2024 Democratic National Convention Thread

👍

I would only add:

If the U.S. had stayed in Afghanistan, besides having to fight an enraged Taliban that had been reinforced by 5,000 hardened Taliban fighters that Trump forced the Afghan government to let out of prison, the U.S. military / defense / diplomatic apparatus would also currently be dividing its attention between active conflicts in Afghanistan (boots on the ground), Ukraine, Israel-Gaza, and the emerging threats in East Asia, the Indo / South Pacific, and Africa. (The problems in South / Central America, along with the associated immigration and border security issues would also have remained.)

Afghanistan being off the board has made things exponentially more manageable for the U.S. military / defense / diplomatic apparatus.

Full stop.

Not to mention, if we couldn't stamp out the Taliban in twenty years, just how long were we supposed to stay?
 
No, I’m saying trump negotiated with the Taliban behind the Afghan government’s back and made a deal with them to leave by a certain date or they’d ramp up war, hence at his feet. If Biden stayed and more US solders were deployed there because of the Taliban waging war you’d be shitting your pants about that.
Like I have written before, imho Trump was wrong with his plan. Things were well under control and I believe we had minimal casualties over a two year period. Bagram air base was a strategically located air base located near Pakistan, Iran and Iraq. We also had allies working with us to provide air support for the Afghan army. We had a new generation of Afghan youngsters who were being educated and incubating in democratic principles. We provided a safety net for girls and women alike to educate themselves and become a productive part of their potential new found democratic government. I understand my position is unpopular but we invested so much treasure and there was much more to gain working with a co-op government. Now China is working overtime to fill the void we left and we still give millions of dollars to the Afghan *whatever it is* which is backed doored to the Taliban.

Afghanistan is rich in minerals and green energy mineral resources and rare earth elements.

She did say “he” stepped down, but when asked about her role, she says “she did what she had to do”…

I’ll give you this one, on the technicality, but you know damn well he was pushed out. Soft coup. Change my mind.
She did not say that she forced him out. She did say that he stepped down.

Language is difficult...I get it.

She publicly showed that she wanted him out. That is what she meant.

Tough shit. If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

The real problem here is Deplorables fear strong women. They want to go back to the old days of patriarchy. Well, tough shit about that, too. America is ready for this change even if the incels whine about a soft coup.
