Pulling out wasn't the issue. It was pulling the military without removing civilians and equipment first.
Trump removed all the troops except for 2500 before he left office. Shouldn't he have evacuated civilians & equipment simultaneously?
Trump set a deadline of May 1st to evacuate American troops. Biden extended it to the end of August. Trump also negotiated the release of 5000 militant Taliban fighters, including the individual who has become the de facto president of Aghanistan. Trump didn't receive much in return.
There's no question that the Taliban would have filled the vacuum left by American and other troops who'd leave. This would have occurred under Biden, Trump, Obama or Bush. Now, the Taliban staged a blitzkrieg insurgency, surprising many by their speed. And, the Afghani government, including the self-exiled president and the commanders capitulated without a fight. They surrendered their weapons to the Taliban! They were rolled up as smoothly and rapidly as the French were when the Nazis smashed through France during WWII. If they couldn't muster the will to fight for their own rights and land, how can you expect America to hold their hand any longer? After twenty years and they're back to square one.
My heart goes out to anyone, especially the women, who will be subjected to the "tender mercies" of Sharia law. It is no surpise that so many Afghanis wish to leave and are panicking. The Biden administation is welcoming those Afghanis and their families who helped us, but the interesting thing is that a lot of Trumplicans are against allowing them shelter in their states, but at the same time decrying Biden for his "neglecting" Americans and their Afghani assistants who are still there. That's disingenuous. Biden will ensure that all of them are evacuated.
Biden and many Americans wanted out of this war, costly in terms of lives lost and trillions of dollars.
One huge problem was that the androcentric Afghani government never consulted or armed their women. Unlike the men, women have the most to lose under Sharia law. I doubt that they would have capitulated as rapidly as the men or surrendered their weapons.
Unless you expect America to stay in Afghanistan forever, this would have been a given. Can America evacuate all of the oppressed women or control the Taliban? Anyone who thinks so is delusional.
Less than a month ago, more troops were sent!! Many of us know soldiers who recently left. This was in the works a long time ago. People on social media think they know all the details. This world is full of idiots.
Hunter biden did a better job pulling out of a prostitute than OSAMA obiden did pulling out of Afghanistan
@@jacqdanieles Trump said all the American civilians and equipment had to be out before the military left. He could have left a thousand US infantry there and the tailban at that point weren't going to make a move. And they didn't then.

Innocent?
Yeah the innocent in chicago and New York should never be forgotten
What do you mean? They died for oil. People say the USA lost that war, give me a break. The USA was there to take their oil, and when they got it all, they pulled out. Here's an analogy: If you're a lumberjack, do you go around and kill all the bee's nests before cutting down the tree? no, you only deal with the immediate bee's that are annoying you. Once you chopped down all the tree's you move on. If the USA wanted to, they could obliterate Afghanastan and the taliban in a week.

I would’ve guessed it
The Taliban ran Afghanistan 1996-2001 , they were never recognized as a state. They were pushed out in 2001, maintained an insurgency for 20 years and takes back power in August 15th 2021.

So this broadcast intends to blame Trump, not incompetent Biden on all blunders, no plans… lol.

The Book of Truth
No such thing. The "Afghan" government is literally a bunch of mercenaries from neighboring Tajikistan who have been subjugating the indigenous pashtun (taliban) tribes for sweet American money. Look it up, the whole army only cared about the paycheck.
And the people
You mean the same government that handed themselves over to the Taliban within how many days? It seems like the intention the whole time was for the Taliban to gain control so all those weapons given to the Afghan government were probably meant for the Taliban but they couldnt just give it to the Taliban directly because of optics. Its a conspiracy theory but I would not be surprised if this was the case.
The most powerful nation cannot handle a nation with “less sophistication” so many lies it’s overwhelming to watch anymore.

Afghanistan is notoriously difficult to keep control of due to its terrible geography
We always point the finger at others without examining ourselves. We as humans simply can not deal with great power without control. We shall abuse it. People rant about politicians who are enslaved by money, but if you offer those same persons 1 million Dollar, those persons would also follow orders. It is all about weakness and control. It is of great importance that we, from a young age, will be educuated on who we really are and how easily we fall into weakness.
Exactly. It’s about instilling certain things, values, and certain abilities in our society, especially at an earlier age, so we can become a much more, intelligent, self aware, and strong society/culture of people.

