Below is from a transcript of what Gen. Milley told the press on 8/18 about the decision to abandon Bagram. Contrast it with Biden's claim that the military thought Bagram of little use. We left because Biden wanted the Kabul embassy secured with no additional troops. pic.twitter.com/B3sXxEGtba
In his book Bob Gates said Biden has been on wrong side of every foreign policy decision for 40 yrs. With this mess in Afghanistan, we can now make that 50 yrs.
“I just reported the official 90-day review period Biden ordered on the origin of the coronavirus pandemic ended. There will be a briefing as early as Tuesday on the results.
Or, instead, the briefing will cover the lack of results. It appears the report will not reach any definitive conclusions, nor will there be any meaningful action taken to have the Chinese be more transparent, open, and honest about their coronavirus research and laboratories.
Notwithstanding, histrionic Chinese officials are threatening to retaliate against any nation that names the Wuhan Institute of Virology bat lab as the point source of the pathogen.
China is threatening to retaliate against any country that claims the coronavirus originated from a Wuhan lab leak — a warning that comes as a US intelligence community report was “inconclusive” about the origins of the pandemic.
“We will continue to cooperate with international organizations like the WHO in their research and in their search for the origins,” said Fu Cong, director-general of the Foreign Ministry’s Arms Control Department, according to Bloomberg News.
“But we do not accept baseless and unfounded accusations that are politically motivated. And if they want to baselessly accuse China, so they better be prepared to accept the counterattack from China,” he said on Wednesday.
Chinese officials are also accusing the US of “scapegoating” the nation over the pandemic.”
China on Wednesday criticized the U.S. “politicization” of efforts to trace the origin of the coronavirus, demanding without any evidence that American labs be investigated, ahead of the release of a U.S. intelligence report on the virus.
The U.S. report is intended to resolve disputes among intelligence agencies considering different theories about how the coronavirus emerged, including a once-dismissed theory about a Chinese laboratory accident.
“Scapegoating China cannot whitewash the U.S.,” Fu Cong, director-general of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ arms control department, told a briefing.
China has also been busy bullying the European Union over the issue.
In a veiled warning to Brussels, Chinese officials urged Wednesday an end to “politicizing the issue of origins tracing” amid growing pressure on Beijing to allow for a more thorough investigation into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic.
The statement, made by China’s mission to the EU, comes after Research and Innovation Commissioner Mariya Gabriel added her name on Tuesday to a group of scientific experts and government representatives from the U.S., Australia and Japan. In a statement, they called on the “Chinese government to reconsider its decision to not engage in the World Health Organization’s proposal for the next phase of the COVID-19 origins study.””

“If you are a commissioned officer, going public with your concerns about how the military or your particular service is going is an activity nearly guaranteed to provide you all the fun and entertainment you can reasonably handle. However, where integrity and forthrightness are given a place of honor in lesson plans and speeches, the reality is that at senior levels, you are expected to shut up and toe the command’s line. You deviate from that norm at your peril.
If you disagree with racism being inculcated into the military, and you hold a command position, you don’t have the ability to voice any concerns about the very, very dark place that is taking us. (As an aside, how often do you think you can force young white, there I said it, white men to sit in a class and be ridiculed and humiliated because of their race and not have a non-trivial number of them say, **** it, if you think I’m an oppressor, then I can be your huckleberry?) For instance, when Space Force Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Lohmeier wrote a book critical of the implantation of Marxist ideology into the military by command fiat, he was relieved of his command.”
