That’s not true.
I would have been angry if Obama or Clinton or whoever gave them everything they wanted and little or nothing in return (see Iran).
So long as we make a good deal with can enforce and live with I’m all for making deals with everyone and anyone.
We hold this shit hole of a nation for 20 years. And they lose it in 20 days.
What a crock of shit.
This is all manufactured nonsense.
We trained that army to do what for 20 years? Roll on their bellies and piss on themselves?
Fuck them.
Our run as world leader is getting tested. China and Russia are doing as much as they can to disrupt.
Pretty clear. China is pushing almost every democracy that plays in Asia.
South Korea (supporting North) and oceans
Australia with vaccine BS, trade wars…
Japan and Philippines with disputes over oceans and islands
India border dispute
USA trade war , nuclear warheads , building more aircraft carriers, building up military, now funding taliban likely for access to minerals for their industrial machine
Tiawan with flyovers
World War III isn’t likely but it is possible.
Fuck them.
No negotiation, not on our soil or anywhere else.
Unconditional surrender.
And I’m not even taking a political side here.
So by your logic you would have been ok with inviting Bin Laden here to “negotiate.”
Bin Laden wasn’t a state. He didn’t occupy territory.
It’s apples and oranges. These guys were the Afghan government before we moved in and took it from them.
You can’t just make these bad analogies without being called out on them.
Fucking bullshit.
The Taliban killed Americans. It’s what literally caused Trump to be talked into not having them at Camp David.
They harbored Bin Laden.
And you’re ok with bringing them to a Hilton somewhere and negotiate in a conference room.
Odd that you say the left wants to harm America with this line of thinking.
The Soviets killed Americans.
So did all of our other enemies.
What’s your point?
I can help 51 out. Prior to 9/11, Japan was the last country to kill multiple us citizens on us soil. Japan paid a massive price for those.
Do I care where? No.
We have blood on our hands and the sooner we become 100% energy independent, the sooner we can start washing our hands of the blood. This is one of the reasons I’m pro nuclear and electric everything we can including cars, trucks, trains…
This help stabilize the world as we won’t be pressing wars for oil.
So is it treason that Boris Johnson wants to work with them or not? I’m confused as to whether you’re agreeing with Storm or disagreeing?
People knew this would happen back in 2008. It’s the reason we stayed there so long.
WE WERE ENERGY INDEPENDENT BEFORE BIDEN TOOK OVER AND HE HAS NOW MADE US DEPENDENT ON OTHERS AGAIN…
WHY WOULD HE DO THAT WHEN HE APPROVED A PIPE LINE FOR RUSSIA?

So this is the problem with Biden reflexively assuming everything Trump did is bad. Trump had a peace deal in place that had provisions that had to be met. Biden rips that up and completely throws it out.
Now the Taliban just takes over and it’s complete chaos. You think Pompeo might be a little better than this clown Blinkin that has no respect? He gets dunked on in the world stage.
Such a disaster of an administration in so many ways.
But Indiana- 51 says we shouldn’t have met with them to agree to and organize a draw down and evacuation… or rules of engagement. Or putting demands in place to ensure they play nice before we left.
Because they killed Americans.
Mind you- we invaded their land. Put them out of power. Dropped bombs on their sons and communities and probably a billion more nasty things we don’t know.
But you know- chaos is better… according to 51.
I never said that.
You actually think the Taliban would agree to anything?
You can’t be this stupid.
It doesn’t matter whether you think they would or wouldn’t. If they didn’t, we had provisions in place to make them pay.
Now we are leaving the place in disgrace and our people that are there are in danger.
5 weeks ago he and Blinkin stated emphatically that we would not see the Taliban take over. They have no clue what they are doing.
They are more worried about flying the LGBT flag in Afghanistan than actually doing something productive.
But mean tweets Indiana. Mean tweets.
We’re in a better place.
I haven’t followed closely, but what has Biden said about the situation?
I think it was “oh shit! I forgot my meds again”
He’s on vacation right now. I don’t think he wants to comment yet. He will have to at some point.
So he’s hiding and letting China and Russia dictate how this all unfolds?
