In 2024. its 1938 again

Like he brought peace to Afghanistan after freeing 5,000 Taliban (one who is now running the country?)

Who did the much-vaunted withdrawal again? Seemed the USA shat the bed on that one.

Trump set the schedule. I know Fox yammered about "all these people left behind" but in reality it was mostly people who were tangentially related to local nationals who really didn't want to relocate.

Trump realized, correctly as it turned out, there was no way to win in Afghanistan so he pushed the defeat out onto his successor.

Trump set the schedule.

Maybe, but someone else led the project at that date.

Nice history lesson!
Look up the meaning of Sine!!
Tangent and Secant all good, but the west fucked up Sine really good!

I really hate teaching history but damn people need wikipedia.

Egypt has a lot of problems of its own. Trump will bring peace to Ukraine.

He would. By abandoning Ukraine to Russia.

SAT measures raw intelligence, not susceptibility, in this case, to indoctrination.

One con-artist opined, it's easier to dupe the smart than the stupid because the smart know they are infallible.

trump would argue otherwise

 

[JoePepsiCo]

No, you're imagining what Trump would argue otherwise...

 

[jomar]

Thanks for proving my point

 

[JoePepsiCo]

That must be some script that you have circling 'round your brain...

 

[jomar]

Says the guy who who starts goofy threads for alts and echo chamber posters

 

[JoePepsiCo]

Feel free to start your own threads for the super-smart like you...

 

[jomar]

I’m content to let you shine

 

[JoePepsiCo]

Oh. I shine. Rare accolade...

 

[jomar]

Yes, your star burns bright

 

[JoePepsiCo]

Oh. I'm a star. A star is born by acclaim...

 

[jomar]

Yes, I’m sure you won’t let the PB down anytime soon

 

[JoePepsiCo]

I must be fascinating to you for such dedicated trolling...

Nothing else interests you topically-wise?


Okay, you can have the last word.

 

[jomar]

Uh oh, don’t let a bit of back and forth go to your head

Wikepedia needs to be monitored!
There are errors!!

Sine was translated in correctly as having something to do with a nose. Sinus?? In Sanskrit … it means half a bow string. As in half of a chord!! All of the ratios relate to the unit circle as actual lengths of segments.

yes, but when the United States makes an agreement with a sovereign nation as Trump did with Afghanistan, it generally is not automatically abrogated like an executive order. Trump made the agreement, did jack shit to actually prepare for the withdrawal, and Biden did the best he could with what he had.

It's never easy to tuck tail and admit defeat, Biden's choices were limited: extend a very unpopular military action, or just pack it up and leave. He had to have known that the RWCJ would wring their perfumed hands and squeal about "oh the indignity!" but he had to balance that against the "will of the people" who were quite frankly fed up with Dubya's splendid little adventure that mission-creeped into a semi-permanent military shitshow.

The bottom line is the United States is out of Afghanistan now, and the general public doesn't really care now HOW it was done, just THAT it was done.
