...Are nonsense.
Not only did those nations in the area of Afghanistan know what was going to happen when we left, they did not do anything themselves to prevent the inevitable.
Those GOP's imaginary "distrusting" nations will actually be very happy to take our help, and wealth, if needed one day.

Mr.Bill
(24,311 posts)and agreements did damage to our credibility that will last for decades. If Biden had not done what he did, he would have been accused of throwing Trump's pull-out agreement out and would be blamed for every drop od blood shed there from now on. Biden called his bluff, and it won't take long for this to be hung around Trump's neck for better or worse The press has not sorted this out yet. Some of them never will.

(10,064 posts)Why is nobody asking questions of those military leaders and Pentagon officials that were responsible for the evacuations and intel of what was going on in the country. I know Biden is the commander in chief but he relies on them to provide the information and to carry out their missions. I am wondering how many of them are responsible for this chaos and if they wanted to make it look bad.
