@Happydayz-2025
Are you talking about soldiers? Police? 🤨
No one knows anything about being shot at, until it happens, imbecile. Yeah, they acted really effectively, hid and waited their turn to meet God - it was only 'effective', because others were armed, dumbass. Overwhelming majority of mass murder victims are killed while cowering/hiding, pleading, or playing dead. The overwhelming majority of the rest, are killed while trying to run away. Very effective.
As late as the 1980s, there were places where people were still being mass clubbed to death. More people are still bludgeoned or strangled than murdered with guns; overwhelming majority of shootings in the US, being justified. I work with several guys, who could beat a grown man to death, bare handed; in a world without weapons, those people take whatever they want from you, or your children. Force monopoly is evil. Guns are force equalizers, because they dont require youth, strength, or athleticism to be effective.

Congratulations, you might be a good parent. Meanwhile, there are parents who never accept that their child grew past a toddler. This whole story is very suspicious. The 'bombs' had no fuel or fusing and there is no noted evidence of any experimentation. This is extremely uncommon. Typically, you see bombers evolve, not just appear fully matured, with a bunch of bombs that need only to be armed. This looks a lot, like a fantasy, or some kid's weird toys, that someone overreacted to.
Anecdote: when I was a kid(probably about 10 or 12), I made toy 'bombs' all the time. One time, I made a 'molotov cocktail', that had everything but the cocktail. I wrapped it in masking tape, because I playing with a glass bottle, as a toy and was thinking of safety (🤨). I had left it in the yard and that night, the police came to my neighbor's house to get their drunk and extremely disorderly uncle. The cops found my toy, in the grass and told my parents that he had tried to burn our house, but it didn't go off... because he had wrapped it in tape, so it wouldn't take fingerprints. A couple days later, I had to fess up to the cops, that it was mine, when I found out they were charging him with arson.
We have no real context, here and the media has a vested interest in creating a narrative. Just saying, be careful what you believe, before all the facts come out. This could just as easily be a bunch of airsoft props made by someone with too much time on their hands. Or, dictator parents spinning a narrative to the cops they called, because they've had it with their defiant 10 year old. During my field training for my psych program, I saw 17 - 25 year olds, with parents who thought it was not just ok, but their Right to interfere in everything, go through their stuff anytime they wanted, check their pockets, open their mail, etc., because its 'their house'. This often results maladjusted, yet harmless adult children.

This offensive was very clearly planned around Russia throwing down their guns and running away from NATO tanks. That didn't happen and now they're scrambling to adjust. Their 'main thrust' is going to be something akin to a 'Roman column', where they're going to stream their entire army into one or two points, or possibly a section of the front, like a meat drill. They're going to try to do Bakhmut. This gives the advantage of continuous troop rotation against a fatiguing defensive position.
The problem is that last year's offensive was only minimally successful. Russia was outnumbered 3:1 with no defensive works and Ukraine still burned ~10k troops at 5:1 losses making Banzai runs at Kherson, before shifting to Kharkiv and chasing away some militia forces. Then, Russia took 2 months casually pulling out of Kherson. Now, Russia has a ~1.2:1 advantage and multiple layers of defensive fortification, the entire length of the front.
Russia's strategy is to break from heavy contact and withdraw to the defensive line. Each successive withdrawal reinforces the next line. This is intended to absorb an attack. Russia will keep doing this until Ukraine runs out of time, or steam and is compelled to commit their main force to an objective. Then, Russia will go on an offensive one or two other places. It looks like one of those is going to be Kharkiv, as Russia has massed some 100,000 troops in the area, along with about 5,000 Wagner and 5,000 Chechens.
Ukraine has the combat power to give Russia a reeling blow. But, its going to cost them their army to do it, on the gamble that someone will give them a new one, before Russia recovers.

@CRF1000RR
'When you point your finger, three point back... cause Trump'
You idiot
Nope. Fact pattern is already clear and filling in, every day. At a time when CCP was absolutely, 100% aware of its virulence and its severity, it restricted domestic travel and disappeared journalists and Drs trying to report on it, all while buying out the world's supply of critical medical materiel, allowing unrestricted international travel and baldfaced lying to the entire world, that there was no Human transmission. That is a deliberate act, to spread it to the rest of the world. There is nothing even particularly shocking about that, from either a Communist, or Chinese perspective. They were suffering, saw an opportunity to profit and gave everyone else a 'fair share'. They have the benefit of being ruthless Communist dictators, who can essentially just murder and incinerate the infected, while the Civilized world, has to cope with it, while respecting the Human Rights and intrinsic value, of every person.

