i see in the early 80's CIA’s covert Operation Cyclone funnels weapons and money for the war through Pakistani dictator Mohammed Zia-ul Haq, who calls on Muslim countries to send volunteers to fight in Afghanistan. Bin Laden is among the thousands to volunteer. 1983 — President Ronald Reagan meets with mujahedeen leaders, calling them freedom fighters, at the White House. September 1986 — The U.S. provides the mujahedeen with shoulder-held anti-aircraft Stinger missiles, which turns the course of the war.
voted for obama twice when i was naive and thought that obama was gonna change the life for african americans in this country. Saw that everybody got tangibles under obamas watch besides african americans, so i voted for trump 2016( best decision of my life). Pardoned Jack Johnson, the cost of living was great, acknowledged the Emmitt Till tragedy keep the border crisis under control actually invited black men to the white house to hear what poilicies we would like to see happen signed into law the first step act which gave inmates a second chance at life( who were oversentenced due to Joe's crime bill) Trump gained with every group in the 2020 election EXCEPT WHITE MEN...
This is awful, but should never have been in there in the first place. Leaving our allies to die is incredibly ****ed up but I would have on a high level supported this if this happened in Trump administration too. All the sins of the last several decades of US imperialism in the middle east is to blame. Huge black mark on US history, but we couldn't stay there forever.
Not that old. I’ve seen the footage in documentaries. Vietnam has always been fascinating to me because of the complete carnage and failure.
Did you see the people clinging on to the planes and falling off? friend from there told me “what do people expect with welcoming the taliban? The US left , the puppet president fleed….what else should people do in the face of a brutal regime do them and their families aren’t killed “
I don't know about all that but i do know 45 was the WPE.He didn't gain a thing with me i wouldn't waste my vote on him .
I stand corrected. He didn't blame Trump, he blamed Trump, the Afghani government and its military, and even Obama (albeit obliquely, when he said he opposed the surge as Veep) - everybody but himself. Civilians should have been evacuated first, not last. What an epic f*** up.
Well, yeah. "Mister President, do you feel like an a**hole right about now?" "Well, yes, I do feel like a big, puckered poo-hole. Wouldn't you?" "Have you spoken to President Obama in recent days?" "As a matter of fact, he called me last night, he said, 'You see? I toldtcha and I toldtcha. It's better to be criticized for not getting out than for being the guy who gave it all back.' Then I think he called me a 'got-damned fool' and 'Trump's gonna ride this right back into the White House'." "Uh, no more questions, Mister President. Sorry, folks. It's time for Uncle Joe's nap." Jeezus, talk about handing the opposition a really big gift.
