Biden Arms The Taliban

[jomar]

RG literally gives accumulative stas.for 20 years as a count of equipment on the ground right now

And the goes off on a tirade about the "uneducated"

The fucking irony is outstanding

Shhh…he is golden.

I could hold up a mirror to reflect that post back to you.

I forgot to add, you're lazy too.

Joe didn’t send all that shit to Afghanistan.

No, he left what is left to the Taliban, which is substantial. They are much better armed, with our weapons and vehicles no less, than they were in arrived there 20 years ago, and when we have to return in a few years.

You want us to believe that Trump would’ve withdrawn all that materiel by May 1st?

Apparently he believes that no single President removed a single piece of equipment in 20 years

Is it a stretch for him to believe anything else?

O.k, now you’ve gone too far. You can call me “completely out to lunch and a wall climbing nut,” but lazy?!

Actually, it’s true I have become lazy but that’s not so true regarding my Lit posting. I’m mostly here to bust the balls of trumptards and other extremists. There was a time when I engaged more vigorously but after tracking down factual information and crafting an intelligent reply, some bozo, would try to counter with something he read in the National Inquirer. My posts are always honest and based on my education and an unbiased review of current events information received from various opposing sources. One of the reasons I come here is to read what the right wing extremists are selling today.
My problem with you is not with the disagreement but I think that you post things that you don’t even believe. I consider that propaganda. You might say that people on the left do the same thing and you would be right, but I’m not one of those people. I don’t start many threads and I don’t post a lot of articles but I am always honest.

I suggest that you try to consider an opposing point of view, then use your critical thinking skills to determine truth instead of reading right wing blogs that reinforce your beliefs.

That is not true and you know it. For at least 5 generations most American came here legally through our immigration process.

There has been no fundamental change in the past generation, and certainly not in the past seven months. More to the point, aside from the Native Americans, probably ALL Americans have at least one ancestor who either came over without whatever official permission applied at the time, or was brought over in chains. The crisis on the Mexican border is not new, nor is it as simple as "build a wall to stop them", since most illegals don't just walk across the border.

It is an invasion. How do you think MS13 got here?

Mostly with refugees from the war in El Salvador. (While it has since become a criminal enterprise, MS13 actually got its start providing protection for other Salvadoran immigrants, who were not welcomed even by the other Latin American immigrants in LA.)

A terror threat won't be enough any more. The only way we go back into Afghanistan is if they make conventional war on their neighbors.

Well, the next Republican president could easily get us back into there in search of terrorists who actually came out of Saudi Arabia.

from an outsiders perspective I don't know how you can keep track.
The USA has been armingg the Taliban since the soviets invaded Afghanistan back in 1979. There's nothing new here at all, just a continuation of same old, same old.

We prefer to forget all that . . . for some reason it was hardly mentioned in 2001 . . .

Ding ding ding

And Trumpies have been in the party who leads that charge every single time

Blaming Biden for giving the Afghans guns, when the budget, passed at the start of this thread, was mostly introduced by Republicans

The point is is that billions of dollars worth of equipment was left behind without a plan to deal with it. You can whine that Biden was left a mess but he professed to be a foreign policy expert and part of foreign policy is making sure you don’t enhance your adversary’s military capabilities.

Biden is a fool and this arbitrary withdrawal which lacked any semblance of critical planning will resonate for generations to come. We have open borders here and now a breeding ground for terrorist in Afghanistan. Over the hill intel is a buzz word for *we have no capabilities anymore*

The Taliban is not the threat other than giving terrorist like Al-Qaeda and ISSIS terrorist groups a place to plan, train and execute. The Russians are very concerned about terrorist behavior since they have a large Muslim population.

The only successful way to draw down and withdraw was to hopefully broker a coalition government, not that that is wishful thinking what happens now only God knows what the future holds.

Had Clinton taken care of UBL after the first twin tower bombing we would have never gotten involved in Afghanistan, UBL would have been killed.

This is seriously how your brain makes connections? (). o

Immigration =/= invasion.

Please write that 100 times before you again comment on anything immigration- or border-related.

However, when you cross the border with no intention of following current immigration law,
then you cannot really redefine it as legal immigration and it is no small logical jump
to refer to immigration that is not legal as an invasion [of criminals].

Just as Asian carp are an invasive species,
these are invading immigrants.

One really has to stop and marvel at the 20/20 hindsight of coulda, shoulda, woulda...

Correct...from what I gather, it's easier to just blame the current guy if he's your political opposition.

That always holds up under scrutiny

And it helps if you make the claim that every piece of military equipment sent to Afghanistan since 2001 is now in the hands of our adversaries.

They're ALL my political opposition; all agents of the Deep State.

Clearly, you cannot handle any reality outside of what you imagine to be true.

I think I shall call you ~sparkles~ to behave in accordance to your manner...

 

[JohnnySavage]

I wonder if they'll put those little airplanes on the resale market. I'd be interested at a healthy discount over the new price, and if they deliver.

I'm not a dumbass American that travels to a war zone.

So, what you’re saying is if there is a major terrorist attack on our country now Biden would sit on his ass and do nothing? wait! that sounds about right.

If you actually demonstrated what you keep saying is true, I might believe it's possible, but I've only seen our visceral reactions to the left.

In the end, I personally don't care what you consider yourself to be and it has relevance to the comments I made. (that you were responding to) I was making a generalized sarcastic comment based on Trumpian posts to this forum for humor and specifically a jab at the OP.
