Pure speculation.
in what reality were the Taliban not going to move on the Afghan government since American air support was gone.
They were on vacation until May.
They were on vacation until May.
Taliban has been fighting the Afghan government since 2001.
they never stopped.
They slow way down in the winter and pick it up again in the Spring. The probably started planning the May offensive when the Agreement was signed.

The Taliban 2021 offensive started the day American withdrawal started.
its almost like they planned on it.
I agree ā¦ to begin the day the last American had departed. Bidenās delay was the only hitch.

It started 2nd of May

I will not repeat the mistakes weāve made in the past.ā
He sent 5,000 this weekend.
little late should have sent them 2 months ago.
Actually, everyone should have been gone three and a half months ago.
which would have changed nothing that is currently happening.
Except the we would not have still been there when it happened.
The agreement has nothing to do with civilians, there would still be American citizen in the country working in Kabul, the embassy was never going to close.
I agree. And a smart President would have gotten them out first.
Been decades since weāve had a smart president.

Yep ā¦ The day after the Americans were supposed to be gone. Thatās what I said.

so America leaving on May 1 wouldnāt have changed anything.
thank for agreeing.
Yes, I agree, it wouldnāt change the outcome, but we would not have been caught up in it had Biden not moved the date of departure. Thatās entirely on Biden.
I imagine there will be Congressional hearings on this - the dems will want them to be far reaching in timeline, while the repubs will want to focus on the last 2 months.
Democrats will somehow make them about January 6 and systemic racism, maybe toss in some coronavirus and a little climate change.
Yeah ā¦ He planned to lose the election so Biden would get the blame.
Trumpās program was conditions basedā¦
Bidenās was a typical Biden Cluster ā ā ā ā ā Biden and the generals who failed in advising him might all want to consider resigning over this mess.

No US troop has died there in eighteen months. Our guys were doing intel and air support, not ground operations. We only had like 2500 people there, not like we were on the front lines, that has been the afghans job for a long time.
Biden makes the wrong choice every single time. This is the guy who opposed the first Iraq war and supported the second, then opposed the surge.
This happened because we pulled air support and intel, period.
January 21, 2021. Government in control.
August 16, 2031. Taliban in control.
Nothing else matters. Jbiden is in the chair.
Been decades since weāve had a smart president.
When was the last one you think.
Trump is unpredictable. That is the point.
The Taliban know Biden is clueless and know he is powerless to do anything to protect Americans at this point.
They would have been scared to pull this stuff with Trump was in office. They would have behaved till we were gone anyway.
They donāt respect Biden and it shows in what is going on.
Should have never relinquished Bagram. That would have been the best place to transport US citizens and allies out of country. Instead all of the military hardware, arms, munitions there now are in Taliban hands.
Disaster
I wonder if Hunter has Taliban connections too.

Maybe he and his family are making more money out of the decisions heās āmakingā than ones that will keep Americans safer.
