Pulling out wasn't the issue. It was pulling the military without removing civilians and equipment first.

What happened to “We don’t negotiate deals with terrorists??”

It’s so refreshing to see a news channel on here that doesn’t have their comments section disabled.

its insane i would never have thought the taliban would become a "legitimised" government 20 years ago

It's been a while since "we do not negotiate with terrorists"

"The goal is to use Afghanistan to wash money out of the tax bases of the US and Europe through Afghanistan and back into the hands of a transnational security elite. The goal is an endless war, not a successful war". - Julian Assange



Somebody please thumb me.

So much for “we do not negotiate with terrorists”

[danabraham]

THE US did not allow the taliban to take over Afghanistan. The taliban took over because the Afghanistan’s military didn’t want to fight them.

Sounds like a pretty terrible deal when we leave out the Afghan government

The most powerful nation cannot handle a nation with “less sophistication” so many lies it’s overwhelming to watch anymore.

Afghan president in February: “the Jury is out…”
In August: “literally, and so am I!”

Still does not explain losing 34 provincial capitals in 11 days.

We can blame America all we want, but at the end of the the Afghan Army SHOULD fight for their country.

[medzah]

They should take the American people out first before pulling out the troops it's crazy

[Gofori]

So this broadcast intends to blame Trump, not incompetent Biden on all blunders, no plans… lol.

[youngyeller]

its all about joes legacy. a failure before, a failure now.

Pulling out wasn’t the issue! It was the way the US pulled out! It is not the US is job alone to secure stability in Afghanistan. If you have a problem with the way the US he’s doing it – why not question why the UK pulled out?? Keep pointing fingers for ratings!!
