imho a little L libertarian flavored statement
Typical twitter, only showing stupid liberal responses.
That is why Trump is head and shoulders above Reagan, Bush-41, Bush-43. Those 3 did not understand the folly of fighting in middle-east.
Afghanistan IS NOT the ME.
A Hotbed of Islam? Yep.
Islam is NOT a “religion” of Peace - Piss B on W...
He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.
—Genesis 16:12
Bold statement. Absolutely correct.
My parents were saying this in the ‘60s!
” I wish we never went in. The biggest mistake we made in the history of our country was going into the Middle East.”
I’m betting a lot of Americans have been thinking that after this week. I’ve been saying it for decades. Forget that ‘nation building’ nonsense, it won’t work in most countries.
Oil. The only reason anyone ever gave two shits about The Middle East. Energy independence removes that care.
trump is wrong!
The slaughter of 60 million or more babies innocent in the room it’s legalization and it’s protection as well as the nurturing of those who believe that it’s OK OK.
That is our country’s biggest mistake.
The BIGGEST mistake was allowing the Derp State Big Tech Global Cabal to STEAL the 2020 election.
We're seeing the DEADLY consequences of it right now.
Bush’s fault
Both of them
That sound you hear is Liz Cheney blowing a gasket.
Just realize we were all wrong and commence to chowing down crow.
My tour guide in Israel got pissed witb me when I spoke up and asked about the Sykes–Picot Agreement. Didn’t want to talk about it as he said....”people wouldn’t know about that.”
Even he was waxing lyrical about the movie “Lawrence of Arabia” and we should watch it.
Go figure. 🙄
For us non-twitter fans, it’s funny I can only view it on twitter. I guess, no thank you.

The US position in the ME up to Bush 1 and the Gulf War was the US would maintain an “over the horizon” position on the ME. Our plan was to go in if we had to to stop the Soviets, or anyone else, grabbing the ME oil. We were not, in any situation, to maintain a presence on the ground in the ME outside of NATO ally Turkey
Bush 1, mainly because Colin Powell threw a fit, stopped Desert Storm too early. We should of taken out Saddam, Declared victory, and turned rebuilding Iraq over to the UN and the Arab League. We should never of been stationing troops on the ground in the ME. That was a major blunder.
The failure of rational US policy in Gulf War 1 lead to everything that has happen since. Because we, for the 1st time, maintained forces in the ME to enforce the No Fly Zone, everything we done since in the ME had to be done.
Trump is mostly right, going into the ME, and staying there, was a mistake. We fought a 30 years war that is now ending badly, in Kabul because of that error.
Exactly correct. So we should also leave Iraq & Syria. We are not even remotely legally in the latter.
The fact that your clinging to a failed dogma based on total ignorance of how the world actually works for 30 years instead of learning a single thing is exactly the same problem you all are complaining about here
Joe Biden, and others would like to blame President Trump for Afghanistan, but I haven’t heard any of the media, or politicians report that it was the Obama Administration that first started having secret meetings with the Taliban in Germany as far back as 2011. Would love to have been a fly on the wall during those meetings.
