Apparently your never read the Afgan/Taliban agreement which clearly stated that if the Taliban attacked US Troops or Afgan cities the US could cancel withdrawal. They (the Taliban) did so in May/June before Biden’s horrendous withdrawal. You liberals keep stating Biden couldn’t do anything because of the agreement, but somehow he delayed the withdrawal several months. Not only causing the lives of our Warfighters but millions of dollars in equipment

Just alot of whiners not willing to accept responsibility like their orange leader. Joey did have the balls to pull out. Pretty or ugly, it was done. Always could do things better. And a reminder: every war we have been in, we left stuff. If you maggies are so hyper focused on that, than have Putin pay for all the stuff that wasn't paid on the Lend Lease plan. Go ahead. Let's see if donny has the balls for that deal.
Apparently, you never kept up with the fact checking on this.

Of note....
April 18 2021 — In a released statement, Trump criticizes Biden’s Sept. 11 withdrawal deadline saying, “we can and should get out earlier.” He concludes, “Getting out of Afghanistan is a wonderful and positive thing to do. I planned to withdraw on May 1st, and we should keep as close to that schedule as possible.”
But that's rehashing bygones.
Looks like in Trump 2.0 team 'negotiations', the US has already conceded to Russia without even involving Ukraine in 'negotiations'.

Except he promised to already be done in Ukraine. Like Afganistan, he fucked that up.
How about if Zelenskyy doesn't like the terms he can fend for himself for the next year, (If he lasts that long) and see how that goes. Thats one ungrateful SOB in my book. We've been carrying his ass for three years now, or he'd have been over run long ago. Now that the money is slowing down he's bitching to anyone that will listen, and thinking he should be setting terms. Maybe he should go back to his day job as a comedian....

You know who has millions of metric tons of Rare Earth Minerals?
Afghanistan. After 20 years of whatever you want to call it. We not only gave away billions of weapons and equipment, but Trillions worth of minerals that China is now going to take.
We are the dumbest country on earth. Every other country that invades another, TAKES more than they put in. US? No oil from Iraq, no minerals from Afghanistan.
After giving BILLIONS to Ukraine before, during and (probably) after, we get nothing?
Except another enemy that hates us? How's that working so far? We might as well get something and then the people will have a reason to hate us.

lolol.. You mean like the dementia riddled old man who let this shit get going in the first place not to mention letting the country be literally over run with illegals, drug traffic, and cartel criminals? The guy who let the gov bureacracy get so out of hand with fraud, and spending were at a critical point of every climbing out of this mess. No question we'd have been SO much better off had the next dem puppet been elected. Oh thats right, she never did actually even win a primary, and yet they tried to run her instead of that poor rerun of "weekend at Bernies" that was in the White House the last several years...
