Administration Sends Military To Afghanstain And Other Countries

Seems that this administration is surprised that the Taliban isn't following the administration's predicted outcome to the withdrawl of the milititary. Did they really think that the Tailban was concerned about the worlds opinion of them? Obviously not, since we are sending the military back to Afghanstain and other countries to protect the American personnel and certain Afghans.
I vividly remember Siagon, and hope the Tailban sets backs and laughs their asses off and wait until we leave before they. take over Kabul. I feel sorry for the people of Afghanstain, and especially the women, that will revert back to the middle ages under the Tailban.
I'm glad we are leaving, because until all of the people of Afghanstain stand up a fight against the Tailban there is nothing that can be done.

Please remember that the withdrawal agreement was signed under trumps watch so no need to gloat so much eh?

Nearly one trillion U,S. dollars wasted there, I would have much rather the U.S. withdrawn her troops out of Afghanistan soon after the threat of Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden had been eliminated by the military action taken as ordered by then U.S. Commander-in-Chief Barrack Hussein Obama.

This has been an ongoing issue for the U.S. for many, many decades. Not just in Afghanistan, but in countries all over the world that fall into various forms of despotism. The sad truth is that we still have not yet devised an effective way of responding to it. We keep sending the military in to "make peace", but that is NOT what a military is for, or what they are designed to do. They can respond to violence with superior violence, and force an end to violent aggression, but they cannot 'create peace'. Yet for some reason, both the American public, and the U.S. government, just cannot seem to get this into their heads. We seem to have somehow brainwashed ourselves into thinking that the force of overwhelming violence is the only possible solution to any problem we have with the behavior of other humans. Even here at home we are swimming in guns and gun violence because we see the use of guns as the only viable solution to our problems with each other. We aren't even willing to 'create peace' amongst each other, let alone in or among other nations.

So this same kind of militarized stalemate just keep on happening as we invade nation after nation, and then when we leave, the reason we went in is still completely intact and able to re-emerge because the whole time we were there and occupying these places we had done exactly NOTHING to eradicate it. We don't know how to effect positive change at home without violent force, and we don't know how to effect positive change anywhere else without violent force. And violent force does not effect positive change. All it can do is force a freeze on negative aggression.

Oh, but the low-information Trumpettes tend to conveniently forget a lot.

The lesson we should have remembered from Vietnam is that occupying another country and trying to set up our fashion of government simply doesn't work. They live there-- we don't.

What makes you think I don't know that the withdrawl was formulated under the Trump Administration?
What neither of you realize that there has to be a plan in place to accompish the withdrawl.
So ask yourself how's the Biden plan working?
That is if they even had one that looked at possible problems.

Just the way you seem to gloat over anything trump left for biden to sort out

Not bidens plan but trump's plan, biden simply has to sort the mess trump left behind.

And you revel in the **** storm he left behind

The withdrawal is simple. Leave. What not even Trump could have achieved, is to keep our allies in power without direct military support from us.

Do you even think that Biden would put into action any "plan" that the previous administration formulated?
So obviously you think it was the previous administration that got us into Afghanstain. That probably is an indication of your thought process.

Yeah, but that has nothing to do with our Allies in Afghanistan holding on to power. But the way, I think I was Bush Junior that got us into it and Trump that got us out and Biden went along with that.

If it becomes necessary to go somewhere due to existing conflict, reducing conflict as much as possible and respecting/acknowledging/referencing the culture and -more importantly, people -of the region in order to help them cause and maintain their own peace is optimal. More peace=fewer problems=less micromanagement (it's actually a good thing).
Even those who refuse peace should have no valid point against any intention or action -and any intention or action should -by its nature -be honorable and correct -with highest positive regard for people -which will in turn quite obviously point out fallacy and invalidate points of those who oppose and disrupt peace or act without valid cause.

Best case scenario -any bad guys also acknowledge they have no valid point against you or your goals.

Do you think that everything stops and changes when a new president takes office? Plans were made long before biden was elected. Had he not continued the action you would have been griping about that too.

Obviously bull****, if all you can do is guess to try to better your opposition that is truly pathetic and says much about your lack of thought process

Do you think Biden should have reneged on Trump's plans and ordered US troops to stay put?

The US is not the "good guy" in this scenario.
I purposefully did not identify any group as good or bad guys -and did not refer to that scenario -just made a general statement.
Groups are made up of all sorts of "guys", anyway -so that gets pretty tricky.

He's actually kept at least several policies from Trump. Like immigration. Biden doesn't look all that different from Trump. Like kids still being caged.

It just once again, shows lack of foresight and seeing what's obvious.

Still, I guess it's good to see the reemergence of troops.

I'm almost certain if we hadn't, the Russians would of stepped in to fill the void.

Have you actually read the article?



You have to explain that more.

Oh, once again playing the game of, "Did you actually read the article" nonsense again I see. Gotta have a hobby I suppose.

Anyways. Short-term memory is failing?

Russia already voiced its intent as well as Iran. Its been well publicized.

Eat brain food.

In the interim, here's a little jab to help ya while you experience the memory affliction ...