When God introduced the Laws in the bible it was to show humanity their "fallen, corrupted nature" and how the dynamics of receiving eternal life had changed as a result! Unfortunately up till this day, some people believe they are without sin and have no need for a Savior etc even when evidence stares them in the face.

Is giving them all high-tech military equipments also part of there deal ?
Yes. This deal was made to please the US military industrial complex, and they already sold those weapons and equipment, now they want to sell new stuff, so old stuff has to go.
Where is the proof of this claim?
I keep hearing the whole "We dun left eekwipment!! Eetz all Bider's fawwlt!", but... no one seems to understand what the hell they're talking about.

Perhaps they should have been able to hold the fort for a while, but for how long were we going to equip them and pay their salaries? ..the drug lords and the Taliban are the only others source of wealth.
Because the Afghan govt and generals were corrupt and weak.
@Alenas Kvasninas you know the Taliban were in control when we invaded and we're still cleaning up a civil war we didn't fuck it up it's been fucked up people keep trying to find a scape goat to blame all the problems ever first it's "it's get out of Afghanistan it's and unjust war" ok we left we even did it later than we were suppose to now it's our fault that we left?

if america is negotiating with taliban then usa must have directed afghan authorities to not fight aur be passive and defensive, as you here that afghan government was also excluded from the talks, and mostly those advance aircrafts and weaponary that usa left behind was operated by professional us contractors ( retired commandos fighting on contract), and afghans were foot soldiers
@Kinguin The US isn't Afghanistans mommy. They can make their own decisions. They chose the taliban, thats what it is.

It's less proof the US abandoned Afghanistan than it is that wasting time trying to change a culture is big suprise a waste of time.

Biden made the final choice and stuffed the evacuation big time.
how? you realise literally all the intel told him afghanistan wouldn’t fall within 9 months. Why would he be evacuating afghanis a few weeks after pulling out when their military was still fighting the taliban. especially when the people shitting on him now, would probably fight against bringing them to america a few weeks ago

US soldiers in Afghanistan had less casualties then police do in the US. The ANA on the other hand had 7000 casualties in 2019, that's more than the US had lost in the entire war. We were barely fighting. We were literally just sitting in our bases to keep the Taliban out of Khabul. Leaving was cowardly, dishonorable, and cruel to the Afghan people, not to mention that we'll probably be dragged into conflict there in the future when the Taliban starts assisting terrorist groups like Al Qaeda again.
They didn't expect that Afghanistan army surrendered quickly.
poor judgement
Because Biden pulled all of their support. 100 Afgan army bases where only accessible by air. Biden pulled out all air support and refused to allow America contractors to fly to Afghanistan to service their equipment and show them how to properly use it. Effectively trapping thousands in those bases with no support and they were forced to surrender. Trump had a 4 year plan to slowly remove troops and keep a small presence to keep the air units serviced and running. Biden Effectively killed everyone who has been murdered so far.
Yes,I confirm.

Corruption and no will to fight. Afghanistan isn’t like many western nations with national pride and stuff, the country is mostly just a bunch of isolated Tribes, and the people care way more about their local community than a country. There’s also the corruption, where a lot of the soldiers were only ghost soldiers, soldiers that don’t exist and the generals collect the paycheck, like in south Vietnam.
2/3 Of the Afghan army were ghost soldiers.
The Taliban will strap themselves (or anyone) with bombs and willingly kill themselves to eradicate their enemies. They're on a whole different level. You fight against them and they could track you and your family down.
You know how many men lost their lives getting those men that we're released? this is beyond a slap in the face of our forces.

