sports, Western influenced music (all music that was not Islamic mosque stuff) and you quickly get the idea you are back in times of the eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, cut of the hand of a thief times. Cut out a tongue for blasphemy times.
So, in one particular town, the Taliban announced there would be a soccer match at the stadium, all are welcome to attend. They townsfolk packed the place, excited to finally see a sporting event. At the event, the Taliban paraded out the townsfolk the Taliban previously arrested and tortured and proceeded to cut of their heads on the soccer field. Then the soldiers started playing their soccer match using the severed heads as soccer balls. Children were invited to kick the heads around on the sidelines….heads of their parents and neighbors. Wonder how they will treat the traitors who collaborated with The Great Satan?
All American flags have been taken down at the Embassy. Where are the civilians to flee to? Out in the area controlled by the Taliban? It’s not like they can make it to the border.
When fighting broke out recently in the northern region, 1,000 highly trained Afghan military forces abandoned the fight and fled to Tajikistan. They were the lucky ones.
It is the Islamic conquering way to rape all the women, wives, and daughters of the foe to humiliate the men and establish total dominance….in more ways than one.

He just walked away and left them to their fates and the world knows it –
The escalating situation has sparked criticism of both the UK and the United States for the handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, which some say allowed the Taliban to regain control shockingly quickly.
The chairman of the Commons Foreign Affairs Committee, Tom Tugendhat, said it was “the biggest single foreign policy disaster since Suez”.
Tugendhat, who chairs the Commons Foreign Affairs Committee, criticised the US for withdrawing air support from Afghan forces, saying: “We’ve just pulled the rug from under these guys. We’ve taken away their air support, we’ve taken away their logistics, and we’ve said to them: ‘Go on then, let’s see how you do.’”
On Friday Defence Secretary Ben Wallace warned that the withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan would leave “a very big problem on the ground” while former Armed Forces Minister Johnny Mercer, said the Afghan armed forces had been let down by both the US and UK governments, telling Sky News: “It’s heartbreaking to watch. We will reap the repercussions from this for many years to come.”

Totalitarians Everywhere Throughout History Enact Control Over Weapons: The Taliban Come For The Guns
BY HERSCHEL SMITH
3 hours, 19 minutes ago
Report from Kabul.
Taliban fighters on Monday reportedly began collecting weapons from civilians in Kabul as the insurgent group cements its swift takeover of Afghanistan.
“We understand people kept weapons for personal safety. They can now feel safe. We are not here to harm innocent civilians,” a Taliban official told Reuters.
ISIS did it too.
“ISIS was telling everyone, ‘We’re all brothers,’ ” Abu Malik said. “They let people smoke and drink. At the checkpoints, they distributed presents to the kids. They ate with people, drank tea with people. They were very nice—they didn’t bother anyone. Then, a week or so after they arrived, they started confiscating weapons. They told us it didn’t matter if we’d been with the Awakening or the Army or the police—if we gave up our weapons, we’d be forgiven. Ten days later, they started taking people. Everything changed. They took my cousin. My brothers dug holes in the fields and hid. I was at my house when they came for me. It was afternoon. I saw two Hyundai Santa Fes pull up outside, and I ran out the back and jumped over the wall. That was the last time I saw my family.”
Guns were confiscated prior to the Armenian genocide in Turkey, prior to the Nazi reign in Germany, prior to Idi Amin’s reign of terror in Uganda, and on the list could go.
And to repeat, gun control is never about confiscation of all guns, the usual rejoinder to these instances by the left. In fact, claiming so undermines the main point.
Gun control is always about leaving them in the hands of state-sanctioned actors and outlawing gun ownership by those not approved by the state.
No wonder “Corniglio” is so in favor of the policy….

How Biden fucked things up on an epic scale.
“First off, Joe violated our agreement with the Taliban. My colleague Frances Martel perfectly laid out what the media will never tell you:
Under predecessor Donald Trump, Washington brokered a deal with the Taliban that would have seen the American military presence in the country, which turned 20 years old this year, end on May 1, 2021. In exchange, the Taliban promised not to attack American troops and to cut ties with international jihadist organizations like al-Qaeda, whose attacks on America on September 11, 2001, prompted the Afghan War. Instead, Biden broke the deal, extending the military presence initially into September before cutting it back to August.
Taliban officials took Biden’s disavowal of the agreement as a license to begin a campaign of conquest nationwide that has resulted in, according to Taliban officials, the group now controlling about 85 percent of the country. Taliban officials also falsely claimed they never agreed to cut ties with al-Qaeda. [emphasis added]
So by breaking the deal Trump brokered, Biden gave the Taliban terrorists the green light to violate their end of the agreement. And so, here we are, fleeing with our tail between our legs and dealing with a national embarrassment unseen since Saigon 1975.”

‘Prominent Feminist Groups Mysteriously Silent While Taliban Targets Women In Afghanistan’
“Local reports say Taliban fighters are already going door-to-door and forcibly marrying girls as young as 12 as Jihadist commanders order imams to create ‘marriage lists’ and offer girls for sexual servitude,” the Daily Mail reported. “Taliban soldiers are to marry the women aged from 12 to 45 … because they view them as ‘qhanimat’ or ‘spoils of war’ — to be divided up among the victors.”
There are some feminists who have called out the Taliban. Malala Yousafzai, who was shot in the head as a young teenager by the Taliban in Pakistan after she spoke up for the right of girls to attend school, tweeted about the ongoing situation in Afghanistan.
“We watch in complete shock as Taliban takes control of Afghanistan. I am deeply worried about women, minorities and human rights advocates. Global, regional and local powers must call for an immediate ceasefire, provide urgent humanitarian aid and protect refugees and civilians,” wrote Yousafzai, a Nobel Peace Prize winner.“
