Exactly HOW did a Trump set it to be “peaceful”. Betray tbe Afghan government? Anyone with half a brain knows the Taliban take over wouldn’t peaceful. If Trumps record in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria is anything to to go by, it would have been worse. Trump’s travel ban and refugee cap would have meant almost none of tbe Afghans who helped us would have been able to get a visa.Rarely has there been a US president that has shown more incompetence in Foreign Affairs in just his first few months, than what we are witnessing with the pitiful Biden administration. It is in a word, UGLY.
This minute, hundreds if not thousands, of good Afghans are being slaughtered by terrorist Taliban, in what was fully avoidable. President Trump, in his (I think ill-advised) wish to remove all US troops from Afghanistan, at least set it up so this removal would be peaceful and orderly.
The February 2020 Doha Agreement that he engineered with the Taliban, required US troops to be removed by May 1, 2021. Everything was all set for the Taliban takeover to at least be peaceful. Enter Joe "Botch" Biden into the picture, and the whole thing turned into the mess that it is. Biden allowed the May 1st deadline to go by, with US troops still in place in Afghanistan. Goodbye agreement.
Biden also foolishly claims that that Washington had accomplished its mission in the region by killing Osama bin Laden and depriving al Qaeda of its sanctuary in Afghanistan, and had nothing to gain by perpetuating its military deployments in the country. FALSE! Who is naive enough to think that the reason why US troops have been fighting there for 20 years, is now suddenly solved ? Who, other than Joe Biden, that is.
Are we to think that for some reason, now in 2021, al Qaeda will not use the country as a base for their terrorist operations ? Training camps ? Bomb-making schools ? Bomb-making factories (possibly eve nuclear) ?
Who is naive enough to think that half of Afghanistan's population (females) won't be subjected to severe mistreatment (including executions) by the Taliban rulers ? I spent just 5 days in Afghanistan, and was horrified and disturbed by the almost constant sound of women screaming, resulting from wife beating, as advocated in the Koran (4:34), and that was while US troops were there. Who is naive enough to think that once again, as before, women will not be executed in the street, for reading a book, attending a class, or leaving her house unescorted by a man ?
Biden claims that >> "an endless American presence in the middle of another country’s civil conflict was not acceptable to me.” One of the prime requirements for a POTUS, is to accept reality, and one of those realities is the responsibility of the president to PROTECT the American people. In this case, that means an endless presence of US troops in Afghanistan, as long as that county is a threat to US national security, and it most certainly is.
Biden's miscalculations are adding up. “I think it is damning for him to have created this situation in his first significant action as commander in chief,” said Ryan Crocker, who served as the U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan during the Obama administration and has worked under Democratic as well as Republican presidents. “It’s an unforced error, and as an American I am deeply concerned.”
Biden just recently, stated that with 300,000 Afghan troops, trained by US military, the Taliban were not a threat to overthrow the current Afghan government. What he grossly miscalculated is that despite the Afghan troops having the advantage in numbers (4 to 1), airplanes, equipment and training compared to the Taliban, there is the subject of willingness to fight. Richard Fontaine, a former foreign-policy adviser to the late Sen. John McCain and the chief executive officer of the Center for American Security, a think tank, said it well >> "“All of that is true, but it comes down to will. And it turns out the Afghan military’s will to fight for the government was bound up in our will to remain supportive of that government, and present on the ground.”
Take away US troops and the Afghan military ceases to exist. This has been known for quite some time, without going to Afghanistan for 5 days, and seeing it up close.

And the Taliban would have done the same thing.It was not tough at all to have met the deadline. There were only 2500 troops there. You pack up and go home. Ho hum. And it was a perfectly solidly negotiated deal.
How is this a success?Biden is succeeding where Trump failed. It's becoming a trend.
You haven't been keeping up with world opinion since January have you?We were a laughing stock under Trump
Where is Biden? Is he hiding in his basement again?
Why has he not come out and tell the American people what is going on, Biden is a full blown coward
Succeeding at failure is kind of an oxymoron don't you think?Biden is succeeding where Trump failed. It's becoming a trend.
How is this a success?
When Ronald McDonald is the commander in chief this is what you get:
The Kabul US embassy has been relocated to the airport McDonalds. Not a joke. https://t.co/6BDji5WASF
Well..given that our foreign policy was crafted by Ronald McDonald...makes a certain amount of sense~omg! unbelievable!
The Doha Agreement specified that US troops would be out totally, the deadline being May 1, 2021. In return, the Taliban would be be peaceful. Who really knows what they would do, but it would be to their advantage to honor the agreement, and be peaceful. From their perspective, anything to get US troops out of the country.Exactly HOW did a Trump set it to be “peaceful”. Betray tbe Afghan government? Anyone with half a brain knows the Taliban take over wouldn’t peaceful. If Trumps record in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria is anything to to go by, it would have been worse. Trump’s travel ban and refugee cap would have meant almost none of tbe Afghans who helped us would have been able to get a visa.
You have no idea right now, in your ivory tower.We were a laughing stock under Trump!
But the Orange Jesus worshippers had no idea what was happening beyond their trailer park!
LOL
When even the Washington Post and New York Times denounce Biden, and you still praise him, there's no hope.Biden is succeeding where Trump failed. It's becoming a trend.
That was Trump's doing (the Doha Agreement - Feb. 2020)We're not going to be in Afghanistan any longer....
