Trump agreed to pull out of Afghanistan and set a date to do so…

I could be wrong and just not remembering what happened here so excuse me if this is a dumb take, but didn't he agree to the pull out as long g as Al-Qaeda/Taliban met certain conditions? And they failed to meet said conditions?

White House Photo From Israel Revealed Identities of US Special Operations Forces


quote:

The White House communications team published a photograph of President Joe Biden meeting in Israel with American special operations forces but did not blur their faces, a departure from traditional Defense Department practices designed to safeguard the identities of members of the elite units. 

The photograph appeared on the White House’s official Instagram account for hours Wednesday and garnered more than 6,000 likes and 792 comments, per screenshots provided to The Messenger before the White House deleted the photograph. President Biden traveled to Israel in the wake of the deadly attack by Hamas that killed more than 1,300 civilians, including 32 U.S. citizens. 

Official Defense Department photographs and videos of American special operations forces typically blur the faces of their members, due to the particularly sensitive nature of their jobs. On the Defense Visual Information Distribution Service website, which provides videos and photographs of the U.S. military for world media outlets, the faces of special operations members are normally obstructed, whether they are in training or deployed to a combat zone

Per Twitter, a US base in western Iraq got hit by a drone attack and a number of projectiles have been intercepted by ships off the shore of Yemen.

Sure sounds like Iran’s proxies want shite to heat up.

Is it “ just don’t give a frick “ with these people in the White House. Or is it they are just “fricking stupid and unaware”.


I don’t know which is worse. I want to say they are stupid but I know they just don’t give a frick.

Enough high blood pressure for me today. I’m going take a ride in my boat and drink a few beers.


I am glad that they don’t have people in Houma and Coteau Road shooting missles towards Bayou Blue.

Although I’m bringing my AK-47 7.62 x 39 in the boat today with the .17 HMR. rifle. And my S&W .357 686 6” barrel.

I’m convinced one day these Hamas’s are going to bring it here one day. And if so I’m going to be ready.

I just don't understand why they can't get anything right when it comes to military conflict and how to handle. They can't handle U.S. military involvement in any beneficial way. How is Biden's admin. going to help Israel after sticking their fingers into all of the plans?

It's hiring based on diversity and social issues rather than qualifications.

My condolences on losing all of those weapons in a boating accident. Damn shame.

Trump a set a date for withdrawal.

Biden pushed it back and Trump shite talked him on twitter for it.

All of this is easily verifiable with a google search. The argument from apologists on this is stupid.

Nothing wrong setting a withdrawal date, that’s not the point.

Trump wasn’t going to abandon Bagram. There are people shocked that we still have troops in Iraq and Syria, Bagram was an important base to hang on to.

He certainly wasn’t going to abandon tons of guns, ammo, explosives, high end optics, sniper computer systems, night vision goggles, etc.

And he would’ve moved out our assets who helped us over the years, instead of abandoning them to be hunted down and executed.

We needed to withdraw from Afghanistan. There was a right way and a wrong way, Biden picked the wrong way. The argument from Trump haters is stupid.

Lex Fridman interview with Jared Kushner

Love him or hate him--this is a terrific 3 hour interview of Jared Kushner on Hamas, Israel-Saudi relations, Palestinian support, and a host of other really insightful background what is actually going on between Israel/Gaza.

I have a newfound perspective about him after listening to this interview. It is highly informative.

yep, after our strikes and artillery brought them to a standstill the Kurds opened up a dam and drowned the rest.
