If I may indulge in a small crudity: first come, then pull out. Works every time.

What a joke. Trump told the Taliban...Don't keep the deal and I'll knock the cr** out of you.
Biden said to the Afghans...."Not my problem".
To: Hojczyk
So whatever deal Trump made, Biden admits he had the choice to stay or go.
Most of us think Trump would have hit them hard if they broke the deal like this. Can’t even imagine he’d shrug his shoulders and allow this.

“to make sure we can have an orderly and safe drawdown...”
Corrected: ...we can have an orderly and safe advance to the rear (aka retreat).

Send 10,000 to make sure the 5,000 get out safely, silly..
To: Hojczyk
And tell me, Joe. How many troops are you sending to our southern border?
Oh, silly me. I already know the answer.

Is this in addition to the 3000 he said he was sending?? Bet so.
To: Hojczyk
my predecessor— [ . . . ]imposed a May 1, 2021 deadline on US forces
While Trump was certainly negotiating a withdrawal, he never gave an explicit date. Whatever plans he had were not announced over the wire services.

For the record, Trump was also clear that if the Taliban broke the deal, as they did a month ago when they went on the offensive, Trump would have had 20,000 (or more) Troops there within 48 hours.
Slightly different than the do-nothing Biden policy.

Rinse and repeat . . . but what happens when we max out at 400,000 or so?

Its always “I inherited” from the commies when it comes to their failures. If everything had gone perfect Biden and his cronies would have taken total credit for it, but since its a total disaster its Trump’s fault..oh go F yourself Dementia Joe, we all know you did NOT write that statement
