This was all completely avoidable.

Never cared for the poorly thought out Twitter posts, but I sure miss Trump right now.

There are no words.
As a nation, we will not be trusted again for decades. We deserve that.

China can now do whatever they wish to, in any nation. No one will join us in trying to stop them.

Do you honestly think the Taliban would have done things differently with Trump, the Afghan army?

Why would you think that.

Didn't this lady call 9/11 a hoax and blame the California wildfires on Jewish space lasers? And yall are looking up to her as a voice of affirmation?

Jewish space lasers.

Oh come on. You can't compare a devastating blood bath of an international retreat, open borders, aggressive inflation, racial brainwashing in education, mass censorship, medical tyranny, sky high violent urban crime and the collapse of small businesses to.....mean tweets.


Mean tweets are much worse.

She will certainly enjoy women's rights when she will return home on a bus late night wearing a revealing dress. I heard Muslim countries have women-only subway cars.

She will also enjoy the right to work by cleaning toilets instead of living the life of a Muslim wife who never has to work.

And was it Biden who gave them to the Afghan forces or was it a previous President?

Biden has to go down in history as the dumbest president we have ever had!! So many people voted for Joe not because they loved him, but because they hated Trump! H Joe knows nothing of foreign policies except to line his and son Hunters pockets! What a disaster he is! The weakest of all presidents- he’s the laughing stock of the world!

Yes. For one thing he would have left the troops, airbases, weapons UNTIL all were out safely. Second, he would have left enough nearby poised and willing to make the Taliban sand if they simply breathed incorrectly.

Third, he would have left Afghan fighters ALL the tools our troops used. Not told them to use their fists to fight The Taliban.

It takes the guts to be ready to decimate the other side if needed, w/o flinching.

This chaos in Afghanistan was not created in the last 8 months. This is years and years of the USA meddling in a country that doesn't play by the same rules.

Nobody would have predicted that the Afghan Army/President would abandon their posts so quickly....NOBODY.

Not one of you expressed concern when Trump announced the May 1 deadline. Because nobody predicted it.
