JFC…Biden’s direct policy decisions have caused both, period.

I thought we were all in agreement that we wanted an end to endless wars.

Well this is how it happens.

For the record I agree, despite the previous admin's shortcomings and complete lack of respect for the job the translators did, Biden should've come up with a plan to safely evacuate all of them. But at the same time, I'm glad they're doing something about it now.

All in agreement? No we weren't. Under Obama, the decision was made to use Special Forces and a limited presence to deny the Taliban control of Afghanistan . This worked - we got to the point were costs and more importantly the casualties were low (to the point where fewer were dying or being injured than in normal training). Biden decided to go with the Trump plan.

America forgot what we went there in the first place for. (If you have one of those 9/11 never forget bumper stickers on your car tear it off). https://www.nbcnews.com/news/mideast...cials-n1276614

Cool. I concede that argument, and raise the other argument that the majority of Americans (that's 51% or over if you need numbers) are in agreement that we can't keep wasting money and American lives in Aghanistan.

Yeah I know but my last statement stands - America did forget. Just add the never forget slogan to the dustbin that holds the never again slogan (How many genocides have occurred since 1945?).

There's one happening in China right now, but we look the other way because we're too reliant on China as a country to even consider serious repercussions for their slaughter of Uighurs.

About 10 or 11.

No…it doesn’t end with genocide and a humanitarian crisis. This has nothing to do with Trump. You honestly think is about translators

Biden solely owns this disaster.

I just can't.

I have too much respect for this forum to tell you how little respect I have for you right now.
