The United States military’s former top commander in Afghanistan said President Joe Biden’s accelerated withdrawal of American forces has left the Central Asian country on the verge of a ‘brutal civil war.’
'The situation on the ground has become increasingly dire with each passing week,' Retired General David Petraeus told CNN on Sunday.

.... Petraeus said President Trump’s plan to keep 3,500 U.S. troops armed with drones in Afghanistan could have prevented the current situation.
“…That’s what Gen. Miller was pioneering and it’s all made possible by the advent of this armada of drones, which we also used in Iraq and Syria where we didn’t fight on the front lines,” he explained. “We allowed the host nations forces to do that and we enabled them.”
But this is now all moot. The Biden administration has chosen the get out ASAP policy, and Afghanistan will be reaping the whirlwind.

I have always been for a withdrawal from Afghanistan, but not for a stampede.
It was going to happen either way. Should of never gone. History repeats it's self..
Why do these a**wipe "news" sources always confer with globalists re. what they think about anti-globalist activities? What the frick are they expected to say? Biden (or whoever the hell is in charge of his daily meds) made the right decision. Just a bonus that he'll also take the heat for it. Love seeing the Left eat its own.
Thank god the nightmare is finally coming to an end. A massive relief as well to the Afghans who would rather live under Taliban rule than die under dronefire.
if we stay we are bad bad bad
if we go we are bad bad bad
"oh, won't you stay
Just a little bit longer? (the song)
Us leaving Afghanistan will just let the country balance itself out and becoming who it is.
Who are these highly educated people who are dumber than a sack of rocks?
You know, the chicoms do not invite Al Gore to give climate change speeches. Russian newspapers don't blare Greta Thunberg headlines. Why? Because they are already socialist/communist countries. I wonder if the frustration with losing Afghanistan amongst these "Smart" people is they were unable to get them to the point where they would be more afraid of 400 PPM of CO2 than any real world problems they have to live with. A country they can't bring within their manipulative deceptive fold. I will always admire that about Afghanistan.
Anyways.....Ron
