    How you figured that Trump agreed to let the Taliban takeover Afghanistan I have no idea. I guess you just heard Biden tell that lie and it sounded good to you.

      JM... you might as well give up. Most Trump supporters are brain dead and believe whatever crap that is put in their tiny brains by right wing propaganda sites. They still believe that Trump won the election, many still believe that covid is a hoax... and the list goes on and on.
      They are going to totally blame all the worlds problems on Biden whether he is responsible or not. I'm surprised they haven't blamed the capital riots on him yet... oh that's right, there were no riots, just a little tour of the capital by people wearing maga gear.

              It's actually worse. American is a lot worse. At least we tried to win Vietnam.

                  but didn't that start after our withdrawal was delayed?

                  we violated the terms of the cease fire

                    I'm not sure. Some are saying Biden was supposed to leave in May, but he waited to leave in September. But even if the US did break the cease-fire it doesn't give Biden an excuse to leave like this.

                      no, but I dont think we can accuse the Taliban of violating the deal

                    Yes, Biden was supposed to exit by May 1st, but that has nothing to do with how he did exit.

                      Actually the Taliban violated the cease-fire before May 1st so there just was no agreement.

                        "March 4, 2020 — Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley tells the Senate Armed Services Committee that the Taliban pledged in the classified documents not to attack U.S. troops and coalition forces or launch “high-profile attacks,” including in Afghanistan’s 34 provincial capitals. “[T]he Taliban have signed up to a whole series of conditions … all the Members of the Congress have all the documents associated with this agreement,” Milley says.

                        Despite the agreement, the Taliban attack Afghan forces in Helmand province, and the U.S. responds with an air strike."

                          I knew the Taliban was still at war with the Afghan govt but didn't think they agreed to not attack anyone.

                        The US also pressured the Afghan president to release Taliban prisoners, which he didn't want to do. There's just no way that even Joe Biden is this stupid.

                          The US pressured Afghanistan to release Taliban prisoners AFTER the Taliban had already violated the cease-fire. How is this not already being investigated?

                            In this article:
                            • Joe Biden
                              46th and current president of the United States

                            Joe Biden asks his defence chiefs “every single day” whether they need more troops or other resources to ensure safe evacuations of Americans and non-US citizens from Kabul airport, his national security chief said today.

                            Jake Sullivan told NBC’s Chuck Todd on Meet the Press that “so far” that the US president’s top generals have not indicated a need for more forces beyond the 6,000 deployed to assist with evacuations and securing the perimeter at Hamid Karzai International Airport.

                            He left open the possibility that such an assessment could change.

                            Mr Sullivan’s comments came as a Nato official confirmed that at least 20 people had been killed near Kabul airport following chaotic scenes as large crowds gathered to escape from the country.

                            Meanwhile, a senior Tory MP has warned that the crisis in Afghanistan showed that there had been a “demise” in the so-called special relationship between the UK and US.

                            Tobias Ellwood, the chair of the Commons Defence Committee, said on Sunday that the UK had “not been included in the conversations” around the withdrawal of US troops – which has led to the takeover of the country by the Taliban.




                            They aren't saving anyone because that will blow the cover.
