Trump victory, and if the Taliban fucks up Trump will hit hard, they all know it. Trump is peacemaking president. WWG1WGA Qanon

larryjblackford I just came here to read the catastrophizing tweets by the same ppl who praised Obama's Iran Deal, which it turns out many know nothing about. Ami Horowitz: Do liberals even know what's in the Iran deal? via YouTube

How POTUS doesn’t have a Nobel peace prize already is absolutely disgusting.

I think the taliban should have there voice heard Like similar To Hezbi islamic party of Islam republic of Afghanistan Just Like Jamiat and let the nation elect who the nation chose✌🇦🇫❤

Which one's the terrorist sympathiser?

cchukudebelu Amazing time to be alive. 'we don't negotiate with terrorist'. C'est faux

Crikey curious_twitt

R3DF0X0N3 Whut

Hmmmmm

We signed the “historic peace deal” with Taliban. Shouldn’t we be pulling troops out of the sovereign nation of Taliban instead?

HayceeAlves Imagine it was Obama that signed this peace deal...SM and Americans would be hauling insults at him for negotiating with Terrorists.. But hey, it's Trump, they see it as a move in the right direction.. Racists🤡

BonginoReport Thank God in Heaven...my grandchildren will get their father back after 8 deployments!

Grab your puke bags

BonginoReport Thank you realDonaldTrump.

I think it’s great our troops are coming home but I don’t think it will last, terrorizing people and killing is what they are trained to do.

They goanna share the oil then aye?~

georgiapeach904 Until the next time when you send our son's & daughter's to the slaughter!!! Those KIA or suicide as veterans will be squirming in their graves!!

Why would you ever sit at a table with the scum. Eradicate them, wipe them from the living realm.

MAGA make Afghanistan great again

The US surrendered

The US negotiated with terrorists. MailOnline Conservatives our soldiers died because? But Mr Corbyn talked sense with IRA when maggie-in-the-mud was negotiating behind the scenes, and it's jeremycorbyn who can't be trusted. Tories and the msm are so corrupt

SHO_Homeland Wait? What? How the f**k did you know about this before this happened?

The terrorist supporting shitheads! 😏

Mhm. And a condition is to release 5000 taliban terrorists isn't it. Remember when the republicans freaked out and went ballistic when President Obama released 5 to bring beghdal the traitor beghdal home. They support this deal of course. Typical racist hypocrisy again.

Just signed Afghanistan's existence away. Like Chamberlain did with Hitler-good bye Czechoslovakia-Peace in our time. Afghani leadership need to be on plane departing the runway Kabul, & women/girls need to be evacuated.

opium production surged from around 180 tonnes in 2001 to more than 3,000 tonnes a year after the invasion, and to more than 8,000 by 2007. $400% increase How the heroin trade explains the US-UK war in Afghanistan ($3T to $5T pa) Opioid Crisis wonder why?

Start a war, kill millions then surrender. Team America eh

if RWing do it, it's fine, if it's Lwing its realting to terroism

USA landed on the moon but got sodomized by Pastun

Finally we can leave.

bianca_nobilo Any Leaders should responsible for their decision. Since the time goes by, each scar should compromise by negotiated settlement. I hope it can get positive and Afghanistan people will start to develop their future. It is up to people if Afghanistan wants to work with the Taliban.

Praise for all the efforts put in my PM of Pakistan Imran Khan ImranKhanPTI

The next president of US will withdraw from this deal😂😂 taliban celebrate till then😝😝😝

On a leap day

What happened to we don't negotiate with terrorist? Shows the Fallacy of 🇺🇸 designating anyone a terrorist and the value of resistance to occupation. 🇺🇸 Lost this war as it could not win against the taliban and this is face safing exercise while they still have leverage.

Nice to finally see a US President who isn't a war-monger. Bring our brave troops home!

Nigerians will come talking about the US not negotiating with Terrorists yenyenyen Liars and deceitful scaliwags

almostjingo TooMuchWinning

Is this not just a ploy so that they can regroup and reorganize?

omo_allhaja

who created Taliban is it trump or the puppets.

Always

Is that a terrible mistake? Is this will guarantee the strengthening of al-Qaeda?

Afganistan was always biggest harbor of terrorism and housed Taliban armies sense before 9/11 and bin laden. America should let them deal with the bed they laid. No deals for back stabbing terrorists who will never have Peace that's why their called terrorists in the 1st place

Guess they do negotiate with terrorists after all...

URSS-Taliban 1-0 USA-Taliban 1-0. Next big match? China-Taliban. Talibans are the favorite :)

samtripoli oh man trump surrendered what a waste of human lives

So, initially America supplied weapons to Taliban, now they signed an agreement. Taliban is your baby guys and Taliban terrorists were grown coz of your efforts

This is a big lose to USA. After they invade Afghanistan and killed hundreds of thousands from both side, the reason was to bring democracy and freedom to that country. The funny thing is the give it back to the same people who they fight in the first. another lose

Us motto : we do not negotiate with terrorists

Am curious to see if heroine is drying up after that...in Europe and the USA.

The real problem is in Pakistan, this is just grandstanding.

What a complete waste of brave young men and women who gave their all. Lets see how this new Afghanistan copes.

Move the troops out and Nuke them

So finally Huchi Man Won the War 👏 👏 👏 Another Vietnam for America Taliban TalibanPeaceDeal

This is an historic signing. Amazing. 🥳

This deal is not worth the paper it was signed on.

In 14 months lots of thing can change. USA can withdraw itself from the agreement.

So just in time for trumps re-election?

If US troop cleaned the mess at Afghanistan then they should also visit Pakistan. It’s much needed

The Taliban will always be terrorist group

I don’t understand one thing. How come US ended up landing at Afghanistan?

No change there then..........🙄🙄

No doubt that if Barack Obama signed this agreement with the Taliban, Republicans would scream that he “waved the white flag of surrender to terrorists.” But since Donald Trump did it, Republicans will act like he just blew the swastika off of the Reichstag in Berlin.

Perhaps, but i dont think the talibans would like to see a US withdrawal, if there is agreements with talibans and US. US forces should stay in Afghanistan and keep their deployments, to help talibans against leftism Order

Another lost war by US just like Vietnam.

Wonder where they are planning on sending them next.

This means that this deal should be done all over the world, the soldiers of America go away from every country, peace will be established by itself.

gazzarowney You started the new series of Homeland yet?

“We do not negotiate with terrorists”

I just worry for the women and girls of Afghanistan 🇦🇫 with the Taliban being back in power. The whole thing seems pointless. Remember not long ago in the 70’s the women of Afghanistan were schooled and wore westernised clothing bikinis and minis with behave hair dos.

endtimes jesus

Great! Bin Laden and his 72 Virgins should be ECSTATIC by this news. 😏 Taliban

14 months to drain all resources left before leaving*

So much for never negotiating with terrorists

Great work again by POTUS but you won't even say that. I hope it works out well for all Afghanistan God bless realDonaldTrump

BonginoReport We lose no matter what we do over there (and Trump can't win at all, thanks to our 'unbiased' media), so if we bring our troops home and many or all of them do not die because of it, that's a win to me. Sometimes you need to know when to cut your losses.

Taliban won

Not a chance !!! As an ex- British servicemen that is the new Northern Ireland ...

BonginoReport Why do you hate Trump so much?

All the British and coalition troops who died in the war for what? To hand back control to the terrorist . What a waste

soldiers died for nothing then? this couldve happened before any war even broke out. Now theyve negotiated with terrorists and shat on the momory of brave soldiers that gave their lives. Politicians stink.

Taliban ❤️❤️🇦🇫🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰 never mess with the taliban they know how to kick ass proud moment for Afghanistan and the whole world

SecPompeo Ohhhh I bet they’re soooo scared after u had 20 years to complete your mission and failed it so had to talk to them instead.

Someone is watching Homeland

The USA sign surrender agreement.

JamesAithie Scenes in Kabul

nebel prize now for realDonaldTrump

SecPompeo LOL so he's just gonna believe the Taliban?

SecPompeo Thank you realDonaldTrump 👏🏻🙌🏻❤️

SecPompeo After 20 years of fighting the Taliban the USA signs a treaty to hand over control of Afghanistan to...The Taliban. Winning etc.

Taliban, so 2002

SecPompeo Peace Deal is for ?

They he after the oil now

America finished all her wars with peace deals, rarely won a war and they still starting new wars!!!

The left are now very busy this weekend frantically working on which ways they can put a negative spin on it. Contenders are:- Colluding with the Taliban Russians must be involved Trump's been promised hotel chain there. Taliban promised to pay for wall .....yada yada

SecPompeo Wow, a promise.

Another loss of a long wasted war for the United States. Victory for the Taliban.

Pakistan is the new home for terrorists!!!

BonginoReport Holy fucking shit

Who’s next in the spin dryer. British 19th century kicked out. Russians 20 century kicked out US led coalition 21st century kicked out. Possibly China next. No matter what the intent or the state of the country, as soon as outsiders get involved, a common enemy mentality starts

I wonder if realDonaldTrump will get any credit, or whether people will keep hammering him?

ahh i remember the day when the US didn't negotiate with terrorists

There can never be peace in Afghanistan. One power moves out other power comes in. Peace is all but written on papers. There always be inferences within Talibans and from outside.

Have they told the Brits? God help Afghanistan. Back to medieval times!

But orange man bad!!!

Will our Heroin prices be reduced?

Probably got a drone circling around outside waiting for him to finish ....

Let's see how long will it last?

So after 20 odd years the only thing that’s changed are the faces The Taliban are still there Al Qaeda are still there Joined now by isis

does this mean the west will arm the Taliban to the teeth again?

All those lives lost for what ?

No. Afghanistan won. They would win again. Deal with it.

Right-wing extremists killed 330 in the US in last decade, figures show76 per cent of all domestic extremist-related murders were committed by right-wing extremists, including white supremacists Yeah right...Funny how they count muslims like the pulse nightclub shooter in that number. I wonder how many were killed by MS13? southern poverty law center and their intelligence report keeps track of the haters. That’s an inconvenient fact if you believe Muslims and Terrorists are the biggest threat to American people and the USA. Very inconvenient. Must be fake news. I’ll look the other way under my MAGA hat....like a dope.
