It's what we've done since 1960. Create a hell of a mess in a country through wars of choice, withdraw and leave those who supported us twisting in the wind. Just ask the Kurds or the South Vietnamese to name a few.

There is no 300, 000 soldiers here in Afghanistan. These corrupted politicians report 50 soldiers and take the resources for 50 soldiers while there are 10 soldiers in an area. There is no 300, 000 soldiers. We may have like 150, 000 soldiers.
From which many haven't received their salaries for months. How will they fight Talibans? However, thank you for your help and support.

Why is his microphone set so low for these live speeches? Multiple times he is barely audible even with Max volume.

The same guy who voted for the Iraq Resolution, Patriot Act and the deployment of soldiers back in 2002, twenty years later says he'll fix the problem.

And this is the person the people of the United States elected to be president.
A person who struggles to complete a sentence.

[bishwasgyawali]

Americans hated a man so much that they literally chose a random guy to replace Trump 🤣

Reading the comments on this video from one month ago... It's amazing how many regular joes so accurately predicted what would happen while our president with infinite advisors was completely blindsided. This is not a good look on the world stage.

[bobgertrude]

Is that the leader of the Dementiacrats?

[jiexinbinb]

[ydvlljj]

I wish they would just let us read the teleprompter instead.

[sudipadhikari]

It is the Biggest blunder in this year.

[iamfuncruz]

It's time for Old Joe to retire to one of Governor Cuomo's nursing homes.

[jnsaudio]

This seems so staged.. how people stop shouting as soon as he points a finger. Thats not how it used to go

[suzie]

Who's back here now, after the attack on the airport?

[bobmiller]

Libs are trying make us believe he is in charge. What a joke

[Freyja]

We need closed captioning or some kind of translation, can't understand half of what this man is saying, mumbling Joe.
