Kids die last: Humbled US Leaves Chaos, Mass Murder while Fleeing Afghanistan The US invaded Afghanistan in 9/2001 allegedly to hunt down Al Qaeda. After dropping that idea midway into accomplishing it, the goal switched to ousting the Taliban government and destroying the Taliban which had nothing to do with 9-11. In the end the US, with the worlds most powerful and advanced military lost its war against a rag-tag force of fighters armed with AKs and IEDs, writes TCBH journalist Dave Lindorff

Why Did the Afghan Army Fold So Fast? Because They had Nothing to Fight For While the US surely could have gone in and '"taken out" Al Qaeda and its leader Bin Laden had they wanted to but that the decision by the Bush/Cheney administration to turn that invasion into a longer term project ousting the Taliban and building a democratic country was a fool's errand.

Petulance as foreign policy: Bomber Biden Sends in B-52 Bombers in a Tantrum over Taliban Advance The US has lost its 20-year, $2.3 billion war on Afghistan, defeated as in Vietnam 47 years ago, by ordinary, uneducated fighters defending their country using rifles and improvised explosives against the mightiest imperial power the world has ever known. In response to losing, President Biden is bombing the country with B-52 bombers and murderous gunships -- an incredible act of impotent bluster that won't change anything.

The tipping points are arriving: A Nighttime Walk without Bugs or Bats eck out your streetlights at night. Where you used to see cloucds of insects flying around you'll see nothing, or very few, writes TCBH! journalist Dave Lindorff. That is a dangerous tipping point that explains why bats and most birds have vanished: starvation and it's a grim sign for humanity's future.

US Beyond Shameless in Decrying Belarus' Forcing Down of Passenger Plane to Nab Journalist Critic Hyprocrisy they name is Blinken. Sure Belarus's dictator Alexander Lukashenko broke international law when he sent fighter planes to force down a Ryanair passenger jet so he could nab a media critic, but Secretary of State Blinken, in 2013, helped Pres. Obama to pressure European allies to force down a presidential plane carrying Bolivia's Evo Morales in Austria where it was searched in hopes of nabbine Edward Snowden.

Children of color appear to be fair game for too many cops: No More Police Killings of Kids! Police (most of them white) are killing kids of color six times as often as white kids, and at twice the disparity by which they shoot and kill adults of color (three times whites). It's time for this racist slaughter to be stopped, and for the cop-killing of all kids to end, writes TCBH! journalist Dave Lindorff!

Who's the US to demand Russia free anyone?: Back to Cold War 2.0 with Biden and 'Diplomacy-Favoring' Secretary Blinken Claims that the new Biden administration wants to end the bluster and militarism and turn towards diplomacy to solve issues appear to be overblown, judging by not his neolib appointees, but by what his new Sec. of State is doing, right out of the box, writes TCBH! journalist Dave Lindorff
