Russia? China+Russia would suck pretty bad for everyone else.
I dont know if there's an actual chance of that ever happening.

In a video message President Ghani said he’s reorganizing the ANDSF and is in consultation with global partners and Afghan political leaders to find a way of “stopping further bloodshed”.
Many falsely reported that Ghani’s today’s message is about him resigning.

They just executed one of their largest joint military training exercises ever a week or two ago.

We should have withdrawn in the middle of Winter when the Taliban was shut down by snow and mountain passessThe Fall Guy said:
We had a chance to leave in May. The Taliban were sitting still. They wanted this to show the US and the senile president what they could do and embarass us.
But Dhead Biden wanted a ceremonial exit on Sept 11th. F BIDEN!!

Another thing here: could russia see our pathetic strategies and weak leadership and decide it's time to take Ukraine?
Don't know about the rumor "they wouldn't let him", however the fault lies irrefutably, undeniably on whoever decided to pull out our troops in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHILE NOT INFORMING THE Afghanistan officials basically hanging them out to dry.Stat Monitor Repairman said:
Trump wanted to pull out of Afganistan, but the rumor was 'they wouldn't let him.' Whoever 'they' is.
If they wanted to 'get' Trump so bad, why didn't they let him do it on his watch?
You knew it was gonna go bad.

You really have a lot of NERVE to post that when Trump was working to pull our troops out of Afhanistan no matter what the cost and even ended up with a so-called peace treaty between the US and the Taliban that anyone with any brains knew they would never keep.
Trump, not Biden, put all this in motion. As usual, Trump is working hard to shift the blame to someone else.
Biden is a POS, but this failure is squarely on Trump, not Biden.

Trump wasn't spineless, that's why there wasn't a great deal of international conflict. Biden...the whole world knows he's weak and that US priorities are screwed up across the board.
Unfortunate, but truepagerman @ work said:
The only thing that matters vis-a-vis Afghanistan is that the Marines that were/are being sent there have the correct breakdown of gays, trans, women and minorities so that all those risking their lives because this administration can't plan their way out of a paper bag "look like America".
I hate the thought that white privilege would cause insufficient numbers of various historically oppressed marginalized groups to be underrepresented in this giant goat rope.

Agree. It was always going to be bad to some degree. Trump rightly set the plan in motion to get us out of the forever war. Who knows how differently it would have looked had his team ultimately been the ones who organized it vs the Biden team.
Biden delaying it until end of summer/close to the 9/11 anniversary for an attempted political moment only gave the Taliban more time to prepare for what is turning into a disastrous situation.

This is a true and honest assessment, we will never know had President Trump remained in office what would occur.Bunk Moreland said:
