He was right on that count. Unless you actually believe the Taliban would've played nice and followed the terms.
Afghanistan is like a huge JENGA game. You want to pull out your military without the entire tower collapsing. What happens next is up to the remaining players. Instead, Biden whacked the tower with a baseball bat.
Jenga is an apt analogy for the situation. Everyone takes turns destabilizing the situation and the only one to take the blame (lose the game) is the last one to touch it.
Exactly! Trump was trying to remove NATO forces once the Afghan government and the Taliban were at a state of equilibrium. Trump wasn't going to pull out unilaterally without establishing that equilibrium first...and he had no intention of pulling out in the middle of "fighting season"...that was just ignorant!
The NATO forces/civilians and Afghani friends were supposed to be out of country before the U.S. military left...not after.
No...we, along with our allies, airlifted 120K people out of Afghanistan...but only 5,000 Americans. Why didn't Biden send people into downtown Kabul to rescue Americans prevented from reaching the airport...like our allies did? (shameful) Even if this means sleazebag Harris will be our President, Biden must go!
What about the 60,000+ Afghanistan Armed Forces members lost, that died willingly because they believed doing so was worth it, because the U.S. made a promise to protect Democracy in Afghanistan, and would not think of abandoning their efforts, because it costs some money....sooooo, it was cheaper to surrender to murderous criminal terrorists that time and again have proved they will never support the People, and at the same time let 5,000 more of these despicable criminals be released from prison without any objection, to murder more People, Dufus? Are you that ignorant of the issues you post, in real life? When did you serve in the U.S. Armed Forces? I missed your answer to that.
So you are saying that as long as "x" amount were airlifted (quite a few by allies, like @yakpoo mentioned) then it is acceptable to leave "y" amount (10%) behind? That's just a rounding error, right?
Wow…. Trying to catch up a bit here. Frydaddy, this one is off the rails even for you. I was going to pick it apart line by line…. But I’ll just address this simply as complete hogwash. If this is what your liberal contacts are leading you to believe, I understand why you post what you do. This is propaganda the likes of which Hitler would be proud of.
Something like that has been circulating the last few weeks through the usual sources. It's not surprising that he picked it up in one of his copy/paste dumps.
I can't recall who, but someone here predicted China might take over Bagram AB. Well...here's the first story. China Weighing Occupation of Former U.S. Air Base at Bagram: Sources https://www.usnews.com/news/world-r...ation-of-former-us-air-base-at-bagram-sources
