Curious... is the Trump administration guilty of murder for 40+ civilians being killed at a wedding party from a drone strike in September of 2019 in Afghanistan? This is a tragedy but let's not pretend like this is unique to this administration.

What about just a few days earlier when a drone killed 30 civilians? They really need to bomb pine nut farmers resting after a harvest? Because that's what they did.

More selective outrage from duhduh... par for the course.

Let’s see. We’re the targets at those sites when the bombs went off?

This is what should have always been part of the calculus.

It may seem all nice between the Muslims and the CCP now but in short order the CCP will be dealing with the ramifications of their cultural genocide. I’m thrilled they are trying to involve themself in the region. Global Jihad makes no distinction in the color of the infidels skin.

The CCP hates Muslims. We had ROE rules while in Afghanistan. China isn’t going to play by those rules if it came down to it

“If anybody believes that the previous administration would’ve evacuated

any Afghans to the US much less tens of thousands as President Biden did,

I would suggest they ask the Kurds their opinion of that”

I doubt Trump would have handled it any better but that doesn't let Biden off the hook. I don't want to use Trump as the benchmark for Biden. I'd rather compare him to other presidents and there probably hasn't been one in my life that would have screwed it up this badly.
 
No other President was tasked with an end of war evacuation of this scale.

Of course on a video game it goes smoother.
That seems the benchmark to most .

Why was it so important to fault Biden ?
Almost immediately?
Not even a day into this it was characterized a failure.

That would have been like for lack of a better example faulting Trump for 100K deaths in life March 2020
 
Of course there were misteps.
An operation of this magnitude it is a given things will go wrong
Like in baseball it isn't the error so much as what you do after the error.
 
Why are you so eager to defend it when it was so obviously a disaster by almost all accounts?


I think you doth protest too much. Or just be consistent. Pick one.
 
Defend ?
Don't see what there is to condemn or praise.
We evacuated the land where empires go to die on the other side of the globe .

Let's wait for the dust to settle before we praise or condemn.

5 years from now we will know what really happened in context

Yes.

I've never understood the casually careless bombing over there. Blowing up innocent people is not a good way to convince others to stop blowing up your own innocent people.

I’m glad but you are also one of the more level headed around here.

Well you aren’t gonna catch me being a Biden supporter. I was just trying to point out duhduh’s hypocrisy which he doubled down on. Wasn’t a reply for level headed posters like you and Jaw.

Still not understanding why India and Japan aren’t included in this counter China proposal but I still like it.

Great job all around.

The ccp needs to be removed from power immediately.
 
Is it true that Tyrant Trudeau is allowing free and fair elections in Canada where a new tyrant might be selected?
