US President Joe Biden left Afghans ‘like lambs to the slaughter’
Sky News Australia ^ | August 17, 2021

Commentator Liz Storer says US President Joe Biden left Afghans like “lambs to the slaughter” after withdrawing his troops so suddenly.

“To know that every single piece of intelligence this man had, Biden’s own generals were saying ‘do not do this, this makes absolutely no sense’,” Ms Storer told Sky News.

“This wasn’t just withdrawing troops that have been there for over 20 years now because over that time they’ve become a pillar of the way Afghans do everything.

“You cannot stay there for that long and become such a part of their protection and resistance and withdraw at the drop of a hat like this."

"There is blood on that man's hands."

They’re right. But hey, Biden says the buck stops with him but it’s Trump’s fault and he’d do everything the same over again. Now where’s his ice cream.

It seems to me Pelosi and Schumer own this mess too.

Correct me if wrong.

The Trump withdrawal gave no concessions to the Taliban, did not come with the releasing of thousands of Taliban prisoners, and allowed for a small contingency of our troops there to support the people and government.

Biden, did just the opposite.

Except for the Afghanistan Army that America trained and armed. /s

Biden should have handled it better but in the end it is up to the people in Afghanistan to defend themselves.

Will he get the nobel peace prize for the mostly peaceful troop withdrawal?

If there’s any sanity left in the USA, this man will be kicked out of office!

That's the policy throughout

Whatever is in place from the previous administration(s)

Reverse it.

I don’t know those details, but Biden has mindlessly reversed everything he can that Trump has done simply because he doesn’t like him.

Now we have the spectacle of a Taliban leader being asked about freedom of speech, and him responding that the question should be asked to Facebook (which, along with other social media companies, kicks off people at the behest of the White House). Gee, I wonder what they will say about imprisoning political opponents. Given that our culture accepts “transitioning” children, what can Americans really say about genital mutilation? Hell, we put it on television and celebrate it. Free elections? LOL. Our moral authority is all but gone, but Pete and Chasten Buttigieg are going to be “parents.” Until massive change happens, we don’t need to be invading or lecturing anyone about muh freedoms or democracy.

Then we have all of the private contractors that had no warning, still there. If they are not dead yet, will be soon.

What an incompetent Fu**! Is Obama the back seat driver?? He disappeared.

Leaving lambs to the slaughter doesn’t make sense. You lead lambs to the slaughter, but I get it.

Other words I can think of are forsake, abandon, desert, and maroon.

Trump had a plan that had real stability in place for 18 months with not one US troop death.

Anyone could see this coming. I am sure John Kerry was part of the deal.

Communist Puppet. Stolen election. Illegitimate.

It’s time to remove the occupier and his coup plotters by force. Restore the true POTUS, Donald J Trump.

Send in the tanks, NOW!

Imagine what would be happening in the world, all over the world, if Trump had done what Biden did to Afghanistan.

Millions in the streets. Non stop inflammatory media. Rock concerts being planned. Politicians insulting him. Big tech banning any other viewpoints. The world would be on fire.

This does appear to have John F’n Kerry’s fingerprints...
