(19,529 posts)... fail in the final exit from Afghanistan.
In December the last month of trDUMP's 4 year term - he abd Pompeo set up a trap for Biden who was soon to be inaugurated.
1 ) Team trDump pulled 35,000 American troops out - leaving a skeleton crew of 2,500 remaining soldiers.
2.) Team trDUMP released 5,000 of the nastiest extremist Taliban from military lock ups. Did not include the new government of Afghanistan in the release decision. And by no surprise these 5,000 Muslim extremists over powered the newly trained Afghan military in less than one week.
3.) Much of the American military equipment was disabled or destroyed under orders of trDUMP. So the Afghan soldiers had no way to defend the country from the Taliban once trDump released them - (5K).
4.) With the American troop drawdown so rapidly to 2,500 soldiers - they could do nothing to help the Afghan army maintain stability against the Taliban take over. The small contingent of US troop trDUMP and Pompeo left could only maintain order at the main airport trying to get embassy officials and US citizen out of Afghanistan. It was a race against time to evacuate before the Taliban took over the airport too.
5.) To compound the situation on the ground dyring the exit from Afghanistan trDump and Pompeo refused to communicate the withdrawal plans made by trDUMP/Pompeo or fill them in about the situation of the ground during the administration transition phase -during the two and one half months between the election and Biden's inauguration.
trDUMP and Pompeo shafted Biden by intentionally leaving his administration in the blind so they could set Biden up for failure.
Then blame Biden because the Afghan draw down did not go smoothly. But 90% of the troop draw down logistics was planned and executed by Team trDUMP.
trDUMP now hated Biden because Biden won the 2020 election. trDUMP wanted Biden to fail and look very incompetent so trDUMP set up booby traps for Team Biden to get tangled up in. While trDUMP gloated and rejoiced at Biden's supposed ineptitude.
trDUMP is unequivocal and absolute human scum. Playing Fascist games with American national security and the wellbeing of our military soldiers. Just another act of treason by trDUMP with an utter lack of deference for American domestic or international stability.
