Combat FlipFops – Aug 14, 2021
The first time I saw you was in the Khyber pass. You came with your technology, elite fighters fueled by revenge, and the hubris to believe you could disprove history.
This was a war that you didn’t have the stomach to fight. But I’m glad you tried.
We bled you the same way we bled the Soviets in our Holy Land. We bled you the same way the Vietnamese bled you in their home land. We did it patiently and deliberately.
Patience. Something Westerners never learn.
Our history is millennial. We don’t yearn for an early victory when the Infidel ravages our Holy Land. Our victory is celebrated decades from now. We’ve endured, then ravaged every standing military that crossed our borders. Why? How? We’re patient.
In 30 days, we’ll be stronger, richer, and have control over precious natural resources that you need for your pathetic life dictated by comfort. We will have women, riches, land, guns, and ownership of one of the greatest chapters in military history.
You lose.
If you want to try again, we welcome the challenge. You will fail regardless of how much money you burn in our deserts. For pity, here is free advice that may contribute to your future success; should you ever decide to invade again.
You recruit your warriors and supporters from a drug addicted, distracted, disillusioned population that’s obsessed with comfort and entertainment. A population obsessed with altering their mundane reality. Alcohol, marijuana, pills, and our new favorite — Tide Pods. Every time your doctors prescribe opiate painkillers, you line our coffers with gold. Your population’s thirst for our pristine heroin has never been more lucrative for our warrior tribes. We will keep feeding you poison for as long as you keep your hands out.
If your population wasn’t so spineless, undisciplined, and self-loathing, then you might be able to compile a raiding party with enough tenacity to outthink ours.
Our fighters are born into war. Raised in it. It’s a way of life that evades your “first world” nations. They live a life of such immense misery and pain that they’re willing to fight barefoot in the snow for the opportunity to martyr themselves. They yearn for the opportunity to die. When they do have the blessed opportunity to sacrifice themselves, they sit above Mohammed at the right hand of God. Blessed in Allah for eternity
What honors do your fighters receive? Their empty sacrifice is remembered in the form of a “three day weekend.” The majority of your population uses this sacred time to get drunk and grow more fat as a way to celebrate their fallen warriors. Sadly, we pay tribute to their death more honorably.
The colored pieces of cloth you pin on their chests are similar to the jewelry worn by our women. What good are accolades and vanity if you don’t have the stomach to endure a fight? We don’t offer the burden of healthcare to our fighters as they often want to die for Allah. Your fighters fight to live. Their inability to reconcile the inevitable outcome of our patience leads them to kill themselves. Your medications, counselors and non-profits will never undo the pain and suffering you’ve forced them to endure. It will never remove the pain we’ve caused your broken nation. You are your own worst enemy.
We will give your fighters credit. Some are creative, tenacious, and fierce. They outgun us in every way possible. But again, we simply wait them out. Allah is patient. You cycle them through our Holy Lands every 3 to 12 months for their combat rotations. After their tour is complete, they return to the comfort of their warm beds and endless entertainment. If you left them here, in our Holy Land, with no way out but to win, then you might of have had a chance of success. The longer you poisoned our Holy Land with your presence, your “rules of engagement” only strengthened our position. There is only one rule in war – that is to win.
Your commanders made you fight with your hands tied behind your back. Your rules also confused our fighters too. “We’re clearly the enemy; why are they letting us go?” Thank you for your compassion as it allowed our fighters to kill more Infidels. We began to feel as if your commanders were on our side. We’re thankful your most vicious dogs were never allowed off their leash.
Your showcase Generals make us laugh. You spend millions of dollars flying them around our country, inventing new ways to win while ignoring the guidance of our most capable foes. Your Generals make decisions to minimize risk to their fragile reputation with the ultimate goal of securing a lucrative retirement–jobs with suppliers that fuel your losing force. A self-serving circle that’s built on the backs of your youngest and most naive fighters.
Your retired Generals “earn” tens of thousands of dollars talking to your political, industrial, and financial leaders about “teams, winning, and discipline.” It’s a mockery of the war they refused to fight. It’s a mockery of the Infidel warriors who died in our lands. We urge you to continue following their vacuous personalities so we can further watch your once great nation collapse.
Your statesman and elected officials are spineless, narcissistic, and more cowardly than your Generals. They crave power over you above all else. They come to our country, hide behind blast walls, and only heed the word of the indigenous leader they put in power. I believe your soldiers call this a “self licking ice cream cone.”
They’ve burned billions of dollars in a wasted effort to bring clean water, electricity, business, education, agriculture, and exports to a region that didn’t ask for it. You should have saved yourself the effort and simply given the money directly to us. Don’t worry; your diplomatic friends gave us plenty of your American tax dollars. If you want to give it another shot with your “soft power,” send those with real experience, not fancy degrees and silver tongues.
