Yes. Even if Trump incited violence, which I don't think he did BLM/Antifa, the Taliban and others who routinely promote violence are given a free pass?
I'm no fan of Trump and Twitter etc. are private businesses so it's up to them.
That being said, it is hilarious that Nation of Islam and many many others still roam about twitter, facebook etc.
The Trump Admin legitimized the Taliban when it negotiated the troop withdrawal during the first Q, 2020.
By 2020 year end, all but 6000 troops had been withdrawn.
There does not seem to be anything factual to support the Trump Admin had a plan to resettle those Afghans who spent years, decades helping the US. In the meantime, Canada and Germany did so.
The US has spent $1 trillion in/ on the Afghanistan initiative since 2001. Thousands of lives have been lost. The military industrial complex however has been pleased.
This is not the first nor last time, the US has withdrawn troops from Afghanistan and had to reverse itself.
It was insane to invade Afghanistan.
It was insane to remain in Afghanistan.
People sobbing that we "lost" Afghanistan are delusional. It was never ours to lose. The Taliban owned everything in the country not physically occupied by us or our allies. Our daytime friends were our nighttime enemies. The outcome we are seeing was always going to happen. This is an ungovernable and irrational place by western standards. It is tribal and poisoned by perverted religious fanaticism. Concepts such as human rights or equal protection or due process or democracy are foreign -- from a different century or different planet.
The Taliban are going door-to-door rounding up anyone suspected of collaborating with the United States. By next weekend, thousands will be beheaded and/or tortured to turn in other family members. This is worse than Bengazi.
In agreement with Arya Stark's comment and acknowledging the tragedy of what will be the likely outcome.^
The Afghan people deserve so much better.
When a person wrote in their Christmas letter to me last year that she was happy that she finally had a president that she could be proud of (Biden) and feel like other countries respect us, it was clear that being a liberal meant deluding one's self about certain realities. The sad events of the past few weeks and the absurd lies and projections from politicians and journalists is more evidence that Biden's puppet masters have no idea what they are doing. Most liberals cannot confront their mistakes and blame everyone but themselves. Harry S Truman is the exception.
U.S. just suspended ALL flights, civilian and military, in and out of Kabul due to the tarmac being overrun and civilians blocking the landing strip and climbing onto planes. Per Bloomberg news.
"“Any political settlement that the Afghans pursue to avert bloodshed must include having women at the table. The fate of women and girls in Afghanistan is critical to the future of Afghanistan. As we strive to assist women, we must recognize that their voices are important, and all must listen to them for solutions, respectful of their culture. There is bipartisan support to assist the women and girls of Afghanistan,” she continued....."
Right. Good luck with that.
Oh SHUT UP! Pelosi.
Just shut the hell up!
She knows damn good and well that's never going to happen, but she needs to say her 'female' words so that all the idiots in that party will think she's done something.
News flash lefties: She isn't doing jack all except trying to make herself look good. She doesn't give a damn about the females in that country, nor this one, for that matter.
The Taliban doesn't give one camel's turd what Pelosi squawks.
Because of his Afghanistan screw-up, Bidens approval numbers will be in the negative figures. C'mon man, man up, and take responsibility, you blew it big time. Quit trying to pass the pass the buck. It won't work for you this time. Apoligise to the American and Afghanistan people and step down. And take Harris plus Pelosi with you.!!!
..and the squad.
