Example, @Moonglow somehow says Trump pulled out the troops in Afghanistan a few posts ago. Is the left really this clueless?
Are you? Of course Trumpybear pull troops out of Afghanistan. First when he took office we had, I believe, over 14,000 troops and an number of allied troop as well. You can see by the terms of the agreement he made with the Taliban that he agreed to reduce the number of our troops to 8600 as well as the same proportion of our allies as well. Furthermore, after the networks called the race for Biden in Nov. 2020, he order the removal of all our troops from not only Afghanistan but Germany, Somolia and a number of other places in the world. That was reported by Jonathan Swift of Axios, and confirmed by the Generals recent testimony before Congress.
Mr. Smith: We will reconvene as soon as everyone can get back to their places here, which will take just a few seconds, and then we'll start back up again...

Yes, we were actually given an order to go to zero by 15 January which was changed to go to 2500 by 15 January and then taken down to zero by 1 May depending on the decisions of the new administration."
A behind-the-scenes look at former President Trump’s unprecedented clash with the Pentagon.

"John McEntee, one of Donald Trump's most-favored aides, handed retired Army Col. Douglas Macgregor a piece of paper with a few notes scribbled on it. He explained: "This is what the president wants you to do."
1.
Get us out of Afghanistan.
2. Get us out of Iraq and Syria.
3. Complete the withdrawal from Germany.
4. Get us out of Africa.
It was Nov. 9, 2020 — days after Trump lost his re-election bid, 10 weeks before the end of his presidency and just moments after Macgregor was offered a post as senior adviser to acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller.
As head of the powerful Presidential Personnel Office, McEntee had Trump's ear. Even so, Macgregor was astonished. He told McEntee he doubted they could do all of these things before Jan. 20.
"Then do as much as you can," McEntee replied.
In Macgregor's opinion, Miller probably couldn't act on his own authority to execute a total withdrawal of U.S. military forces from Afghanistan because he was serving in an acting capacity. If this was for real, Macgregor told McEntee, then it was going to need an order from the president.
The one-page memo was delivered by courier to Christopher Miller's office two days later, on the afternoon of Nov. 11. The order arrived seemingly out of nowhere, and its instructions, signed by Trump, were stunning: All U.S. military forces were to be withdrawn from Somalia by Dec. 31, 2020. All U.S. forces were to be withdrawn from Afghanistan by Jan. 15, 2021.
What the fuck is this? Miller wondered."
