Prematurely abandoning Bagram airport is a huge Biden error
Having one airport available make it easier to control for the Taliban and way worse for the poor Americans and Afghans that supported us still there.

No real American would commit these atrocities against its own citizens. Abandoning Afghani allies, screwing over the UK and France, as well as giving up billions of $$ in military assets and technology is gasoline on an already raging fire. Make no mistake, the sock puppet in chief, Beijing Buyden isn't the one pulling the strings here.

@BizSuitStacy So - you'd rather we had canceled the treaty and stayed in Afghanistan forever? Staged a full invasion when the ANA melted? Never armed the Afghans in the first place?
All of these are shit options m8.

Biden is their lackey? @BizSuitStacy

@QuixoticSoul you don't think the withdrawal could be handled better...like maybe get the citizens out first before the military assets and personnel?
Your lack of logistical logic is astounding.

@BizSuitStacy Our military assets were gone for years at this point, and we started out ‘21 with 2500 people over there.
Meanwhile Kabul is a city of six million.
To meaningfully secure it without the Afghan military would require a full invasion. That’s option B and it sucks.

There is a lot of room between those options. 10-15K well trained trooped to orchestrate the evacuation may have been a good one. @QuixoticSoul

@jackjjackson 10-15k is likely not enough either tbh, Kabul is huge - and if you are going to be making provocative moves at this sensitive time and location, you need overwhelming and highly visible force.

@QuixoticSoul I had no idea Kabul was that big
I’d figure 1-2 mill tops

@AthrillatheHunt I got my numbers mixed up - it's 4.3 million. Not a small place.

@QuixoticSoul still double what I would have thought .
