There's almost no way they could have screwed things up in Afghanistan worse than they did. It would have taken nothing more than a few series of air strikes early on to halt Taliban advances and reassure Afghan forces that they weren't being completely abandoned.
And to make that impossible, Biden abandoned the Bagram Air base, banned the aircraft mechanics, and the supply and logistics. This way there was no air base to launch from, no planes to fly, and no bombs to load on the planes even if they could get one in the air.

So if Trump had mental issues what the heck does Biden have ?

I think all this talk of Trump is a deflection from Biden's mental state.
Can we agree neither has the capacity to be POTUS? Biden is a blabbering idiot and Trump never read the Constitution.

Now What?

Trump was simply bombastic, verbally combative with his critics, and spoke his mind, without guile or subterfuge.

Afghanistan is being dealt with. Blinken has been getting his ass kicked by Congress over it the last couple days.

I am puzzled why you said Miley is guilty of treason under Biden's watch. Based on the OP's post, it happened while Trump was president. That's why Miley had to assure China that he wouldn't follow any of Trump's stupid command if it was to come.



.

Trump isn't President. And since this info came out now, it falls under Biden's watch. It's also making people question if Milley had a huge hand in the disaster we called a withdrawal since he was so unhinged to go behind Trump's back.



He better start talking if he wants this to go away.

All flights needed halting.
But at least he halted SOME and thus the spread wasn't as bad as it would have been. Biden would have waved them all in, and things would have been worse.

What you're doing is not giving credit for Trump doing SOMETHING, while Biden would have done NOTHING.

You are voicing an opinion here, not fact.

It was Pelosi spewing that "mental" issue about Trump .....totally political in nature and not medical.

"Gen. Milley Made Multiple Secret Calls To China"

Am I the only one remembering reading about this a year and half ago (or around there, before the elections). Someone was leaking info back then, a little bit anyway. Very hard to prove, but wouldn't doubt it.

Here's a mirror.
So anyone who doesn't recognize Trump's greatness is a CNN watcher that praises Biden? Man, I can't imagine what it would be like to be so simple minded.

Both Trump and Biden are pitiful, and that conclusion doesn't prevent me from recognizing that Trump was dangerously unhinged to the point that multiple generals disobeyed him. This is the real world with adults who should be able to recognize the difference between shades of dark gray.

Also, CNN is pitiful journalism written for people with a 6th grade reading level, as is Fox.
