#Taliban #Afghanistan #Biden
Propping up a corrupt regime for twenty years was bound to end in failure.
@maria schultz In what way is Biden’s administration fraudulent? Because when you win a free and fair election, you get to be president.
@Adam Taylor its just blind fanaticism. biden isnt a saint but he won the election and thats the bottom line.
Not really, Biden chose to come out now. Coming out before the 20th anniversary of 9/11. The PR matter more to him. Shame on American, hes made a total mess of leaving. They way American has chosen to leave is repulsive.
@maria schultz Republicans did this …..you wanted 20 more years? Thank God Diaper don (download that) is OUT & the republicans will not have control for a decade. Or maybe, they like to cheat, corrupt Lie, con, brainwash. We do have many trampards …they’re nothing ……….right?
@maria schultz only if they cheat
We need our Afghan allies and their families out ASAP. They should not need a VISA to leave and that can be processed later. We have a database with every one who worked with our forces. Those people should not need a visa to leave. They don’t have time for that! Please shine a large spotlight on this. Every American and every Afghan ally and their families MUST come out one way or another. I support sending more troops to achieve this. The American people are demanding this.
The abundant amount of paperwork these people needed was ridiculous to start with.
Things are going to spiral in the next 10-12 days. It’ll be a Mogadishu with 82nd trying to create an evac corridor. There’s some cowboy Taliban spoiling for a fight and the mid level field command will lose control.
Mark it down, it’s coming.
We’re not saying that. They matter as much as anyones’ and we get that. But they don’t seem to think their lives or their country is worth much. We can’t save everyone in the world from their own laziness or their own warped religious beliefs. We have enough warped religions to deal with here.
American can’t save itself from its own warped religious congratulations, most American church preachers very poorly educated. You only have to look at the anti vaxxers to know that.
All this pearl clutching. This would have happened regardless of who the President is, or when the troops were withdrawn. The Taliban has been waiting for his moment for 20+ years. Try thinking for a change.
Nope…try again…
@Zaynab bint Al-Harith you wasted a comment to say that? 🤣
@Enchanted Homeschool You do illustrate to all of us that homeschooling is likely to produce a stupid individual.
2016 General elections: Dawn with the experiment!!!
No. We’re simply saying they’re not worth more.
Wow. This. It’s really painful, but your words strike true. I think the title of this video is bad rhetoric.
Unfortunately its true.
Everyone: “So where did that $2 trillion go then?”
Military industrial complex: “Nothing to see here. 😗🎶 “
Exactly someone with a brain
“The Day Before 9/11: Rumsfeld said 2.3 TRILLION $ are Missing from Pentagon” is a TBU (Truth Behind Us) News article.
Right. It is how America stays prosperous. Keep on fighting. Anyone will do.
It came out the US left behind 83B on weapons, ammo, missiles, airplanes, computers etc
So why are ppl upset about 2t lost?
This general didn’t even foresee a walk to church by the pres.
15,000 US citizens trapped there now because of this insanely hasty exit plan, but go ahead and keep bringing up the past if that helps you sleep at night.
There were warned weeks ago.
30,000 Afghan soldiers died fighting the Taliban. That was when they thought the US was standing behind them.
For twenty years.
@Nia Howard Then tell them it is a limited time commitment. Ahead of time.
“Allies” Please, do allies drop their weapons and walk away after twenty years committed to fight for freedom, democracy, ~ self government? After twenty years, America learned a lesson, do you really believe those Allies when they migrate to America? Only time will tell.
$1 billion for an embassy we just abandoned. More government waste.
The levels to which Afghan lives doesn’t matter has been shown by the actions of the Afghan Security Forces, Afghan national army and police force; Looking for more ways to blame the US is tolerating cowardice from a bunch of deserters who’ll not defend their homeland.
A whole panel of armchair quarterbacks.
I don’t care what this general anyone else has to say: America first!
You know, 20years should’ve been time
enough to make a difference of learning
and care, not to mention money and
lives lost. All lives lost. Where,s the
President??? Take care for your people.
Just saying.
✌PEACE OUT…
