AS CELENTE FORECAST: U.S. WOULD LOSE AFGHAN WAR LAUNCHED BY BUSH. THE WORST IS YET TO COME

Pick up the newspapers, listen to the news. What a disgusting freak show. 
Blaming Joe Biden—who voted for the Afghan War and every other war America has launched since he’s been sucking off the public tit when he was sworn in as a Senator from Delaware at the age of 30—for America’s defeat in Afghanistan.
In the lead up to the Afghan War in October 2001, Biden joined the rest of his criminal Senate colleagues in a unanimous vote in support of a resolution that is in direct contradiction to the U.S. Constitution. 
Repealing the Constitution that grants Congress the sole authority to enact legislation and declare war, Bullshit Biden signed on to give President George W. Bush the sole power to authorize the use of military force against “nations, organizations, or persons” that Bush determined were behind the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
Let’s look at the facts. 
On 7 October 2001, President George W. Bush ordered the invasion of Afghanistan stating the purpose was to capture Osama bin Laden, leader of the organization Al-Qaeda, which, according to U.S. intelligence, was behind the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon on 11 September 2001. 
Bin Laden denied any involvement, and, as we have reported in detail in the Trends Journal, President Bush refused to negotiate, provide evidence… or even talk to the Taliban regarding bin Laden’s role in the attack.
Long forgotten, but as we again note in this Trends Journal, is the report that 15 of the 9/11 terrorists were Saudis, one of America’s treasured allies. (See, “DID SAUDIS ENABLE 9/11 ATTACKS?”).
Since initiating the war back in 2001 and giving it the name “Operation Enduring Freedom,” the justification shifted to a fight with the Taliban, which the Bush administration cited as a direct threat to the sovereignty of surrounding countries.
Fast Forward
Now, nearly 20 years later, under the recent orders of President Joe Biden, American troops have been withdrawn, and in a blink of a cosmic eye the Taliban is now in control of Afghanistan.
And what is the result? 
Chaos Engulfs Afghanistan Withdraw,” blares the front page headline of today’s Wall Street Journal
Defending his position to withdraw American troops and contractors (i.e., mercenaries), Biden spouted:
“Here’s what I believe to my core: It is wrong to order American troops to step up when Afghanistan’s own armed forces would not. How many more generations of America’s daughters and sons would you have me send to fight Afghanistan’s civil war? I will not repeat the mistakes we made in the past.”
Seeing the end was near, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani fled the country on Sunday and all U.S. Embassy staff were evacuated. Ghani has been called a traitor by many Afghans and after supporting him for years, now two-faced U.S. “officials” depict him as a corrupt leader who was more interested in enriching himself than building the country.
Just hours before, Ghani gave a televised speech—his first since the offensive—he promised not to give up the country’s “achievements” in the past two decades.
“We have started consultations, inside the government with elders and political leaders, representatives of different levels of the community as well as our international allies,” he said. “Soon the results will be shared with you.” 
Reuters, citing a senior interior ministry official, said Ghani fled to Tajikistan. He has not been heard from since. 
More Bullshit 
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said no country should bilaterally recognize the Taliban as the leaders of the country. He admitted that it might be challenging to keep other countries on board with that initiative, and China, as we had forecast,  has already shown signs of a willingness to work with the Taliban. 
Reuters reported that photos were published that showed Foreign Minister Wang Yi standing with visiting Taliban officials. The report said since the photos were released, “China’s propaganda machinery has quietly begun preparing its people to accept an increasingly likely scenario that Beijing might have to recognize the Taliban.”
Lin Minwang, a South Asia expert with Shanghai’s Fudan University, told the news outlet that China is “being pragmatic.” 
“How you want to rule your country is largely your own business, just don’t let that affect China,” he said. “When a major Asian power like China shows it recognizes Talban’s political legitimacy by meeting them so openly, it’s giving the Taliban a big diplomatic win.” 
While we had forecast that following Biden’s U.S. troop withdrawal the Taliban would overtake the nation and quickly secure its capital, Kabul… that was not the perspective from Washington or the mainstream media.  
