Biden managed to lose the war in less than a year of taking office. Impressive.

A distinction without a difference.

@Anonymous-rp1rs I actually voted for Biden, because I thought his decisions would be fueled more by logic than ego. I was wrong, because this is clearly an ego driven decision. He could have kept the airforce and intelligence forces in the country without any risks to US lives, but he rather completely withdraw just so he can say he ended the war. Obama did the same thing in Iraq which then lead to ISIS taking over.

@DeanCorso321 That is a false dichotomy. Americans have been off the front lines since Obama was president. There is minimal risk to American lives if he kept troops there to train, collect intelligence, and provide airpower. There is risk for the special forces operations, but many of those soldiers seem to support the idea of directly engaging the enemy.

@Anonymous-rp1rs Because we weren't willing to negotiate until after we gave up all of our leverage. If we negotiated when the Taliban was losing, then we would have had a chance to end the war without letting a terrorist organization take over the country. We now have nothing to offer for peace terms, because Biden already gave the Taliban what they want without anything in return.

@DeanCorso321 Biden already withdrew military assets from the country. The very few airstrikes that are happening are from far away military bases outside the country.
