I think the Talibans rapid recapture of Afghanistan happening by mid August is more than a coincidence. Were talking about Trump here, the traitor that used Russia to cheat an election, the traitor who blackmailed Ukraine for dirt on Biden. I think MyPillowGuy was in on the plan to have the Taliban retake Afghanistan before Biden could get everyone out. And I guarantee you Trump was dealing with the Taliban in any way to make Biden look bad. Only in Trumps (and his cultists) warped mind would he think that any action by the Taliban to harm America would cause Biden to be ousted from office and Trump reinstated. That doesnt mean Trump wouldnt act on it though. Even MyPillowGuy getting up in a rush from the cyber symposium makes sense now. Trump probably called him to tell him their plan was being executed at the time.

(23,018 posts)Its not like he thought up there plan. And as a plan to reinstate Trump, its quite ridiculous. Im actually highlighting how fucking stupid they are. Stupid and dangerous, willing to fuck up peoples lives for Trumps ego and ambition.

(11,806 posts)"...could get everyone out." The My Pillow guy can't even run a sham Cyber Symposium and you think he has the bandwidth to help organize with the Taliban? Seriously?

(23,018 posts)In fact, I think he cant keep his mouth shut which is why hes been blabbing that Trump would be reinstated. He *thought* with his drug addled brain that the Taliban retaking the country would result in Trump magically being reinstated. Which is why I think its the plausible explanation for him saying that in the first place.

(23,018 posts)Any of the fucked up plans Trump tried to play, including overthrowing the government, before we knew said details of these things. Yes, its theory and speculation. But it does fit Trumps pattern of doing anything to stay in power.

(65,013 posts)If they had acted in mid-August before Biden announced the withdrawal, it would have been interpreted as an attack on the US, not on the Afghan government.
It would have precipitated a response that the Taliban would have avoided at all costs. So, it required the announcement before mobilization.
The crack head & TFG would have had no prior knowledge of the announcement to withdraw, so there was no way to predict when the Taliban would revolt.
Lastly, Lindell is a brain damaged, grifting crack addict. It's far more likely he simply made up August 13 out of thin air.

(23,018 posts)There was no assurance that the Taliban wouldnt attack and in fact it was expected, as many have shown that Hillary predicted this in May after the withdrawal deadline passed.
It was hoped that the Afghani
government would have made the military we trained for them would have stood up against the Taliban but the leaders left the country and the government failed in July leading to the take over.

(65,013 posts)But, that didn't happen.
So, May has nothing to do with this conspiracy theory. Not sure how you could possibly think it does.
Secondly, HRC may have predicted it, but one could have predicted to within a coin flip that they would have attacked before the withdrawal was complete, even in May. Predicting this event was not terribly prescient. The Taliban has never demonstrated trustworthiness.
Biden didn't unilaterally make this decision. The same military experts that were there 10 months ago are there now. Their assessment of readiness & willingness on the part of the Afghan military would not have changed from last August, to May, to now. They were wrong & the advice was bad.
And, all this you wrote about the military & government is a non sequitur with regard to the OP, or my reply.
You haven't begun to address how the idiot king & the crackhead would have known all this. They couldn't find their own noses with a diagram. Now, they're supposed to be conspiring using evidence that would have been secret until the withdrawal was announced.
It seems you're pushing back with little merit, because all you wanted in this thread was people agreeing with your creative speculation.
The fact that it has massive holes seems not to matter.

It doesn't sound like a very workable plan.
