BREAKING: The Taliban has invited 6 countries to take part in the formal announcement of their new government: Turkey, China, Russia, Iran, Pakistan,

[Care4all]

You can't force people who don't want to leave Afghanistan to leave.

Absolutely!

But there are many, like those men who helped us for 20 years, that do want to get out....who have not gotten their visas cleared, I believe?

We've airlifted 120,000 people out so far.

 

[jknowgood]

Yes, Trump/Pompeo (the USA) negotiated a deal with the Taliban for us to get out....

Biden used that plan to get us out... which was a mistake leading to chaos, and a blessing at the same time.

The U.S. was able to evacuate over 120,000 Afghani and Americans because the Taliban followed the deal with Trump, not to hurt or harm any Americans. The Taliban helped Americans get thru the crowds and in to the airport.

Lol, you're so full of crap. If it went without a hitch, you would give Biden 100% credit. You're a hypocrite.

 

[struth]

Seems pretty clear why China and Iran interfered in our election to get Xiden elected

Statement by NCSC Director William Evanina: Election Threat Update for the American Public

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ODNI News Release No. 29-20 August 7, 2020 Statement by NCSC Director William Evanina: Election Threat Upda...

www.dni.gov

Many foreign actors have a preference for who wins the election, which they express through a range of overt and private statements; covert influence efforts are rarer. We are primarily concerned about the ongoing and potential activity by China, Russia, and Iran.

• CHINA – We assess that China prefers that President Trump – whom Beijing sees as unpredictable – does not win reelection. China has been expanding its influence efforts ahead of November 2020 to shape the policy environment in the United States, pressure political figures it views as opposed to China’s interests, and deflect and counter criticism of China. Although China will continue to weigh the risks and benefits of aggressive action, its public rhetoric over the past few months has grown increasingly critical of the current Administration’s COVID-19 response, closure of China’s Houston Consulate, and actions on other issues. For example, it has harshly criticized the Administration’s statements and actions on Hong Kong, TikTok, the legal status of the South China Sea, and China’s efforts to dominate the 5G market. Beijing recognizes that all of these efforts might affect the presidential race.
• IRAN – We assess that Iran seeks to undermine U.S. democratic institutions, President Trump, and to divide the country in advance of the 2020 elections. Iran’s efforts along these lines probably will focus on on-line influence, such as spreading disinformation on social media and recirculating anti-U.S. content. Tehran’s motivation to conduct such activities is, in part, driven by a perception that President Trump’s reelection would result in a continuation of U.S. pressure on Iran in an effort to foment regime change.

Any further extent, has not been investigated to my knowledge...though a full Mueller type probe could be warranted.

 

[struth]

Prove it or shut up.

Prove what? We know they interfered according to the Intel community....and now it looks like they are enjoying the rewards of that.

 

[jknowgood]

You have no crystal ball.... Only your imagination.

Lol, I know liberals. Biden made the decision no matter what. He is at fault 100%.

No-go zone for USA and its poodles despite spending trillions of $.

 

[ekrem]

Tell me which US think-tank, newspaper columnists got anything right about US combat missions in last 20 years ?
All of them just chair buttocks receiving their paycheck from the swamp and bullshitting the US taxpayer.

 

[ekrem]

Instead of giving trillion-$ assesments on Afghanistan please give an assesment if Texans will freeze to death this winter again due to crumbling infrastructure and power outages ?

So what makes you the expert on US combat missions?

USA achieved nothing in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria else than spending next generation of US taxpayers' money (debt).
Don't need to be an expert to assess that USA fucked up really bad, all whilst USA's adversaries signifcantly improved their standing and position in the world economically and geopolitical. Before Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria US president was in a position to state "with us or against us", today USA almost lost economical+technological race to China. And a bunch of other regional powers have expanded their position at the expense of USA (+its poodles).

The Iraq War saved NATO. If people are into that sort of thing. Now Biden is screwing that up. Iraq also served to keep Middle Eastern extremists in the Middle East. Nor has there been any talk of Iraq abandoning the petro-dollar, which Saddam was going to do. You fail to mention Libya, why?

Major NATO countries like Germany, France, Turkey rejected US yellow-powder, mobile chemical-weapon trains shitshow on Iraq.

"saving NATO"
First save the future of your children fiscally from mismanagement

 

[Rogue AI]

Major NATO countries like Germany, France, Turkey rejected US yellow-powder, mobile chemical-weapon trains shitshow on Iraq.

They went to Afghanistan, where they could operate in a stand alone capacity. NATO was designed to counter a Soviet invasion, most of the smaller member countries would have been useless in Afghanistan. There were issues of capacity and access, that wasn't the case in Iraq. For NATO to survive a second front was necessary.

Most judgements are based on past experiences, or past wisdom, or past assesments.
Humans have problems adapting to the present when judging the future as they base their judgement on past data/experiences.

You can't rely on achievement of WW2 US Johny or Reagan-Kennedy achievements going forward
Time is ticking. And unlike the other Superpowers in history this time everything you did was documented in newspapers and in the internet, forever here to stay.
How many governments did you overthrow, how many bombs did you drop on countless nations ?
Once USA looses superpower status I imagine a rough road ahead for you as there's much negative attitudes towards USA
