"Tragic mess in Afghanistan, a completely open and broken Border, Crime at record levels, oil prices through the roof, inflation rising, and taken advantage of by the entire world–DO YOU MISS ME YET?" Trump said in a statement that was tweeted by his director of communications, Margo Martin."

Even Clowntoker, in his usual state of chronic socialism, has to admit the senile Joe has wrecked the country in 6 months.

Former President Donald Trump on Sunday expressed support for pulling U.S. military forces out of Afghanistan, calling a withdrawal "wonderful and positive"

Mr. Trump said in a statement he believes the U.S. should leave Afghanistan earlier than when Mr. Biden has called for, and took credit for laying the groundwork for American troops to leave the country before September 11, the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks that launched the U.S. into its longest war.

"I made early withdraw possible by already pulling much of our billions of dollars and equipment out and, more importantly, reducing our military presence to less than 2,000 troops from the 16,000 level that was there," he said.

Withdrawal or retreat, these are dangerous things.

The mistake in Afghanistan, as in Iraq and Korea and Vietnam etc, was going in small and hoping it would work.

Only Desert Storm showed the lesson -- go in big, win quickly, leave quickly. promise to return with more devastation if need be.

Today, the typical general has MA and MS and MBA degrees, often two or more grad degrees, but going to grad school and absorbing liberal rhetoric as Milley obviously has, that is different from leadership of men.

which makes it laughable that NOW all of a sudden after bush 2nd had 25k troops in afghanistan "hunting evil doers", in a half baked attempt to capture said evil. an excuse to enrich HAL (6,50 to 47 -65) . delivered 140k troops to iraq on a not quite true redirect of assets, as is typical in the alternative universe of the sparkle pony afflicted and spies.

MAGA: Cheered on Trump for the ordering the release of thousands Taliban fighters who were imprisoned and agreed to have all US troops removed by May 2021.

Also MAGA: Thinks Biden removing troops from Afghanistan as per Trump's agreement is a bad move, and they are now blaming Biden for the Taliban released as per Trump's orders for trying to seize power.

The planners at State and the Pentagon were all fools for not reading the essential book on this, Bernard Fall's Street Without Joy.

If this had been done long ago, many of the American mistakes in Vietnam could have been avoided.

Instead, in April 1975 refugees flooded down the Rue sans Joie.

And today, there is a real insurrection in Kabul, not the fake one the Left has been tweeting about.

On the bright side, Joe has a nice beach house and Jen has no doubt circled back to wearing her thong and tanning the freckles.

Here's your friendly reminder that Trump wanted to invite the Taliban over to Camp David for a terrorist sleepover on 9/11 and when Bolton said that was the dumbest ass bullshit he had ever heard in his life.........

Then Trump fired Bolton right afterward.
