Now days military strength no longer coming from the total numbers of the military troops
Military strength now is about which countries contains best military weapon system
When it comes to which countries contains the best military weapon system
No other countries can't be match with the United State military weapon system
Not even communist china or russia can't stand against United State military weapon system
United State our country have to be remaining in world top position for the best interest of the United State allies countries peace
It is hard to imagine chinese communist being in world top position
It is going to be bring up choas to world wide
So for the United State remaining being in world top position is not just for the american citizens but also it is good and save for the citizens of the world wide
How long can you blame someone else… this is getting old.
We won't withdraw from Afghanistan until every single American has been evacuated..
Joe Biden..Liar in Chief.
Well I will tell you one thing. You won't see helicopters lifting people off of the Embassy roof. None of that..
Joe Biden..Liar in Chief.
TRUMP DID IT!!!
Joe Biden..Lying, Shirker in Chief..
The absolute worst, most poorly planned and executed Military operation in history. And everyone involved tells a contradictory story. Except they all agree, "TRUMP DID IT"
"TRUMP DID IT".
Lying cowards.
Blah blah all lies and BS! Absolutely no excuses in the world can explain the flat out dumb decisions made when evacuating Afghanistan.
This guy needs to get fired
So turn away the 12k Haitians but not the 100k afgans? At this point accept them all
Always blaming trump
Sorry Pale but about Afghanistan withdrawal you are not telling the full truth here.
Hard to believe nobody 1000s of ppl btw wasn't aware of this. This is all the Pentagon cia us military. That's the truth. They know
Biden follows Trumps precedence? Hahahahahagahagsgahahafafa
Rather than go after Osama bin Laden and alqaida with one of the best intelligence agencies, the US decided to attack a whole country. Then fold up FBI etc
❌WE MUST BAN THE MILITARY/STATE DEPT USE OF "SPECIAL IMMIGRANT VISA" AS COMPENSATION FOR EMPLOYMENT
👨👩👧👦🔫👳♂️💸🇺🇲🧕💸
That’s all Democrats do is blame Trump lmao losers
So tried of you lying!!!
Bidden could have waited another 6-8 months or even a yr before pull out. Do you move date to leave your home and you don’t move your stuff out.
The Taliban was going to take over the country no matter what. We over through iran government and out one we thought better. The ppl didn’t think so. The ppl decide their government. If they didn’t want this they would have fought to the death. Not a shot fire in Kabul
Hey if you love these visa holders from terrorist country. Bring them to your town and subdivision. Ohh. Most liberals live in terrorist areas of big cities. So they will come to a city near you. New York, La, Hollywood, Atlanta, Detroit , Ect. Enjoy your terrier friends
This administration is second worst to Obama's. They both never hold or held themselves accountable for mistakes. They always blame someone else. Pathetic president.
Greg outa newsmax will love this lol
The Biden administration and anyone that supports them are an enemy of the United States.
This guy is a liar liar pants on fire there thousands of Americans still there
I really hope all these comments are from chinese bots. My God there can't be this many absolutely ridiculous sheep
Taliban Trump……😂 😃 😄 😅
Brilliant!
Good job.
The blockade on embassy visa approvals was installed to control information about Taliban ISIS and Al Queda guarded by US military soldiers in Afghanistan during 911.
I like blinken. Hez so smart. Looks like a reL smart.person to eork withj mt.biden.
A well thought out and extensive effort.
LMFAO
Another democratic buffoon
We see through the lies, you fool no one Blinken
Thank you for trying to clean up the mess left by the former and his incompetent WH
I AM AN INDEPENDENT VOTER!!! I GAVE THE DEMOCRATS A CHANCE, NEVER AGAIN. TRUMP HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS DEADLY WITHDRAWAL. BIDEN IS THE ONE WHO ABANDONED THE MISSION IN APRIL AND LET THE TALIBON TAKE OVER FOR 3 MONTHS. THEN, HE PUTS THE SOLDIERS BACK IN AUGUST 11TH TO A DEADLY, CHAOTIC MESS. TRUMP DID NOT LEAVE AMERICANS STRANDED IN AFGHANISTAN. TRUMP DID NOT LEAVE 82 BILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF ARTERILLARY IN THE HANDS OF THE TERRORISTS. TRUMP DID NOT LEAVE 74 MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF DRONES IN THE HANDS OF TERRORISTS. BIDEN IS THE ONE WHO IS GIVING 64 MILLION DOLLARS TO TERRORISTS DISGUISED AS MONEY TO AID THE AFGAN PEOPLE. BIDEN LET ISIS BOMB THE KUBAL AIRPORT KILLING 13 US SOLDIERS AND 170 AFGAN PEOPLE, BIDEN DID. BIDEN IS RESPONSIBLE. DEMOCRATS STOP BLAMING TRUMP FOR YOUR INCOMPETENCE.
Yeah…
So Republicans should stop pointing the finger. What are you doing to help conservatives?!
How many Afgans were evacuated during the last admin while they were delegitamizing the government, reducing troops and stalling the SIV program? The casualties were minimal given the circumstances and chaos as the Taliban were overrunning the city and people fleeing for their lives. Anyone who believes this could have been done clean and orderly without casualties are naive.