A couple points about the weapon:
1) it is home manufactured and therefore its entirely possible there are more than one. The barrel, which is what marks the bullet, costs less than $100 and can be replaced in seconds. He certainly had means to have several weapons and or spare barrels. As a home manufacture from aftermarket parts, theres no way to tell if its the original barrel or how many times it's been replaced.
2) the ammunition recovered with the weapon is FMJ(Full Metal Jacket) which is a solid non-expanding bullet that will go right through and continue traveling for a significant distance. This could make it very difficult to recover the bullets and then spatially link them to the crime scene; they could be a block away across the street, or embedded in a parked vehicle that drove away to who knows where. Whether that was the purpose of the ammunition choice or he just didn't know any better, at this point Id believe either.
However, if the ammunition recovered with the weapon is the same as the live rounds that were left at the scene, those can be fairly conclusively matched. If the weapon has certain 'quirks', it will uniquely mark the spent casings. A malfunctioning weapon can produce unique identifiable markings. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if the ammunition recovered with the weapon had the writing on it. None of which is conclusive in isolation, but its all cumulative.
No matter though, because just Pennsylvania and the Federal Gvt have enough indefensible charges against him to put him away for a significant part of a lifetime; he was caught in possession of an illegally concealed, illegal weapon, an unregistered sound suppressor and multiple forged ID, even presenting one to the police, which directly places him in the vicinity of the NYC crime. Whether or not they match the bullets to the weapon, hes done. Im skeptical hes going to like his new free healthcare plan better than his old one.

@wksoh
Well, A) Iraq had enough banned materiel, in addition to the constant, flagrant violations of the ceasefire, for a decade, to justify the action against the regime. The only thing they did not find, was the 'mobile anthrax labs', which was... wait for it... CNN Fake News. That was never the justification, it was the stockpiles of chemical weapons, the constant shooting at NATO planes and threatening and denial of UN inspectors... and B) Saddam, himself, said that he wanted everyone to think he was building nukes and had a massive chemical and biological arsenal, because his convention military had been decimated and he was more worried about his neighbors(particularly Iran), than he was about the US. So, you essentially have a guy thrusting his hand into his jacket and yelling at the cops, I 'I HAVE A GUN!!!... to scare his neighbor.

I knew it. I knew that's what this was going to be. I hated Iraq, hated, hated, hated and couldn't understand how Humans could live in such a place. But, I really liked the Iraqis and have a couple good friends there, that I would like go visit again, someday. Afghanistan, on the other other hand, is a gorgeous place. Its an outdoorsman's dream come true. But, I don't trust a single Afghani any farther than I can kick them. They always expect bribes, for everything and every single, solitary one of them, will sell his brother, to get his goat. It was like a 70s swinger party, of everyone selling each other out, over debts, grudges and just petty jealousy. Billions of dollars have disappeared into that place, in bribes and bounties, for complete and utter bullshit. And every one of them will smile and bow and kiss your ass like sugar, while selling you out. Whenever we had one inside the compound overnight, I slept on the floor, with a dummy in my bed. They are corrupt to the core, as a people. The entire country should just be quarantined from rest if the planet, no one and nothing in, or out.

The salient issue, is that even if Trump did everything hes being accused of regarding Russia, there was no crime committed. He couldve had daily strategy meetings with Putin, but unless theres proof that he knowingly took tangible campaign contributions from a foreign gvt, or he directly negotiated policy, then there is NO CRIME. The fact is that EVERYONE does what Trump is 'accused' of. This is a very, very, VERY dangerous game for Democrats, because if they really want to make talking to foreign businessman and diplomats an issue, they are going to have a really bad time, in the next election.
We actually have hard evidence of a campaign colluding with foreign interests and conspiring with corporate interests to rig the election. The only thing Russians are alleged to have done, is to expose it, to the benefit of the the other. Think that over - This whole thing, is about the Russians, giving us a fair election.

