Biden’s Afghanistan retreat

The New Neo Posted on February 9, 2022 by neoFebruary 9, 2022

Looking back: predictions about our Afghanistan withdrawal

The New Neo Posted on September 20, 2021 by neoSeptember 20, 2021

I’m not sure many of us were paying a whole lot of attention to what was being said about our withdrawal from Afghanistan before it occurred, but I think it’s instructive to look back and see what people in government … Continue reading →

So the Woodward allegations about General Milley and China were true

The New Neo Posted on September 16, 2021 by neoSeptember 17, 2021

The furor around General Milley

The New Neo Posted on September 15, 2021 by neoSeptember 15, 2021

The left scrambles to pretend that what General Milley did was no big deal. You can see some reports here, here, here, and here. There’s a great deal to digest. But one thing in particular caught my eye, which I … Continue reading →

Irony of ironies: General Milley did to Trump what he should have done to Biden

The New Neo Posted on September 14, 2021 by neoSeptember 14, 2021

The feckless General Milley, who did Joe Biden’s bidding in Afghanistan even though he knew it would be epically disastrous or who was so stupid himself that he didn’t even realize the consequences, did the following after January 6th: Two … Continue reading →

Victor Davis Hanson speaking on Biden, Afghanistan, and America’s decline

The New Neo Posted on September 13, 2021 by neoSeptember 13, 2021

I haven’t yet watched the whole of this video – it’s long. But what I’ve seen seems excellent, if depressing. I suggest you watch (or just listen to, if you’re double-tasking) at least part of it. Sometimes, to save time … Continue reading →

The Ghani phone call and the Congressional mandate: for Biden, it’s both the crime and the coverup

The New Neo Posted on September 1, 2021 by neoSeptember 1, 2021

The main part of the coverup right now – at least, as far as we know – is the declaration that the US military evacuation of Afghanistan was a success. The MSM is mainly falling in line, even though a … Continue reading →

The Afghanistan evacuation decision tree

The New Neo Posted on August 31, 2021 by neoAugust 31, 2021

Our withdrawal from Afghanistan is riddled with bad decisions. Whether they were intentionally bad and designed to harm the US I do not know, but in this post I’ll assume for the sake of argument that that was not the … Continue reading →
