Not true, there’s plenty of countries we have troops in that won’t be leaving anytime soon. Korea, Japan, Iraq, Germany, etc.

Beat me to it.

The hypocrisy from right-wingers knows no bounds.

Biden could have made some sort of deal with the Taliban and Afghan governments to secure mineral rights to the lithium and gold that is present in the mountains there.

But Biden is incompetent and doesn't know what the hell he is doing.

So??? It's not the US's personal problem to fix.

I want my tax dollars to go towards improving people's lives in THIS country.

I remember that. Al Qaida in Syria I believe which America supported there. Talk about bad advertising, poor plumber. It shows just how corrupt US statecraft is.

I don't know how this makes what I said "not true."

We spend billions in the region, we have tens of thousands of troops deployed, along with tens of thousands of civilian contractors.

But a base or two in Afghanistan with about 5K total personnel, to actually protect women’s rights and basic human rights against a barbaric regime like the Taliban is a bridge too far?

We are not fighting irregulars in Kuwait, Qatar, UAE, Jordan, Oman, Bahrain, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia..

And we should not be in Iraq or Syria.

Bidens fed govt is busy creating various catastrophes here at home; i.e. monetary debasement/inflation, medical experimentation on citizens, creating a system of apartheid, stoking racial divisiveness, instituting a policy of permanent martial law...

Its enough to make your head spin.

Oh? Specifically, HOW?


HOW in any way, shape, or form has Biden instituted a policy of putting the military in control of normal civil functions?

Face it, you are a hypocrite too. Can you name me a time when you actually were verbal against the democrat party for doing something you didn't agree with? I mean, the democrats were to ones that fought to keep slaves and created the KKK, so I guess you are okay with that. How about Cuomo and him putting Covid patients in with the elderly? He get a pass from you? Chicago has more gun violence than all of Texas cities combined but yet I never see you speak out against it. Just admit it, you are another paid schill for the communist left.

I thought that was cancelled and reduced to a much smaller gathering?

Whatta ya got saying otherwise?

That makes no sense at all. To be based in the Middle East, but then never confront Al Qaeda, ISIS, the Shiite militias of Iraq, and the Taliban? Also, stopping terrorists from blowing up the oil fields in NE Syria is not to be allowed either?



We are also in about 17 countries on the continent of Africa. We are bringing the fight to Al Shabab, Boko Haram, the Islamic State, and many other splinter groups.

I’m going to assume you want us to leave that entire continent as well?

We are also based in Central America and Asia. Let me guess. We can stay in those places as long as we don’t use any forces to actually fight anyone, right?