Over the next few months, we will make the world understand that you failed worse than any fighting force that’s ever invaded our lands. Today we celebrate victory.
As you evacuate your embassy, our fighters will be standing in the shade. Our RPG marksmen will be patient. We thank you for the parting gifts. You’ll find surface-to-air missiles staged in the back of Toyota pickup trucks that you purchased for us.
We saw what Extortion 17 did to your nation and the morale of your fighting force. Do your citizens even remember that victory? We’ll be repeating and improving upon our victory while your citizens and sympathizers evacuate in disgrace. Every one of your foes around the world will know exactly how to break you.
You are welcome to fly your empty drones, target our cell phones, and send your spies. But they, too, will ultimately fail. We’ll use their failures to show the world that you’re not all-powerful. You’re a false front–an empty shell. You lie, cheat, steal, and are easily defeated because you lack the spine to fight. This is your history now. We’re grateful Allah gave us the opportunity to show the world how to defeat the Infidels.
We look forward to seeing you again across the battlefield.
Praise be to God,
The Taliban
***Authors’ Note***
If you’ve read this far. Thank you. I’ve spent the past week trying to find a way to communicate this to the American people in a manner that would cause anger, rage, action, and understanding. Writing in the voice of a Taliban felt right.
If this made you angry, cry, or contemplative–then our goal is achieved. Our hope is that it inspires you to take action with your elected officials. They’ve been repeating the same failing playbook since World War II with your sons, daughters, and tax dollars. If you want this to keep happening, do nothing. If you don’t, then do something. If we all do a little, together we do a lot.

The West simply doesn’t understand what it’s up against.
Only the East understands war. To the West, war is a short-term game. To the East, it’s war to the bitter end, however long it takes.
The East will accept unlimited casualties if it means the complete extermination of the enemy. They then have unlimited time to rebuild.
This is why Israel fears China more than anything else. This is why their American proxy is being pushed into war with China.
They understand each other. Only the dumb Westerners don’t get it.
The US never intended to win in Afghanistan. If you do simple math, land area, population and US/coalition forces deployed, it becomes clear that at best, this was an imperial presence.
The UKs first deployment was 5000 military, of that contingent, only 800 were combat troops. The rest were signals, Intel and cooks. The mission was more about ensuring the drugs business continued.
The current Taliban leader (I can’t be bothered with his name) & apparent leader of Afghanistan was in Guantanamo Bay. I’m sure his grey matter was rearranged and he was prepared for his current role and then we have Trump’s deal with the Taliban.
The current farce has taken place in August. This is the classic political and fake news funny month where they leak silly stories, misleading stories and sometimes, stories that are more truthful than they would publish at other times of the year because they know most sheeple are on holiday.
So IMHO, everything we see and hear in the fake news is scripted. The chaos, the replicated Sigon departure, this is all a bit of deep state fun. The books will be out in October & the movies out sometime in 2022.
The fake news tells us that Biden’s ratings have fallen to a new presidential low. The fact is, 99% of Amerikan sheeple couldn’t find Afghanistan on a map, 80% couldn’t find bankrupt Britain!
The most alarming aspect that I can deduce is that when a power/waning superpower removes substantial forces, intel resources & political will, they have an increases interest in another theater. China looks like the most likely target in my opinion.
With the US/Tailban deal on one side and China’s interest on the other, I’ve no idea how this will play out. I read that Afghanistan has resources worth trillions of US$’s. The US was in Afghanistan for 20yrs and they had no serious interest in these resourses, why? Because the markets are rigged & if China were to gets its shovel in Afghanistan, this will take a decade to develope, & I suspect the US expects a clash with China in less than a decade.
As to past Brexit bankrupt Britain which has embarked on its 2nd Imperialist wind, the US has let the public school boys down. They’ve been ‘excluded’ from one of their playing fields. lol
George W Bush called himself the War President, presumably because he dodged one war and started another. When he had the chance to serve in Vietnam and prove he’s a badass, not only did he dodge the draft he dodged the dodge. To try and prove he served his time in the Texas National Guard instead of going AWOL because daddy was the boss of the CIA and he could get away with it, the Bush regime released records of his dental appointments, I guess to show he was somewhere in the Deep South at that time. But why not just release his service records? Is it because they don’t exist?
Bush is responsible for the crime that is Afghanistan. To take his mind off what he’s done he paints, and tho’ I think his art is good and some’s worth buying, art can never atone for the atrocities his war led to.
Of course….Afghanistan could have been defeated simply by targeting food sources and production.This in turn would have caused mass starvation…or used tactical nuclear weapons.
BUT THE POINT WAS NEVER TO WIN THE WAR AT ALL.
