So were you not among those that opposed Trump governance?

I didn't opposed trump government right from time.. he is a blunt person, he doesn't hides his feeling and will do what he says when the opportunity present itself... If trump were the one in government, Taliban dare not try that sh!t!..

Its funny but it only highlights the fact that America is not as great as they want the rest of the world to believe.

The British empire built and sustained majority of the countries of the world including America, to some its very easy to do until America decided to try their expertise in nation building with guns and trillions of dollars.

They failed shamefully in Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Vietnam, Yemen, Syria, Libya, Lebanon, etc

Even in their own country they have turned democracy upside down where majority vote don't count, resources controlled by the 1% with a history of overthrowing democratically elected governments and replacing with Despots.

Its time to move on from the illusion that America is the world power!

Most of you like quoting less relevant history.
In WW2 the UK and Russia was having trouble taking down Nazi Germany which had taken over 80% of Europe. The US entering the war was the changing factor as they launched battle campaigns in Europe and in Asia fighting the Japanese. Their weapons helped the Russians begin the gradual end to Hitler’s domination. Without them Russia and The British wouldn’t have stood a Chance from Germany.

Taking down Germany in WW2 was a matter of ‘You’re next’ and America knew it HAD to win the war unlike Vietnam, Iran and Afghanistan.

America isn’t as dumb as you think.
If they’re leaving Afghanistan it’s because the war doesn’t favour them again. And that’s it.

do you know how many air components America had deployed in Afghanistan against taliban, do you know how many drones America used against Taliban yet there was still no major achievement, aside the agreement by American govt to pull out all troops and non combatants from Afghan civil war.

It was an agreement during the Trump administration that America shall pull out its own trips out and the Afghan army shall continue the war, in their own, but they would still be getting military advise and war equipment, but non of it's soldier shall fight the war anymore, the only reason America would have attacked Taliban with airstrikes was if Taliban had attacked American formation while pulling out, as long as the Afghan soldier flee their posts, their is nothing the Americans can do than to watch out for any would be attacks on it's on citizens or soldiers.

The talibans are very much aware of all of these, they didn't attack the Americans unlike during the Soviet pull out, where bombs rained on the Soviets.

Taliban took major part of the country without a single fight it opposition from the Afghan army, so na America wan deploy plans to halt their advance
With the look of things, Afghan army want Taliban to take over........
Mr Biden further explained that he will not ask the US troops to fight endlessly in another country’s civil war, taking casualties, suffering life-shattering injuries, leaving families broken by grief and loss.

Joe Biden is very active and useful(there couldn't been a better time)..

Those angry with Joe, are those gaining from the war. Eg. You don't expect Russia and China to be happy,because of weapons..

Some few individuals too, drugs and human trafficking, money laundering, war mongers, war initiators and mediators, pillagers, to mention but a few. They do them for the money...
I don't think we should blame Biden......

Afghan has 70% of the Poppy farms. That's an economy on its own. Taliban go manage. That's where they get money to sponsor their allahu akbomb agenda.

The billions in the reserves, where do you think it's from? Opium baby.
And boom, all Afghanistan assets in U.S institutions go into U.S treasury. It's starting to look like a deliberate effort sef.

Just with America's Airpower alone they could have halted any Taliban advance and that would have boosted the moral of the Cowardly Afghan troops who have never fought without the Americans guiding them

Same Air power that did not end the Taliban's existence for 20 years?

Which president planned to invite Taliban's to the USA?

Wait, wait...are you still blaming Trump's administration?

Is it not same Nigerians that say Buhari should stop blame games?

There is no basis to blame Trump here whatsoever.

Firstly the withdrawal did not occur during his Presidency.

Secondly, Biden's administration could have formulated their own strategy if they were smart enough. Its a new administration. They didn't even follow what Trump had in mind so what's the blame on Trump?

Biden could have just said, we ain't withdrawing nobody..se finis...but he didn't.

Trump said in one of his conferences, if the Taliban were to try any rubbish, they would immediately respond.

But here, Biden is on vacation licking ice cream and could care less.

Biden should formulate a new strategy that the Pentagon could not formulate in 20 years, while sacrificing American life's and billions in tax payers money.

Instead of spewing ignorance. You can go on msnbc and watch a U.S veteran interview on why the Afghan army couldn't fight back.

Summary, he blamed Biden and not the Afghans.

Why?

Because for years, the Afghan army weren't being funded and were ill equipped, without fuel or ammunition. Even with all that the Afghan army were still putting up a fight. And the U.S just bailed out on them.

Very incompetent administration.
So the Biden administration that's just over one year old is at fault for the decades of poor funding. Nice logic bro.

Stop talking rubbish abeg....why was Trump's strategy different?

Why did Trump initially pull thousands of troops but left over 2000 troops because he said it was too early to pull out everyone?

Why is it Trump promised retaliatory force to the Taliban in case of a breach of a deal but Biden says he doesn't care?

Why did Trump say he has to airlift American citizens first and its allies before removing all the Troops?

Why did Biden do the opposite of the Above? Removing all troops and leaving over 11k Americans stranded in Afghanistan. Along with weapons and biometric info device that shows the Taliban who the U.S allies are?

What kind of stupid excuse that doesn't even make sense are you using?

Get your thinking faculty in order..and learn to think rationally.

Unfortunately there are many people with your kind of logic in leadership in the country called Nigeria.

Trump administration knew all these and therefore had a strategy of leaving behind over 2k troops which he refused to pull out. He also made it clear on the use of retaliatory force in case of the Taliban breaking the agreement. He said he had to pull out civilians first before the troops which Joe didn't do.

If someone gives a driver a car that another driver had previously used on a journey and they tell the new driver,hey, there isn't much fuel to make the trip you need to buy more. But he insists anyway to make the trip and the little fuel finishes along the way, who would you blame, the new driver or the previous driver?

Some of you need critical thinking skills.

Now pull out Trump statement about withdrawal of troops when he was president.

Hello! Trump proposed he will pull out US troops from Afghanistan.

And mind you, Bidens move is valid. Americans can't be dying and tax payers money wasted on a war that will NEVER end.

Take that to the bank.

I know many of you here are not rational thinkers..and based on all you wrote, it shows you don't even know what you are arguing about.

Firstly,
Trump was the one who made the deal to remove troops out of Afghanistan not Biden.

Secondly, Trump already removed thousands of Troops and left behind about 2000...refusing to remove them yet..

Why?

Because

1. It wasn't yet safe as he said in many press conferences.

2. American Civilians and weaponry had to be evacuated first.

3. Ensure U.S allies are safe in the country. And those with SIV passport are given safe haven.

4. When it has been deemed safe..then pull out the last remaining 2000 American troops.

4. If the Taliban breaks the deal, Trump sends back Troops to retaliate with force.

But guess what Biden did?

Totally opposite. Threw caution to the wind.

Pulled out all the Troops.

Left all the weapons.

Left a biometric record device that exposes to the Taliban who the US allies are.

Left the Allies.

Left over 11k American citizens trapped in the country.

And When the Taliban took over..he didn't care.

Now they don't even know how to rescue the American citizens.

Now a hotline had to be created for US veterans who served in Afghanistan so they can't commit suicide due to PTSD...and guess what, calls where off the charts...because of the trauma Biden has caused them.
