nunyabizni: libertarianblue:punklibertarian: trucro: Trump blew it by negotiating with the Taliban. Trump made the Taliban guarantee to stop their attacks and got them to stop attacking our European allies in Afghanistan. He also told them when we would be gone so that our allies had time to get civilians out.Joe did none of this.Choosing to ignore all of his generals, he refused to keep a residual force behind whivg left Kabul open to attacks from all sides. He then lied about this on national tv.He left thousands of innocent civilians behind by pulling out far too soon which broke the treaty that Trump had signed with the Taliban. After this, they had nothing to stop them from attacking people.He then blocked planes carrying civilians from entering the US. Even without all of that, why on earth would Trump have “set up a ticking time bomb” set to go off in 2021? Trump intended to be serving a second term right now. Was his diabolical plan to have his own trap explode in his face?No, this was a situation that got worse the more the current admin prioritized symbolic or optical victories instead of actually exercising any kind of strategic thinking. Amazing conclusion from the guy.I wonder if the research was anything more involved than ‘biden has a D next to his name so this couldn’t possibly be his fault’ combined with ‘orange man bad’ -- source link
