Up until, say, a couple of years ago, I would have thought that
"sabotage" was impossible. But some things have happened that have
opened my mind.
First, there was my book on Vietnam. As you may recall, I concluded,
after months of research involving dozens of sources, that John
F. Kennedy sabotaged the Vietnam war effort. Two major decisions --
first, neutralization of Laos and ceding it to Hanoi, and second,
ousting South Vietnam's strong anti-Communist leader Ngo Dinh Diem,
resulting in Diem's assassination. After these two disastrous
mistakes, the war was lost. This became quite clear in November 1965
at the Battle of Ia Drang, which made it clear how disastrous the
situation was. After months of research, I cannot describe these two
decisions any other way than as intentional sabotage of the Vietnam
War effort by JFK.
In my book, I didn't attempt to delve into JFK's motivations in
sabotaging the Vietnam War effort, other than to suggest that he was
too young to deal with disagreements among the "hawks" and "doves"
that were advising him, who were generally 20 years older than he was
and had a lot more experience.
However, in view of the research and writing I've been doing on the
Democrats and the KKK and how the mass slaughter of blacks in street
violence today is a continuation of the the Democrats' policies as a
continuation of KKK policies today, I see JFK's sabotage of the
Vietnam War effort in a different way.
JFK was a Democrat, and obviously deeply embedded in the Democrat
Party culture that was deeply humiliated and infuriated by losing the
Civil War and having the end of slavery imposed on them. That culture
had spawned the KKK and the Jim Crow laws, and had as its slogan, "The
South will rise again!"
Although President Truman was strongly anti-Communist and created the
Truman Doctrine, Communism became a highly politicized issue in 1954
because of the Army-McCarthy hearings, which were shut down soon after
a Senate Democrat said to Republican Joseph McCarthy "Have you no
sense of decency, sir?" After that, McCarthyism was used synonymously
by Democrats as being anti-Communist.
So JFK became president, and the Vietnam war was forced on him,
probably against his will, because it was another anti-Communist
fight. As I describe in my book, the Vietnam War was pushed on JFK by
the worldwide march of Communism at the time -- the Iron Curtain in
Eastern Europe, the victory of North Korea, and the victory of North
Vietnam. Then, in 1960, there was Fidel Castro's Communist revolution
in Cuba.
So two other factors may have contributed to JFK's desire to sabotage
the Vietnam War effort. One was the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion
in April 1961, which was a losing attempt to defeat Communism in Cuba.
And the other was the Civil Rights Act that Democrats bitterly
opposed, and in fact did not pass until after JFK himself was
assassinated.
So JFK sabotaged the Vietnam war, and did so intentionally.
Now, Joe Biden is in office, and he has adopted one policy after
another to sabotage the United States. These include: open the
border, flood the country with illegal immigrants from 170 countries,
flood the country with Chinese fentanyl and meth, open the prisons,
let violent criminals out of jail, defund the police, destroy black
families, encourage the murder of thousands of young black men by
other black men in Democrat-run cities, close Keystone pipeline then
beg Saudi Arabia for more oil, destroy America's energy independence,
teach racial hatred in school (critical race theory), censor political
opposition, etc.
So now Biden was given the opportunity to destroy the success of
twenty years in Afghanistan, in the same way that JFK was able to
destroy the Vietnam War effort.
So I'm torn between believing that Biden is too stupid and incompetent
to know what's going on, and believing the Biden is in fact quite
competent, and is trying to destroy the United States from within.
I'm leaning more and more to the latter.
In the latter case, DaKardii, you're right that the Afghanistan war
effort was "botched" because of intentional sabotage.