Ive had the same issue. 'Glock Perfection' doesn't mean its a perfect pistol, it means it works as well as they could make it. Everything is dirt simple and flawless... except when parts start getting some mileage. I finally traced mine to the trigger spring. The trigger spring is a fail-safe part that should disable the gun, on failure. By every measurement I could take, my spring was in spec, but my gun went off on its own, until I replaced that spring. I replaced every trigger part, in every combination. Then put it together original and replaced the spring. Fixed. I can recreate the failure by putting the original spring back.
Anyway, the way a Glock works, is the slide comes forward and pushes the trigger bar forward to set the trigger. Pulling the trigger, pulls the trigger bar backward, under the slide, where a lug on the bar engages the firing pin safety so the gun can fire. What happens is, if you rack the slide too aggressively, the slide overrides the trigger bar and allows it to engage the firing pin safety, while the sear slips off the striker - BOOM
Edit: to be clear, the issue in the video, is 99.999% certainly the aftermarket trigger. Mine was an old spring, with a lot of milage.

Get in a lot of gunfights, do you?
Its a stressful situation and the Taser weapon is designed specifically to handle like a firearm, to streamline training and be intuitive. You can hear her yelling Taser! so unless you're going to make the absurd argument that she knew and was just providing cover for a wanton murder, you have to believe she thought it was a Taser.
Yes, officers mistake their pistol for a Taser, frequently. When these things first came out, a lot of us in the training industry saw this coming. When your adrenaline spikes, you lose sensation in your hands and get 'tunnel vision'. She wouldn't have been able to differentiate the Taser from her pistol, simply by touch and she likey didn't even see it in her peripheral vision. This is not her fault, its the fault of whomever approved the Taser for issue and whomever approved the usage policy. The Taser is a 'less lethal' weapon, not 'non-lethal'. If you can't shoot, you shouldn't be able to tase, either. lf she was in-policy to use a Taser, then this was a total accident and criminal charges are outrageous. If she was not in-policy to use a Taser, then there is a crime and she should face the consequences.
She probably shouldn't be a patrol officer, but charging her for a department created accident, is a political stunt and an abuse by people who have probably never been in a more threatening situation, than being called names. I am a combat veteran, trained to fight and kill and Ive seen plenty of people handle their first time, way worse than she did.

@lavanniek
Thats what everyone has completely lost touch with - its not an investigation, its a 'probe'. It never was an investigation of Trump and to assume it such, is a tacit admission of a political motivation. I expect the most profound revelation to be that Trump got a little dirty, beating a rigged election. Lets not forget that the core allegation regards the DNC emails, the veracity of which, was never challenged or questioned. Those emails, which Democrats claim swayed the election, allegedly did so, because they proved A) DNC rigged their Primaries, B) DNC, Hillary and Podesta colluded with major media outlets to influence the General election and C) that Hillary and Podesta colluded with media outlets to setup Trump as a strawman, to deftly strike down at the appointed moment. That last item alone, should be enough to remove any doubt of how hazardous President Hillary wouldve been to the world.

The military doesnt use the mini14, because it doesnt meet the requirements and cant pass the trials - not reliable, not accurate, poor thermal performance, heavy, etc. The AR is a high performance platform. So high performance, that theyve been trying to find a replacement for the past 40 years and nothing can beat it. Pretending its just another rifle is dishonest and unproductive. Rather than trying to minimalize the AR, people need to stand up for why they believe they should have one. This is why Rights such as gun Rights and speech Rights are constantly being driven back. Someone calls you a racist, dont defend yourself against the accusation, say 'So what???' Someone calls the AR a 'military style weapon', say 'FUCK YEAH IT IS!!!' If you cant say why you should have a combat effective weapon, then maybe theyre right?

@billtierney2201
No one did. I worked as an intelligence analyst, in the 90s and my assessment is that 95%+ of what the 'intelligence community' has told us about this, is 100% fabricated. Intel reports are expressed in degrees of 'confidence'; never as 'what we know', or in 'certainty'. This is a no-brainer, when you consider that identifying a black and blue tracksuit, as white and gold, could potentially lead to the end of Humanity. As well, no assessment is reported, without a minimum of one, preferably two, equally plausible alternate assessments, based on the same intel, for that reason.
During the Benghazi ordeal, CIA, NSA and FBI all told us it would be impossible to trace and positively identify the origin of a state sponsored hack, from a sophisticated adversary, "like Russia, or China." Next, we are being told with absolute certainty that Putin himself, is behind the 'DNC hack', because Cyrillic characters were found in a malware on one DoE computer and an (alleged) intrusion attempt , on DNC computers, originated from a Russian timezone. Now, just for argument, assume thats true and imagine blaming UK gvt, every time a European net ninja hacks into a computer.
The DNC emails, by all available evidence, were leaked, not hacked. Had it been a hack, they would've denied authenticity of the data. They did not; rather, going on a mole hunt. They were afraid of a trap, with even more damaging leaks, in face of a denial. Is it plausible that Russia coopted a DNC employee, to steal the data? Absolutely. But, that's not what is alleged.

