Afghanistan and the American Taliban


Man, the bullshit is really flying. Like Trump would have done it better.

The issue most democrats have is leaving Afghan supporters behind.

The issue Republican are jumping on is leaving Afghans behind.. The ordeal for women, and those who helped Us.
Think about that..think about immigration of refugees..think about protecting any foreigners, think about the Kurds, think about human rights, think about America First.. Think about if Trump, shut us down in Afghanistan.

Of course what's happening was going to happen.. without the courage of the afghan people to stop it.. there was no other choice... now those same people want to run. They expect US to enable them.. When Trump negotiate the deal .. the people who didn't want to stay should have left, they knew what was going to happen.. They were counting on Us to enable them save them and give them a better life... That they were unwilling to provide themselves. I keep saying it's their choice.. their consequences.

Of course, the "American Taliban" would have done better.. they understand one another.
The sheep were going to get sheered no matter what.
Forget changing Afghanistan.... work on changing the ways of the world.

Tell them we will leave, tell them not to interfer.. Tell if they don't, It won't take 10 years, like Osama Bin Laden, to find them... we know right where they are.

At this point our original mission has been accomplished.. It was accomplished in Libya, Iran, Iraq, and other adversary Muslim country.. no country like that...in the middle east is admittedly harboring terrorist.. We have not had any terrorist attacks on our soil for many years.. Afghanistan will be no different.. they now know.. there is a cost for harboring terrorist,

The problem we have now is not our enemies harboring terrorist... it's 0ur so-called friends like Saudi Arabia. and others on the Peninsula..and those engaged in a war, on their own soil. WE are the glue that holds all their hate together, we are used to keep their own power, not to take ours.

Thousands of Afghan's have been trying to get out for months and years. Make no mistake...Trump deliberately gummed up the process just like on the Mexican boarder. He's a hateful guy and the subversion is obvious.

I remember a similar scenerio with Viet Nam.

Any group the thinks that US promises to have their backs are believable should talk to the Kurds. The US has abandoned the Kurds at least twice.

Although that was Trump.. It's still applicable to a lesser degree.

That's what I meant
Trump was the worst but he wasn't the only one
