lol, you're so full of shit. I actually know people in Texas, most born and raised don't give a fuck about the border. The new transplants seeing Texas as some conservative heaven do however. Wheels Abbott can't even match high energy sleepy Joe, sad! As to the rest, here, educate yourself: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/the-border-crisis-on-steroids.356912/page-34#post-5430754
Nobody could have seen this coming. Well, no libtard could have seen this coming. It was blatantly obvious to everyone else. https://nypost.com/2021/08/07/b-52s...ught-to-stop-taliban-advances-in-afghanistan/ B-52s lead new US airpower onslaught to stop Taliban advances in Afghanistan The United States was sending B-52 bombers, AC-130 gunships and fighter jets into Afghanistan Saturday to turn back dramatic recent advances by the Taliban. The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress bombers, the mainstay of American strategic airpower since 1952, were flying into Afghanistan from al-Udeid airbase in Qatar, The Times of London reported, citing Defense Department sources. The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan, stationed in the Arabian Sea, is contributing its F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jets to the missions, but they are not involved in the bombing, the report states. Lockheed AC-130 Spectre attack planes, dubbed “the world’s deadliest gunship,” have also been sent into action. The onslaught of American airpower comes as the Taliban makes territorial gains throughout Afghanistan in the wake of the near-total departure of U.S. forces ordered by President Biden.
I think they are totally botching an orderly withdrawal and that their expectations to prop up a western government is so stupid as to be difficult to process. But... I agree that we should leave Afghanistan. Keep an eye on things but let it play out on the ground. Use Afghanistan as a weapons proving ground when necessary if they export terrorism. Let Pakistan worry about the Taliban because its their government that is going to be destabilized by them eventually. War is a seasonal sport in Afghanistan... the national sport. They drop their farm implements and pick up a weapon and go make war on *whomever* every single year and have done so for thousands of years. Then they go home for the harvest. If they don't have the US or Russia to fight they will fight each other. You aren't going to put McDonalds and Starbucks in Kabul. Fuggetaboudit.
We should have been out of there years ago, this was inevitable. What’s hypocritical is the left’s silence on Biden’s midnight retreat. They blasted Trump for pulling out and leaving the Kurds defenseless. But crickets when it comes to Biden pulling out without a word to anyone, leaving every U.S. friendly Afgan to the Taliban.
They are doing it for different reasons. Trump objected to our prolonged presence in Afghanistan on principle and reason. I suppose he was looking at cost/benefit and risk to US personnel. Biden just wants the money to extend free medical care to illegal aliens and other socialism programs. Every dollar will be spent on whatever damages America the most.
This never happened. If by "the left" you mean MSM and establishment dems, they've regularly criticized the withdrawal (as I've posted much of their reporting on the other Afghanistan thread). The Afghanistan withdrawal is getting as much if not more coverage than the Kurd abandonment.
What I haven’t heard is Biden’s name being associated with the fiasco. He is Commander in Chief of the Military?
Nobody could have seen this coming. Well, no libtard could have seen this coming. Biden has no plan at all. It is a complete failure of leadership. https://www.breitbart.com/asia/2021...us-troops-back-afghanistan-temporary-mission/ Pentagon Deploying 3,000 U.S. Troops Back to Afghanistan in ‘Temporary’ Mission
