Kansas City Copes With American Defeat In Afghanistan

The United States just lost another war. 

There's a lot of ways to talk around this fact of life but the excuses are nothing more than politics and have very little to do with the real world.

Another unfair truism . . .

The defeat makes the entire Democratic Party look weak and Prez Biden doesn't seem like he's in charge of much given that he can't even control his dog.

Of course hypocrite partisan "right-wing" scumbags are forgetting that Prez W. Bush started this losing fight with a dangerous religious fervor that set the U.S. down the impossible road of nation building.

Nevertheless . . . 

The mightiest military the world has ever witnessed retreated from a collection of very mean goat herders who are seemingly celebrating their conquest by putting all of their women in potato sacks.

The end game doesn't help Americans even as pundits attempt to spin the tragedy to the advantage of various demographic groups, superstitious sects or feeble ideologies. 

Tragic trends continue to advance, unabated . . .

White dudes are deathly (and justifiably) afraid of a world where they're no longer #1.

Even worse . . . 

Our activist friends seem willfully ignorant of how much freedom they enjoy in the United States and that their antics wouldn't last 10 minutes in any other country. For the record, NO LIVES MATTER IN CHINA and most Asian countries are pretty remarkably and openly racist.

Meanwhile . . . 

Amid culture war and a constant struggle to garner attention on divergent media platforms . . . Very few people understand the horrific cruelty required to support this American house of cards. 

There was a "plan" to make the Taliban pay a devastating cost for embarrassing the U.S. military and, at the very least, put the fear of God into the fake Afghan turncoat army funded by American taxpayers . . . But it looks like Prez Biden blinked. 

And so we're forced to endure a litany of Saigon references today. 

Meanwhile, all that TKC can think about is BILLIONS WASTED IN AFGHANISTAN.  All of that cash could have built high-speed rail across the continental U.S., sparked space exploration, saved the manatees, given us an extra year before AOC's doomsday 12 year deadline OR paid off student loan debt for losers who mistakenly majored in communication studies and freed up a great deal of cash so that bloggers could buy more chicken wings for amicable, chubby 30-something blondes with low standards. 

Oh, the humanity. 

Accordingly, and amid the decline of Western Civilization, we share these links and resources in hopes that our blog community of brilliant video game chair generals can make sense of all this . . .

One last thing . . . We normally don't share stuff that we actually like . . . But . . . Given that we've seen the "Fall of Saigon" part deux and the U.S. is mired in economic inequity, racial hateration and a declining t-cell count amid plauge like some 1979 New York City disco queen who can't quite shake a persistent cough . . . This tune seems apropos and reminds us that societies rise and fall but the song remains the same . . .
