For me there is another issue here with Mr. Farthing and his rescue cats & dogs.

When they get to the UK, he will most likely be setting up a centre in the UK.

I know that there are many people who are desperate to adopt one of his cats or dogs, now many will be genuine, but there will sadly be some people who can't wait to post a photo on their facebook page of their Afghan rescue dog, in other words look at me, look at me, look at me.

 

But more importantly, there are thousands of cats & dogs in rescue centres up and down the UK, who are desperate for a new loving home, and every Afghan rescue cat & dog which gets re-homed is potenially one less cat or dog currently in rescue centres that misses out and doesn't get re-homed.

Most rescue centres which are charities anyway are financially on their knees, they had to completely shut during lockdowns, but the animals still needed fed and looked after, no money at all was coming in, yet Mr. Farthing puts out an appeal and raises over £200,000 in a matter of days, must be wonderful to be able advertise your plight on every TV channel going.

Well its 6'30pm, just took my nightly laxative, listened for 20 minutes to Hannity. Of course he is asking what is Sleepy Joe doing, he's an old man with cognitive difficulties, constantly on vacation in Delaware, should be removed from the presidency, a common shout on his nightly program, he interviewed the Vic e President of Afghanistan, and reports that the President flew out with  six carloads of millions and millions of dollars. He discussed with the Vice that they can in some valley take on the Taliban and rearm former soldiers and  defeat them. I guess its age causes strange memories did Afghanistan who fought man for man with NATO forces, and were considered good, did that army, not drop their weapons in defeat in hours after the Treaty kicked in and Taliban had Afghanistan. Now he is again advocating some American force into Afghanistan, of course he has to inject again a tirade about as he refers to him Joes inadequacies, why did Joe let it get to this stage. Why did Trump who h ad a full four years in Office, not seven months as Biden has had not use his oft suggested  something like the world's never seen, and finish the whole thing. I again opine that his full rhetoric Is used to convince that Biden is useless, and there is only one saviour that has the nerve, the tactics and the will to commit many thousand of young American lives to carry out a task that he when having the opportunity did not answer the call. 

 

I recently heard someone on one of the news shows comment America has never lost a war we have the greatest and mightiest army in the world. Ahem, Sir you got your ass kicked out of Viet Nam remember the helicopters over the Embassy in Hanoi. Sir you have never facd the Russian Army in direct conflict, and Sir I would suggest that the Chinese army may not be the greatest but they have numbers, and numbers that are spared to sacrifice. I have spoken to both British

and Canadian vets who fought in Korea, and the image of those Chinese literally by the thousands charging was terrifying.

 

Again I say watch out for something drastic in the U.S. in the near future, Trump is doing interviews, making comments to favoured reporters and there is something in the wind, and no that noise is not farts its Trump blowing smoke.

 

Here endeth the three thousand nine hundred and forty sixth lesson. God bless you my children.

Daily Tail 👍👍

 

A re-homed animal is a re-homed animal at the end of the day. Where it's from is redundant. 

 

If the existing UK rescue centres made it a bit more easy to adopt their animals it might alleviate their issue. I looked into adopting a cat recently and they wanted me to have them come round during the working day to inspect my property as if it may be unsuitable for a cat, despite suitable for a human to live in. Hopefully this guy makes it over here and his cats are less picky, I might adopt one of them. UK cats are too snobby.

Any decent rescue centre will always put the welfare of the animal first, for all they know you could live on the 10th floor of a tower block or already have several dogs or a houseful of cats which you haven't mentioned, that's why a home visit is needed, it's as much to check you out as well as the surroundings for the new pet.

Mr. Farthing will most probably apply the same criteria as UK rescue centres, in fact probably even stricter, because of all the publicity, the media probably more local than national, is going to take an interest of who is adopting these animals, simply because it makes a human interest story.

You would have thought that the 'G7' countries would have had a plan A and at least a plan B for winding down after 20 years? 

I suspect they thought there would be a breathing space so to speak in which the Afghans would at least contain the Taliban. It took a couple of years after the US ending participation in Vietnam before the government they left behind fell resulting in the famous evacuation of Saigon.

My greatest memories of that are video images of US military personnel pushing helicopters off the deck of an aircraft carrier into the sea so more could land, unload, then be dumped too.

And a famous or notorious video of a South Vietnamese policeman executing a man in the street with a shot to the back of the head while kneeling.  The man was an early arriving lone rebel.

Most probably exactly this.

