    As if the MAGA, America first crowd gives a damn about Afghans executed. They only like to use them as political football to attack Biden. Otherwise, they'd be grouped under the Trumper no likely foreigner category.

    I'm going to help you out here, so you can avoid the moving the goalpost fallacy in the future.

    First, you claim that the Afghan force was "left out of the process". They weren't. They were specifically incorporated into the process by a requirement that there be intra-Afghan negotiations (i.e. between the Taliban and Afghan government). Specific to that was the requirement that one of the points of that negotiation was required to be a permanent ceasefire between the two sides. Ergo, they were included in the process.

    Then, you shift your argument to say that the "Afghan government was not part of the negotiations between America and the Taliban". That is a wholly different claim than saying "they were left out of the process".

    That's moving the goalposts. Which you just did.

    I agree that the whole idea was doomed from the get go. So we agree on that. But, those negotiations did take place, they were ongoing as late as this July. Yes, they ultimately failed, which SHOULD have given Biden a damned clue about what was likely to happen once the US pulled out from areas.

    To do what you are claiming the phrase would be "inter" not "intra".
    "inter" means "between" hence your post shows that you are wrong.

    I am not for nation-building. I am not looking for these dirtbags in tunnels and caves. I'm for them not being able to take back their land. If we just kept a small force there to that, that would be okay. Allowing the Taliban to rush back in and take their land without a fight is a spit on the graves of the 3,000 we lost on that day.

    Irrelevant red herring. I'm sure they consulted with the US as the deal was made.

    This is a mass grave in Mexico - this is the drug violence that Mexicans are fleeing from. So Robert - why are you freaking out
    about one mass execution, but not the other? Why are one set of refugees more important, or less?

    Cartels are just about as bad as the Taliban, maybe worse. Biden likes open borders so the can infiltrate the US, too.

    I like that, but are they really that invincible?

    Taliban doesn't even have war equipment, how are they taking over a whole country?

    Biden could easily hold them off, but he didn't want to.

    Don't forget that the us army's main objective in Afghanistan was to defeat Taliban,

    But now they are shying away from the war they were allegedly seeking from the start.

    Politico should have been honest about Biden before he was elected.

    But for over 4 years we endured daily attacks against Trump from actual Americans. I noticed when watching TV over the past 4 days that the media still is in love with the failure Biden and deeply hate Trump.

    Um... you expect Americans to fight and die for Taiwan's freedom when Americans do nothing while their own freedoms are stripped?

    Agreed. I don't give a damn about what happens to the Afghans. Not even a little bit. I care passionately what happens in America and the globalist elites who are slowly turning America into a dystopia. I don't believe I will ever support a foreign intervention again. The morals of our elite are no different than those of Stalin... the only thing they care about is what will increase their power and their wealth. They actively despise the American middle class and hope to erase it.... as they are the only barrier between them and absolute power.

    Aren’t you for open borders? Why? When THAT is on the other side of our border?

    Have NEVER been for open borders. I've always advocated for employer sponsored 9 month visas. No other entry except
    in crisis.
