Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden all wanted to leave Afghanistan. Only Joe Biden decided to pull the trigger. It’s how he pulled the trigger that matters greatly. As Afghanistan falls to the Taliban we know a few things. Joe Biden ignored the advice of his top generals.
One question that I've not seen asked/answered: after 20 years... how could there be 75,000 Taliban members? Weren't we supposed to be over there destroying them?
Look for Taiwan to fall to Xi Jinping (China) by mid 2022. It will go something like this: "Hello Joe, Xi here. Fine and you?" Look Joe we'll be invading Taiwan in the next few days. What's that? Are you kidding Joe? Look at the way you handled the Cuban uprising and ran from Afghanistan with your tail between your legs after that. If you get involved in our takeover we'll simply quit shipping all the pharmaceuticals you've been ordering from us. You think you have an image problem now, Joe? Wait until the bodies start piling up in the streets of America. What's that, Joe? Oh, just say that your treaty to defend Taiwan from us is just some old outdated piece of paper singed by a Republican and you'll be fine. Remind your people that the trade off is that you saved a lot of lives. Say 'hi' to Hunter for me, Talk to you later Joe. Joe? Joe? [must have fallen asleep]"
What drove the decision to leave so precipitously? EVERYONE around this old fool (Biden, that is) told him not to do it this way. If Trump had gone off so heedlessly he would have been declared incompetent, sedated, and locked in a rubber room. The feigned panic of the left under Trump is becoming the real thing under Trump. We're led by a reckless fool! Something must be done!
Were this one of the daily gaffes we see excreted by the cretin in the Oval Office, I might come back with a snarky comment. But the innocent children who aren't old enough to know what's happening, finding their world in worse-than-chaos, cry out for help. But none is coming. My heart breaks. May the Creator, a God of Justice, remove this demented fool as quickly as pleases His will and over-arching plan.
I can't even begin to express my sadness to all the Americans who lost family and friends, to all the military who lives will be affected forever, and to all the Afghan people who trusted us. This administration abandoned them all. And he made fools out of the rest of us. I am a proud to be an American, but right now I'm very ashamed of what this country did.
There seems to be a failure in communication for the last 20 years.
Bush said mission accomplished, Bin Laden was killed under Obama and he essentially said mission accomplished by announcing our plans to leave. Trump set withdrawal in motion. Now Biden does it.
I seem to recall Eric saying, "why are we there?" What is the goal?
This is the firt time I am hearing, "hold the land", and no casualties in the last year. Why didn't our leaders say this, sell this?
Seems like military policy based on public opinion and perception. A lot like what happened with medical police in COVID. We apparently don't have political leaders, we have poll watchers. The tail, the biases media and their activist minions are waging the dog.
Should this really surprise anyone given the way this administration has handled our southern border? It's the same strategy; preach far-left platitudes about how you're handling the situation while brushing aside those pesky facts and photos that verify a human atrocity is taking place.
If someone had written a book of instructions on how to destroy the greatest nation in history, this administration could not have followed it any closer. This is all intentional....every bit of it. Spreading chaos in every direction until the citizens are so weary we throw up our hands and beg for Big Brother to take control. The footage of those Afghans trying to mount the Air Force airplane leaving the airport should be seared into the hearts of every American. We have left people who helped us as sitting ducks who will be tortured and killed. And we will forget it all as we entertain ourselves with TikTok videos, snarky tweets from celebs, and conversations about which overpriced flavor of coffee to order. We as free people should be mortified.
Biden has brought shame upon our whole country. Who in their right mind would trust us anymore. Now we have given the minerals to the Chinese who will use them to undermine our economy. Just imagine the thoughts in Taiwan
It seems almost statistically impossible that the occupants of the key positions in the Biden administration are all absent from the scene during this major catastrophe. Perhaps their embarrassment is the motivation.

Congratulations to all those who voted for BIDEN. I hope you are pleased with your decision. Anti Trumpers are complicit in this disaster.
If Biden doesn't resign it is further evidence of his cognitive decline and inability to comprehend what he just did.
To quote Obama (which I rarely do), "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f**k things up."
I can't wait to hear Biden blame Trump this afternoon

The Democrats did the same to the South Vietnamese government in 1975.
Disastrous doesnt even begin to describe this situation. It will have long-lasting repercussions for decades to come.
