Trump Surrender To Taliban Made Clear Today!

My assessment based on my reading of Doha has been proven completely correct by the State Department and the Military today!

The Trump/ Pompeo surrendered to the Taliban, the release of 5000 Taliban fighters and leaders and the allotting of time for them time to secure the Afghan government and military, including the equipment left for the Afghan military has been further proven by the department of state and the military today!

The Biden administration was stuck with an agreement left by the former administration, with no planning or information presented to them by the former administration to the current administration, which left only one choice:

Restart the 20 year war, or leave!

Former administration reaction:

The former administrations defenders pushed backed against this story, seeking to give the former president credit for ending the war in Afghanistan while blaming the current administration for the exit they set in motion! If the former administration is going to blame the current administration for the disastrous exit, they might as well credit them with the win!

Trump gets credit for ending the war. I will give him that, and with that he takes on the proud ownership of the surrender to and release of the Taliban and the harsh aftermath! What happened at Doha set the rest of the events in motion, and because of how they were set in motion, they prevented anything short of a disaster!

If you block all the exits and set a hotel full of people on fire, you don't get to blame the screwed up exit on the firefighters!

Do we wait for perfect people?

Do we wait for perfect people? There are not now, nor have there ever been, perfect people, except one, and if you believe that story, we crucified him! Is perfection attainable? Human history and daily practice say no. Should we let that stand in the way of progress? A historian I trust said that one of our founders was a horrible man. I have no argument against that theory. The question then: “Is the product of his intellect invalid?" If the product of the minds of our founders is deemed incorrect and inoperable because they were severely flawed men, we also have no right to take on the trials of our own day! We are as flawed as they, in ways we can not yet grasp! Do we wait for perfect documents? Our founders were flawed, as we have noted. We live and work in a system they created. Is that system inherently wrong as a result? Shall we wait for perfect people to produce perfect governing documents? If so, we would not to this day have attended the greatest evil of their t...

Trump Major Failures!

Ending TPP Ending JCPOA Ending NAFTA Ending Affiliation with WTO TPP The Trans-Pacific Partnership, which Trump obviously did not understand was the biggest boon to China in this century! Under the agreement, we would have an economic and democracy-boosting agreement with the Pacific Rim nations that would have rivaled China and provided security and economic and military leverage against them! JCPOA The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action was intended to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons and improve regional and global security. Iran accepted restrictions on its nuclear program and underwent regular inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency. Our removal from the program resulted in our blindness to the Iranian nuclear progress, which is now just short of weapons production! NAFTA The North American Free Trade Agreement was ended by the Trump administration and the new agreement brokered by them led to higher U...

Grievances against the King of England and Donald Trump

Grievances against the King of England and Donald Trump The list of grievances against the King of England, as it appears in the Declaration of Independence: “The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at place...
