Did Todd ever have credibility?
They didn't support America when we were there know let them live with their choices Americans lost to solders for nothing for people that didn't want our help
Imposing American cuture in a country that does not agree the way Americans live, is not right! Today not releasing funds is same as killing Afghans at point blank.. Release funds if you care or dont gives the Afghans false hope.
US couldn't have achieved its interests, nor could its peaceful withdrawal from Afghanistan, if Pakistan had not helped US in all this period. The stubborn and failed imposition of Western model by Pentagon and Washington inflicted huge losses in terms of taxpayers' money as well as troops. Historically and factually proven, US can't achieve its regional interests in South Asia and CentralAsia, if it doesn't engage with its historical partner Pakistan. Aligning with India couldn't even affect its massive business and strategic partnerships with Russia. US need to learn this lesson, once and for all 🇺🇸 🇵🇰

Military personality again. Some of them just bother me, so much. Like staring at a Rubics cube ive never even tryed.
Putting you failures on Pakistan what a shame, in actual it was other way around the terrorists who attacked and killed Pakistani citizens were given safe havens in Afghanistan by its govt and support of US and India they were responsible for the APS attack which killed 132 school children and we will never forget you for that. Pakistan lost 80K lives and 150Billion USD to this war and yes they were right all along US left and they made enemies for Pakistan in Afghanistan for future to come so this death cycle continues only for supporting US so called war on terror. Shameful
Takedown and the United States will overthrow the Taliban from Afghanistan. They're militants and terrorists.
McKenzie is amazing grace. Thank you. Yup. 🇺🇸☮️💜☕️
Wow. Yup. Gets to me tonight. Yup. So many things were happening.. then …a year ago. The planes were departing and folks ran along side. Tried to hang onto the sides of these huge airlines. It was very difficult ..then. Still is in Afghanistan 🇦🇫 these days. We really have come a long ways and tragically…there as well! . Our hopes were coming along but ..the Taliban regime ..wanted their region back. They did that. It’s just heartbreaking …otherwise. I wish them all …well. What to do and be thinking about it all. Thank you …Chuck Todd. Yup. 🤎☕️🌻🇺🇸well done.
This is what the majority of 39 million Afghanistan people wanted.
For 20 years, girls in Afghanistan went to school and women went to work. Veterans who served in Afghanistan should feel good about that mission. That impact on an entire generation is unlikely to disappear completely. Education and the dignity of work is not something that can be forgotten. Women in Afghanistan are still protesting, an expression of courage that should leave us all in awe. We cannot know now when these impacts might bear fruit. To live in hope is a valuable posture. Stay strong, sisters. Stay safe.
❤Only for fans over 18 year⤵️ Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine Cucuzz.Online Brünette und eine andere Blondine. Es wäre unfair, wennk ich 4 wählen würde
a very good summation of our time in afghanistan, general. and its not a failure as the general pointed out, it was sure helping to prevent terrorism in our country and other countries around the world.
their lives stink. that was going to happen the day after the u.s. left regardless of when and how. it was messy, it was always going to be messy, thats more the fault of the afghan people, after 20 plus years or working to create a better life for the people, it stayed the same except where we protected them, most of the people did not like or want us there from the beginning. we atleast tried to help them to help themselves, it didnt take.
Biden's decision to abandon our allies was a disaster
yes it was very heart breaking that those people lost their lives during the withdraw but moving forward we were still there for 20 years and they still can not defend themselves if not in 20 years then when we spent trillions and trillions of dollars s m h i would rather help ukraine regardless of politics it least the people of ukraine are willing to fight 4 them selves
Saudi funded 911 provided 16 terrorists & 1 Saudi prince bin laden we was 1000miles off for revenge on 911
Even with war added to Benedict Brandon’s long list of failures, his voters still justify and support his spineless incompetence.
One year ago today: The world said… “Thirteen soldiers tragically perished because of Brandon’s botched withdrawal”. Dems said… “It’s only thirteen.” .
