One Year After The Withdrawal From Afghanistan, What We Will Face When We Have To Go Back
As we just past the one year anniversary of one of the top military, political and budget blunders of history. We left $84 Billion of arms that are now showing up around the world. It was blamed on the prior president, but history shows that all the plans by the previous president were ignored, yet they blamed him. We dropped everything and left. We left our respect, our weapons, our faith in the military and a lot of other things there that day.

All because the plans Trump left behind were trashed because they were "Trump Plans" and Barndon's "We Know Betters" started over. The absolute idiocy of abandoning Bagram Air Base and exiting through the civilian airport should have let us know who we're dealing with.
ReplyDeleteStolen elections do have consequences as they say, boy howdy!!
ReplyDeleteIt seems "John" has refused to learn from the mistakes of the past. Policing the world is what got us into this mess. Of that list of equipment, the vast majority of it was sent there by Bush the Lesser and Obama the Pretender before 2012. Bring all our troops home, end all aid of any kind to every other nation, mind our own damn business. Problems solved.
ReplyDeleteAs for faith in our military, until we start hanging lying generals only a fool would have faith in the military.
My point was that Trump had a plan to get every screw out of there along with every person that was ours or helped us. that plan was ignored (because Biden is everything not Trump) and the just left our valuable technology (and tax money). I didn't think winning any war in Afghanistan was or is possible, nor did I say that. All I sign up for is for us to play an away game instead of a home game when at war. There is no nation building in that. I'm afraid you misunderstood the article and had your own agenda.
DeleteEver wonder why we had 80 billion in equipment there in the first place?
ReplyDeleteHmmm, if I recall correctly I've said this here before but just in case I'm wrong I'll say it again. Fuck Gropey Joe Biden. With a rusty chainsaw. Sideways.
ReplyDeletePrior to Biden's Debacle I considered Bush's invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq to be the greatest strategic blunder in American history. I think Brandon tied it.
ReplyDeleteI had the misfortune to attend a democrat majority event in Nashville this week. One guy announced he had heard from the highest levels that the equipment we left behind in Afghanistan was mostly just old worn out junk that the military would have had to scrap anyway. That's gonna be the party line now for these traitorous dick suckers. We didn't leave anything worth taking.
ReplyDeleteShould shot the generals on the ground for not ordering the weapons destroyed and fuck Biden.
ReplyDeleteThe only way to go back is to carpet bomb it from border to border then re-populate it with the illegals that are crossing our borders.
ReplyDeleteNuke it all til it glows in the dark, wait a hundred years, then send in the SeaBees to paint lines on the parking lot. I am severely out of Fs to give about people who want me and mine dead or enslaved.
ReplyDeleteHell, it worked for the Mongols.

Why should we go back to Afganistan? There is nothing for us there. As far as the Chinese are concerned, no one has ever been able to do well in Afghanistan, from the Persians to Alexander the Great, to the British, to the Russians to us. If the Chinese want to try their luck, good on them. They need the experience.
