The U.S. Can't Even Defeat The Taliban And Biden Tells The 82nd They Are Going To Ukraine? Really? (Afghanistan, weapons)

Yes. The proverbial, storied "they." They told me to say this...

Would Donald John Trump ever say anything even remotely like that?

he's the President, when he speaks, he speaks for the nation. Who is "the White House" that keeps correcting what the President of the United States is saying?

That's the truth of it.
I haven't heard yet what the 82nd will be sent to do, or if they will be sent at all.

But I can envision several scenarios that could happen if the war escalates.

They must have a daily list of Biden comments that need retracting.

US Military Forces are not going in to Ukraine and Biden is not seeking regime change in Russia, are today's White House retractions.

Biden also told the 82nd Airborne not to jump and came out with a lot of other nonsense.

I am sure if Beau had known about that lap top he would never have used the name Hunter.

Biden visits 82nd Airborne in Poland and tells the specialist parachute division 'don't jump', says Declaration of Independence 'sounds corny' and reveals Beau called himself Hunter in Iraq to hide his name - Daily Mail

Biden:

"You’re going to see when you’re there, you’re going to see women, young people standing in the middle, in the front of a d*mn tank saying 'I’m not leaving.'"

The Taliban never, ever defeated the US Military anywhere. The Afghanis failed to win the peace after the US defeated the Taliban over and over.

I agree.

That is hilarious. So why was the US there for 20 years? The US military failed. The American people should just accept the fact that the US military isnt nearly as amazing as they think it is. They can butcher a lot of people (mainly in nations specifically picked to have weak defenses) but they cant actually accomplish anything positive afterwards.
