First, I want to say that Biden has completely fricked this up, I am not denying that. Actually, you know what? I think Biden is president in name only.

With that said, you have to also look at the whole picture.

The RNC deleted post of them celebrating Trump's deal with the Taliban.

The Independent

Newsweek

And you can see for yourself all the other websites that are reporting this.


quote:

The US and the Taliban have signed an "agreement for bringing peace" to Afghanistan after more than 18 years of conflict.

The US and Nato allies have agreed to withdraw all troops within 14 months if the militants uphold the deal.

President Trump said it had been a "long and hard journey" in Afghanistan. "It's time after all these years to bring our people back home," he said.

Talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban are due to follow.

Under the agreement, the militants also agreed not to allow al-Qaeda or any other extremist group to operate in the areas they control.


BBC

There is a video of Trump's speech about this.

quote:

A year and a half since U.S. special envoy Zalmay Khalilzad brokered a “peace agreement” between the United States and Taliban leaders, there is no peace in Afghanistan.

Instead of negotiating a power-sharing deal with the Afghan government, the Taliban have unleashed a military onslaught to take power by force, seizing on the withdrawal of U.S. troops as their moment of opportunity.

As Afghanistan plunged into chaos in recent days, with civilians flooding into Kabul, the capital, to escape the advancing Taliban, Khalilzad made a last-ditch bid to try to stop the bloodletting.

But as he conferred with diplomats from Russia, China and other world powers in Doha, Qatar, this week, the Taliban seized more territory and overran the cities of Herat in the west and Kandahar in the south. In Washington, the Pentagon announced plans to deploy 3,000 troops to Kabul airport to oversee the evacuation of dozens of staff from the U.S. Embassy.


NBC News

If Trump was in office there is a good chance the same thing would be going on.

But for years and years people have been saying "we need to get out" and all the Trump people were excited when he made this peace treaty with the Taliban and now blaming Biden for the whole thing.. Can everyone at least agree that both of them share blame for what's going on?

There's plenty of blame to go around for this flaming pile of shite.

China is already tweeting at Taiwan the same thing will happen to them if they count on American help.

I was trying to explain this to co-workers this morning. I think all of this would have happened regardless of who was in office.

Lol, is this a serious question?

I can, but I'm a libertarian. No one is going to admit their party has any blame in the matter.

Just when I think you can’t possibly get any dumber you blow our predictions to pieces. Your dad really should have made your mom swallow.