Here we go. Nevermind that the reason the Taliban is bending Joe over on live tv, is because they have 8 years of experience with his broken deals, false promises and covering it up by droning everything with a detectable body temp; because the death and killing and blown up children and eradicated families doesn't bother him, so much as the political hit of a bloodied uniform. But, now, lets bomb someone who had no connection to the people who did the attack and make 5 more of them, like cutting up worms, to cover up for leaving the civilians behind, during a military withdrawal... which he defended himself by claiming this was always going to happen . Yet, still left the civilians behind.
Throughout history, leaders have abandoned civilians to the enemy, as a diversion for the army to escape. You can always make more civilians, but soldiers are valuable. Of course, Joe has been around since the Crusades, so his strategy isn't that surprising if abjectly appalling.

@lambertlum1087
I think you might be misunderstanding. The Civil War left a scar on America as a people, that is still tender, today; fighting people that look like you, talk like you, could be you, is exceedingly traumatic. It is, as I previously characterized it, wholesale murder.. Its a necessity to view the enemy as lesser and inferior and evil. Its imperative to judge them, on how theyre different from you, as justification for destroying them. You respect them as an adversary, but not as individuals. Trying to fight a war, without hurting anyone's feelings, is why we are in this mess and why we have so many psychically damaged veterans, many of whom never even saw combat. If you cant even hate someone, maybe you shouldn't be invading their home and killing them by the hundreds of thousands?

@BadMannerKorea
Correct, continuing to indoctrinate young people to the ideology that they're entitled to respect, inclusion, success, sex, etc. and that every failure and disappointment in their life, is a stumbling block deliberately put in their way by someone who hates them, isnt working. 9/10 public murder sprees, is a social justice rampage to get even with society for not giving them that to which they're entitled.
Recall that the archetype of the modern murder rampage, was Columbine; perpetrated with 'assault weapons' during the Clinton Assault Weapons ban. The overwhelming majority of successful attacks, occur in areas where the attacker is the only one armed.

Actually, if you are elderly, or have a weak heart, or compromised immune system, this and seasonal flu, have about the same mortality rate. However, if you are young and otherwise healthy, flu is an order of magnitude deadlier. That is the conundrum they are facing. Note that the mortality is precipitously dropping, as new non-critical cases are added to the statistics. This isnt anything I want to get, but we are experiencing mass hysteria, fueled by a reckless mainstream media, spouting fake news. Fewer than 10k people... of 7 billion ... have died from this, since October and the world has gone stark raving mad over it. If it were anything close to what the media is portraying, we would see deaths in 10s of thousands minimum, in China alone; more likely millions of critical cases, and 100s of thousands of deaths, just in China. I dont think anyone realizes how close we are to a global civilizational collapse and the media is shouting FIRE! FIRE! because they think they're above the consequences.

@trehill1356
Do you know what 'sample bias' is? Its a fundamental statistical blunder. As testing expands and more cases are confirmed, mortality has been dropping precipitously. We started with calculating mortality, from critical cases; the only kind we knew about. Now, we are finding out this has been around for awhile and was probably already here, before we even heard about China. We are learning that +80% of people who get it, wont get sick enough to go to the Dr. Kung Flu and seasonal flu, go critical by the same mechanism, ARDS, which has the same treatment regardless of cause; and we see a similar mortality of around ~3% for ARDS complication. With seasonal flu, there is a much higher threshold for hospitalization. What happened in Italy, is they overreacted and put every suspected case, in ICU and ran our of resources for actual cases, while exposing mildly ill patients, to Kung Flu. Thus, they had a massive exposure spike, followed by a mortality spike, which has further skewed the numbers. We expect to see those numbers fall off rapidly. Just consider that China, a billion people living in each other's unwashed underwear, is virtually over it, with underwhelming death numbers.
The point being that calculating mortality, from hospitalizations, heavily weights the numbers and gives an artificially inflated statistic; like taking a drug use survey at Woodstock and applying that to the poulation at large.

