...he's actually just privatizing it. "Biden’s claim that he is ending the forever war is misleading. As The New York Times reported, the United States would remain after the formal departure of U.S. troops with a “shadowy combination of clandestine Special Operations Forces, Pentagon contractors and covert intelligence operatives.” Their mission will be to “find and attack the most dangerous Qaeda or Islamic state threats, current and former American officials said.” " ... " “Regardless of whether the 3500 acknowledged U.S. troops leave Afghanistan, the U.S. military will still be present in the form of thousands of special operations and CIA personnel in and around Afghanistan, through dozens of squadrons of manned attack aircraft and drones stationed on land bases and on aircraft carriers in the region, and by hundreds of cruise missiles on ships and submarines.” " ... "The meaninglessness of President Biden’s announcement becomes apparent when we consider that the Pentagon employs more than seven contractors for every serviceman or woman in Afghanistan, an increase from one contractor for every serviceman or woman a decade ago. As of January, more than 18,000 contractors remained in Afghanistan, according to a Defense Department report, when official troop totals had been reduced to 2,500. These totals reflect the U.S. government’s strategy of outsourcing war to the benefit of private mercenary corporations, and as a means of distancing the war from the public and averting dissent, since relatively few Americans are directly impacted by it. Most of the mercenaries are ex-military veterans, though a percentage are third-country nationals who are paid meager wages to perform menial duties for the military. One of the biggest mercenary companies is DynCorp International of Falls Church Virginia, which as of 2019 had received over $7 billion in government contracts to train the Afghan army and manage military bases in Afghanistan" But really, is anyone surprised? Biden isn't ending the Afghanistan War, he's privatizing it: Special Forces, Pentagon contractors, intelligence operatives will remain | The Grayzone
Biden the Usurper Bungles Afghanistan: Taliban attacks in Afghanistan are on the rise, Just the News’ Susan Katz Keating reports. Note her inclusion of the key difference between the withdrawal strategies of Trump and Biden. Withdrawal without winning is very dangerous. As the force numbers dwindle, they reach a point where the remaining force is too small to protect itself. Under Biden the terrorists have captured areas in northern and southern parts of the country, and also have inflicted and suffered battlefield losses. The fundamentalist Islamist group stepped up its attacks after the Usurper announced that they would pull their forces out of Afghanistan by Sept. 11, without conditions. Biden The Usurper announced that he would pull troops at the later date, but without conditions. ISIS may regroup within the heavily mountainous region, which would be the second time Biden was part of a withdrawal that made the way for the rise of ISIS.
If we wait a year, two more years, five more years, how would things be different other than our death count?
Might as well pull every agency out of there. That entire region has been trying to slaughter each other to the last man for the past 2,000 years. I say let them finish what they started, and when that last man is standing, then we turn that entire region into a sea of molten glass....
The only way they would ever be able to end the war is to convert the Taliban to Christianity, something they are never going to do.
But there are options....... but this would take quite a bit of homework to be understood..... Your nomination for Nobel Prize in Literature? Messiah Yeshua - Jesus - Issa advised his followers to do something that very few of us even try to apply...... Matthew 5:25 "Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison." I believe in partial agreement with adversaries if they are partly correct......... This near death experiencer was shown events in the final week of the life of Messiah Yeshua - Jesus that would tend to be extremely interesting to Muslims.
Trump constantly blamed the previous admins for not ending the war, then Trump kicks the can to Biden
agree, we should have ended this months after it strted, should have just been an aerial attack, nothing more Bush grabbed the tiger by the tail, then could not let go and every admin as passed this mess on to the next ever since - this has cost us many many many trillions both sides know when it ends and we leave it gets ugly, so they are afraid they will get blamed
The US can't withdraw from Afghanistan any more than they can raise the interest rate. The economy is effectively dependent on the military digging holes half way across the world, it doesn't matter what the military goal is so long as they're on some expensive excursion.
“NEVER UNDERESTIMATE JOE’S ABILITY TO F*** THINGS UP”: ~ B. Obama Joe Biden Promised To Leave Afghanistan. Has He Changed His Mind? “The Associated Press reported on Thursday that upwards of 650 U.S. troops will remain in Afghanistan, even after the so-called withdrawal is completed later this summer. The reasons for the change are confusion, as U.S. officials told the AP that troops will remain behind to provide security at the embassy, but also said they would be there as, ‘a more permanent force presence in the country.'” Confusion and Joe Biden are handmaidens. Biden's brain is kind of melted butter.
