Maybe you should have brought this up when Trump had Soleimani killed. You know, when the left was outraged that he'd done that, showing their anger at Trump and their sympathy and support for Soleimani with their social media postings and news stories.

Is there something in my post that is UNTRUE on the Taliban? If not ..... where is the valor or glory to say it is MAGA in scope given it is ---- the Taliban?

From link of the Christian Science Monitor and found in other links.
- These unprecedented intra-Afghan talks are the result of a deal signed last February between the United States
- the Taliban – itself an agreement that required nearly a year of diplomacy
- that the Taliban have trumpeted as "victory." It called for complete withdrawal of all U.S. and NATO forces,
- in exchange for the Taliban not allowing Afghan soil to be used for attacks abroad.
The Pentagon says the remaining 8,600 American troops will be whittled down to 4,500 by November.
For the Taliban, this sense of triumph has exacerbated the trust deficit by raising expectations that it can achieve, with little compromise, its core demands of greater Islamic rule and renewed legitimacy inside a system where it has significant control.
At stake: Regime change
The stakes could not be higher amid a
U.S.-engineered peace process designed to bring the jihadist Taliban back into the halls of power and pave the way for withdrawal from America’s longest-ever war.
Now it’s the Taliban’s turn to lead Afghanistan for three to five years, he said, during which the militant group would work with foreigners and especially the U.S., to prove that, as the Taliban was a hard enemy, in the future we will be a solid and trustworthy partner.
The comments above do come from the link above....

- Basically I would say we know that the Taliban will win control.
- The government there is corrupt anyway and needs us the prop them up or it will probably fall.
OUR CARD IS BASICALLY TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE TALIBAN AND LICK OUR WOUNDS TO GET OUT WITH AT LEAST A PEACEFUL CO-EXISTENCE of the US NOT LABELED THE ENEMY BY THE TALIBAN.
Still my point was that the TALIBAN -- is no friend of US VALUES in Afghanistan. Their Agenda is not ours. We merely found we cannot eliminate them ....
so we will leave with a deal that basically they win. Both sides though experienced blood loss.
*** Our greatest win was the elimination of Osama Bin Ladin. The Taliban was who protected him and to this day..... blames the US for deserving 9 11.
--- JUST THAT IS THE REALITY and is it really WORTH A BOAST OF A ENDORSEMENT?
