fuck thats a great point, its even more hilarious when you remember the army being siced on the bonus army or striking workers. for fucks sake the military was sent out to quash the whiskey rebellion too, but at least there every politican that supported that got voted the fuck out. so since the FDR administration the army has been used to make sure democracy does what the left wants.
Trump's own peace deal with "the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States as a state and is known as the Taliban" early last year (29 February 2020) meant that Bagram Air Base, among others, would have been abandoned by the US by 1 May 2021, according to Trump's own agreement with the Taliban: (https://www.state.gov/wp-content/up...r-Bringing-Peace-to-Afghanistan-02.29.20.pdf; archived: https://web.archive.org/web/2021082...or-Bringing-Peace-to-Afghanistan-02.29.20.pdf)
Yes. Eerie how the US is repeating the mistakes of the USSR.
Most soviet citizens much like the chinese now didnt trust the state, their motto was "the state pretends to pay us and we pretend we work", the chinese also have a word for that but I forgot it. They also have one that's basically "good enough" but actually means "just do the bare minimum of work" which is why most chinese companies sell shoddy shit
Did the Soviets stop supplying North Vietnam?
They might try -- and I fully expect the architects of the Foreverwar to try, provided they aren't planning on sending us somewhere else -- but the national will isn't there anymore. Worse, the INTERNATIONAL will isn't there anymore. We won't be going back to Afghanistan unless they bring their manipulation A game.4 Marines killed

Might be the only thing the soldiers think is worth protecting because it reminds them of the president that didn't fuck this entire thing up.

Biden promising to hunt down Taliban. How is he gonna do that exactly? Isn't he withdrawing? He going back in now?
Look here jack same thing. Sandpeople are sand people - Uncle Joe
Pretty much any action taken against the Taliban at this point is just going to look like petty revenge over getting their asses handed to them. Almost the entire world now accepts the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan and Americam interventionism isn't the most popular thing at the moment.
Remember when they gave Bush Jr shit for years because he stopped a ship to land on it and do a Mission Accomplished photo op, making the troops an hour or two late getting home? Or when they were literally caught setting up water stations in Katrina just long enough for a photo op, then tearing them down?
