Churchill’s words apply consistently to appeasing Islamic terrorism. The more you appease, the more they kill you.
Biden made the decision to shut down Bagram Air Base, to turn over Kabul to the Taliban, and to leave an American force in a besieged airport surrounded by Taliban.
And he made the decision to outsource airport security to the Taliban.
It wasn’t just that Americans who wanted to leave Afghanistan had to get past Taliban checkpoints. The Taliban were the ones checking papers and coordinating on security with our officers.
Taliban commanders were invited into Kabul airport to discuss security arrangements.
When the Taliban beat Americans and shot people, it was because Biden had outsourced security to them.
Biden began claiming that the Taliban would protect us from ISIS-K because they were “sworn enemies”.
But one doesn’t follow from the other.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. That’s especially true when it comes to infidels. Iran coordinated with Al Qaeda on attacking America despite the Sunni-Shiite split. The gap between Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood that the Obama administration counted on in Syria and Libya failed miserably. Most notably in Benghazi.
Islamic Jihadists are our enemy. They’re all our enemies and they will overcome divisions and a desire to kill each other when it means killing us.
Biden counted on the Taliban to keep ISIS-K away from the airport. And the Taliban might indeed fight ISIS-K for their own sake, but the idea that the Taliban would protect Americans from ISIS-K was as pathetically delusional as the attempt to pay off Jihadist militias in Benghazi.
Biden, like Obama, learned nothing about the treasonous folly of appeasing Jihadists. This is the outcome.

Obama and Biden like all ignorant delusional lefties are out of their depth when it comes to Islamic Jihad although there might have been an extra dimension behind the scenes with Obama.
Ray Jarman says
Don’t forget that Obumer grew up in Indonesia and attended a Muslim education system. He never renounced Islam and his only Christian influence was of the satanic preacher White who spewed his hatred for America when he screamed, “God D*** America.” This is hardly one who believed in our Heavenly Father as Christians understand Him to be.
Ray Jarman says
“You were given the choice between war and dishonour. You chose dishonour, and you will have war,” from Winston Churchill to Nevil Chamberlain was right on target and when he stated, ” “Poor Neville Chamberlain believed he could trust with Hitler. He was wrong.” He went further to state that he (Churchill) would never let the world forget. As bad as it was that Chamberlain sold out the Czechs but Biden has sold out his own soldiers. Alexis de Tocqueville stated, “History is a gallery of pictures in which there are few originals and many copies.” Biden and Co. propel the statement to new heights. He should be impeached and forced to stand trial for aiding and abetting the enemy.

“Islamic Jihadists are our enemy. They’re all our enemies and they will overcome divisions and a desire to kill each other when it means killing us.”
It’s hard to believe that so many American’s don’t know this or don’t want to know it.
I am currently rereading Stephen Coughlin’s book “Catastrophic Failure – Blindfolding America in the face of Jihad.” I came across a passage in the first pages reminding me about a statement made by Pentagon Spokesman John Kirby who is still in that position. In a talk broadcast on Al-Jazeera, he referred to observations like this as “warped.” Good grief that was in 2012, here it is 2021 and nothing has changed.

Biden Counted on the Taliban to Protect Kabul Airport From ISIS-K. That Was Treason
……………
Unbelievable. Suicidal insanity.
Roshan says
I was telling about this friend of friend theory to my friend a couple of days back.We both agreed that it was unbelievably naive and stupid.
Clifford Fodor says
And absolutely pathetic.
Infidel says
Actually, Glenn Greenwald had a good explanation why it’s very much in the Taliban’s interests to see that the US leaves smoothly, and that’s not likely to happen as long as such attacks occurred
