It didn't come easy or free, but the Taliban is know bending it's knee to Trump. Not Bush, Not Obama, TRUMP.
Please. Have some dignity.
The Taliban aren't bending the knee - they're biding their time before celebrating their victory, like the North Vietnamese before them.
I think getting out is the right thing, for us and for Afghanistan, but it's not going to be good. (Not that it's good now, before we withdraw, either.) Giving up and leaving was never going to be easy for the United States, and maybe it will take a liar and conman like Dump to do what should be done.
But if you want to start putting smug political spins on a decades old-disaster, it's not going to be good for Donald. What will happen after we leave will be ugly. And it will be really easy for those who hate the current administration, or for those who want more war, to go, "Only Cadet Bonespurs would have abandoned our Afghani allies. The coward sold out our Afghan allies to a horrible fate and threw away the sacrifices of countless American servicemen and servicewomen just to distract from impeachment and make his disastrous term look a little better as he runs for re-election. "
Ironically enough, the military achieved all of it's military goals. It was the politics at home that fell short. And now here again, the exact same thing is happening. Americans at home don't have the stomach to stay and do what is proper. The non-interventionism is my biggest disagreement with Trump.
