Biden Admin Now Claims Americans in Afghanistan Will Be Evacuated

If the Biden Adminstration is being transparent, then Americans still stranded in Afghanistan might be relieved to hear the adminstration is claiming they now have the resources to remove all the remaining Americans.

While it is hoped by some, including especially those abandoned by the US, that maybe this is true, it hasn’t the ring of truth. The US has no leverage over the crazed terrorist Mullahs and no way to protect anything or anyone in country on the ground.

President Biden kept his promise to the terrorists, whom his policies armed, but he broke his promise to Americans and our Afghan partners when he said the US wouldn’t physically leave until they were all evacuated. Now the goal post moves and the situation becomes more dire.

U.S. has capacity to evacuate remaining Americans from Afghanistan, officials say

WASHINGTON — The United States has the capacity to evacuate the approximately 300 U.S. citizens remaining in Afghanistan who want to leave before President Joe Biden’s Tuesday deadline, senior Biden administration officials said Sunday, as another U.S. drone strike against suspected Islamic State militants underscored the grave threat in the war’s final days.

“This is the most dangerous time in an already extraordinarily dangerous mission these last couple of days,” America’s top diplomat, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, said not long before confirmation of that airstrike in Kabul, the capital.

The evacuation flow of Americans kept pace even as a new State Department security alert, issued hours before the military action, instructed people to leave the airport area immediately “due to a specific, credible threat.”

Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan said that for those U.S. citizens seeking immediately to…

China notifies new rules to regulate foreign ships in its waters

Excerpt:

 

In a bid to regulate foreign ships, China on Sunday notified new maritime rules warranting vessels carrying radioactive materials, bulk oil, chemicals and a host of other supplies to report the details of the cargos upon their entry into Chinese waters.

The new rules are expected to increase tensions if China strictly enforces them in the disputed South China Sea and the Taiwan straits where the US and its allies have been conducting naval expeditions, challenging Beijing’s claims to assert the freedom of navigation.

Beijing claims almost all of the 1.3 million square-mile South China Sea as its sovereign territory. China has been building military bases on artificial islands in the region also claimed by Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam.

According to a notice from China’s maritime safety authorities issued over the weekend, operators of submersibles, nuclear vessels, ships carrying radioactive materials and ships carrying bulk oil, chemicals, liquefied gas…

The Army Is Preparing to Reveal Its New Missile Defense System

Excerpt:

 

Fighter-jet-mounted guns, air-dropped bombs, ship-launched interceptor missiles, and ground-fired air defenses can only be as effective as the accuracy and timeliness of their targeting intelligence, a simple, known reality becoming increasingly pressing and relevant as the Pentagon surges ahead with its multi-domain networking strategy.

As part of this networking strategy, the Army is accelerating development of its Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System (IBCS). The system consists of a collection of radars, fire control systems, weapons, and targeting nodes connected to one another to seamlessly share time-sensitive data in real-time. IBCS, which recently shot down several cruise missile targets in a live-fire test, is slated to become operational next year.

If an F-35 fighter jet is in position to attack an enemy ship first located by ground-based radar or ship-integrated targeting sensors, then targeting details need to be identified and transmitted in…

Iran’s Bet on Autonomous Weapons

Attempting to pass off a child’s astronaut costume as an innovation of Iran’s space agency was bizarre but familiar. Shared online by Minister of Information and Communications Technology Azari Jahromi in February 2020, the fit-for-Halloween suit exemplified the Iranian government’s penchant for fabricating technical achievements, whether through farcical stealth fighter jets, fake space monkeys, or oil drum surface-to-air missiles.

Iran’s history of shameless exaggeration leaves plenty of reason for skepticism when the nation’s military unveils new capabilities or when Iranian officials announce ambitious technological goals, as they did earlier this year. In a widely publicized January exercise, the Iranian Army…

After the Bombing, Refugees Have Begun Flying Out of Kabul Again

Evacuation Flights Resume in Kabul After Deadly Bombings

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Evacuation flights from Afghanistan resumed with new urgency on Friday, a day after two suicide bombings targeted the thousands of desperate people fleeing the Taliban takeover. The U.S. says further attempted attacks are expected ahead of the Tuesday deadline for foreign troops to leave, ending America’s longest war.

