In Places like the Middle East and Afghanistan don’t understand diplomacy , they understand brutality. Both Bushes, Clinton and Obama tried the diplomatic way. Didn’t work,. Trump on the other hand had the balls to drop the MOAB on the Taliban and send a message and it did work. There is a problem in those countries but you can't say what it is. Iran in the 1960s and 70sThey let the radical thugs take over.

This absolutely pisses me off. I lost friends over there and the Dementia having Mfer pissed it all away. And some of you voted for this Dbag. Absolute garbage. I'm pissed.

There was never going to be a "clean" way out and never will be.

Aged like milk
“The Taliban is not the North Vietnamese Army, they're not. They're not remotely comparable in terms of capability. There's going to be no circumstance for you to see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy of the United States from Afghanistan." - Joe Biden, July 8, 2021 He will not be called on this by anyone. This quote and his idiotic claims will be swept under the rug. No one in the mainstream media outside of Fox News will mention how utterly clueless he was and is about Afghanistan or anything else. Even if people cared a bit about what is happening to the country as it crumbles, and about the nitwit who was put in charge of it, they will never be told anything. He and they are protected by the state propaganda arm that used to be called the press.

It was a campaign promise from Biden not to pass this chit sandwich to the next POTUS. Seems like they are doing what they can after spending 20 years training the drop your gun and run brigade. If you think about it ..... a lot of baby girls were born and got an education over the last 20 years. Hopefully that will be progress. Get out.

One of Donald Trump's campaign promises was to end the war in Afghanistan. Last year, he negotiated an agreement with the Taliban to withdraw all U.S. forces by May 1 of 2021.
And that is all I got to say about that.

My take on it is that I could have told you 15 years ago what the outcome would be. Im just surprise it took so long. I suspect 95 percent of the educated population had a similar thought in the back of their mind. The Russians are giggling today as we basically said hold my beer. Without talking to them, I can assure you that every E-1 from every branch of service who went over there as a fresh faced soldier could’ve told you exactly what would happen when we pulled out.
Team wolfs I had to perform. It took a minute to get it all in my mouth and another five to swallow it all.

I say pull every American out now. Let the natives of Afghanistan figure it out. Sad that people/women/children are persecuted, but that area, which is only slightly smaller than Texas (Afghanistan is 96.19% the size of Texas), has always been tribal, and will always be. Let them eat each other. If they try to eat us again (9/11), let's do it from the air and never set another American boot print on that soil. That place isn't worth another drop of American blood, or even sweat for that matter.

To clarify, it wasn't all indigenous Afghans who executed the attacks on the US on 9/11. UBL used Afghanistan as a training area and recruited globally for his "jihad" against the US. When the Afghan govt didn't do anything about him, after much US pressure, the US responded. The rest is history. I don't have any ill will toward the native Afghans. They have a radically different culture than we do, and we cannot force them to adapt to our culture. Let them eat their own.

Pretty sure they know a MOAB could come at any time. That is why the the smoke from the US embassy is Marines burning paper. Good luck Afghanistan.
