Taking Bagram back?
Posted on 2/26/25 at 12:06 pm

Lawrence Jones from Fox News just asked President Trump if we were going to take Bagram back. He didn’t say yes or no, but it sounds like it just doesn’t set well with him that we gave it up so easily after so many American lives were lost in the shite hole country. Especially since it’s only an hour away from China’s largest nuclear weapons plant. I’m betting we take it back and a shot won’t be fired by doing so. What say y’all?

This seems like a terrible idea.

I’m as salty about it as anybody, but cut your losses.
ETA: But I’m fine with letting them sweat it.

If we don't take it back, we should destroy it in my opinion.

There is a large presumption withing the US Military that we will be back in Afghanistan within 5 yrs. That has been an ongoing sentiment for a while now.

Take it back and bring back the equipment that FJB left, then turn the country to glass

I think we should bomb their parliamentary building while they're in session and then just ignore them forever. Spiteful, yes, but don't frick with the USA.

I'm sure it has been stored and maintained properly, and has not been sold/distributed to terrorist proxy groups all over Asia. For sure.

Ya'll must have missed the part where he said that the air base is 1 hour from China's nuke factory.

It was just as a terrible idea to just give it up completely

I Can see that, Taliban and IS are fighting amongst themselves

I literally haven't heard one single person say this.

Well, currently our defense budget is larger than each of these countries:
Russia,
China,
Germany,
UK,
India,
Saudi Arabia,
France,
Japan,
South Korea,
Italy,
Israel,
Ukraine,
Poland
It is also larger than all of those countries combined, so I see no reason NOT to print more money and spend it on retaking Bagram. Let's print a little more, and grab the Caribbean while we are at it.

If you’re a podcaster…listen to Sarah Adams on the Shawn Ryan show…she spells out what’s going on in Afghanistan again.

There is absolutely nothing to be gained by having boots in Afghanistan. Why would we possibly go back?

It was Trump's peace deal with Afghanistan that Biden implemented.

(5) military bases.

If he didn't want to give up Bagram, maybe he shouldn't have given up Bagram.
ETA: Wow, people just downvoting the actual peace deal that Trump negotiated with the Taliban just because they don't want to believe it. lol
Yes, it was your orange god that gave that base away. You can't blame it on the usual suspects, sorry. Hate all you want.
