Definitely. This is not a new thing. Alexander the great was defeated in Afghanistan. The British empire at his peak was defeated in Afghanistan. Invading Afghanistan ended the Soviet Union. I never believed we should have gone into Afghanistan at all. Yes the Taliban is bad, but even the most powerful country on Earth can’t stop that.

Gee you’d think Jane Fondue for brains and assorted antiwar pinkos would be all for getting Uncle Sam out of the Afghan toilet bowl. Crickets

I trust President Trump’s judgement on pulling our troops out of Afghanistan.

He should have done it before the election. It could have become a huge issue. He could have put Biden into a really difficult situation.