INCIDENTLY….”Chapman ” is usually a jewish surname….which COULD be relevant here??.
Writing in the voice of a Taliban feels right? I bet it DOES, sugar-puss. Can I call you Matt and Scotty? Writing in the voice of a Rabbi/Christian minister would simply be distasteful and loaded with fundamentalist rhetoric. What is this crap? If you Americans were not so God (cheese be upon him) damned stupid, you would be able to see a patently obvious controlled demolition for what it is. Too God (fleece be upon him) damned stupid to realize that the American military industrial complex has NO problem invoking aforementioned ‘anger’ and ‘rage’.
Too late sugar-puss!
THE SAME NATURE ARE THE
CHINESE + RUSSIANS !
PATIENCE
Ha ha ha! And the whole spiel was written by Matthew Griffin, US Military Academy Graduate, Army Ranger, Combat Veteran, bla bla bla, and Scott Chapman, Army Ranger Fire Team Leader from Alpha Company 2/75th Rangers, bla, bla, bla. And to what end?…
“Our hope is that it inspires you to take action with your elected officials. They’ve been repeating the same failing playbook since World War II with your sons, daughters, and tax dollars. If you want this to keep happening, do nothing. If you don’t, then do something. If we all do a little, together we do a lot.”
Seriously?
As I have opined in a previous post… The ‘war’ in Afghanistan has been a unqualified success. It’s lasted longer than the war in Vietnam. Far longer. It has plunged the Dis-Uniting States into ever more GARGANTUAN levels of debt. It has dismembered and dissembled yet another generation of callow American youths. And it has brought chaos and tragedy to everyone in its wake. As foretold by Georgette Botch the Lesser, in the wake of the Mossad-inspired ‘tragic’ events of IXXI.
It has brought the world one step closer to Klaus ‘Anal’ Schwab’s vision of a New Werld Ordure. A Tikkun Olam. A … GREAT RESET!
The war was NEVER about a-fightin’ ‘terworwism’. Just as the Vietnam war was NEVER about fightin’ ‘commooonism’. Both wars were designed to drain the blood, literal and monetary, of Amerika the Brave. And to safeguard the herion supply. A supply which is VITAL to the Central Banksterin’ Cabal. In order to service the gargantuan debt levels clocked up by their rapacious, endlessly greedy, usurious, debt-based monetary system.
As mentioned … what’s gonna happen to the beautiful poppy fields? The poppy fields the US troops have been guarding for the last 20 years!…

What’s gonna happen to tha poppy fields?!
You can be SURE the fix is in. The ‘Taliban’ or whatever they are, are continuing to service the debt. It is perhaps the ONLY thing continuing to prop up the house of cards which IS the international central banksterin’ system.
Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing?
Where have all the flowers gone, long time ago?

Young girls have picked them everyone
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Ratchild: Since 1945 & the downfall of Nazi Germany, we control the world. Thanks for delivering it to us. We must maintain & hide behind the facade of ‘nations’ & war to conceal our power & identity. The USA funds & arms its own ‘enemies’ like Isis or the Taliban. Its like playing chess against oneself, as we advance towards greater TechnoCommunist control..
So… should we change our name from America to JewStan now? Shoulda done that around 1945, eh?
Change my mind.
The Protocols says there would be no territorial gains in the Gentile wars, so we never have real ones, just PR exercises.
Gloating on someone else’s behalf is doubly unpleasant.
@ ANONYMOUS
ERROR
the jews dont fear the chinese . they are as slick +
cunning like them. gave them US patents, gave them
HAIFA (took precaution mininuking Beirut harbour
competitor) . rothschild, netanjahu, kissinger, soros,
bill gates, fauci, klaus schwab + many more money-
jews are in bed with china . you USA already have
lost any war before it begins !
@ Ghost, can,t change your mind you are 100% correct as is Nico X
Gen. Patton was going to expose it all, but we all know what happened
to the brave General. at nuremberg of 99 prosecution lawyers 98
where jewish the one gentile resigned in disgust with the proceedings
and the outright corruption, defendants were not allowed a lawyer to
defend them were,nt allowed to present evidence, to call it a kangaroo
court is a massive slur against all kangaroos.
the evil ones hatched there thoroughly bogus hollowhoax fairy tale
at nuremberg while these sham trials were going on, the bolshevics
knew to keep designated “extermination” camps behind their iron
curtain / border, the west did,nt get access to these camps until well
after the narrative had been set
Most so true.
I would just like to receive emails or at least know how to receive The Truth Seekers article , etc.
A very thought provoking article. However, I’m not so sure the reference to poppy fields would come from them. After all, those fields did not return into prominence until the Allies invaded the land. It is other infidels who profited from them.
