Is it his fault his predecessor made a withdrawal agreement, with the fricking taliban?
Are you fricking kidding? Biden just cut tail and left; nothing in the deal was adhered to. He gave them an air base and 7.12 billion in equipment! And got 13 soldiers killed. Remember the people hanging off the planes; that was Biden's work. Leaving thousands of US contractors and their families at the mercy of the Taliban yea Biden too.

Exactly. He cut us out of there so fast other allies who had forces still there, expecting a coordinated draw down were caught off guard as were the locals.

But it was a "mostly peaceful ceasefire" with just a few "love taps" to go around.

Trump set the date. It wasn’t a secret to anyone that we were leaving Afghanistan

Oman is a real gem of a country. Love the dry, rugged mountains and the Musandam is one of the coolest places I’ve ever been.

It’d be a real shame if we had to bring a little freedom to their shores.

Trump set a date that was condition based. Biden changed it to a different date and removed all conditions and didn’t leave the last base open for evacuation and instead used the public airport which got overran. He fricked it up badly.

So the complaint is that Biden both rushed it and delayed it?

Could it have been handled better, sure. Was it always going to be some degree of a shitshow, yes.

Why would a draw down be a shite show?? It was on Biden’s watch and couldn’t have been worse. He left them 7b in equipment. your boy screwed it big time, one of the most embarrassing moments in us history thanks to sleepy joe.

One Biden’s far from my boy.

Why would a draw down be a shite show? Because the taliban was in Pakistan waiting for us to bounce, which everyone left and right wanted so it was happening in 2021 regardless of who won in 2020

Firsthand reports out of Iran: A major truck drivers' strike over worsening economic conditions has halted critical fuel transport to key cities without refineries.

Major urban centers, most notably Mashhad, Iran’s 2nd largest city, have already run out of fuel or are rapidly running dry.

With logistics ground to a halt, this fuel crisis could spark the next major wave of nationwide protests. Stay tuned.

Of course Qatar wants to return to the MOU. Their buddies in Iran are in trouble and that means bad business for their shared ideologies and puts a dent on their export of terror. frick Qatar & all the other duplicitous GCC's that secretly support the IRGC & the IRI by funneling them money, weapons and technology on the down low.

BREAKING: Following recent meetings among top officials, Iran has reportedly completed the groundwork for permanent toll system routing shipping through an Iranian controlled “northern route,” per Iranian Sources. if Iran applies previously reported fees of 5% to 7% of cargo value are applied, potentially generating up to $100 billion annually. The framework would give Iran authority over traffic management, transit permits, toll collection and vessel services. At 7%, the toll could generate roughly $385 million per day. A VLCC carrying 2 million barrels could face a fee of about $11 million, with collection costs reportedly minimal. At pre war traffic levels, projected annual revenue could approach $100 billion, comparable to the annual profits of Alphabet, Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft and Saudi Aramco.

It's a day ending in "y" again, which means it's time for the IRGC to target another ship.

The Hormuz Strait is open and operating

So do we think

A) He really believes this and thinks everybody saying the opposite is just fake news
B) Is being fed false info by his human printer to keep him happy
C) He knows it's BS but wants to project strength on social media?

I'm leaning B but they are all viable options
