I won’t get into an argument with you here brother because I have zero issues with you, but I do however need to point something out.
Those negotiations that took place were around 18 months ago, under a different presidency and administration. Now, is it fair for me to say that Republican and Democrat presidents both have a really bad habit of totally disregarding literally anything and everything their predecessors did? Especially in today’s day where EVERYTHING is extremely polarized. So while those negotiations started with the Trump administration, would you agree that it’s fair to say that the plans that were created back then were completely thrown to the wind by Biden and his advisors? Because that is what seems likely to me.. now, I am nobody, and I’m not smarter than anyone here, you included. But I think it’s a reasonable assessment to think that Biden did exactly whatever he wanted to do in this drawdown/pull-out, and also the military leaders that had an active hand in this mess. NOW, please don’t mistake me here and take this as me saying that Trump would’ve done everything perfectly and that there wouldn’t have been any casualties or attacks or any of that. But what I am trying to say here, is that we DO know what happened here is laying on the shoulders of Biden, his admin, and the Chief’s of Staff currently in command, because they are the ones calling the shots and making the decisions.
I respect your opinion, because I know you have been around FOREVER and you’re an intelligent guy, I’m just want to try to get you to distance yourself from that typical liberal mindset of “deflect and point blame at the Trump era”, because I believe you’re better than that.
