the claim by the left that Trump basically surrendered to the Taliban is a lie !

[yidnar]

Trumps agreement was CONDITIONAL. Biden ignored the conditions and made a deal of his own. Biden is totally responsible for abandoning Bagram and over $80 Billion of equipment and weapons.

You may have posted the agreement in several other threads but you never understood it.

You're posting lies about it....as is expected of you.

Then why wasn't he insisting they live up to these mythical conditions before he left office? Remember, tRump drew the troop presence down to 2,500 before he was removed.

drew down to 2500 without turning over billions in weaponry and no American deaths for 18 months ...

...and he never would have abandoned Bagram before evacuating ALL Americans and Afghani allies.

The entire cabal of so-called American leftists is full of shit and lies.

Except he didn't abandon Bargam. He turned it over to the Afghan Government per the agreement Trump signed.

The underlying problem here remains that the Afghan Army didn't want to keep fighting our war. That's not Biden's fault and I'll even be fair and say that's not Trump's fault. That's on them.

There was no turnover....just a sneaky abandonment in the middle of the night.

US troops leave behind thousands of cars — without keys — as they abandon key Afghan airbase in dead of night

The US military left Afghanistan's Bagram Airfield after nearly 20 years by shutting off the electricity and slipping away in the night without notifying the base's new Afghan commander.

Biden and his military commanders were CHICKENSHIT.

Obama himself pursued peace talks with the taliban. the problem? THEY thought he was too much of a dick!

Uh, the Afghans should have been ready to take over the base... clearly they weren't...

The whole problem here is that we spent 2 Trillion dollars propping up the Afghan Quislings, and they just weren't up to the job...

Not sure that staying an extra week or month or year would have made a difference

...but Sleepy Joe claimed they were a well trained army.

"The likelihood there's going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely," Biden said during a news conference on July 8, underscoring that the Afghan armed forces were "as well-equipped as any army in the world."

"I trust the capacity of the Afghan military, who is better trained, better equipped, and ... more competent in terms of conducting war," the president said at the time, responding to questions about whether withdrawing the roughly 2,500 remaining US troops would precipitate a civil war or a Taliban victory.

Since Biden was dead wrong about the likelihood of a quick Taliban takeover of there entire nation, he made sure that the Taliban fighters were "as well-equipped as any army in the world."

Quite a stupid bastard Joe Biden is.

Was he the one who trained them? OH, wait, no, that would be Bush who dumped two trillion into Afghanistan and another two trillion into Iraq.

Of course, the training wasn't the issue here, was it?

The issue was, they really didn't see a point in continuing a war we had quit.

Trump was quitting, too...just not in the same fucked up manner that Biden chose...all for the sake of a September 11th photo op and a self-congratulatory speech.

It would have been more fucked up if Trump had handled it, except he would have started screaming everyone else involved was a "loser" on Twitter...
