    Kind of like Bidens "Not in my back Yard - Dump it in the Ocean" environmental policy.

    But he looked halfway decent on TV testerday.
    Although he was 45 minutes late. Guess they had to grill him to make sure he got his lines right.
    He looked less weak on the world stage yesterday and that's a good thing.

    why were these things not removed when we went from 14000 troops to less than 3000 over the course of two years?

    How is you think that the 2500 troops there this year could have removed all of that equipment?

    I'm pretty sure a "Spike the gun" policy for every day could have accomplished much.
    As it is, the taliban has M249s and mortars and artilery.

    and again, when would have been the best time to do this, when you had 7000 troops leaving in on year or when you had less than 3000 left in country?

    This was predictable as we saw the Iraqi army do the same thing.

    But as I said, we as a nation suck at learning from our mistakes

    Everytime he turns around he does that - doing what the voices in his ear (the blue political bandwagon) are telling him to do.

    Uh, afaik you can’t shoulder fire the helicopter version of the M249 round. Something like blowing up the rifle and your shoulder at the same time.

    BTW, they will probably start shooting at China. Oh, darn!

    Why would they shoot at China? China is more than happy to help them build their country and give them lots of cash for their natural resources and will not give a flying **** what they do to their own countrymen.

    A lot of prep on a prepared speech, good drugs, and a fresh diaper change. Then he is good to go for a few minutes. Followed by a few days of recovery time on "vacation."

    Do you believe the meme storm makes more or less credible of a member of this forum?

    After we avenged 911, it became all about resources. (Until the US went “Woke”). Everyone was going to help the “primitives” dig out minerals and sell it for them.
    China was mining and complaining about getting shot at. China hates everyone but Han and the Taliban hates everyone but Muslims. A marriage made in hell.
    BUT. You can bet the CIA will be working overtime over there stirring up China’s anti Muslim programs. China’s police state is even more untenable that Shirra law.

    BUT...China does not care what people do in other countries, they will not care if the Taliban massacres their own people as long as it does not interrupt the flow of money

    Armed and trained by the US military for close to 20 years and they rolled over in less than 2 weeks? ... I get my info from following Bush's cluster**** of a plan for all these years ...

    where do you get your info from? ... I assume you give high marks to Trump in all this ...

    I give every admin involved extremely low marks with the lowest mark going to Biden ... slight edit: Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld get the lowest marks for a foolish plan to start ... Biden for ****ing up the withdrawal, either he doesn't listen or his advisory staff is completely incompetent ...

    having said all that, I suspect Biden will not be Pres this time next year, so welcome to the Kamala shitshow ...
