With Trumps support, he was pressuring the president of Afghanistan to continue to leave troops in country for anti terrorism defense. Biden simply gave up and ran. From what I've read, the plan was a ruse against the taliban. A much deserved ruse. You simply cannot trust them like biden tried to again, and lost. So in other words a REAL negotiator goes back on settled terms, and settles them when he might not be able to complete the transaction. Remind me not to do business with you.

And why on earth do you think 'he' would be pressuring the Afghan government to allow troops to remain when 'he' just went behind the Afghan government's back and signed a deal with the Taliban to leave and let them get on with it? 21 minutes ago, turtlespeed said: From what I've read, the plan was a ruse against the taliban. A much deserved ruse. This is fucking insane. It's a fantasy. It is based on nothing but your obvious need to kiss the orange ass. Trump stopped fighting the Taliban in early 2020. He left the Afghan defence forces alone and unsupported for a year before Biden took office, a year in which they crumbled and the Talban surged. And seriously - let's get this straight. I asked you specifically what part of the agreement Biden reneged on, right? And you are actually saying that Biden reneged on reneging on it... because it was always Trump's plan to renege on it? Fucking hell son, we've had our share of hardcore fanatics in here but you score a solid 10 out of 10 on the Kool Aid scale, you really do. 21 minutes ago, turtlespeed said: You simply cannot trust them like biden tried to again, and lost. Biden did not trust them, Trump did. Biden was faced with either reneging on Trump's binding agreement and instituting another massive troop surge just to regain the position that Trump gave away, or adhering to Trump's agreement and accepting that Afghanistan was already lost.

tkhayes 348 #2645 December 21, 2024 So back to woke…. Let me see, rapist husband drugged his wife and raped and pumped her out for decades in France. texas police chief rapes and abuses and terrorizes his town using his position of power to intimidate people after working in 8 different police agencies in 11 years. all crimes. All adjudicated. All convicted but let’s say for a minute, that it would appear in most of modern history that no female cop used her power to rape teenagers and no women ever drugged her husband to be gang raped by all her friends, and maybe…. just maybe these cases become the subject of some education institutions, sociology classes or studies,or the statistics used in a policy think tank to further public policy, safety or legislative treatment/punishment/safety options and then we actually CHANGE early education for children or other public outreach to help everyone in society understand how wrong these things are and ways to deal with sexual issues before they become rapists and abusers? is that woke? Does that fall under the auspices of say Florida education where men should be dominant and we can’t talk about that because afteralll all the sex crimes are the result it pedo trans folks in little girls bathrooms? asking for a friend. Dare any institution discuss the overwhelming evidence to support the study of sex crimes and dominance demanded and executed by the male half of our species? is that woke? And thus taboo?

Note, we’re talking about the actual withdrawal agreement that Trump negotiated, approved, and was abiding by until he left office - not the stuff you imagine was written in the back in invisible ink.
