Was this outcome anticipated? If it wasn't, why not?

[berg80]

More lies.
1. R's were criticizing Biden for abandoning $80b of US military equipment to the Taliban
2. R's were criticizing Biden for not authorizing a US sniper to kill the ISIS suicide bomber, after the Taliban said to kill him
3. R's were criticizing Biden for being held in CONTEMPT by the Brits and other US allies

Dotard has been criticized for not considering the consequences of an attack, conflicting rationales, unspecified conditions for victory, and producing juvenile videos of war.

I'm sure, Trump was going to push to keep Bagram open.

Ok, this link says $10b, so $80b is too high. Still too much to gift to the Taliban

Here’s the List of Billions in Military Equipment the US Left Behind for the Taliban

“The Taliban now has more Black Hawk helicopters than 85% of the countries in the world,” Congressman Jim Banks, a veteran, lamented. “But it's not just weapons. They have night vision goggles and body armor."

Equipment falling in to the hands of the Taliban was always going to happen after a withdrawal. It was exacerbated by the collapse of the cowardly Afghan army.

Iran doesn’t need to close the strait in a conventional sense. Simply creating a non-trivial risk that tankers might be damaged or sunk is enough to keep most tanker traffic from going through. In other words, even if Iran is militarily on its back, just keeping aerial and naval drones at ready or on patrol might be enough to cause a global oil supply crisis for the foreseeable future.

They need to conserve their drones to bonb american targets.The threat is enough.

That makes no sense, even for you.

conflicting rationales,

What conflicting rationales?

unspecified conditions for victory,

Not true.

and producing juvenile videos of war.

Nonsense.

2. R's were criticizing Biden for not authorizing a US sniper to kill the ISIS suicide bomber, after the Taliban said to kill him

Can't find any source for that. It sounds like horseshit. Got credible a link?

It's a fact. Have you been asleep for the last two weeks?

We can agree on that. A well armed Afghan army of 700,000 got slaughtered by 30,000 Taliban.

What consequences were not considered? Its not a fact yet because none are listed.

No, he probably wants to be on the MSM circuit like Adam Kinzinger.

Finding a R willing to give an honest assessment of Dotard, not spew talking points, is rare. But becoming less rare as the orange brain stem sinks in the polls.

IOW, this..........."2. R's were criticizing Biden for not authorizing a US sniper to kill the ISIS suicide bomber, after the Taliban said to kill him".............is based on a lie. Unless you have evidence the sniper spoke to Biden.

Iran was developing nuclear weapons and ICBMs. Kent can whine all he wants.

Iran MURDERS 30,000 of it's own citizens, Democrats silent. Trump steps in to protect Americans and Iranians, evil Dem shit stains protest.

Bullshit. No, we are not silent, but how does launching an ill thought out war that kills even more Iranians aid with that? In fact, it pushes many Iranians back to backing what is there because it is a foreign power blowing their nation. The regime in Iran deserved to be hammered, but this is not doing the job, in fact, with Iran's predictable response, it is earning the US enmity worldwide. Protect Iranians? How does killing even more Iranians protect Iranians? Protect Americans? How does having a war that is already starting to get Americans killed and wounded protect Americans? There is zero evidence that Iran was planning to attack America militarily. Their support of murdering terrorists is a fact, and that needed to be dealt with, but doing a military attack that will end up harming the whole world more that Iran is hardly a wise decision.
