How fast does the media turn from praising Biden for leaving Afghanistan to blaming Trump for this because it was “Trump’s idea”?

Hell how soon does the Biden Administration start blaming Trump for this.

I don’t care.

I wanted out when Trump was in and I’m not budging on that to play politics. If Afghanistan can’t defend itself with decades of training and support, they deserve to be overrun.

You should definitely be following msn’s reporting on this. Within a few weeks you’ll be calling for us to send troops back there, for the sake of freedom of course.

CCP can only be defeated by nuclear war, and that will never happen.

Not my problem.

If Afghans want to be free they need to kill, die and fight for their freedom.

America is done sacrificing our sons for people’s freedom who lack the courage to fight for it.

We will see.

China has pretty much swamped the other Stans of Central Asia.

My prediction is that they will try, but not via force. Honey (money) not Vinegar.

Obviously you've never followed my posts on the MIC and our pointless wars, I'm all for pulling out and said for years the corrupt Afghan government would fold in a few weeks.

Our leaders would do well to round up some of the old footage of the fall of Saigon.

Second verse same as the first.

Are we talking about the War in Afghanistan or World War II? Those are two totally different conflicts. The Afghan War did not cost millions of lives.

Obviously if you can control the area after 20 years you’re either have an agenda as to why not or not trying to . You when a war by overrunning the target and clearing out all the problems . This was never done because there are to many side agendas going on , dope , rare minerals, the CIA , all are in it for their own reasons .

Anyone on this board serve in Afghanistan? I'm wondering who manufactures the Taliban's weapons.
Are they American made?

China will pay both the Afghan government and the Taliban. They'll be protected by both.

Well said. It’s past time to recognize the limits of what we can accomplish and come home. Could care less under whose watch it happens.
