My ability to believe that there is anything worth saving is nearly exhausted. Today there are Thirteen families getting the worse news that anyone can ever get.
Joe Biden is being pummeled for executing on a deal that was flawed from its inception. In February of 2020 when the Orange Turd and Mike Pompeo brought this hairbrained deal to the table why was no one screaming then. The Orange Turd ghost wrote a book on what a great negotiator he was. We knew it was a lie then and we certainly know it now.
Here’s the thing, I’ve never been in the foreign service however I understand the art of negotiation. Trump agreed to release 5000 prisoners in exchange for the Taliban agreeing to not go after American service personal. He allowed those 5000 prisoners to go free before our people could leave Afghanistan. He refused to hold transition meetings with Biden so that the incoming team would be fully briefed. He made no provision for the removal of American contractors and Afghans who had assisted US forces. In essences he passed a hand grenade with its pin missing to President Biden.
Biden got a crap hand and instead of doing some clean up prior to the evacuation of US assets he played the hand he was dealt. No doubt it was poor judgment, however let us not forget who originated this shyt show.
More than anything what troubles me now is the way the entire mess is being politicized. I don’t think that Americans fully understand the gravity of the situation. By agreeing to return 5000 prisoners prior to the evacuation Trump took away our most valuable bargaining chip. That will have cascading impact. We now look weak and divided. We are coming up on the 20th Anniversary of 9/11. We’ve had almost 20 years of retrieve from international terrorism on US soil. It pains me to say that we may have opened the door 🚪 for a new era of foreign terrorism.
We are seen as weak and vulnerable now. The political upheaval that we are facing makes us a perfect target. Even now our own citizens are working to destroy every Democratic principle that we pride ourselves on. We want to criticize the Taliban and others of trying to turn back the clock on women and human tights while we are doing the same thing here in America based on melanation.
I couldn’t sleep last night. I kept thinking about the notification visits those Thirteen families would get today. I kept thinking about how screwed up our country is. I hate what politics have led us to. I fear for the future of mine and yours grandchildren.
Think!!