Yeah and Trump said the Taliban wanted to stop fighting. This is a group who follow ancient regimes and doctrines. They won't stop fighting. You just gave them a helping hand to rebuild and now brain dead republicans are blaming Biden for the state of Afghanistan.
I’m talking about what has been done not the future. You’re right they have been fighting a very long time and if you’ve been to the Middle East in a fighting capacity (which I have, OIF V) you would know that government means nothing to the guys kicking in door in the night. What would you have me say “yes I would send my child there” so I can be labeled a “bad parent” or “I would never send MY CHILD” and be labeled a hypocrite? it’s all just words to the ones making these choices but for the ones carrying them out....The mission sounds the same from both sides. And it sucks that we have lost MANY brothers and sisters retrieving said “bad guys” just to give em all back. I don’t care about THEIR history, I care about MY fellow service members and their sacrifices. Its not a partisan problem for the guys/gals in green; whether you agree or not, you took an oath.
Hey remember when we had a president who was fully conscious and aware…
We traded egotistical for early stage dementia. I think we got a bad trade…
I'm not sure if many US presidents fall into that first category.
Spring fighting season….what about the summer season?
It’s so far the best analysis of the issue.
Until Biden came and capitulated it was looking like an Afghanistan without USA and an Afghanistan with peace, under massive military threats made in the Doha deal.
It's the blame game.
Praying or Karma doesn't save innocent women and children's lives.
President Biden has given us a fine example of to the parable - I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep.
Where'd you hear that?

You can’t blame Biden for the pullout when it was started by Trump
@@0IIIIII "You can’t blame Biden for the pullout when it was started by Trump" Trumps idea was to end the problem with middle east, but the process was F ed by president Biden. This is literally not the problem with who started it, but how it is going. BTW biden is president for more than half years yet he literally did nothing with middle east. Yet people still blame a person that is not in charge anymore and for quite some time now.
@@doroza2lol you think trump would have done this better? ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahaha
Good reporting!
Where is this going?
Allow? LOL. They literally gave it away with a handshake.
Also equipped them with top tech weapons and vehicles as well, unreal
Blame the Afghanistan military, cowards they are
The Afghan army was equipped with the best weapons, not the taliban. However, they were so dysfunctional and corrupt that members would go unpaid for months, their superiors would steal it, etc. See some documentaries about it. The Afghan army could never hold the Taliban, and the generals gave bad info to Pres Biden which caused this botched withdrawal. In 20 years, nothing was changed, those generals sucked up 2 trillion dollars and show nothing for it. The Taliban offered $200 to soldiers to handover their weapons and its how they took over so fast in some places.
@@ilasilas3261 Absolutely.
Yes,I confirm.
Watching this guy trying to resist the temptation to blame everything on Trump was like watching an alcoholic staring at a bottle of vodka.

Lmao that traitor Trump let 1000s of terrorists that marry little girls out of jail.
Trump was such a fuckin loser my god. He literally helped the taliban. Truly a traitor.
Why is nobody blaming George W Bush? He’s the one that brought US into Afghanistan 🤷♂️

@@jeffryan7262 but they had a good reason, didnt they? I'm not an American, but I have some history knowledge, didn't the us military enter afghan to kill the minds behinds 9/11? at least for me that seems
reasonable
I don't understand any of this can someone explain everything please
Because the Afghan Army, Air Force, and government who we’re more than capable of dealing with the Taliban with our help, funding, and training over the last 20 years RAN A WAY. next question.
They ran away to avoid further bloodshed. They didn't have a choice. either fight to a guaranteed loss without any foreign support, risking every civilian's life in the process or evacuate and seek refuge.
Nop, the real reason is majority Afghans support Taliban they want Taliban as thier government .
That's not true, the puppet leaders the US installed to benefit themselves ran away. Plenty of Afghan troops dug in to fight. It was the leaders who surrendered.
@@h.mshakilahmed8294 In a region under talibans control, we can't know how many don't support them because by rebelling, they risk losing their lives.
@@boomborgoyari5781 exactly. To add insult to injury, the Afghan army hadnt been paid in over 6 months. The coward took the money and fled leaving the army and civilians to fend for themselves

