    There are 40 million afgans. At least half are probably women. Do you think they want the Taliban?

    We can't know for sure what Trump would've done, likely something contradictory and chaotic like most things. Trump isn't President right now (unless Mike Lindell was actually right and MSM isn't reporting it) and Biden early on said he wanted the US out by 9/11/2021. This is on Biden.

    At this point I think the only reasonable course is to do all we can to get those Afghans who risked their lives to help us out of there. We lost the country and aren't going back but let's at least do right by the people who believed in us enough to help us.

    The sad thing is, we're sitting here debating which side was wrong and the american poeple don't see the scam n it. They have us divided and conquered pointing fingers when it was this political class that got it wrong. they pander towards arm sales and lobbyist rather than holding true as public service. you don't have to go far that trump rrana on not sending troops to **** that doesnt have to do with us then went and sent troops to saudi, saying they paid for it so its fine..then the lives and all that patariotism doesnt make sense when its the other extremist named saudi? sad ****.

    Not just in Iraq, trump is the one who literally made a deal with the taliban, just absolute savage criminials that daren't even religious, they routinely impose religion like saudi folks, but they live in debauchery, murder, and rape and will kill someone devout if it stands in their way of power.

    the of ccourse it was bush getting us into this war, a war biden supported so hes right there in another massive foreign policy blunder. and trilliongs of dollars wasted of our tax dollars, millions of lives waasted ,more american enemies created, and a situation now that is worse than what we started...talk about a bad investment..I wish all the guys who voted for that(the bushes, the bidens, the pelosis, the fox anchors and everyone else calling people unpatriotic for not bilndly agreeing with the governemtn nad now they demand it with trivialshit like the flag rather than wht it actually stands for.

    blame all around, bidens the point guy now so even if its someone elses blame its on him, doesnt mean to buy into trumps bs that he literally made another short sighted decision and is doing what hes good at, deflecting and blaming. sadly when it comes to DNC/RNC..they aren't send their best.

    general cosensus on the ground was tolerable nad open that amerians prove it and that evolved to skeptical that there was a plan, but hey better than the taliban right...oh wait.

    yea so manypeople put ffaith in us when we ran in and took over everything, iraq is in worse shape too, and any translators or really nayone not compliant to taliban...their' out. and they aren't wroried about economic ties or world standing like the russia, chinas, indias.

    absolute **** show.

    It's curious there wasn't much of a fight. I wonder how many want or are seemingly indifferent to the idea.

    USA has been there approx 20 years.

    "women and children first"

    If Afghan men won't fight for their country after us helping for 20 years, why should American men continue to do so?

    Those C-17 pilots are freaking heros. I just read one C-17 packed 800 people on board. Kind of emotional to think of those crews trying their damndest to save every last soul they can.

    People are completely wrong about biden. If you read Obama book he says biden had nightmares about his Iraq vote and it made him stay up all night after his son died. He told Obama then that his entire view wars had changed. Biden was the first president who had the courage to expose the Afghan con for exactly what it was. The question here as AMERICANS need to be asking where the fk did our money go for decades. We can't blame either party because I fully supported trumps withdrawal.

    I'm not a conspiracy theorists but biden is a threat to the military establishment and he's the first president in 50 years who truly wants anti war. Biden needs to have his entire intelligence agency reviewed from top to bottom. Biden has also gone heavily against big business(toughest anti trust ftc in 70 years) and monopoly and they are pissed.

    There was NOT A SINGLE BULLET FIRED!!!! Afghan men refuse to fight yet they want us to bail them out. We are the laughing stock of the world because we get used

    Biden should resign. What an epic failure. The decision to turn his back on our deal has given the taliban all they needed: anger and mistrust. They used it to gain traction and recruit more men; and here we are now. He can barely chew his apple sauce and put on his pants yet people will defend this walking **** show.

    Every Republican should be demanding impeachment and removal.
