If Biden can't handle a simple evacuation, he cannot handle inflation.

    It's easy to refute that claim logically - one simply points out that you cannot prove a counterfactual. That makes your point mere worthless opinion.
    Frankly, while I wish we'd NOT been in Afghanistan for 20+ years, I think the proper alternative was too bomb them completely back to the stone age on September 12th and call it a good day's work.

    The ability to admit Biden’s failure on here is truly pathetic
    It’s OK
    You can still hate Trump and acknowledge this was the worse withdrawal wver

    So you agree it wasn’t worth it. So you’re arguing because…troll. Got it.

    We kept the Taliban from committing more terrorist acts against America over the 20 years. I can no more prove a counterfactual than you can.

    In terms strictly of lives lost - there is no right answer possible. It's possible had we not gone into Afghanistan, we would not have removed as many Al Queda and it's possible they would have killed more than 2,500 Americans over the past 20 years. But I can no more prove that you can prove the alternative.

    Ignoring the loss of life - no - it was not worth it at all. I cannot say how many lives our soldiers' sacrifices saved. God rest all of their souls. How many trillions spent babysitting the Taliban when we could have spent $50 billion and rid the earth of them completely?

    What is Biden doing about the fact that China invented COVID with the financial help from Fauci? Apparently, not a damned thing.

    What's Biden doing about rising prices? Not a damned thing - blowing it off.

    He's incompetent.

    What specifically do you want Biden to do about China?
    What specifically do you want to do about inflation? Please be as specific as possible regarding both questions.

    Specifically? He could - since apparently he's (was) popular around the world - lead a group of countries to demand reparations from China at least equal to the cost of the COVID pandemic (including the cost of the inevitable annual shots from now until eternity). But since they're buying his son's "artwork" and giving him money to manage, that's out of the question. The Biden's are Bidens first, Americans second.

    Why haven’t any other countries made such a demand of China? You really think China is going to pay reparations? That’s funny.
    You forgot to answer the second question.

    Is it REALLY INFLATION or is it just plain and simple capitalist greed??? Wall St is rising as companies report higher profit margins resulting in increased prices for their shares, as the rich get richer.

    Biden got what he went after. The rest of us get nothing.

    We did not need to be mixed up in WW1 or 2 or Korea or Vietnam.
    Thanks for the blessing.

    it must be killing some that no Americans have died and the extraction of Americans is almost complete, Biden appears to be pulling it off

    that said, I am just playing partisan here, as I know Biden did not do anything, this was always about the Taliban and what they choose to do (but if the right is gonna attack Biden, then if all goes well, that is on Biden too?)

    thankfully, so far the Taliban has not gone there, I think they just want us out of there

    I already said we didn’t need to be involved in Korea and Vietnam. So you think we should have sat by and watched Hitler conquer Europe and continue to kill off even more Jews? And we should have given Japan a pass for attacking us? Oh behalf of everyone in the US we are grateful you’re not in a position or power.

    Here are my words which do not match yours.
    1. Franklin Roosevelt was no friend to the Jews. We know it by him blocking their entry into America when they were allowed to leave by the Nazis.
    2. America had no clue what Hitler did to the jews until learning it after war's end in 1945.
    3. So what if Hitler took France or other countries when we did nothing at all when he did that.
    4. FDR set up the Hawaiian islands so they would get attacked.
    Why attack me. I had not attacked you.

    Wake the hell up. The debt increased under Obama more than every other president combined.
