Afghanistan
Taliban's mocking Iwo Jima propaganda image tells us who they are
2021-08-23
Thoughts on this story from yesterday.


[AMERICANTHINKER] The Army of North Vietnam had Jane Fonda.

Fonda was a willing useful idiot to them and their propaganda and had a grand old time gleefully bouncing up and down on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun used to shoot down American fighters. That image was catnip to the communists, but sickening to Americans, and the putrid image reverberated for decades.

But not even those masters of propaganda, burning with hate for the U.S., could top the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
, which must have spent months brainstorming to come up with crap like this:

They've got quite a propaganda operation, state of the art, really, and imagine what they've got for us come 9/11.

Apparently the image has been out there since late July, first run by the U.K, Sun, but it's gotten out now, a painful reminder that senile Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. The guy who lost Afghanistan, aka Biden's Bungle...
and his clown lieutenants have handed the Taliban billions of dollars of state-of-the-art American equipment, and a $700 million embassy as the Taliban runs circles around the Americans trying to leave the country, blocking 10,000 American citizens' entry to the Kabul airport to evacuate, accompanied by beatings, and the odd spray of machine gun fire in the huge, desperate crowd on the outside. They defeated us, as at least one Biden official reportedly said, in what was a self-inflicted own-goal on our side. And now they're twisting the knife on us as well as making a bid for new recruits.

Which rather tells us that the Biden-created catastrophe is far from over. The terrorists, at least so long as Biden is around, have "won" and winning a whole country is not enough for them, they also need to dance around and stomp on our most sacred images to keep the party going.

The idea of course, is sadistic pleasure in our pain across the board, not just to America's brave veterans of the Afghanistan war, but to American troops from every war, and Americans in general.

Imagine what World War II veterans, who fought and died in the most desperate warlike conditions and eventually won, must be feeling when they see that grotesque clown parody, done up by slimy bully boyz who did nothing at all to win except for wait for the Biden administration (aka the Wilmington comorra)
...knaves, footpads, and adjusters employed by the Biden Crime Family. They leave a trail of havoc everywhere they turn their attention, be it the nation's borders, the Keystone XL Pipeline, or epidemics, sometimes on purpose, most times through sheer arrogant ineptitude. They learnt this stuff in college, you know...
to destroy itself, putting on captured American uniforms as war booty, and putting out this garbage propaganda to claim that they, too, have "won."

#5  Watching the military leadership dudes in dresses trying to outperform Gary Busey in Under Siege makes this look like snark, and not very good snark.

Somebody, who - like everybody else in the World - grew up watching American movies?

#1  I wonder if they understand that three of the six flag raisers were killed in action on Iwo.
