Afghanistan - why did we bother?

[sinkov]

The withdrawal was Trump's election promise, policy and signature on the withdrawal agreement - and it was backed by 75% of Americans.

Biden enacted that policy and TBH if the intelligence had been any good they'd have realised that a strategic force would be required for many years to come.

None of the Republicans are complaining about withdrawing - after all it was their policy - but are having a go at Biden for the way in which it happened, probably because they are freaked out by the speed with which the Taliban took back the country.

Fact is it was Trump who signed the agreement for withdrawal of US troops AND set the deadline of May 1st - so as the Biden camp are now pointing out, their hands were tied.

Good try Lusty but POTUS has fecked up big style, even the Donald is laughing at him. What a fecking to$$er. See the link on Post 25 for Sleepy Joe telling all the world that what's happening right now couldn't possibly happen. The man's a clown Lusty, out of his depth, why are you a fanboy, can't you see he hasn't a fecking clue ?

Could it be you're still suffering from TDS, it does take some getting over I believe. Bit like Long Covid.

Just a wee bit strange the title is, 'Written in Taliban'? Pashto and Dari are the official languages of Afghanistan.

It was written by GI's who were imagining what a Talib would say.

Balam.....If the Pashtun/Taliban believe themselves descendents of King Saul, and consider themselves to be Children of Israel (Bani-Israel)...is it thought, that they are one of the lost tribes, Benjaminite warriors ?

Around 70,000 of the Afghan security forces have lost their lives in this conflict, and this is what the sh1thouse Biden has to say about them, from the safety of his office thousands of miles away of course.

"The Afghan military collapsed, sometimes without trying to fight… American troops cannot and should not be fighting in a war and dying in a war that Afghan forces are not willing to fight for themselves."

Utter contempt for 70,000 soldiers who lost their lives fighting alongside his army, I don't think they all died running away Joe. The man is a weapons grade c-u-n-t, any American who voted for him should hang their head in shame. But I don't think American Democrats do shame.

I'm no fan of Biden other than he's less of a cock than Trumpton who really is a world class ****er.
Biden like a lot of Irish Americans, doesn't like England very much so we're no more likely to get a decent trade deal out of him than the bleach swigging dough boy.
Somebody should tell Blojo.

Norder : I do not follow this lost tribes stuff,

Years ago I volunteered to do something for the Ethiopian Jews who where there in Ethiopia. I gathered volunteers from our Kibbutz, (Brits Americans etc). ( It was a good holiday for them life on the Kibbutz easy going 6 hours work, the rest most likely, the swimming pool, evenings parties, camp fire, beer and the volunteer girls, some Israeli girls too. For the lads Fridays, football 5 a side near the swimming pool.)
So it was raining a little cold but we stood and asked for signatures in order to bring them to Israel . Some of the people's reply's were ''But they are not Jews?'' However the Rabbis under pressure looked into this matter then declared ''they are Jews!'' So you see today Ethiopians are here.

Asked about the poor souls dropping off the US Air Force plane from around 2000 feet Biden angrily replied "that was four er five days ago now!"

Of course not. I think he's a tosser. Just not as big a tosser as Trump, but still a tosser.
