How would you rate Joe Biden's handling of the Afghan/Taliban situation ?

-10.

9. President Biden ended a hopeless debacle that was costing us the lives of our soldiers for no good reason. And has cost us over two trillion dollars. Sometimes there is no good outcome to a bad situation. The blame belongs with President George W. Bush who got us entangled in that Afghanistan/Iraq mess in 2002.

It was largely a scam by unscrupulous military contracts and other scoundrels to line their pockets at the expense of the American tax payer.

This whole idea of withdrawal was bad from the start. There was no need to. Yes President Trump began the process and it’s one of the few things he did that I completely disagreed with. That said, how Biden has chosen to execute the withdrawal is beyond incompetent. Abandoning Black Hawk helicopters, 1000s of rifles, 10s of 1000s rounds of ammunition. No plan to get American citizens out, they don’t know how many there are and now can’t even guarantee safe passage to the airport in Kabul. Calling the ANA cowards. Sentencing Afghan nationals who fought beside us to death by not processing their visas and getting them the hell out of there. State Department says one thing, Pentagon says another and Biden finds a way to contradict both. Gross dereliction of duty by this administration.

Pictures being worth thousands of words....seems about right.

I believe Joe Biden and the rest of the world should be ashamed of themselves, the Afghan/Taliban situation is a total cluster fuck

Shame on America and her Allies

I would give him a 10 because he's doing exactly I would have expected him to do.
He didn't fail my expectations of him 🤣

Can we use negative numbers? 😝 Negative 10 trillion.

It was NOT lost on me that during the Pentagon's news conference, that one of the responders, a very large black man whose name I don't recall, actually hesitated and smirked a little bit when asked why our armed forces had to leave in such a hurry from Bagram, in the middle of the night, abandoning the Afghan forces there without a word, and without a plan in place for getting our people out safely.

From that one smirk, I could picture Biden having a demented tantrum in front of his military and National Security advisors, and telling them to " Get out of Iran...I mean...Afg-Afghanistan NOW, I am your C-c-commander in Chief and you WILL obey me! And I need a nap because I have a headache from eating so much ice cream! It was chocolate and vanilla swirl, which is my favorite! I ate a LOT and have major brain freeze! So I am going on vacation!!!"

I could also see, from that one smirk, that the advisors decided to eff Biden's political career by obeying him instantly.

It was a look that said..."Yeah...we effed you, old man. And that makes us happy. How do you like us NOW?"

8. He made the critical mistake of imagining that our intelligence agencies were intelligent, but otherwise it was fine. This move will save at least hundreds of American lives, thousands of civilian lives, and trillions of dollars.

If i selected 1 then i would be saying he is handling it very badly..

But i don't think he has handled it at all.. The guy is a senile old man who most likely had no idea what his handlers where doing in the situation.. Biden has quickly become an international joke and a meme for weakness and incompetence.. But really i don't think he is in control of anything.. He is a vacuum headed puppet..

-10...Unmitigated Disaster

Joe Biden can't handle the zipper on his pants 🙄

The administration’s handling of it is below zero. He’s not personally handling it, no President of the United States would do so either.

There is a dipsh*t paid lib on here that thinks its the greatest thing ever.

Joe just watched the news and said to himself what situation 👽

I am sure there must be a worse way to do a withdrawal from Afghanistan but I honestly can't think of one. Biden has been shown to be an utter failure (I am being kind here) and should, if he has any personal integrity resign immediately. Oh he should take Heels up Harris with him. She would be just as bad as Biden. How did those two ever get elected? Serious question. Did no one see this kind of disaster unfolding when they cast a ballot for a man with dementia and a woman who climbed the political ladder on her back?

-1

Minus 10 to the tenth power

Everything his puppeteers have done since he was put in the white house has been to undermine and destroy this country and its constitution.

0. I recall there being a ton of experts here on Presidential handlings who were very vocal whenever Trump would be accused of something. They seem awfully quiet. I wonder where all their strident demanding vitriol has gone? We have a President here who clearly has bungled (again) and nary a peep from those oh-so educated know-it-all experts on everything. 😂

he is handling it?

-100

Less than 1

I didn't want to pay attention too much since it's planned but another distraction.


Joe biden doesn't bother to know. The Blame should be who's in charge of Biden.

It wasn't Horrible nor Good. Just planned on purpose..

Ask Obama and Bush. They know the game

10 for pulling out!

1 for not addressing the real issues. And it's not human rights issues.

We should have never been involved in this whole thing back in 1978. Actually 1976.

F-

Zero

I commented a few days ago, but I’ve seen some reactions from European politicians and that says a lot because not all of it is supportive of the Biden Administration’s handling of Afghanistan draw down. But more than that, what will take place as we approach, come to 31 August?

I give him a 3.
He us getting us out which is good but we are leaving with no honor which is bad.

0 . He didn’t do anything . He just allowed the takeover

Very few people know the details of the thought process that went into any of this, so this survey will yield opinions that are slightly more useful than a popularity contest.

If one is to believe the shitbags from the prior administration, there was never an intent to follow through on pulling out, so to that end, Biden at least is the first President in 2 decades to have the stones to make a very difficult decision.

I question the apparent faith he had in Ghani who was, evidently, not paying the military so that he could amass some wealth because he was planning to bail with suitcases full of cash. (I have no idea if he actually fled with cash)

It baffles me that the military wasn’t able to communicate back to Washington that the soldiers weren’t getting paid and therefore would be subject to laying down for the Taliban… or maybe this was known all along and this was part of the plan?

Truth is, without fighting in any given region, the Taliban is now spread really thin across the country. From a strategic position, that’s not a bad plan: let the enemy in and spread them out.

The people dying at the airport is the worst humanitarian part of this.

I cannot grade anyone. I can provide only an incomplete and then wait for more to unfold.

1. That shouldn't even be a Question.

Maybe 4-5, we needed to exit Afghanistan a long time ago, good on him for finally doing that. His team could have done a better job realizing that the Afghan Government and the ANA were incapable of continuing after we left and planned for that happening ahead of time but hindsight is 20/20.

out of his depth 1

No more than a 2

You'd need to correct the depth chart as to how low I would rate it. Massive cluster 'eff...and the scary part is....his dementia has overridden any modicum of sense he may have remaining. It's now revealed we don't even know how many Americans we have missing, to say nothing of the logistics necessary to get them to the airports. Kudo's to both the French & Brits for having the hair to go in and search for theirs. Just.....totally inept and inexcusable.

Now do people understand how important their vote is? Unbelieveable.

0

1 is way to high.

I am tired of Americans having to "police" the world. It's a drain on our resources and enables other countries not to have to find solutions to their own problems. But there is always a reason. We never, ever go in without a solid benefit to the US (oil), not to save them from the Taliban, that's for sure.

{@nimbus] what in comparison on oles asperations at old trafford you mean 😆

Who ever gave that Order is a traitor and seriously compromised our national security by supplying arms to a radical Muslim terrorist organization . No one is this stupid, it was done intentionally

Given the situation he was handed by Trump's deal I think he managed it as best as could be expected.

Beat thing that could happen is he stand at that podium with Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi and a bomb goes off.

Somewhere in the middle

1. He doesn’t even have accurate information and forgets what he’s told. This is getting way too serious now. We have a health crises and demented people ready for blow us up and they have that bonehead in charge.

someone holds his pp for him when he goes to the loo, he can't handle anything but sniffing and wishing
