Originally posted by Adam_PoEAccording to the Rightwing news, Biden is something, something abandoning thousands of America to the Taliban. Also a coward for bailing out of Afghanistan. They somehow already forgot that Trump signed the peace deal with the Taliban in 2020.
The media is going to find that they do not have their finger on the pulse of the public with this one. Biden evacuated over 80,000 people in less than 10 days with 0 casualties, ending a deeply-unpopular 20-year conflict.

Do you even know how equipments we left behind that the Afghan army just allowed the Taliban to just come right in and take them?They have choppers and hell fire missiles.
The fact that your first thought process is Trump bad proves you don’t really care.
Hey, go easy on Rob. He still hasn't fully gotten over the results from the 2016 election yet lol. Like pooty and so many others who wanted that evil b*tch Hillary to win, he can't get Trump out of his head even with Biden's fake win to soothe their massive nearly 5 year butthurt lol.
They all should be pitied.

This is why is useless to debate with you people. Your mind is already made up, and all you have are excuses.The fact that any of you refuses to admit Biden shit the bed makes you all just as bad as the other extremes on the other side.
Funny thing is, right this moment, the US just deployed a company form 1/2 base in Germany to Kosovo because of unrest due to its pulling out and leaving no structure behind.
The US also just deployed a company from 3/2 back to Afghanistan.
All of that in less than a month.
The fact that idiots argue leaving helicopters, hummvees and 100 of thousands ammo behind is par the course is just pure stupidity.
Spot on, squall. 👆 👆
It's disgusting how Biden zombies are making out like this is some kind of victory or good thing for the USA. Otoh, China is quite pleased that the Taliban now has all those weapons and equipment. Joe is doin' his "job" making them quite happy. 😉
Letting our border be overrun while he does nothing but incompetently stumble around the WH looking for a pudding cup puts a smile on the CCP's faces as well.
Way to go, Joe! 😉

BS.Keep making excuses for Biden's major f*ck up. There's no way Trump would've allowed all those weapons and equiment to fall into the terrorists' hands... no.... way.... period.
So is this the excuse youre going to cling to so that you can avoid praising Biden for being the first President of the 21st century to pull out of one of these shitty wars ?
Btw what was your reason before Squallx gave you that lame ass one ?

Yeah also who is quantifying which weapons/vehicles we shouldn't have been left behind? Given that we intentionally armed the puppet Afghan army.It was a 20 year occupation, of course we were going to leave some stuff behind. Jeez.
I think the guys we had working over there know a little about destroying things. Just saying.

We shouldn’t have left helicopters behind, nor HE/DP rounds. Do you know what the power of he/dp rounds?
I was all for us leaving Afghanistan, but it was done wrong.
The fact that no one can outright say the way we did it was wrong is baffling.
The Taliban is now using out weapons for their own means. This is not a Republican/democrat thing, but our administration being idiots in wanting cool points.
As this moment a company in 1/2 was shipped to Kosovo, while 3/2 was sent back to Afghanistan. Both companies stationed in Germany. while my unit is on standby. Tell me, what was the point again of leaving if we just went right back in less than a month?

But wasn't that left for the Afghan army? Biden did say we left them an airforce, and the Taliban had no airforce.

There was no right way. We would have just stayed there forever trying to do it right or perfect.
It's very clear now the Taliban were going to take over no matter when we left. If we knew that like we do IN HINDSIGHT, that they will take over so fast, then of course more effort would have been made to evacuate the heavier firepower first.
But let's not pretend we all knew the Talibans were going to take over within a week. Hindsight IS a wonderful thing though.

The whole country is convinced of what you're saying. It's the Duh position right now due to the relentless focus on everything going wrong by the media. Funny where this focus was when we were there and allying ourselves with warlords and blowing up hospitals.

DT, you don't think the media is partially trying to cover their butts?
Since they were the ones harping for years about pulling out, and now that we have it going so wrong so fast makes them look kind of like clueless putz's.
Sure, hindsight and who could have known, but still a bad look.

Well Russel Brand did an interesting video. He reckons the media want wars to complain about them. No Trump, no wars, where are they gonna get their ratings from?
The politicians on the other hand...
Biden needs a bit of Trump in him at this moment. Trump would have taken this win, owned it and not let the media or other politicians control the narrative.

Of course.
