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.

They should extend the mission until they get everyone out!
@JimboSaturn Nice idea but there are other parties involved. Biden can't just dictate terms on the fly with no consequences. If Biden pushes it further there will be retaliation and people will be going home in boxes. The people who are still in country are there because they signed up for this. People who were in the embassy, contractors who literally signed up to keep the lights on as the US pulls out. They were always going to be out last. The last group are people from NGOs that are that special kind of crazy. People like missionaires. And many will refuse to leave or give up their spot for others out of a sense of duty to try and make a difference. And unless the US government starts kidnapping US citizens they can't stop that. The State department started telling people to GTFO back in April. Most of this is all about domestic political optics not facts on the ground.
I don’t like the idea of people left behind at all. However Biden has gotten us into the position of having the military clustered inside the airport with no means of escape except through the air. The Taliban could conceivably just bomb them to death and or shoot down aircraft as they leave. Truly a dire predicament and a situation the teach to avoid at every military academy wordlwide. @JimboSaturn
We can only hope that as many as possible of those that wanted to leave made it and that all the. Ilitary make it home. It is what it is. The end. The end is never wrapped up in a bow or pretty. @JimboSaturn @PicturesOfABetterTomorrow
@jackjjackson

The sky is falling!
@jackjjackson Nobody is trapped inside the airport. Certainly not the military. Hell even that much is public info. Even Canadian Special Forces have been running in and out of Kabul collecting people.

Quit being a drama queen.
If the Taliban want to kill anyone in the airport or leaving the airport at this point they can. They are in 100% control. @PicturesOfABetterTomorrow
@jackjjackson So which is it? The Taliban controls everything or Biden is choosing to make bad decisions and refusing to extend the deadline. Can't have it both ways.


And that is factually wrong on multiple levels. It also makes no sense. They have no incentive to do so unless Biden takes your advice and arbitrarily breaks the deal your cult leader set in motion over a year ago.
Biden made a new deal last week when he sent the CIA director to negotiate with the Taliban. I haven’t advocated anything and Trump didn’t negotiate how the final departure would go THAT has been all Biden. @PicturesOfABetterTomorrow
@jackjjackson Yeah no. He just extended the deadline the best he could which makes sense. Trumpy wanted to give them 3 months less to get it done.


Funny how you want to give Trump credit for everything except the thing he actually put in motion just because you don't like the optics.
Trump didn’t strategize this botch final escape. @PicturesOfABetterTomorrow
@jackjjackson Keep telling yourself that. Got to protect Trumpy's fragile ego at all costs.

Actually he did worse. He was telling everyone who would listen what he wanted meaning he gave away all leverage the US had to negotiate. Pretty amateur hour for mr. "art of the deal."
The deal was when not how. Biden determined that how. @PicturesOfABetterTomorrow
@jackjjackson And by telling everyone when Trump handed over all the leverage to the Taliban. Good job. 😂


And Trump wanted to give the people carrying out the retreat 3 months less to prepare.


The how you presented is total fiction.
Your life is fiction pics. You can’t rebut the fact that the Biden admin orchestrated the final departure. @PicturesOfABetterTomorrow
@jackjjackson Again, you are the one making wild accusations and back nothing up. The burden of proof is on you.

Swing and a miss.
The military is all at the airport. Fact. Biden administration planned the final exodus since January. Fact. @PicturesOfABetterTomorrow
@jackjjackson Repeating yourself doesn't prove anything. So you have no evidence. Good to know.
You’re in denial as usual pics. I’ve educated you and my work here is done. @PicturesOfABetterTomorrow
@jackjjackson Still no evidence or proof. All you have done is make hyperbolic statements, nothing more.

That and mental gymnastics to get your cult leader off the hook for his part in this.
Like I wrote my work here is done. You’re now a sputtering fool 🤠 @PicturesOfABetterTomorrow
@jackjjackson Meaning you have nothing beyond hyperbole and conspiracy theories. No better than Alex Jones having a meltdown on air.
Done means done pics. You won’t provoke be by making your lies even more outrageous 😂😆😂 @PicturesOfABetterTomorrow
@jackjjackson Again, you are the one making dire pronouncements and conspiracies with no evidence. That is on you.

@jackjjackson Every time these new democrats are exposed for the complete incompetents that they are, all their little followers get extra crazy with their 'acting out'. They know they are on the wrong side of history, and they know that their heroes are despicable villains. All they know how to do is lash out like the spoiled toddlers that they are.
@Oberon1 And like a child you think anyone on earth that doesn't worship Trumpy and the GOP are Democrats. 🤦‍♂️
