did we have an agreement with the Taliban? (you know, the one you assert was ironclad and inalterable)?
was the Taliban engaging US troops during the Exit? (i think we already established, no)/?
does it stand to reason that we could have set some measure of orderly transition out with the taliban?? (this is where you dissemble and fail to provide any answer because of fealty to party....)
We had an agreement with the Taliban which required we withdraw all troops by May 1st 2021. I don't recall writing a post with "ironclad" or "inalterable" in it.
The "agreement" or more accurately the "Surrender" signed by Trump in February did not involve the Afghan government in the negotiations and did not consider the Afghan army in the ceasefire. Would you agree that Trump threw our allies under the bus?
Would you also agree that Trump did nothing to prepare for an evacuation of US citizens, contractors or Afghan allies?
I'm not sure what it has to do with anything when you mention the Taliban "engaging" US troops.
Does it stand to reason we could have what? Did you forget the threats from the Taliban when Biden announced we would not be out by Trump's deadline?
I've posted what I thought Biden's options were...and none were all that great. If on his first day in office he had ordered between 20k and 50k troops back into the country and once on their way had dumped Trump's treaty we might not have lost to country to the Taliban....but we would have renewed our longest war for another decade.
Would you agree?