 

I'd think the plan would have been something like this, after the US troops withdrew, then the people who needed to get out would have done so via commercial flights as most had been doing anyway since April.  A stable Afghan government & military would buy at least another 6 months to a year to get everyone out, including the folks in remote locations.

 

But that plan went out the window when the Afghan government & military collapsed, resulting in what we have seen over the last two weeks.

 

Mistakes have been made, of that there is no doubts, but a huge amount of praise has to be paid to the US & the UK forces for managing to get out over 100,000 people from one airfield in only two weeks.

 

Should never have had to do it in the first place, but it is what it is and they have done imo a bloody good job under the circumstances.

[VALDOS']

Overall these last few weeks have been utterly shameful and cowardly by the US and the UK Governments.

20 years and countless lives lost and it's all gone within a fortnight.

 

As the rats have been lured from they're hiding holes in recent weeks, there was never a better opportunity to go in harder than ever.

 

You have to wonder what consequences this will bring over the coming years. What we do know though, with absolute certainty, we will be back there within the next 5 to 10.

Is it putting the welfare first though? They instead stay in a rescue centre and in some cases eventually get put down. A quick look at your address or a check on street view will ascertain whether you live in a tower block or not. If they want to scope the potential adoptee out then have a quick video call. All it does is encourage people to get a puppy or a kitten or buy privately where it's much worse for animal welfare. It should be easier to adopt than to get 'new', it isn't and as such there will always be more and more animals that need re-homed in a self perpetuating cycle.

 

Off topic I know but it's just madness. A random stranger coming to check you and your house out to pass judgement on whether you can house a homeless pet when you can get a new pet privately or even have a kid without any checks on your skillset and housing situation.

I’m no expert on counter terrorism but is it wise to carry out a retaliation attack before everyone has been evacuated? Or is the thinking that it will stop anything happening over the next couple of days?

Seeing as there is an evacuation still on-going then yes it would have probably been wiser to wait until after it had finished.

However the US public expect immediate retaliation and that's exactly what they got.

Heard an interesting interview with a US military historian the other day.

He was on about that Biden will get the blame because it's happened on his watch, even although it's Trumps bad deal, but you can go further back to two key decisions made by George W. Bush, the first was the 2003 invasion of Iraq, which diverted massive resources away from Afghanistan and allowed the Taliban off the hook and the chance to re-group, the other really bad decision was to try nation building in Afghanistan, the US should have been out of the country by 2007, but excuse after excuse was made to keep troops there, and that has led to the mess that we are seeing now.

 

But he wasn't finished, because he said the whole mess of the last 20 years and the last two weeks in particular, can be traced back to a decision made by Jimmy Carter in July 1979, when he initiated a covert CIA operation to financially support the Afghan rebels the Mujahideen.

Then in December 1979 when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan, Jimmy Carter expanded the programme and Operation Cyclone was born which cost some $20 billion by the time the Soviets left in 1989.

 

It could be argued that if the US hadn't had funded the Mujahideen and the Soviets had defeated them, then the Taliban would never have needed to have formed to take on the Mujahideen.  America, the guy said sowed the seeds of it's own defeat in July 1979, and it was 40 years in the making.

  They might when the demands for humanitarian action after the Taliban take over completely get settled in then start destroying everyone and everything that does not conform with their tenets, e.g.  2022 young women who do not cover their face possibly raped and murdered,  sentenced without Trial, archaic religious beliefs practised by men, with women basically second or lower class citizens. I don't know what year you would consider their belief and actions are in but it definitely not the 2020's. Too many countries such as Britain have made a centuries long career in entering other countries to sort out their problems. It has now reached the stage that it is like an automatic reflex they cannot control  they jump in as  in their mind they are the best antidote. Well like anything in life, you become old and tired as a problem solver and as long as they leave you and yours alone, let them just carry on. Stay out of anywhere there is trouble. Do you know a pub and the customers are always causing fights and trouble, do you always help, of course not its none of your business.

What I can’t understand about people who murder in the name of their God, is why they think that their God will be happy that they have taken the lives of people that they do not know, who may share their beliefs in that God and who have had little time in their lives to have done any offence to their God.

Just before they press the button to detonate their explosives, do they look around and see the faces of the innocent souls they are about to massacre and have no regret or second thought? 
The answer is probably that they are just murdering lunatics who use religion as an excuse for their sheer, evil badness. One thing is surely certain. If they think they are going to a heaven as a reward for their crimes, they are deluded.
