Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

The US disaster started when President GW Bush decided to invade Afghanistan to avenge 911.

Every President since then is guilty of mismanaging this useless war.

Come again? 911 came to the USA via Afghanistan. Not sure what you're attempting to do here.

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

... have you never met a politician who did not change his opinion. Who cares what was said 10-12 years ago?

New information presents itself, situations change.

Funny!
Most of you liberals have proven that you love to dig up "dirt" that was said or done 10, 20, even 30 years ago in order to "get your way" or "keep someone out of the way".
Hansen88 is exactly right bringing up Kavanaugh, where liberals actually fabricated things he did or said 30 years prior. Where was your "i don't care attitude" then?
The multiple "black-face" episodes from years to decades prior that ended up getting people "cancelled" (except for liberals......they said ""sorry"", i didn't mean to). LOL!
What about Trump's "Grab 'em by the Pussy" line that happened 11 years prior to his election? By your words, we should all be saying "who cares about that...it was Eleven years ago", but we all know your buddy CopierAddict is still haunted by those words to this day! LOL.

... are you trying to rewrite history? The ex President made this infamous statement in Oct 2016 in the middle of the election cycle.

Afghanistan has some of the world's richest lithium mines necessary for electric car batteries. If managed correctly, the USA could eventually turn its relationship around to one of a trading partner, like Vietnam.

If not managed correctly, China and Russian are already seeking trade ties with the Taliban.

Here you go again with wanting to do business with some truly disgusting people.
Your track record is terrible. Cuba, China, The Terrorist organization know as the Taliban, who's next on your "dream business partners" wish-list?? Commie!
We will never do business with people who KILL WOMEN FOR NOT WEARING CERTAIN ATTIRE! Period.
You are very sick in the head if you think trading with these people is a morally good idea. SMH!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Are you completely brain-dead? The statement was made in 2005! They only tried to "use it against him" in 2016 as an "october surprise" before the election. Get your facts straight Jack!

In the footage, revealed by the Washington Post, Mr Trump is heard bragging to TV host Billy Bush about trying to have sex with a married woman. The clip, from 2005, was part of unaired footage ahead of Mr Trump's appearance on US soap opera Days of Our Lives.


Get out of your bubble there buddy! Eh?

... unlike how much of Western media portrays, the Taliban have many educated people who dream of self governance. The Taliban needs a functioning society. A functioning society needs good governance and trade.

The Taliban have managed to eradicate much of the terrorist al Qaeda from their country. It was al Qaeda who attacked the USA on 911 not the Taliban.

Money never sleeps and the USA wants to be a dominant player in the green energy future of the planet.

HAHAHAHAHA!!
Even the link YOU posted says “released in 2016....but was said in 2005”!
C’mon Man! Try again!

Trump said those words ELEVEN YEARS before he was elected!
So, by your own words, it happened a decade ago, so everyone should be saying “WHO CARES!”

... I forgot to mention that Afghanistan is very rich in rare earth metals. Something that global advanced manufacturing corporations need and desires.

Money never sleeps and has no memory.

Mineral extraction will likely never be performed by US corporations but US corporations will certainly purchase the product.

Afghanistan will likely remain a dangerous place for years to come something like North Korea.

Does that mean that you have no problem with folks that do business with Trump?

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

... I think this Seal team member's pay grade is a lot less than Gen Milley or President Biden's nor does he have access to all of the information that they have.

His pay grade has nothing to do with it. What is important is his tactical knowledge and understanding. Something that President Biden as 0 of and General Milley has been a been nothing more than a political assignee since before he got his first star.
