I'm going to vote for policy, not a person. I don't agree with Trump on anything, so I'll vote for Biden.
On anything at all? So.. you like war? I assume you invest into the military industrial complex?
Biden ended the war in Afghanistan after 20 years. You just don't like that he sells military hardware to other countries, but that's what every president, even Jimmy Carter, does.
I think the way Biden went about it was wrong. We left military hardware that is now in the hands of the so-called enemy - the taliban. Which apparently they're now utilizing and repairing vehicles and other military assets for use.
Ultimately, the Taliban were well-equipped and well-armed enough to push around the Afghan Government and US Govt. I hardly think a blackhawk and some hummers is going to make a difference, but people like you sure do love the negative optics for some reason.
I appreciate Biden doing what the other Presidents couldn't. He saved American lives in the long-run
Forget the fact that this deflects the ultimate point: Biden actually got us out of a war; All Trump did was:
They can’t maintain it. They can hardly use what little was left for them.
That's pretty racist. What, because they're Afghanis, they don't have mechanical or electrical hands on experience? lmao
What little was left for them? Brah, they repaired 300 U.S. military vehicles. 300 isn't a little.
Ah, according to the illustrious (and surely credible) Afghanistan International, they did. Sure. And if so, how will they obtain parts to keep them continuously operational?
