Should US oil cpompanies who sell their oil outside of the US lose their subsidies?

This talking point is trying to blame Biden for all the gear and training the US has sent to Afghanistan in the 20 year occupation. Hardly worth mentioning the 5 bases some of that 83 billion went to, Trump evacuated or the more than 10,000 troops he pulled out even though he was informed that the Taliban was not meeting most all of the Doha Accord conditions. Not to forget, the gear that was still operational was being used by the Afghan Army.

A draw down is not a complete evacuation and a hell of a lot of that gear and vehicles was at Bagram which we also abandoned.

You can't put Biden's failure off on Trump, it was his decision, his planning and his execution that resulted in that debacle.
 
What does it matter who it was used by.
Correct. That they were in use and being used by our allies is what matters. Some how you guys think the Generals withdrawal plan that didn't destroy the weapons the Afghan army was using to defend themselves was somehow wrong?
The so-called Afghan army ran for the hills when they learned Dementia was pulling out. He should have had our military take that gear with us or at the very least, send some bombs there to blow it up rendering it useless.
That's not true at all. Battle for territory were raging through July with the US providing air support for our allies. The collapse of the Government in Kabul was the final straw. Biden gets the blame for not re-invading and taking back Kabul too. The General said that they could have done it too. But they would have to break the truce
. In the last year and a half of Trump's presidency, not one US solder was killed. He had Afghanistan well under control.
That truce only extended to the US and our EU allies. As long as no US soldiers were KIA is what ya'll consider under control. The war between the US backed Afghan Army and The Taliban continued. ISIS continued to be active, especially in Kabul where several SBings occurred in 2020.
Trump's entire plan was to get out of Afghanistan, but not the way Dementia did.
He order the complete withdrawal by Jan 15th 2021, apparently in a fit of rage when his loss to Joe was announced, out of spite, seeking revenge.
He flip-flopped of course and ordered all but 2500 troops to be withdrawn as a gift to Joe.

As the average numbers show, it did for several weeks.

If they'd been being used by the ANA then they would not have been falling into Taliban Hands within hours or days of the withdrawal.

Your story is full of holes.

The Generals testified that they degraded all the US equipment especially at that base.

I'm not blaming Trump for anything Biden did. Biden didn't order the evacuation of all the troops except the ones needed to support the ongoing operation by our allies one week before the next President was to take office. Trump did that.

Biden didn't negotiate the accords in Doha and he's not the one who let the Taliban slide on all but one of the conditions in those accords while we continued to withdraw. Trump did that. Biden did take advantage of the truce and the extension of it after the fall of Kabul. Biden is to blame for not re-invading and forcing the Taliban to comply with the condition that Trump didn't I suppose. And he gets the blame for extending the mission long enough to let an ISIS suicide bomber get through too.

After 20 year of war? 83 billion. Hahaha.

Saul Biden. It wasn't a 20 year failed occupation Joe got us out of......
 
Sure you did. I can tell. :eusa_shhh:

lol I lasted more than two years, and anybody with half a brain knew to buy certain oil company stick when G.W. was running for his first term for Prez. You proably lost your ass because you never bothered to keep up with real business news and just read the tout sheets put out by bookies.

You display your ignorance in just two sentences. Commodities are not stocks. Commodities are contracts. In stocks you buy a part of the company. In commodities you buy the actual product.

President Trump wanted us out of there more than Dementia. Trump was taking steps for a successful and safe withdrawal. Confused Dementia threw a bomb in the air with his eyes closed to see what would happen.

In interviews Trump said under his leadership, step one would be bring back the equipment or destroy it before one solder was removed.

Step two would be to warn Americans we were leaving, and if the Taliban blocks any American like they did with Dementia, we were going to kick their ass to the other side of the moon.

Step three was to show our loyalty to all our foreign help, you know, those people who were pathetically holding on to those air plane wings in the video even if it meant they could hold on to their death? They were tortured and killed. Instead, he let a slew of people come to America unchecked, unvaccinated, and unvettted. We have no idea who these people are, even if they were in the Taliban.

Dementia met with the family of the 13 military people he killed. Critics said he spent more time talking about his family than theirs.

What truce? Truces are not written in stone, truces are an agreement to certain terms. Dementia could withdraw the truce and create his own if he wanted. You're talking about a joker that reversed nearly all Trump's successful border policies creating the mess we have now that will get much worse when title 42 ends. Your excuse making is overt and pathetic.

That truce only extended to the US and our EU allies. As long as no US soldiers were KIA is what ya'll consider under control. The war between the US backed Afghan Army and The Taliban continued. ISIS continued to be active, especially in Kabul where several SBings occurred in 2020.

That started after Dementia was declared the new US President. The Taliban was scared to death of Trump because if they didn't meet his demands, we weren't going anywhere. If they tried to escalate violence, Trump would be sending more troops to defeat them.

He order the complete withdrawal by Jan 15th 2021, apparently in a fit of rage when his loss to Joe was announced, out of spite, seeking revenge.

Bullshit. Again, a new President doesn't have to honor shit unless it's passed by Congress and signed into policy. That's how Trump was able to withdraw from the commie Paris Peace Accords that this moron got us back into.

As the average numbers show, it did for several weeks.

And what months were that? Look, I'll even use one of your own sources, ABC news. You can't argue against one of your own. This was written almost a year ago.

Democrats began being experts at putting lipstick on a pig since this dementia patient started to screw up the country.

The Keystone pipeline still does operate under those rules. For some reason morons have been sold the nonsense the XL is the only pipeline out there, too stupid to look at a map of the actual Keystone pipeline, along with the other 300,000 miles of pipelines. Like you commies, most of the 'Right' here are just Party shills parroting whatever mindless bullshit they're told to.
Keystone was obviously a strategic pipeline, a pipeline of significance. Both the pro KeyStone and anti-Keystone put a premium on it. Instead of calling people morons, maybe you ought to ask why the premium from both sides?
 
We always hear from the right that US oil can lower gas prices, but the truth is that the vast majority of US oil is sold to other countries, because the oil companies can make more money exporting it than selling it domestically.

I think we should stop subsidizing any oil company that does not sell at least 51% of the oil they drill in the US. The American taxpayers shouldn't be forced to subsidize companies that only care about profit and don't care about helping their country.
Yes
 
The Afghan Army abandoned the equipment because being in possession of it would have made them targets for the Taliban.
They gave up. Tell the truth. They were given the equipment to fight and folded in two weeks. The freedom that 2,500 american troops gave their lives for afghans didn't want to fight for.
 
The average hovered around 3 and obviously in places went over. It wasn't that amazing considering the strong and record breaking economy he was handed by Obama.

The industry doesn't need saving. This is the petroleum age.
If Bush could have fixed the economy before Obama took office, he would have.

Trump pulled 11 thousand troops out of Afghanistan and released 5 thousand prisoners by September of 2020. Why didn't he ship any equipment home?

You still don't know anything about keystone XL.
