Sippy Cup Joe does not care about any of this. He has ALWAYS been on the wrong side of foreign policy decisions over 50 freakin' years -quote from Robert Gates. He cannot even (or wants to) protect our borders - the man does NOT care.
One of the many things that so disgusts me about the exit, is primarily the sacrifice our military made. Sacrifice in American LIVES and many, many wounded that will never be the same. Many of them the same age as my grown sons.
A sacrifice that America gave that nation a chance and Joe pissed away 20 years of blood and treasure with a hasty exit - letting the Taliban back in.
My deep concern and fear is terrorism coming back to America.... the border is a sieve and bad guys are getting in to plan or carry out the next 9-11.
Knowing some basic history of Afghanistan - I was always concerned about the world track record in Afghanistan and us being there plus when and how we exit.
Alexander the Great, Genghis Kahn, Persian empires, the British several times, the Russians and NATO / mostly Americans could not fully bring Afghanistan to a better place in civilization.
Freedom mostly worked from 2001 - 2021 for them BUT it looks like history will sadly record NATO - really the US, failed like others before them, too.
The country will go back to 700 AD and the country will be ruled by barbarians.
