Sending troops to Afghanistan to fight for others was a mistake: Biden
2021-08-18
[KhaamaPress] US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S., who gives the geriatric a bad name. He blames Afghans for losing Afghanistan....
in his White House public speech on Afghanistan said that sending and doubling troops in Afghanistan, staying for long in the country and fighting for the civil war of a foreign country was a mistake and he is not repeating that mistake and is bringing the war to an end.

Joe Biden said that he will not let his men and women in service fight for others anymore and does not regret the decision of full withdrawal of troops.

The US President said that they spent over a trillion dollars to train and equip the Afghan forces but they were not willing to fight for themselves thus, he added we are not fighting in Afghanistan anymore.

#3  Wasn't Joe Vice President for 8 years of the Afghanistan war?

#2  "Nation building" wasn't even tried.

The West wasn't exporting Western values to Afghanistan. The goal was importing the tyrannical values of Afghanistan into the West in order to appease the 'Noble People of Afghanistan.'

#1  Sending troops into Afghanistan to hunt down and kill those responsible for 9/11 was not a mistake. Trying to do 'nation building' wasn't in that goal. F'ing mission creep.
