    Trump refused to share any existing plans until Biden took office. Guy couldnt hit the ground running, he had to play catchup because for the first time ever a Prez refused to hand the torch. With Covid killing more than troops in a war, that took priority, then all the other domestic shit he got left with, insurrectionists, and a few months for the withdrawal (which should have had a plan in place already)

      This might be the sweatiest attempt to blame Biden’s failings on Trump that I’ve seen yet, and I’ve seen a lot

      So your theory is that the government is not big enough to deal with other problems and make and execute a basic plan? I was never a general and I could tell you what to do very basically because its very obvious.

        Why aren’t terms for Presidents one year? I takes time. Time he was not afforded. His predecessor barred him from key details and plans. Its like dumping an outside party into a CEO position and expecting a company to right itself in one quarter, without providing them any details other than “here’s our files”. It’s not possible (except Musk but see how that played out). Government is big, with lots of people who oversaw it. And yeah, Trump could have had plans in place but he was too focused on “stolen votes” to care.

          Except he had plenty of time and it was not complicated to do something different. Do you understand all they had to do was have the withdrawal point from Bagram AFB, and tell the taliban to stop marching toward the capital and that would have solved all the problems? I feel like you dont even know what happened are just repeating a bullsh1t talking point.