@@mozarth I am a Muslim and Talibans are us

Somehow I don't think they could do any thing about it. No leverage at the negotiations, cos they were taking big losses on the battle field.
So they want to blame the deal that was set up last year they had 7 months to review the withdrawal this is a complete failure . But let’s keep pointing fingers and let people suffer. Keep it going bbc

But he ended a long and costly war. He will leave lemonades and stands to your capable hands.😉
This was so perfectly botched by the US that you have to question if there is an alternative objective being pursed.
The Afghan variant?
Nope, we elected a geriatric moron who wasn't even all there on his best days to office. What did people expect a career senator who's only job his whole life was to win campaigns and vote "yes or no" on issues to be good at running the entire US government? It's amazing lmao

Because the Taliban is not an authorized organization by the international community
Because they are like every other citizen follow law and other
Hahhahs

Guess Americans will not use the phrase "we don't negotiate with terrorist" in movies or real life anymore.
America beated by tailiban thats truth
WHY did the Afghans not fight for their own country? It's obvious they support the Taliban, a majority of them anyway.
They were over powered, especially since the U.S. were leaving. The U..S was there for 20 years to successfully leave it could have taken maybe 10 years. I don’t believe the U.S. government did not know how powerful the Taliban was, they have people in positions that monitor extremists/terrorist groups.
@@deestefmorr If the U.S. wanted we could have just killed them all, over and over again. That was obviously never the mission, it was to occupy that nation so we could use it as a proxy to start war with Iran. They share a large border. We never cared about the people, and most of the people didn't hate the Taliban.
It was apparently about choosing lesser of two evils. The new government was corrupt from the very beginning. They ignored Afghans’ plea for extreme security and ate up the money of the army. Meanwhile, US teamed up with brutal war lords. That’s the formula for the rise of far right. Before the invasion, talibans were already done with each other. They even wanted to turn themselves in. The new ones insist that they are more mature than ever. That’s Machiavellianism, but even here people are falling for it.
When they catch you, they kill your family in front of you(think gas and a match or beheaded with a kitchen knife) before they torture and kill you.
Many know they can't get out so the pretend to be on Taliban's side. Watch interviews of people in the country. Also they are largely on heroin. (Afghan military) not to me tion they were deserted by their own president.

If you read the terms and agreements (as described by Ros Atkins in this show) there is nothing left to doubt that America do not give a damn about the region or any other country, just themselves. World Leader my Ass!
Umm....whats is the problem for a country to mind his own business?
Is US have the responsibility to be world leader?
Good the world doesn't need an overlord
U.S. has done way more good in the world than harm. Maybe u should delve deeper into history lessons than just making careless statements. Also it seems the Afghan gov didnt even care about its OWN PEOPLE. Their Pres didnt pay their troops for the last 7 months and then fled like a coward, with so many bags of cash he couldnt even carry it all!

I find it interesting that British media fails to mention that NATO, including Britain, left Afghanistan SEVEN YEARS AGO. And now they want a say in how/where/when American soldiers/lives are deployed.
This just fucked up how does this deal help it just create more problems
Now its just seems like a badly fixed cricket match
( I can't think of a recent deal which has excluded the government from negotiations.) The Paris Peace Accords 1973? Vietnam rings the bell?
BBC: Please do an episode on the departure extension from May 1 to August 31.
How did it come about?

BBC: erm.... NO WE WILL NOT
The Art of the Deal is apparently giving the other side everything they want in return for them not hurting you anymore lol
Was the plan to remove military forces before Americans and its allies including leaving billions of weapons behind.
This is like doing a deal with the devil. Not a confidence building measure
Yeah the west is so evil we’ll rather do deals with the devil himself his more trust worthy 😉😉 tehehe
The main issue is corruption. They did have everything they need to fight the Taliban, but the rank and file soldiers were not being compensated for their efforts by corruption compared the though of keeping their life by surrendering. Same goes with solider promotions which were usually by family ties instead of merit. Have they fixed they everything would be changed and no withdraw needed.
What's the point in having and army in Afghanistan and retreat the moment the enemy advances?
They didn’t allow it, the war in Afghanistan was lost the second we occupied the country…