A) Machineguns are restricted, cost in the 10s of thousands of dollars and there are a fixed number that civilians can buy and sell. Eventually they will all wear out and there will be no more in circulation. Civilians with machineguns is propaganda.
B) count to yourself, '1... 1...2... 123... 12... 3' That is one rep of one proficiency drill for one application. Thats 9 rounds(round up to 10, for convenience). Now think of anything you've practiced, to get competent at and try to figure out how many repetitions it took. And remember, this is just one drill, out of several that an individual will need to perform, to be basically competent. You do want gun owners to be properly trained and have control of their gun, correct?
The answer is, no, no one 'needs' a machinegun, but its irrelevant, because they are practically common as unicorns and 300 rounds of ammunition, can be easily spent, in a single training session. I work in firearms training and a new shooter course, usually spends about 300 - 500 rounds per person, for basic instruction. Then those skills have to be maintained. Tap your finger on the desk, in the rhythm I specified and see how fast it adds up.
I'll try to answer any real questions.

Did it? I don't expect you to be honest here, but be honest with yourself and think of some of the times, you said you were going to kill people. Now then, imagine someone reported that you owned a gun and that automatically justified your arrest, your home raided and public character assassination? We know very little about this, except someone made an absurd, hyperbolic remark about killing '400 people, just for fun' and someone saw them firing a gun, before. We have no idea if dozens lives were saved from a rampaging maniac, or if this is an overzealous kneejerk reaction, to someone exercising their Constitutionally guaranteed Rights.

@ecurewitz
Right? If the leader of a sovereign nation would've just sat down and STFU about a hostile alliance built and expanded with the sole purpose destroying Russia, completely surrounding and landlocking his people.
Yeah, so I was an intelligence analyst from the late 80s through the late 90s, specializing in the Balkans. The near monolithic recommendation from all the intelligence services at the fall of the USSR, was stay out of Warsaw states Leave the former satellites neutral and do not attempt to expand NATO into Russia's borders. Russia was extremely vulnerable and volatile and deeply concerned about NATO trying to finish them off by choking off their access to the sea. But, the political wisdom, was the USSR was dead, lets go through its pockets! NATO and specifically the US and UK have been high fiving themselves and pissing on the corpse of USSR for 30 years, not seeming to comprehend that Russia, is not USSR. They still are not getting it, because our leadership has been corrupted by generations of institutional inbreeding. You see it now, in their assessments of the situation, where they belligerently cling to the narrative the Putin is trying to occupy and absorb Ukraine, to rebuild the USSR. Which is an absurdity on its face.

Until people start taking responsibility for social and cultural degeneration, reacting to such self-entitled behavior, is the only option we have. 9/10 of these public mass murders, is a social justice rampage, to get what they're owed, for the sex/inclusion/success/respect/etc. society has programmed them to feel entitled to yet, denied them.
I was mercilessly bullied and had free, uninhibited access to guns and ammunition, with the skill to use them. It never once occurred to me to murder my classmates. I did what everyone else did during the Cold War, I enlisted and went and murdered some real bullies. Guns and mental illness have been around for centuries. This has been a trend, since the 90s. The question to ask, is what changed so radically over span of a decade?

@edwardculhane7796
About the only valid issue here, is the perception of a 'coverup', in using the classified database. First, there's no allegation that this was directed by Trump. But more importantly, we have a complaint by a third party who heard leaked information about attempts to secure information. If thats difficult to follow, its because its a circular condition. Having worked in the intel field myself, to me this whole affair, looks more than anything else, like its own justification for using the classified database. This administration has been plagued by the 'intelligence community' leaking privileged information and overtly undermining foreign policy and relationships. I would suspect the use of said database, was started as an effort to stop media leaks and to identify leakers, as every access is logged. It really looks like leakers complaining that their access has been restricted.

Just to complete our dishonor...
CIA Director walks into Talibani Kabul for a secret meeting with the head of the Taliban. Days later a 50lb+ bomb(that is a physically large bomb to conceal) walks right through two Taliban checkpoints. Hours later, the Taliban has fingered a target the Pentagon admits wasn't involved and we kill them, merely on the Taliban's word. Less than 24hrs later, we launch a second dronestrike, into a heavily populated urban center and kill a whole family. This time there's survivors and witnesses and coincidence of coincidences, who happens to be in the car? ANA officer/former US military contractor, in Kabul attempting to escape the country. Pentagon is 'investigating' and has no comment. An ally whom we promised prosperity and security, in exchange for challenging the Taliban.
This is the consequence of, electing a President, who thinks hes running for Senate. Everyone who told themselves that didn't matter, because at least he's not mean, is morally culpable for this and what's to come.

