Settle down it's all going to be OK......
I`m sorry, I want NEITHER of them, and I just would NEVER be able to bring myself to wish we had that sniveling little anti-America, anti-freedom, condescending little twerp back in office. I seriously feel nauseated ANY time I see or hear that little son-of-a-bitch. I haven`t disliked a politician so much since slick willie. Slick willie is a filthy little man, but Hussein obama is EVIL.You'd rather have Biden than Obama?
My post was in response to Obama 2.0.
Biden is not more of the same to me, he's much worse.
Nothing to do with this is easy, that`s to be sure. But, every president has advisors, and their advisors generally lean the same way as the Administration does. It`s just my humble opinion, but liberals are insane. I have never agreed 100% with everything any conservative Administration has done, but at least they usually act within an acceptable set of core guidelines.I have no idea what the correct course of action might have been, and I seriously doubt Trump had any better ideas than me. However, considering that throughout his term in office there were an endless stream of articles assuring us that the professionals throughout the government and military were ignoring him to limit the damage he could do, he is the one President in the last 20 years that one can make a case had little to do with the outcome.
Waiting for TUS to tell us that the Taliban (indeed the world) impression of Biden as a weak, vacillating senile old man had nothing to do with this and the same thing would have happened if Trump was still in charge20 years, countless lives and a boatload of dollars up in smoke in a matter of a few days. Well done.
Which is why we need a President and Congress who takes care of this Nation first, and worries about other nations last. Foreign entanglements should be relegated to those who are truly a positive symbiotic relationship, or a clear and present danger. If it's the latter, you get in kill what needs to be killed, and get out. "Nation building" is always a loser!We built these people a huge 335 electric power plant and it supplies Kubal. They are so behind the times they only use about 1% of the energy it can produce, we also spent 100 million upgrading another plant that was already there. This is all going to the taliban.
We've built them new hospitals and furnished them as well as rebuilt older ones. All going to the taliban.
State of the art water plants.
The list goes on and on.
Point is very few people over there appreciate what we gave them. They would rather live like they did in the 1700's.
Trump was gonna pull out on the same timeline. Do wonder why you keep bring Trump into the conversation though. Almost like an obsession.Waiting for TUS to tell us that the Taliban (indeed the world) impression of Biden as a weak, vacillating senile old man had nothing to do with this and the same thing would have happened if Trump was still in charge
That mission has been successful.”
Might as well just airdrop directly to the Taliban and cut out the middle man. The ANA are showing zero initiative to defend 21st Century living. We've been trying to teach the AFG folks how to fish with the best tackle out there for 2 decades and all they've exhibited is a willingness to cut bait. At this point, I hope they enjoy their return to a medieval lifestyle and if they don't, may their death be quick. I'll be spending a few days visiting the graves of a few soldiers who died there, trying to convince myself that their sacrifice was worth the opportunity that AFG citizens were given to have a better life and squandered ASAP.Air drop a boatload of guns and two boatloads of ammo over every city and let them sort it out.
^^^ QFT ^^^Former 11B from the 80's.....didn't like the idea of being over there for that long, knew in my heart it would never change things, felt sick for all the guys fighting it. My son then decided he wanted to join and go....we had a talk and then later he decided not to join. His reason at the time was it was stupid, if the enemy was shooting at you then put his gun down you couldn't engage and shoot, I remember that nonsense and glad my son didn't go. This wasn't a war, war is when you kill everything and everyone need to be killed and yes even sometime the innocent, take over completely. America doesn't have "wars" anymore....just police actions with lots of rules. I think Trump would of handled it different, but only to the extent that the Taliban would of only waited until we were all the way out, then same results. These people had 20 years to train every man woman and child to carry a AK and fight to the death against the Taliban. They didn't and it was never up to us to make them do what they don't want, lost cause before it ever started. But hey the politicians made their $$$ under the table.
We don`t live in a vacuum. It could be argued that had certain issues been dealt with earlier, World Wars 1 & 2 might have been avoided. The same argument could be made for the horrific attacks on America on September 11, 2001. Unfortunately as the world`s leader, and the nation with the most wealth and resources, the United States must be involved globally and there is a financial cost to bear as well as a cost in lives. We can`t appease everyone and make them like us, but we can do what`s right and proper regardless of what anyone else thinks about us.Which is why we need a President and Congress who takes care of this Nation first, and worries about other nations last. Foreign entanglements should be relegated to those who are truly a positive symbiotic relationship, or a clear and present danger. If it's the latter, you get in kill what needs to be killed, and get out. "Nation building" is always a loser!
AirDrop? We just spent billions arming the ANA and providing them enough ammo for the next 40 years. That all will belong to the taliban by eowAir drop a boatload of guns and two boatloads of ammo over every city and let them sort it out.
Not sure I understand you.You know, Einstein proved simultaneity was an illusion. That correlation/causation thing is in play there
Embassy and the airport under attack and taking fire. Not good. My guess is some paratroopers from the 82nd who have dreamed their whole life about doing a combat jump will get their chance tonight
