I dunno, I am not aware of any material downside to my life while we're wearing that albatross for what we did in Iraq.
It’s criminal to abandon those who helped and fought alongside our troops. But the question needs to be asked, why in hell didn’t we evacuate everyone before pulling out? What a cluster fuck this has become and now going back in after the fact, our troops are facing an inherently much more dangerous mission.
Look this started based on a poster saying this debacle was indicative of declining American power. It’s not. American power is as strong as ever. I agree we in America need to be more restrained in our use of power. And I get that’s nuanced but it’s also true.
Trump said today that the military was supposed to evacuate ALL support personnel, contractors and journalists first and the military would be the last to leave. He also said that his plan was to bring back almost all of the vehicles and hardware. Biden and the General Fucktards decided to abandon that plan and now we have historic chaos.
Repeating a falsehood numerous time doe not make at truth. The US left Afghanistan after a botched operation. Do you think Russia or China of is fearful of American military power? China actions in Hong Kong is a test run for invading Taiwan. The US failed miserably.
I think they respect it, yes. We've got nukes, too, and supposedly that's why everyone in the ME is afraid of Israel.
Let us now be thankful we won't lose any more American lives in this contard created military adventurism disaster.
