Make America Great Again and what you witnessed last year are completely different ideologies. Take your TDS meds.

Ok. What do you believe should happen? What would have made our withdraw different? Honest question. (Notice I don't have to use name-calling as my defense mechanism).

EDIT: I think I'll stick to Covid stuff only.........forgot how many foreign policy experts we had on here.
One of the other posters (@nvEERs) linked to this video earlier today. I think he pretty succinctly answers your question in bold.

Take 11 minutes and watch this.

Was 2016 election? Trump claimed it was rigged until the results.
The 2016 election was rigged but Trump got so many votes he was able to overcome it. They were better prepared for 2020. Funny how you didn't mention 2020, as it was right in your face and open to the public.

The guy who took a dump on Pelosi's desk?
I think that guy was probably a lot like you or me except he decided to take a dump on her desk. There are plenty of videos out there of folks who were doing shenanigans at BLM and antifa demonstrations and also on Jan 6.

Yeah, I'm the one that believes in conspiracies, take the word of a pillow guy, and read Qanon daily......(not saying you, but..........)

Anyways, fact is that regardless of we pulled out today, 10 years ago, or 10 years from now, this was going to be a Saigon event.
Why didn't that happen in Iraq? It didn't have to happen this way.

You keep a big enough force to respond if the Taliban acts up giving the air force and Navy a chance to respond.

Not at all. My people are the majority and level headed in this country... and armed to the teeth. The idiots in your squad have lost their damn minds.
I don't have a squad chief. Other than anti-moron...I mean anti-Trumpers.

Honestly, this, what we’re seeing right now, could’ve been avoided. That’s just reality.
I guess what I'm suggesting is that Iraq had a longer history of a secular society while Afghanistan is still highly affected/impacted by their religion. And the Taliban carries weight because of it. I don't know, just a suggestion.

Actually, the religious aspect is not the factor you think it is in AFG. That’s far more prevalent in Iraq.

The reality is that the AFGs have survived millennia’s by appeasing whatever conquering nation took possession of their country. The average AFG just wants to survive and to do that, they’ll go along with whatever and whoever comes to power, be it Russian’s, Talis, US, Mongols, Macedonians, Persians, etc.

We, by our actions, signaled they were on their own. All we had to do was continue what we were doing, keep training, keep funding, and keep providing them with Intel to help them fight. We weren’t really expending US lives or really putting anyone into harms way, beyond JSOC folks. Once we showed we didn’t care what happened, it was an easy decision for them. They have no national pride because they have no nation, they have rulers.

Trump should never be allowed on any social media ever again. His failed coup will hopefully land him in prison.
You should never be allowed to be around kids again either. Social media won’t matter. You still think about him 24-7

Where are the charges against him? Try talking less for your credibilities sake.

What were the babies crying foul with Trump years ago? Logan Act? Hmmmm.......

This article is nonsense and so is the book. Gen Milley told them to follow procedure. Same thing that they are told with every President. You follow lawful orders and procedures. I'm no fan of Gen Milley however this is making something out of nothing. Milley also needs to retire.

The CCP needs their *** kicked. Biden, Trump, and Milley all know something they are not telling everyone to prevent a war.

A little more subtle, but this is also insurrection, and treason.


not at all. It's always good to have an adult in the room when Trump was in charge. He wanted to remind them that the POTUS was a clueless amateur. Trump was in over his head for 4 years.

Take away the part about calling China, the JSOC conversation with Pelosi alone is grounds for his court martial.

With Biden you need an adult in the room to keep his cock off the young girls

What article? He's obligated to talk to her. How much of the details about talking to China are true ? I'm no fan so feel free to kick him in the balls all you want. However it's all nonsense by both sides.

It's not talking to her. It is calling his CIC a crazy man.
