Trump campaigned in 2016 on the promise to withdraw all US troops from Afghanistan.

The Trump Admin negotiated troop withdrawal with the Taliban in 2019-2020. Trump intended to host the Taliban at Camp David on 9/11/2019. That secret meeting was cancelled when the Taliban blew up some stuff and killed 12 people. Trump disclosed this in a tweet. While the meeting was cancelled, it did not prevent direct negotiations with the Taliban.

The Trump Admin executed an agreement with the Taliban on 2/29/2020 to withdraw all troops by 5/1/2021 and to facilitate the release of 5000 Taliban fighters from Afghan prisons. It twisted the arm of its puppet Afghan president who released 5000 Taliban fighters in 2020.

By the time Trump left office only 2500 US troops remained, despite the Taliban had not lived up to their end of the deal.

Trump’s resolve to end the war in Afghanistan was matched by Biden’s will to do the same.

20 years, $Trillions spent and thousands of US lives lost was enough.

The US military industrial complex is not pleased and depends on perpetual invasions and wars.

Yeah Biden did such a stellar job, ignoring the border issues, screwing up the withdrawal out of Afghanistan, leaving behind American civilians, flying in Afghans without vetting them, closing down the pipeline and making us dependent on foreign oil. Biden who showed lack of empathy, respect, and dignity when speaking to the families of those who lost their lives because of his blunder.

When the next 911 happens because of the recklessness of the Biden administration, THEN will you admit you are wrong?

For the umpteenth time, the issue is not over ending the war. The issue is HOW Biden retreated: abandoning the air base and pulling out the last of the troops while Americans remained behind. An elementary school child would have known that was not the order to do things.

Beyond that, he broke his promise to remain until every American was out. He conveyed to the enemy terrorists that THEY are running the show, and that the United States of America will bow to their wishes.

It isn’t the withdrawal, everyone is for it, it was how Biden ordered the withdrawal that has everyone upset. Didn’t inform our allies first, who has their citizens in Afghanistan, not evacuating our citizens first, not destroying or removing expensive military equipment, not sending in special ops to get out citizens out, even tho England and France sent theirs to retrieve their citizens, a troop of marines were sent back who shouldn’t have had to be there if Biden listened to his military advisers and 13 were killed who didn’t have to be.

You know it too

They know this, they just don’t want to admit they voted in a arrogant jerk. He always was, which is why he lost the past several primaries.

You act like these people didn't know what was coming even though TRUMP did the Deal with the TALIBAN 18 Months ago.
How much more Warning did these people need?
It's like being on the Titanic and watching the Ship go down and wondering what is all the panic about.

BIDEN didn't "close down" a pipeline since it was never finished & built.
The Keystone Pipeline was going to transport CANADIAN OIL to the Port of Houston where it was going to shipped Overseas mainly to CHINA.
Not one drop of that OIL would have ever made it to your Gas tank.

FACTS are bothersome issues to you Haters.
