@c-i-v saidSo when Trump reduced the military to 2500 before he left office, where would you place that move in your pecking order you provided in your post ?
@Rajk999
Air strikes have a wonderful affect on approaching terrorists. 🤔
1st... Americans out.
2nd...Those who helped out.
3rd. Military out.
It's simple really.
Military out part 1.
(designed to sabotage the incoming administration)
I call that an act of geo-political arson.
And like a classic arsonist, he returns to the scene to blather about the administration.
His phone call in to Hannity (FOX Propaganda) last night was a bad joke.
But I'm sure you were cheering him on all the way.

@mott-the-hoople said......TRUMP and Pompeo brokered this deal...Not Biden
you people keep ignoring the fact biden effectually allowed the complete takeover when he removed US soldiers without any conditions, placed Americans in jeopardy and ARMED the taliban.
That is exactly what happened when you look past the hyperbole.
China is happy.

Keep in mind that Donald J. Trump invited the Taliban to Camp David the week of Sept. 11 to strike what was essentially a surrender deal, but cancelled after the obvious backlash of hosting the Taliban on 9/11. Instead, he sent Pompeo to Qatar to sign the deal with the Taliban, and announced that he had given the Taliban everything they asked for because “everyone is tired of war.”
“[It’s] time for someone else to do that work and it will be the Taliban and it could be surrounding countries,” Trump said at the time.
Trump even had private discussions with the top Taliban leader, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar. I could only imagine what was said and promised. Not only did Trump cave to the Taliban by giving them everything they asked for, but no members of the Afghan government were present. None. Trump completely cut them out of the deal.
“We had a very good conversation with the leader of the Taliban today, and they’re looking to get this ended. The relationship is very good that I have with The Mullah,'' Trump said in Feb.2020 after telling The Taliban he will remove all U.S. troops. Former U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan Ryan Crocker, who was appointed under George W. Bush, blames Trump’s “peace” deal with what is happening now because Trump would only work with the Taliban and completely delegitimized the Afghan government.
