Other countries respect strength. Biden does not exactly exude it. But you fellers still would never have trump running things? You wanna re-think that? And do you want to re-think the border? Pitiful. Taliban controls an entire country, the cartels control the border. Biden does not enforce the law, on moratoriums, nor on the border..
No increase in defense budget, the money is going to the Green New Deal. China is constantly gearing up.
And that is my rant of the day.
@averagejoe1 saidOf course it would.

Biden administration is going to get a black eye over this.
And America is not alone in facing the tough questions. Over in UK, Boris is also squirming facing the media.
Withdrawal from Afghanistan was also on Trump's agenda.
And Trump has been proven over and over again to be an incompetent buffoon.
But hey.....you guys just love "the saloon doors swinging open and in walks John Wayne" foreign diplomacy, don't ya ? 😛
@mghrn55 saidTrump used sanctions to gain peace. biden is compromised by china and russia because of being bought off by them, and then there is hunter with the computer proof...biden has to do what THEY say.
Of course it would.

Afghanistan happened.
The thread title is obviously incorrect.
@no1marauder saidAfghanistan is >happening<...fixed that for you. Wonder how much money Iran is giving the taliban with the money biden gave them?
We had Trump.

@mott-the-hoople saidIt's apparent that nothing GW, Obama or Trump did changed the power calculus in Afghanistan despite spending hundreds of billions of dollars there. The moment US forces withdrew, the puppet Afghan government would fall and the Taliban would take back the country.

Biden should get credit for having the courage to end this charade.

We were never going to get rid of the Taliban if we were unwilling to wipe them from the face of the earth.
Trump was in the process of removing our troops, which would have seen the same result that we see when Biden did it.
@eladar saidunder Trump there were only 2500 troops left and taliban was in check…there is 5000 there now and the taliban is having their way.

@mott-the-hoople saidAs I already showed you, they were hardly "in check"; violence in Afghanistan was at a record high for the occupation.

Biden has temporarily deployed more troops to safety evacuate American and US supporters; do you oppose that?
@mott-the-hoople saidTrump was in the process of pulling out. He would have pulled out by May 1 if he had been re-elected.

But he may have moved troops back in with Taliban action.

@mott-the-hoople saidMy point is that total US withdrawal from Afghanistan was Trump's idea.
anyone can speculate...what is your point?
