What US entered Afghanistan full of righteousness, anyone who criticized or even asked what the plan was got told they were siding with terrorists and also sacking our own quarterback. Men who had never seen a women's right they didn't hate were now going to be liberators of Afghan women. And like Vietnam it dragged on and on with weak corrupt government and no resolution. Then Trump, as has been said, negotiated deal with Taliban that did not include or even discuss with Afghan government. Remember how he wanted to invite Taliban to Camp David on anniversary of 9/11? Consistent with his admiration for really terrible people. Biden administration caught short in how fast they would advance. Like Ford.
Republicans DELETE webpage praising Donald Trump's 'historic peace deal with the Taliban' and his support for withdrawing troops as the Taliban takes control The Republican National Committee has removed the page from their website It was titled 'President Trump Is Bringing Peace In The Middle East' and described how he 'continued to take the lead in peace talks' Also accused Biden of taking 'the lead and pushing for endless wars' Users were met with a 404 error page on the site on Sunday night Trump made a conditional peace deal in 2020 with the Taliban saying they would reduce Afghan troops if they didn't support terrorists Trump also called on Biden to 'resign in disgrace' on Sunday night over the disastrous Afghan troop withdrawal https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...onald-Trumps-historic-Taliban-peace-deal.html
Trump also against all advice agreed to release of 5000 top Taliban prisoners in exchange for a three month cease fire to help his election campaign.
I can't imagine why they'd do that. I mean, there's no reason why they'd want to distance trump (or the GOP in general) from whats happening. It's all about blaming Biden and the Democrats!
(certain) Republicans are weird. Like right now, Cuomo, Weiner, Spitzer (and more) fucked up and their careers are all but over. But someone can be in charge of a state that has some worst covid death totals, horrible responses to it and totally fuck things up and they're like "yup, he's my guy!"
Meet the next leader of Afghanistan: Abdul Ghani Baradar is veteran resistance fighter who saw off the Russians and was FREED from a Pakistani jail by Donald Trump as part of deal with Taliban Abdul Ghani Baradar fought in the mujahideen against the Soviets in the 1980s He was co-founded Taliban in the early 1990s with Mullah Mohammed Omar Baradar was captured in 2010 in Pakistan at the request of the US government But released 2018 as Trump administration believed he could help broker peace On Sunday, he flew from Doha to Kabul as militants stormed presidential palace https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...ump-Abdul-Ghani-Baradar-head-Afghanistan.html
It's been funny to me over the past ~4 years when liberals say "I never thought I'd say this, but Trump makes me miss Bush!" It's cool that he seems like a gentle old man today, but thinking Bush was in some way better than Trump is definitely overly romanticizing the past.