Kabul residents said several flights took off Friday morning, while footage shared by a local Tolo TV correspondent showed the anxious crowd outside the airport as large as ever.

Thursday’s bombings near Kabul’s international airport killed at least 60 Afghans and 13 U.S. troops, Afghan and U.S. officials said, in the deadliest day for U.S. forces in Afghanistan since August 2011. In an emotional speech, President Joe Biden blamed the Islamic State group’s Afghanistan affiliate, far more radical than the Taliban militants who seized power less than two weeks ago.

“We will rescue the Americans; we will get our Afghan allies out,…

American Rheinmetall Vehicles has announced a partnership with US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Armaments Centre (DEVCOM AC) to conduct a series of R&D efforts.

The collaboration, dubbed Master Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA), will allow DEVCOM and Rheinmetall to leverage their respective expertise to develop integrated combat vehicle weapons, fire control and ammunition technologies.

Rheinmetall said the efforts will include, but will not be limited to, digital engineering, modelling and simulation, and prototyping and testing.

The partners emphasised how the CRADA will enable exploration of integrating the US Army’s XM913 50mm cannon onto platforms currently competing for the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV) programme.

The 50mm XM913 chain gun is an experimental, modern version of the Northrop Grumman <a…

The Iraqi insurgent group Qasim al-Jabarin is claiming responsibility for a series of seven attacks on US Military caravans in Iraw over the last week.  The result of the attacks did not lead to any US deaths, but they disrupoted the flow of supplies.

24 de agosto de 2021, 16:43Baghdad, Aug 24 (Prensa Latina) The insurgent Qasim al-Jabarin group claimed on Tuesday seven attacks against seven US military caravans in Iraq, according to the Saberin news website.

Two of the actions took place in the Al-Diwaniyah province, two others in Babylon, another in the capital district of Yusufiyah, while the rest occurred in the provinces of Al Muhatna and Dhi Qar.

Recently, the harassment of US interests in that country escalated with bombs set off as vehicles passed by, loaded with military logistics.

Those caravans enter Iraq from the Syrian border in the west or through Kuwait in the south.

Iraqi irregular groups consider the US troops as occupiers who frequently violate sovereignty and disrespect local laws.

The rejection of Americans increased in tone after the assassination by US aircraft of the Iranian General Qassem Soleimani and the Deputy Commander of the Popular Mobilization Units, Abu Mahdi al-Mohandes.

Analysts Believe Ethiopia is Using Iranian Drones in Battle for Tigray

Ethiopia is in the middle of a civil war in the region of Tigray, which also includes foreign troop invasions by its neighhbor, Eritrea.  In response, Ethiopia is using drones to comabt the ‘insurrectionists’ and those drones appear to be Iranian drones, the Mohajer-6 drone to be exact.  This drone cut its teeth, in part, over the skies of Libya and Syria.

Citing images shared on the internet, several media outlets have reported that the Ethiopian National Defence Force is using Iranian-made Mohajer-6 combat unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as it fights a civil war.

Who took the photos remains unknown. However, they show the Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed visiting an airport with what appears to be the drone in the background. The fact-checking website Bellingcat and some open-source researchers independently geo-located the images, indicating that they were taken at the government-controlled Semara Airport.

Semara is the capital city of the country’s Afar province, which abuts the Tigray region where government forces are battling the anti-government Tigray Defense Forces (TDF).

Coming Soon, Women Being Drafted for War in America

The Senate Armed Services Committee approved a proposed language change to the Selective Service law from men being required to sign up for the potential draft to men AND women being required to sign up for the potential draft, the writing is on the wall for American women.  You too will be drafted if the DNC has its way, in the name of ‘equality.’

The Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday approved a language change in the $768 billion National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would expand the “Selective Service”—the oxymoronically named requirement under threat of imprisonment for 18-year-old males to submit their names to a national registry of potential military conscripts—to include the female of the species.

As Ella Lubell noted here yesterday, among those cheering this development is the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), whose lawsuit challenging the male-only draft was denied a hearing last month by a Supreme Court that nonetheless signaled its potential interest should Congress decline to change the law. “Men-only registration actually impedes women’s full participation in civic life,” the ACLU maintains.

It’s worth pausing on that logic, particularly in light of what that “L” stands for. Is “participation” really the right word to describe being coerced by the state…
