Taliban taking over Afghanistan

[Tgo01]

Why are you acting like you care right now?

I always care when people act like hypocrites.

Democrats are always anti-war when a Republican is president, until the Republican wants to bring troops home, then they accuse the president of abandoning our allies.
Democrats are always pro-war or at least don't give a shit about war when a Democrat is president, and they suddenly don't care about abandoning our allies.

It happens every time. I'm just here to point out the hypocrisy.

You are doing exactly what you are accusing the Democrats of doing though. I never saw you giving a fuck when Trump was President. Are you being self loathing?

I said I thought we should have withdrawn from Afghanistan a long time ago, my position on that hasn't changed. Only the position of Democrats have changed.

[Tgo01]

Let's be honest, do you really think if Trump had withdrawn from Afghanistan and all of this shit was going down that Democrats would be sitting here silent? Or would they be accusing Trump of murdering brown people and doing nothing to stop it?

We all know it's the latter and that's my point.

Of course. And you wouldn't have said a damn thing about it. Now that Democrats are in charge, you are. You are doing the exact same thing. Just come out and say you don't care regardless.

I'm not giving Biden shit though, I'm giving Democrats shit for giving Biden a pass when they never in a million years would have given a Republican a pass.

I actually give Biden credit here for saying this:

"One more year, or five more years, of U.S. military presence would not have made a difference if the Afghan military cannot or will not hold its own country. And an endless American presence in the middle of another country’s civil conflict was not acceptable to me," Biden added

My point is if this had happened under Trump and he would have said this exact same thing the headlines would be blaring right now that Trump doesn't care about brown people. Let's be real here.

I'll come out and straight up say I don't give a fuck about those people at this point. They had 20 years and billions of dollars to pull their asses together. This is all on them.

We should never have withdrawn. It's something I'll never forgive Biden for.

I was against it when Trump talked about it, and I'm against it now. It was politics over humanity .

We should stay there forever?

I agree. Like I said I think Biden was actually spot on here. Not only the US but other countries have been spending billions of dollars and giving their military countless weaponry and training. What more could we have done other than stay there forever?

I think the US should still give the Afghan government assistance when they can, but a permanent military presence isn't the answer.
