So it seems America was damned if it did and damned if it didn’t. They say people get the leaders they deserve. If that’s true, I wonder what it says about America.

No just seeking clarification as to why some think Biden has been more disastrous than Trump.I think it's a perfectly valid question.

IMHO whilst Trump instigated this shambles, Biden didn't have to stick to the roadmap. His arguments regarding maintaining forces in 'forever wars' hold no sway as there is still a US military presence in both Germany & Korea decades after their respective conflicts ended.

It only matters if people are making an argument Trump would have done it better. Then it's justified to point out it was his deal and his timetable was even more aggressive.

But in terms of evaluating what actually happened then invoking Trump isn't a defence.

Neither of which are at war with the US though, so it's not a 'forever war' as such.

For Germany it's part of the NATO pact I thought, and for South Korea an agreed defence pact and payments South Korea make towards the US military there.

Neither were the US at war with the Taliban, combat operations ended 2,3,4 years ago ?

I read somewhere that he Taliban agreement under Trump was follow it or we'll bomb you to hell. Biden probably said 'Oh Squirrel'....

That's a more nuanced and great question.

I think the answer you'll find is that there are people on this forum and elsewhere who believe that Trump was a better leader than Biden and hence would have handled it better. I've even seen one poster who believes that the Democrats always make a hash of things.

Actual US combat operations ended back in 2015, under Obama. Special Forces may have had a few missions, but other than that, no direct military action took place under Trump.


Not offering an opinion is a lot better than somebody who bases "their"(ie told by somebody else) opinions on falsehoods and bias.

Nope, it was a question to someone's comment. Do you think that the past twenty years air & ground offensive in Afghanistan has resulted in anything of note?

Apart from the Taliban gaining access to large amounts of US/NATO military hardware of course

And decent people have the opportunity to build a live for themselves and their family and contribute to society.

The point my friend is thus, we should not hold views that prejudice people from another country or religion due to the actions of a few.

Obviously not, that's why I said when we and the USA went in at first we should have bombed the hell out of the Taliban, but we all know what's happened now, back in the hands of terrorists.

Unfortunately, with asymmetric warfare (where the insurgents are indistinguishable from the general populace, because they live amongst them), "bombing the hell out of the Taliban’ would have involved bombing the hell out of innocent civilians, which sort of defeats the purpose of being there to protect the general populace from the Taliban.

The aim was to remove Isis, not remove the Taliban at least that was my take at the time of 9/11 . So it remains to be seen if it worked. Hate to say this but a lot of people made a lot of money out of it :( my family included:

"We fixed that error and tweeted from both accounts, speaking out about Hong Kong authorities’ disqualification of pro-democracy district councilors,” the spokesperson said, adding that suggestions that what it called an “administrative change” was caused by political concerns are “patently untrue.”

To be fair, Joe Biden doesn't - other people just point out to those who mock him when he stumbles over some words, that he has had a stutter all of his life.

Are you saying that he should not have run for public office because he stutters?

I think it's a bit unreasonable to expect US presidents not to speak, pleasant as that would be. :)

Things like not being able to remember your own family and what they did or didn't do, has nothing to do with any stutter.

Maybe he wants to forget members of his family.

People need to understand how truly debilitating a stutter can be.

There was a program "Educating Yorkshire" I believe. A young lad's stutter was so bad he really struggled to speak, a teacher worked with him and used tricks from the film "The King's Speech" and played music over headphones.

Well some 10 years later the lad is a public speaker about stuttering.

I'm talking about getting things completely wrong, not missing out words or mixing up similar words.

We had four years of one guy being called racist from the Democrats and their solution was to put in a mentally declining racist with a near 50 (120 years if you listen to old 10%) year record of racism only in America. Joe Biden is a corrupt pile and has been for the last 20 years his election to president manages to be an even lower point for America then his predecessor who'd have thought that possible. He is a complete disaster his covid and infrastructure Bill's were more rewards and bail outs for badly run Democrat cities politician's then they were what they were meant to be hes heaping piles of debt onto coming generations.

As much as I believe that Biden is no longer in control of his faculties and is not running the country but being worked from behind like a life size Lord Charles.

I wouldn't take any rumour on twitter as "news".

That said, however, everybody was happy to take any rumour about his predecessor on face value......so sauce for the goose and all that.

Looks like nap 26 is going well

Joe Biden was filmed closing his eyes for long periods of time. Washington Post journalist Zach Pursur Brown recorded the President "falling asleep".

In this case, sat maskless next to a 95 year old. :shocked:

In fairness to Johnson, he doesn't know he's sat next to a 95-year-old as he's in the land of nod.

I do actually have a bit of sympathy for him nodding off - these conferences are quite draining and his household is probably not the most relaxing environment for him at the moment. But he's just being a bit political on the mask-wearing which is disappointing, albeit not unexpected.

I see - one of the main speakers (Sir David Attenborough) should shield himself because Boris (who wore a mask in the HoC during the Budget Speech) can't be arsed to wear a mask.

Selfish idiot springs to mind...

As to mask wearing or no mask wearing when it suits, practically all politicians are guilty of it.

Once again, you miss the point - why wouldn't people reduce the chances of them infecting others?

The older someone is, the more at risk they are - think of others, not just oneself.

I also hate it when I'm not allowed to eat nuts on a plane because someone has a nut allergy. In that case, they can sit in a plastic bubble or take the train.
