Afghanistan withdrawal disaster: Will the USA end up going back?

Overlooking the facts that

ISIS was totally taken down...that is until Biden got in and now women in Afghanistan are tortured raped murdered,
beheaded and sold into slavery along with Americans and those who were left there that helped us have been tortured and killed. All our military dogs that Biden left there were tortured burned and killed and we gave the Taliban billions in military equipment and trunks full of dollars. That happened under Biden along with 13 Marines slaughtered.

Do you believe the USA will end up in Afghanistan again?

President Donald Trump on Thursday said his administration is "trying" to get the former U.S. Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan "back" from the Taliban.
"We're trying to get it back," Trump said. "We're trying to get it back because they need things from us."

"We want that base back, but one of the reasons we want the base is, as you know, it's an hour away from where China makes its nuclear weapons," Trump added.

I understand the geographical importance of the area but we’ll run into the same problem we had previously. Supporting a military presence in a region bordering Iran and Pakistan with absolutely zero allies in the region that would support us without a regular supply of dollars flowing into someone’s pocket.

A total boondoggle in my opinion.
It may vary well be that we should have gotten out earlier, and in a more tactically sound fashion, but military historians fifty years from now will uniformly describe our withdrawal from Afghanistan as it was implemented to be a debacle.

As I recall; Russia got their buttocks spanked in Afaghani-ville, even worse than O'Biden. Notwithstanding, there are three little, hardly worth mentioning even, words to keep in mind - Rare Earth Minerals.

We paid Pakistan billions of dollars in aid both in military and civilian support. All the while elements of the Pakistani military was hiding and supporting the taliban and extremist moslems when we were in Afghanistan.

All so we could utilize their airspace to support our people in country.

Going back to an arrangement with a country like Pakistan, which has people in its military and government which can not be trusted, is a very very bad idea.

Except to bitch at all the material left. Can they state one war where nothing was left behind? And if they are so hot on the fiscal loss of such, why aren't they demanding putin pay us what they owe for the lend-lease?

Maggies. Just another way of saying hypocrite.

biden - for fucking up the withdrawal.

trump - for even talking to the Taliban (a terrorist organization that also supported al qiuda) about withdrawal conditions. you do know they were sending suicide bombers against civilians.

obama & bush43
- 1. for turning the war as shoot em up game which led to several un-necessary civilian deaths - casual indifference is not a nice thing to have.

- 2. for allowing the state dept to dictate social policies in afghanistan like putting female judges in courts

you don't run policies like that in afghanistan where the muslim population is living in the 13th century and many are illiterate. they are gonna go with their educated mullahs & clerics on what is right & proper. state dept. polices ran contrary to their beliefs, so many males started joining the Taliban instead of staying home.

as a consequence, all of the females are removed from power, dis-empowered and oppressed with misogyny.
