Big bills? 20 years of the United States lying to the American people.

Shame on every American Soldier who lost their life in Afghanistan 🇦🇫 😕 AfghanistanBurning

Their military handed over all our equipment to the Taliban while the populace rolled over showed their belly and pissed themselves. Heartbreaking. But Biden did the right. There is no reason for american soldiers to stay and be at risk. Afghan people need to fight for their country.

Curious - Shocking. That kind of thing has never happened before, has it? Not the first time the Taliban has tricked the US into training, arming, and funding their operations. It’s a long con. And the US fell for it hook, line, and sinker.
