    That weaponry was provided to the Afghan army to protect their country. Were the US commanders supposed to know that they were going to flee and leave it behind?

    Plus, I’m amused by Trump’s …errr…solution…?

    “In a Thursday statement, Trump insisted that Biden should have evacuated all American citizens in Afghanistan, and then evacuated military equipment. After that, he said, America should have bombed "the bases into smithereens," and evacuated military members last.

    He would have bombed the bases….while the US troops were still there…??

    Military genius…

    Most people with an IQ higher than a fence post would know when the president and leader of the Afghan army left the country in the middle of the night that their leaderless army wasn't worth spit. And they knew this days before ordering the evacuation.

    He didn't say that and the fact you have to make it up is very telling. He said he would NEVER try and evacuate the embassy and the Americans last. They should have been evacuated first, and the military would be last. Then he would bomb the bases.

    Trumps plan was to remove all troops from Afghanistan by May 2021. Since that 2020 agreement was put in place, the last American casualty was February of 2020. He cut our troops from 5000 to 2500 and the 2500 troops along with our air base had no problems what so ever keeping Americans safe in Kabul for over a year.

    Biden decided to abandon that agreement extending our departure to an undetermined date. He was warned that withdrawing troops irresponsibly would likely lead to a new civil war in Afghanistan and would allow terrorist groups to re-emerge empowered. Once Biden refused to remove troops by the agreed deadline, the Taliban political leader in Doha, Qatar, said the group’s plan was to try and capture strategically important provinces.
    Taliban fighters were called out of their traditional winter break from fighting to front-line duty and their siege began.

    Biden ordered our air support base abandoned weeks before the evacuation and moved to evacuate the embassy and remaining troops without a single call to any of our NATO allies or any warning to American citizens in Kabul.

    Now we had to send over 6000 more troops for Bidens idiocy, the Taliban has surrounded the airport, we have only evacuated 300 Americans since, and told the Americans they must get to the airport on their own while French and British soldiers are going door to door getting their people out.

    Paul 'Pen' Farthing tells Sky News how aircraft are taking off from Kabul airport every hour "regardless of whether they're full or not", adding: "People can't get in, they cannot get into the airport."

    A former Royal Marine commando attempting to help people flee Afghanistan's capital Kabul has warned: "We are going to leave so many people behind".

    My God why isn't that aircraft filled with Americans?

    You must be one of those people that thinks Trump told people to inject lysol or bleach into themselves.

    Biden/Harris - worst presidential duo in history?

    Remember when Bush's "Read my lips, no new taxes" as the worst flub ever?

    Try this one: “there’s going to be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of the United States embassy”

    Trump has zero culpability here. Watching you Leftists cry and whine when it was your senile and stupid hero Biden that screwed this all up is hilarious.

    Democrats own it and they are going to get buried because of it.

    I would say Biden was advised to do that. It wasn't enough time, and what you should go and do is research is why it wasn't enough time.

    Not a fan of Fox, but it might have to come to that (not just Americans but allied civilians).

    At least those civilians have the motivation to leave now (they too have been watching the Taliban slowly invade and apparently not doing so)

    Not just about Biden.

    Every foreign allied national in Afghanistan (who wants to leave) also has a responsibility to have at the minimum traveled to Kabul. Why they have not done so yet is a very legitimate question.

    But I broadly agree. The situation now is a c********** and US should be in charge of those perimeter checkpoints, not the Taliban

    Ten to fifteen thousand US citizens and those who are from other countries, he is a mass murder ( in the same way the Taliban who have done the same )

    Yes and we don't even know how many Americans are there. I've heard numbers up to 40k.

    And if we don't know, how many will simply dissappear?

    no Biden did not, Biden simply asked for more time

    because Trump did not get the people out, had no plan to do so

    Trump should not of released the Taliban leaders until our people were out, worst deal ever

    Well we now know that at 10,000-15,000 Americans are dumber than the usual idiots. anyone with 3 brain cells would have gotten out of Afghanistan weeks, if not months, ago. Didn't the dummies know what was going on in the country?

    The agreement was for withdrawal by the end of May.

    BIDEN DIDNT "ASK FOR MORE TIME" he violated the deal and then TOLD the Taliban he was pushing it back to 9/11.
    So the smug f could make a political pageant over it.

    We are gonna get a show.

    But not what Biden thought.

    What he's done should be criminal.
