@landdealsCA Yeah,yeah, Like Trump or any republican, wouldn't have done it the same way. If not worse. If u have ever been in the military, u know the old saying,," hurry up and wait". We don't know who exactly, makes the first command, or made it. The decision to leave was made during trump's watch, way before Biden was elected. I do agree, after 20 years, even one more year wouldn't have made a big difference. We could have slowed it. But everyone, parents of troops, troops themselves, the majority of the public, were pumped to go. But to just blame any one person, or administration is shortsighted at best.

@landdealsCA Unlike trump's behind the scene deals, Bidens choices are right out in the open. We never even knew about the Taliban deals till now. Unlike trump, investigation will be almost nothing because Biden try ran on doing exactly what he did. Like I said, I'm not sure if he insisted on any moves without question, and as for any aid or renewed change s to how things are going, I'm sure he'll make whatever needs to happen, happen. So that this mess doesn't have to continue as is. As for the other allies involved in the battle. I have to think he communicated with them before going ahead. Maybe noone knew the Taliban was just waiting in the wings, to swoop in, maybe if Trump would have been a normal x president, he'd have filled Biden in on everything they did, as to the agreement made with them, they could have figured in the possibility. You're right about one thing. If they do investigate everything that occurred, prior to and afterwards the transfer of power, the world will see once again as usual, trump had his size 00 hands in on it and 80% of it will fall on his ego trippin tiny brain.
Unlike trump, Biden probably listens to his advisors. But, also Biden will accept all the responsibility. Again unlike trump, that only accepts the good things, and denies all that is not to his benefit. But I'm sure you, and other trump sheep will only accept anything totally holding Biden to blame.
All I know is,for years, this police action frustrated presidents. Cause your damned if you do, damned if you don't. He took the shot and made the decision.

True, and we here have to do the same. These Republicans, actually throwing blame on Ukraine, and practically praising, Putin. They need to be ousted from their seats in the Senate, the house, whatever government position they hold. And we are the only ones that can speak out against them as well.
Russia is not as free a society as we are. It's harder for them to speak out, without fear of ,,,, possibly anything. But there are people pushing back. And those people should be applauded.

@d.s.5807 No ones leaving anyone there to be tortured. And,the only idiots that made deals with the Taliban,were Pimpao. Sent by ur glorious leader, Mr art of the deal. There was never a deal that wasn't for his personal benefit. Bidens not a fool. And he's definitely not a heartless,soulless person, that would leave anyone where they are in harms way.
Why do you believe whats done todate is it?
As for the afghans freedom. How would you handle their fight for their own independence? Everyone else in the free world, being there forever, dying for them, while they sit and do nothing, or them standing up for their own freedoms, even if battle had to be part of that freedom?
So many arm chair quarterback's. Blaming others for what they themselves wouldn't know what to do.
Hop on a plane. Go to Afghanistan. You make the deal. See the reality. We all sit here and criticize. We re good at that.

We learned nothing from Vietnam, Korea. You can't have a,,,nice war. Nobody wants outsiders in their business. Either u plan good, go in smart and hard, or all your gonna do is have a police action. Then when you leave, things go right back to the way it was.
I thought trump went in and worked his magic act, with the art of the deal. And made a pact with the Taliban to be cool. That's what I thought.
Crazy, isn't it? The US has every tech and military modern tool on earth, and we can't put down hundreds of relativity untrained, undernourished, bearded cave dwellers. And even after 20 years, couldn't figure out, how to fight them thoroughly. Sad.

I believe the Russian military sees this as an attack on their own people, and are NOT,, 100% behind it. This is why they are not destroying as much as they can. Even Russian generals and officers are not going whole hog into this, because they see it as an attack on their own.
Soldiers are people first, that have families, friends and just shear humanitarianship, in themselves. Are saying in private,,,, I'm not going to war with my sister, brother, uncle, etc, just to serve the leader. Of course just like anywhere, you'll have your troop that has total following to his leader, and will blindly do whatever told.

Strange isn't it. These Ukrainian people speak English better than many of us. Yet smart, genius Putin, of almost 70 years of age, speaks no English. It seems. Maybe for reasons we don't know, he speaks none anyway. Proving a point, he's Russian, thru and thru. Or does he see no reason to speak any.
Faith in God isn't supposed to be a prerequisite to be a justice does it? Considering our constitution says, separation of church and state. Meaning, we don't judge a person that's committed a crime, on their religion. Or even if they have one.
Sorry Graham. But we or I, didn't say Barret was a nut,, because of her faith. We called her a nut because she has the desire to force other women to live by her standards. Making it illegal to get an abortion, no matter what. Amongst other criterion she'd like to change that's been law for decades.
Planes are only machines under human control. Just like cars, motorcycles anything motorized. Failure from one, the other, or both accidents are inevitable. Sad as it is.
I'm so sick of Desantrump and his politically motivated rules he wants to impose. There are so many other things important to everyone. His hypocrisy of, on one side, we the people,, have the right to do things as we see fit. Then on the other, he imposses his will on many others. Can't have it both ways trump, er desantis.
