President Biden on Afghanistan

[bgreene]

President addressed our nation this afternoon and made it clear:

1. We’re not going to keep our troops in harms way there in this never ending 20 year struggle.
2. We spent billions to equip the Afghan military and they wasted it and rolled over to the Taliban.
3. He’s keeping his promise to take us out of there as it no longer is in our strategic interests .

Slow or quick withdrawal —- the Taliban was taking over .
I for one agree .

I was going to say that "You, for one, are insignificant and irrelevant. ", but that would just be mean. But I will say that your squirming to try and find something, anything, that you can spin to try and make this disaster of a president look good is pitiful.

China and Russia would love to see us continue spending billions every year trying to maintain Afghanistan .

Our mission there is long over

Yep, I agree, but abruptly pulling out all our troops and giving the Country to the Taliban instead of a slow, orderly pull out was a complete disaster and a national disgrace. China and Russia have nothing to do with it. That's just smoke and misdirection on your part.

Russia and China like seeing our country waste money because they are adversarial with us .

We were wasting billions per year on Afghanistan till Biden pulled the plug .
That’s the point .

Actually it was just about a billion per year, not "billions". But that's besides the point. it's not how much we were spending. It's how we look to out allies. We are a disgrace to the world now.. Terrorists organizations all over the world are cheering the Taliban for their win. Way to go Biden!!! He's done so much harm to our Country in such a short amount of time. Even the late night liberal talk show hosts are making fun of him now.

“President Biden understands history when it comes to Afghanistan. He made the difficult decision to not hand over this longest of American wars to a fifth president,” Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the Senate’s No. 2 Democrat, said this week."

You have to wonder - is he talking about president Harris?

bgreene is merely parroting one of old lying addled and treasonous Joe Biden's claims. Here's what Biden said as he tried to deflect from his Afghan withdrawal debacle:

Our true strategic competitors, China and Russia, would love nothing more than the United States to continue to funnel billions of dollars in resources and attention into stabilizing Afghanistan indefinitely.

What the US was spending in Afghanistan has little effect on the US economy or the federal budget. To see Uncle Chocolate Chocolate Chip act as if those billions matter as he tries to push a $3,000,000,000,000 porkfest through would be laughable if it weren't so sad.

What China and Russia DO LOVE seeing is the once-superpower USA humiliated on the world stage.

As Bernard Lewis once said, "...the danger here is that America risks being seen as harmless as an enemy, and treacherous as a friend... It's a very dangerous lesson to teach the planet."