Now western intelligence services are expressing dismay that the Taliban can retake so much of the country with such speed and ease. The Wall Street Journal reported that officials in the U.S. said they did not expect Taliban fighters to take over any cities until the fall. U.S. intelligence agencies last week warned that Kabul could fall in 90 days. 
Indeed, the AP reported that up until Saturday, the U.S. was still trying to advance peace talks with the Taliban in Qatar. Doha has called for a ceasefire. Middle East Eye reported that the Taliban’s political office is in the city. The AP reported that Kabul was offering the Taliban a power-sharing deal in return for peace.
The Great Escape
Many Afghans were unwilling to take a wait-and-see approach and have fled their homes. The Taliban have already detained some citizens in Mazar-Sharif and set fire to schools, the report said. 
“There will be no place for women,” Salima Mazari, a female district governor, told the AP. “In the provinces controlled by the Taliban, no women exist there anymore, not even in the cities. They are all imprisoned in their homes.” 
The fighters have been freeing Taliban prisoners with each city they take and have picked up military equipment left behind by retreating Afghan forces. 
Biden on Saturday authorized an additional 1,000 U.S. troops for deployment, bringing the total number to about 5,000. He said that their mission is to ensure that the U.S. can have an “orderly and safe drawdown.” The president OK’d Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s recommendation that the U.S. send the lead battalion of the 82nd Airborne Division—which is an additional 1,000 troops, Politico reported. The other two battalions will camp in Kuwait as a “ready reserve.” 
CBS News reported earlier that some embassy staffers would stay behind, including special agents from the Bureau of Diplomatic Security Service and other “top decision-makers.” 
“Security engineers will also stay behind to continue destroying sensitive hard drives, taking down cameras, and stripping the embassy of alarms,” the report said.
Biden made it clear to the Ghani government that it was on its own while the Taliban advanced last week.
“Afghan leaders have to come together,” Biden said last Tuesday. “We lost thousands to death and injury, thousands of American personnel. They’ve got to fight for themselves…fight for their nation.”
The Wall Street Journal reported: “The Biden administration has said that after two decades in Afghanistan, the U.S. has expended enough money and lives there, and that US priorities are shifting to rebuilding at home and dealing with China and Russia.” 
Former President Bush, who launched the Afghan War, issued a statement late Monday calling on the Biden administration to make good on its promise to evacuate Afghans who have been on the “forefront of progress inside their nation.”
TREND FORECAST: Gerald Celente had forecast when the Afghan War began, that America would lose: “If Alexander ‘The Great’ couldn’t pull it off, if the British couldn’t beat them and neither could the Russians, there is no way America will win.” Mr. Celente also noted that the U.S. had not won a war since World War II. 
As a result of his forecast, Celente, once a popular guest on mainstream media and having appeared twice on Oprah, was blackballed from the press and TV and accused of being anti-American. (See the movie, “ZIZI and HONEYBOY,” starring Doris Roberts)
TRENDPOST:  On 15 June, we published an article, “PENTAGON: KEEP THE 20 YEAR LOSING AFGHAN WAR GOING,” and pointed out that in April, Biden announced the withdrawal, he promised to support the government of Afghanistan and said that although U.S. military involvement was ending, diplomatic and humanitarian involvement would continue. He said that military strikes would occur only for anti-terrorism or if American interests were threatened.
The Trends Journal has reported extensively on the quagmire in Afghanistan and the seemingly endless war. See:

 
TRENDPOST: As we have been reporting, despite Washington’s tough talk in challenging China, considering its endless string of military defeats since World War II, should war break out between the two nations, the U.S. would be no match against the Beijing dynasty.
Indeed, China is already using the U.S. calamity in Afghanistan as a warning to Taiwan. The Chinese newspaper, the Global Times, wrote that the troop withdrawal in Afghanistan should resonate with Taiwan. “How Washington abandoned the Kabul regime particularly shocked some in Asia, including the island of Taiwan,” the editorial read.