@reinermost6269
Its not that. Rather, its the false standard of Desert Storm as the measure and the subsequent errant expectation for casualties. First, America didnt do Desert Storm alone, it was a NATO coalition. Second, we built up on the border of Kuwait, for 6 months. Third, we dumped nearly a million troops into that. Fourth, we didn't invade Iraq, we expelled Iraq from Kuwait. Fifth the Iraqis surrendered en mass; we smoked thousands of Iraqi soldiers, simply because they couldn't get their hands up fast enough. Sixth, 2/3 of the Iraqi infantry we destroyed, were already combat ineffective, before we engaged them and less than ½ the armor we destroyed was fully operational; most of it was immobile and being used as improvised artillery.
We kicked Iraq's ass, no doubt, but the reason they invaded Kuwait in the first place, was desperation, after the Iran-Iraq war.

We don't even know if this is anything. It could well be someone being edgy and grievously misjudging the reaction. People say stuff like 'Im going to kill EVERYONE ' all the time and its means nothing. Some of those people have guns and it doesn't mean anymore than it does any other time. Remember, the apparent reason they went after this person, wasn't the alleged 'threat', but that someone reported seeing a video of them firing a gun. We need more facts.
That said, yes, this is a social problem; a symptom of a 'No Boundaries' culture of self-righteous outrage and instant gratification. 9/10 of these public mass murders, os some variety of social justice rampage to get even with society for depriving them of the sex/respect/success/inclusion/etc that they've been programmed their whole lives, that they're entitled to. When every problem, or disappointment, or failure, is a stumbling block deliberately put in their way, by someone who hates them, how long can we expect it to take, for someone to decide that murdering the world, is self-defense?
This is not a legislative issue and any attempt to legislate solutions, will only continue to exacerbate the problem.

Doubtful. Nothing is likely to happen and if it does, it'll be more like Desert Storm, than anything else. We have no need to invade Iran, or seek regime change. We only need to restrict their force projection and allow nature to take its course. They have plenty of militarily powerful regional enemies and a massive cruise missile strike to cripple their air defenses, surface to surface missiles and power grid, would be a desperate situation for them. Their commanding priority, would be to rebuild their defenses, before someone took advantage. Then, they have civil unrest as a friction multiplier and Russia to reassure that everything is under control. Russia's interest in Iran, is purely geographical, so they aren't going to tolerate any nonsense that destabilizes and disrupts the region. If Iran loses control of the situation, over their lunacy, Russia will replace their leadership, itself. Iran has been a major headache for Russia and Russia would love nothing more, than an opportunity to get a new leadership that's easier to control.

Well, so far they've killed dozens and injured hundreds of their own, on top of looking pathetically weak to Israel, Jordan, Iraq, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Russia and the entire West. Great ruse, providing one or more of their neighbors doesn't smell the blood in the water and knock them over, like a 7 Eleven, while they're just waiting to make their move.

Here we go, again 🤦
As someone who has written intelligence reports and assessments, this is extremely annoying. First off, no reporter has seen that assessment, they have been fed one liners that require pages of context to understand and draw any conclusion. Second, these same lines and phrases are found in practically every strategic assessment. Third, assessments like this are delivered daily, about dozens of ongoing issues; reading them is a fulltime job for an entire department. Fourth, every assessment like this, comes with a minimum of one, typically two, alternate assessments written by a different team, from the same intelligence. It should be obvious, but this is because the most miniscule error in data or interpretation, 'could be cataclysmic'. So no, no one drops a folder on a desk and says this how it is. They drop a bunch of folders, let you read all of them, draw your own conclusion and then talk you through which ones they they think are more accurate and why. Reality is usually 5 pages from this one, a paragraph from that one, a section from another one, etc; and that is typically the result, with someone experienced in reading those reports. The practical reality, is that 95%+ of those reports are correctly round-filed by the recipient and forgotten.

Everyone falling on their swords already.
No, what happened is dumbass Joe, pulled the emergency handle, thinking it was the doorknob. We built the ANA with a failsafe; dependency on the US. We do this when building armies, to make them unable to operate without our approval. When Joe pulled out, he pulled their air support, their CASEVAC and medical facilities, their tactical intelligence (drones/satellites/electronic), their secure satellite communication network and their resupply. WTAF do you expect of them???
The most troubling part, is that the more that comes out, the more it looks like Biden simply didn't understand what the big deal is.
