Obviously Afghanistan is in the news. Peoples lives are at stake and they did not need to be at stake. President Trump had an agreement with the Taliban for a withdrawal from Afghanistan on May 31th. The smartest guy in the room decided to push it to August 31st.
It has been a disaster from the get go, President Trump recognized this to get us out. “They” islamists have been fighting over any stretch of land in this area for 2000 years. Do you really think our intervention would change 2000 years of fighting, killing and death. My non military, non progressive attitude and supposed lack of intelligence would have not had us in this “fight” . Per usual this is about resources and who controls them. Trump said, I think, when desert storm first happened, just take all of the oil. We have spent trillions on a country that flip flops on whom ever is in charge, why do you think Afghanistan was over run in such short time. Yesterday’s Senator is today’s Taliban commander.
Hey I listen to a lot of “opinions” on a lot of topics and if one of them says we had a secure base in the mountains of Afganistan 20 minutes from Kabul. We apparently have the International Airport secure at this point, which happens to be in downtown Kabul, what could go wrong? So we gave up the high ground to a bunch of people willing to give up their lives to destroy America. Any despotic regime like this one already called this a defeat to America. Hello military you just got called out, do you have set of balls or do you need to deal with white aggression?
Here is my take. We have somewhere to the tally of 10,000 Americans still in Afganistan. This idiotic administration is prioritizing refugees over American citizens. They are so desperate for voters, they will sacrifice Americans to a horrible fate, death by an enemy! It will be spun not to reflect on Democrats, it will be Trumps’ fault. Sorry Biden you did not have to follow Trumps’ plan, you 86ed everything else he did so you need to own this disaster. Go find Corn Pop and look at his hairy legs!!!
