Truth Bomb by OVD : Afghanistan's predictable end

 Hey Everyone,

  So one of the news stories your probably seeing these days is the collapse of the Pro-western Afghan government and military force. You'll hear all these reporters "shocked" how quickly the Taliban has re-taken the country. They will hint at the fact they believe we shouldn't have left. 

  This is all bullshit. First and foremost we never should have tried to occupy Afghanistan. Most of the Special Forces and even the CIA were against that move as Afghanistan has a history of bogging down Empires and crushing them. Secondly...the Taliban was in power before we got there. Whether we agree or not that's what the Afghan people wanted for a government. Thirdly the Afghans we put in power were for the most part corrupt officials and  Heroin traffickers. They never represented the Afghan people and were barely better than the Taliban and only because we were looking over their shoulder the whole time. Lastly the Trump administration not only announced their withdrawal but gave a time table so the Taliban could set up their plans for retaking the country knowing their only opposition would be local and easily defeated.  The Afghan Military doesn't even know what they were fighting for. So it should come as no surprise how rapidly they are retaking their own country. 

  We have wasted 20 years, trillions of dollars, thousands of American lives and help the opioid epidemic start. The CIA now imports Heroin to pay for their black ops instead of cocaine.  And have ZERO to show for it. Why try and send troops back or continue this "war" at all. It's not only pointless but costs us dearly. The should evac the entire Embassy and remaining guards and call it done. If they start building terrorist training camps in Afghanistan again...we can do what we should have, instead of invading and take them out with bombs from the air or a special forces raid. Yes it really is that simple.

    This is definitely a hot fn mess. But as someone who's not military can I ask how the hell the Taliban ends up with all our surplus over there? Why do the Afghans not have it, are the Taliban taking it from them, thanks Otto..Maria

      It always was going to be a hot mess and why we never should have invaded. Remember the Taliban controlled the country before...it should come as no shock that they took it all back the second we pulled out. As for the gear...it was given to the Afghani Defense forces and the abandoned it...the second we left. A total waste of time, money, lives and resources

Truth Bomb By OVD : Ukraine (Proxy) War updaye

 Hey Everyone,   So the war in Ukraine has been bloody but not much has happened the last month in regards to land controlled by either side. The HIMARS are doing serious damage to Russian command and supplies and they only have 4 of them. The Russians said they took them out but that has been proven to be a lie. The only reason Ukraine isn't dominating and taking their land back is the west isn't supplying enough. It's obvious the west IS considering this a Proxy war. That means their goal is to bleed Russia by keeping the war going. This is why the Ukrainians are not getting enough support. I warned of this but now it's clear that it is the case now.    There is talk of giving them 30 HIMARS and F-15's, F-16's, F-18's(Hornets are used by the USMC like the A-10's) and A-10's. But it's just talk and these will require training. Maybe next year is what I'm hearing. Thousands of Ukrainians will die because of these delay's. Also if the Repu

Truth Bomb By OVD: Ukraine war update

 Hey Everyone,   So the front lines haven't moved much but the fighting is fierce along the whole line. It's still winter but spring is around the corner so both sides are gearing up for spring offenses. The newly promised Tanks from the west still haven't arrived and there isn't enough of them to make a difference. The Russians are losing thousands of Troops but their real purpose will be seen soon enough. You have to understand Russian war doctrine to see what the real Russian plan is. So lets talk about that. The Russians throughout history have used the same playbook. They invade or instigate a war thinking they will win fast. Then they lose badly as their forces are poorly trained and corruption ensures they are poorly equipped. They respond just like they are now by conscripting massive amounts of men and plugging the holes and holding the line. The second unsaid part of that is these conscripts are also being used to keep pressure on their enemy and use up their

Truth Bomb by OVD : Personal update

 Hey everyone,   If anyone is even still reading this...My feeling of isolation is getting bad. Really bad. Being cut off from Facebook was bad enough. I haven't heard from a lot of friends from real life for more than a year now. Twitter helped and I made some new friends and was able to connect to a bunch of fellow Veterans. That's gone now too. So now I kind of drift from day to day with little to no contact with the outside world. It's demoralizing to say the least. I'm down right depressed and don't see any future for myself anymore. I've always been a very social person and now I have no way to reach anyone but this and the numbers of people that even read this anymore has dwindled to a couple. Soon I'll probably stop bothering with this either.    My pain levels are through the roof. I got only an hour of sleep last night(and why I'm typing this at 5 am. Pain meds and pot cookies combined didn't help. My left leg is now starting to get as bad
