That’s in equipment. The piles of cash will most likely remain “unaccounted” for. Wonder how many corrupt folks at the top dipped into it before heading out.

The Afghan military didn't lose the fight to the Taliban. They didn't even fight at all. They just ran. Sad shit is, we've seen it once in Iraq and we still believe these backwards corrupt people can evolve.

You can put a sweater on a dog, it doesn't make it a person.

It's a good thing there weren't any Nukes! Maybe he left them an IOU.

Imagine had we told our allies fighting side by side with us there... Well guys it was cool fighting with you against the Taliban for 20 years. But you know all the weapons and cash that we gave you to fight against the Taliban....? Well... we're kind of taking it back with us.

Good luck!!
Lol

I mean sure hindsight 20/20 we might as well have taken it all back considering so many quickly surrendered and handed it to the Taliban... but.... if we had done that we couldn't have even pretended to say that we wanted our allies there to succeed.

You make it sound like it’s either black or white. Military is supposed to have Plan A, B, C, D and on into infinity and IF we decided our partners aren’t up to the task, then we take our $83 BILLION in footballs and LETHAL WEAPONS home with us. Unfortunately our progressive commander and military brass think more along the same lines as you and well, here we are…

For all we know our military had multiple plans and saw this as the best option given the circumstances. I'm open to looking at other possibilities. Let's say the Afghans didn't surrender and had actually fought the Taliban, their president stayed, etc.......... Financially, it would make no difference to us. That money would still be gone.

Also from what I've read, some part of that $83 billion figure was "training", so it literally cannot ​be taken back.... As far as the guns.. eh.. We're more or less good on guns. Besides how many currently are already here for the military or consumer, we manufacture roughly 22,000 guns in America EVERY DAY. That's 2 guns for every newborn baby in America. We'll be ok.

Anyways yes, here we are. Leaving that $300 million dollar per day money pit... Good.

How is leaving thousands of US citizens as hostages our best option? No way, and all the shit Joe left for China and got paid for it. His incompetence cost the lives of 13 US Marines. He needs to go. Period.

Leaving thousands ? Guess we've made a lot of progress there because I heard it was more like 100-200 now.... (Including many dual citizens who may or may not be ready to leave their families there.) I ​know y'all think he's a commie and Dems want to control everything but I don't think we can just force people to come back to America. Maybe we can convince them to come back by flinging open them borders for their families. Import some more democrat voters am I right??
;)

2,448 US servicemen and 3,846 US contractors have been killed since we got there but all of a sudden 13 marines helping everyone get out are a problem? IEDs happen in Afghanistan all the time so spare me your crocodile tears and buckle up buttercup he's still got at least 3 more years.

Hey stupid Biden is the reason those 13 marines got killed. He knew 2 mos before this went to shit and said nothing. We would not have had such a clusterf**k if he would have warned people the Taliban were on the move to get out. He didnt. He is doing everything he can to f**k america. He should be hung for treason. So shove that buttercup up your stupid ignorant ass!!

He created the situation. Are you mental?

Our exit of a 20 year war with multiple enemy factions where some of our own allies were being bribed by an enemy wasn't perfect obviously... you'd have to be mental to think it would be. But what's done is done.

Moving on..... Infrastructure!

I’m good with leaving there, but I won’t make any excuses for the shit show that our inept leadership created.

True. You won't make excuses. You'll try to amplify the sh*t show by claiming we "gifted" a bunch of stuff to the Taliban in a meme with annoying ass music.

The leftist media certainly aren’t about to show the sheep how their feckless leaders made this rancid sausage, so of course those that are aware will amplify it and make sure that those who still care about this country become aware too. This same media amplified every misstep by Trump, but they muffle much of their Dear Leader’s missteps. Why do you suppose that is?

Naw.. I see what he's doing. And I generally think it's a good thing. If it was easy to do any of the previous 3 presidents would've done it. He took the bullet. Good for him. Some other dingbat here was like "yabut the Russians did it, when the Russians left Afghanistan it was more smooth and they brought back their military stuff!!"..... True... And according to Bloomberg, it took 'em 3 F*CKING YEARS to do it ........
NO THANKS!

I also see what the right is doing....
hurr hurr Joe Biden is importing more democrat votursss.. bruh 2 f*cking days ago y'all were complaining about us not getting our allies out (one repub here even referencing us not getting out the gay Afghanis). Please. Y'all heads would explode if we started importing LGBTQ people.

As far as the media... Trump sh*t on the media, the media sh*t on him back.... And so on... He could barely open his mouth without blathering on about "the failing NY Times" and they could barely do a story that wasn't about the failing US president. And sure... they're the media, they should at least try to not be so partisan. But maybe so should have trump? No surprise to me that they fawn and clap over Biden doing something as mundane as driving a truck. Meanwhile the right was claiming the truck had 2 steering wheels. Lol

8 of those years under Obama/Biden, and Biden supported Afghanistan war as a US Senator, genius.

what was Trump's plan to get the equipment back? Was it in his deal with the Taliban?

Trumps deal with the Taliban, dont be an idiot. Trump didn’t even stick to the deal he made with them. Biden cancels and reverses every single Trump policy on day one oh but were supposed to believe he was following Trumps deal. Wake up man!

Where in Trump's plan does it lay out taking back all the equipment we gave to the Afghani Army?

Generally armies dont plan that, its a given. Unless you are part of the incompetent biden club

A given where? When? The equipment was the Afghan army’s. They decided to basically roll over to the Taliban.

No, you’re thinking of the people who control that demented old goat you call a president.

Because it was under the Biden "administration" that Afghanistan collapsed to the Taliban.

Your stupidity is showing. How anyone could still be backing this hack shill of a man who was cheated into office is beyond me. He should be hung for treason.
