Trump had been negotiating with the Taliban - not the Afghan Govt as he was preparing to withdraw our troops .

Mostly all of Afghans 300,000 troops just quit and gave it up to the Taliban .
We can’t control that other than continuing our own war there - indefinitely.

Now the Taliban is taking over the country and will rule with harsh social conditions especially tough for women.

Your solution ?
We keep our men fighting and dying there forever — when Afghans government will not fight the Taliban ? Tough situation . We don’t see other countries in that fight against the Taliban.

Joe Biden in April:

"We will not conduct a hasty rush to the exit. We'll do it responsibly, deliberately, and safely."

Even CNN is asking where the President is...

Of course CNN asking - because CNN is a real NEWS source .

CNN is currently reporting Bidens previous assurances about Afghanistan Army ability and now this failure.

Biden to speak at 3:45 today.
Seems a totally botched situation , but unless we maintained our troops there forever , is there a solution ?
Would a so called slow withdrawal have mattered ? Bad situation for the Afghan people

What a press conference.

The issue isn't why we're leaving Afghanistan, but how badly we're leaving Afghanistan. He can't blame others for his botched withdrawal.

Takes no questions and goes back on vacation.

But hey, it's great to be respected on the world stage again.

So called slow withdrawal or fast the same outcome — Afghan army quit and handed over their country to Taliban .

Fact that they just quit shows why Biden is correct.
Spend billions more for another 5 years of the same - no .
You want your sons or daughters in harms way there - I don’t.
Nothing in that was a fight to protect America anymore .

The Taliban is taking more questions from the press than Biden is.
