We literally were.

Overall, props to Biden for just doing it even as MSM grills him

Wow

They used their opposition to it to come to power and turned around and did the exact same.

Look at any map of Taliban control

In 2017 they had damn near nothing, so it is possible.

Yup and US soldiers were told to look away

Oh so you think before this, we were stopping the Taliban? Yeah, that's not true at all lmao

does anyone support this lady man

like i dont even know how to respond to this
just a lot of white saviorism and brown people unable to govern themselves rhetoric

We gave up, we knew it was a lost cause. Troop numbers plummeted a decade ago and we’ve only had < 10K there for the past 6 years. Taliban have controlled most of the country for a while now

And US-led nation building attempt just backed and legitimatized a corrupt government that alienated the people. Total disaster

It's not a binary my guy. There were times when the Taliban was at bay and times when they advanced. What don't you understand about less Taliban control being better than more?

leftist idoliogy
Trump not letting in immigrants= bad orange man
Biden being the reason innocent people get bombed, killed & raped= good old man

went in to kill bin Laden and stayed 10 years after we got him

one of the most headass tweets i’ve ever read was that one he posted

Not true whatsoever

how NAIVE to believe foreign intervention is done out of good faith/human rights

Because I look at it from two different ways:
1. We stop the taliban, but commit to permanent commitment there with no exit strategy at all. By permanent, I mean forever
2. We wipe out the Taliban.

We clearly were not eradicating the Taliban so it has to be step 1. This isn't stopping the taliban or preventing them from moving forward in my eyes

and legitimatized a corrupt government that alienated the people. Total disaster

yep this is what it is

ok use "democrat" / "liberal" instead of leftist next time and youll be more accurate
socialists, cmmunists and anarchists exist

The status quo was we had give or take 10k troops and spent around $100 billion yearly, probably significantly less, with casualties significantly under triple digits. So what do we gain by leaving? We get chump change and not enough troops to do anything else. Meanwhile in Kabul alone 4 million people are now under Taliban rule that previously weren't. Is 10k troops and an insignificant amount of our annual tax dollars not a reasonable price to pay to protect those people? No one was asking to reignite the war to what it was a decade ago.
