What does the Trump administration do?
+++++
My question as well. And a post withdrawal action by the Taliban would, without U.S. intervention, certainly have resulted in the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan.
And so, if that highly likely event happened, we would have a relatively clean exit but be left with what we have now - a Taliban Afghanistan.
Trump needs to tell us what he would have done then.
A modicum of research would dispel your bewilderment.
Re: 38;- Good post.
Trump doesn’t need to explain anything. Nothing. He is not President due to fraud this current President and his team was wholly complicit in.
I can tell you two things Trump would not have done: He would’t have abandoned Bagram with all its equipment in the middle of the night since other than Kabul, it was the only other place to use to get flights in and out, and he wouldn’t have chosen a date like 9/11/2021 as his target goal for withdrawal.
The question isn’t whether Afghanistan would fall to the Taliban after US withdrawal. That is totally irrelevant if we are pulling out.
The question is the conduct and planning of the pullout.
