2-0 vs world super powers.

I think the USA is now Owen 13 since their back to back world war championships.

    Sounds like we should send some troops there.

    Saw on Twitter that Biden was able to do what Obama and Trump couldn't do. Get out

    Its true. Obama was afraid to be the guy that lost Afghanistan. Trump would have been impeached. Again. For abandoning our allies in Afghanistan

    Joe gets a pass. He's not Trump

    Nothing else matters

    Hell. Obama said Afghanistan was the “real war” and we needed to increase troops there when he ran for office in 2008.

    After he was elected, he announced when they would be withdrawn after it took him months to decide how many to add.

    Perhaps, sending more of our Humvees to the Taliban to expedite things would be more pleasing to you.

    Meanwhile, the Biden Administration is furiously trying to re-establish negotiations with the Taliban.

    Biden is also helped because his opponents aren't massive hypocrites like @HHusky

    I'm not going to say we should stay or go depending on who is in office

    Trump would want to pull troops and the left would start screaming about the Kurds

    Afghanistan was doomed. If they aren't ready after 20 years they never will be

    He's begging them not to take the embassy
