What does everyone propose to deal with Afghanistan?
I have a rather controversial opinion on this topic but I will go ahead and share it with you as food for thought.The deadline for the removal of the US troops still in Afghanistan, estimated at about 2,5000, is approaching. This deadline was set under the administration of Mr. Donald Trump. It is part of an agreement with the Taliban. As far as I can determine, the Afghanistan government in Kabul was not a signatory.
It's difficult for common citizens like me to form an opinion of what the US, under a new administration, should do. There are, it's rumored, secret clauses to the agreement. If there are, the new Administration will be privy to them. They may be the deciding factor on the path the US chooses, going forward.
President of the United States of America Joseph Biden's plate is certainly full. This poor old country mouse hopes that he has chosen his advisors on some basis other than personal loyalty.
Regards, stay safe 'n well. Remember the prophylactic Big 3: masks, hand washing and physical distancing.

IMO the mistake was made back in the 90s under Bush Sr. Part of the terms of the surrender should of been to allow us to build a base like the size we have in Germany, right at the mouth of the Persian gulf. We should of closed our base in Germany and transferred those resources into the middle east. That would of stabilized that region.
All these operations and nation building projects since then have been a massive waste of time and money.
I can't speak for everyone - but I propose to withdraw under whatever "agreement" was already made with the Taliban for our safe withdrawal. Needless to say, we'll also have to stress, in no uncertain terms, that if any other terrorist activities in the US, or our European allies, are ever traced back to Afghanistan origins, that we'll come back with another posse - read "coalition of the willing" - and retake Kabul, turn the table over again, and then leave them to clean up the mess - again. In a sentence,What does everyone propose to deal with Afghanistan?
I thought the Messiah Trump and his God Putin fixed everything. Gee what happened?The deadline for the removal of the US troops still in Afghanistan, estimated at about 2,5000, is approaching.

It must be Pelosi's fault.
