Biden's Trump Afghanistan Policy

[schmidlap]

Biden already delayed President Trump’s withdrawal plan.

As the record shows, the Cry Baby Sore Loser had been planning it for decades.

The Loser blew gas about building a "big, beautiful wall!" and making "Mexico!" pay for it, repealing 'ObamaCare" and replacing it with "something terrific!" that covers "everybody!" at "less cost!", resurrecting coal mining, revitalizing steel production, reviving manufacturing, having the pandemic "under control!"

He brought the same competence to his one term when he managed to lose the GOP the House, Executive, and Senate that he had applied to Trump®University, Trump®Airlines, Trump®Vodka, Trump®Steaks, Trump®Ice, four Trump® casinos , and a couple of Trump® Trophy Wives. Trump®Blog had been his latest signature venture.

Credit where due: As a cult leader, his skill set found its niche!

The plan of pulling the troops out will always be popular the part that is never given any consideration is what happens next. I get how long we have been in Afghanistan and the reasons for saying enough is enough but just as we don't consider the consquences for when we topple a dictator be it Sadam in Iraq or Gaddafi in Libya we also don't think about them when we leave either. We don't want to stay in Afghanistan forever but after we are gone I think there is a good chance it reverts back to what it was pre 9-11 and becomes a terrorist safe haven again there is no easy answer on this and risk no matter what you do.

The time to consider the consequences is BEFORE you destroy the country.

The "terrorists" fled to Pakistan. We really didn't care. It was never about the "terrorists".

The country was destroyed long before we got there it was a clusterfuck before Russia invaded it it along with pretty much the entire Middle East it has been for a very, very, very long time. Despite all this the Western powers still think they can go in there and fix it maybe some day they will realize that is not going to happen and maybe some day these terrorist groups will realize attacking the West is not a good gameplan but I doubt either will. They both seem determined to live by the saying those who do not learn from history are destined to repeat it.

What are you talking about? The terrorists won.

Its ridiculous to compare Saddam to Gaddafi.

The US got rid of Saddam based on Clean Break Strategy. The Libyans got rid of Gaddafi.

What are you babbling about? We are talking about President Trump’s foreign policy. I understand you can’t stay on topic, because you can’t dispute his record.

The Cry Baby Sore Loser found excuses to squat, despite his whining about the Bush Boondoggle for years:

Trump said the US was right to invade Afghanistan after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks – a reversal of his position earlier in October 2015 when he called the war a “mistake.”​

​

“We made a mistake going into Iraq. I’ve never said we made a mistake going into Afghanistan,” Trump told CNN’s Alisyn Camerota on “New Day” when pressed about his comments.​

“A suicide bomber has just killed U.S. troops in Afghanistan. When will our leaders get tough and smart. We are being led to slaughter!” Trump tweeted in 2015.​

Finally, Americans elected a President with the cojones to end the futile waste of American lives and treasure.

Biden: Drawdown of U.S. troops in Afghanistan is ‘on track’​

Sucks to be you today.

Remember Kids:

Joe Biden Gave The Taliban 75,000 military vehicles, 600,000 weapons, and 208 military aircraft​

Trump calls Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal​

'a wonderful and positive thing to do!'​

Whining about the President's pursuing policies that are popular with the American people is what the loitering opposition does, but when a policy comports with what the Former Guy had been stridently advocating for years but had failed to act upon, one might descry a hint of blatant, knee-jerk partisanship in their bemoaning it:

McConnell has seized on Biden’s announcement that he will withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan as a prime example of him talking like a centrist but governing from the left. The GOP leader has warned that Biden has ordered “a hasty total withdrawal from Afghanistan” that will “leave coalition partners and vulnerable Afghans high and dry.”​

​

Trump’s hearty endorsement of pulling U.S. troops out of Afghanistan by September has undercut efforts by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) and other key Republicans to question President Biden’s strategy. ​

​

More broadly, the former president has focused the nation’s attention on China as the United States’s premier national security concern, putting pressure on Senate Republicans to support legislation Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) plans to move to respond to Beijing’s growing influence and power. ​

​

Senate Republican Whip John Thune (S.D.), McConnell’s potential successor, says Biden’s decision is “a big mistake” and “not the right move.” ​

​

Al Cross, a professor of journalism at the University of Kentucky and a longtime commentator on Kentucky politics, said McConnell is trying to set it up so that he can pounce on Biden if militant extremists seize full control of Afghanistan or if terrorist groups use it again as a base to launch attacks against the United States.​

​

“He’s setting a marker to say ‘I told you so’ when Afghanistan goes to hell,” he said. “He makes these little down payments on political investments that may turn out or may not.”​

​

[Trump muddles Republican messaging on Afghanistan]​

​

Bad stuff will ensue if the United States and its allies finally extract themselves from Bush's Folly, just as will occur if they if they squat there in perpetuity. Will Republicans snivel about it no longer being Americans who are dying there as a consequence of Trump's perennial raving against the U.S. presence in Afghanistan suddenly being heeded?

Fuck you ,asshole.
