Of course it's true. What specific policy? The policy of striking deals with the Taliban while excluding the Afghan government and military, each of which the USA had spent many lives and many dollars instituting and training. That sent the message to Afghan citizens and, more importantly, to their tribal leaders that they'd better align themselves with the Taliban because the USA would not have their backs otherwise. It meant that American withdrawal would be immediately followed by a Taliban takeover. Biden's withdrawal went amazingly well, considering that trump had stacked the deck against us. A withdrawal, by the way, that trump arranged but was too cowardly to conduct himself.
seems like some pretty heavy speculation about a chaotic situation. even biden said he thought the afghan forces would hold. if it was clear that it "It meant that American withdrawal would be immediately followed by a Taliban takeover", as you say, then how did biden not know what you knew? are you a foreign policy expert such that you can predict things biden cannot?
even biden himself claims he failed to anticipate that the withdrawal would result immediate collapse. so i dunno if it went amazingly well. and surely if trump had mismanaged it, then biden is also to blame, as he had plenty of time to alter the policy before withdrawal.
correct. where is the policy where he proposed ignoring the pandemic? is it buried in the paperwork of the billions devoted to the vaccine we developed? if this is true, then why are you blaming trump for 800k deaths and not 150k?
let me explain this yet again. if all the billionaires in america left nd ent to cost rica, this would decrease wealth disparity. but would it be good? conversely, if the worlds billionaires all moved here, that would increase wealth disparity, is that bad? do you understand that wealth inequality is a normal thing? the issue is eradicating poverty.
Don't talk down to me, especially when you don't know what you're talking about. Have you ever taken an economics course? As things stand, BOTH poverty and wealth disparity are propagated by existing laws, regulations, and practices. Wealth disparity is increased at the expense of those who are not wealthy. How can we know this? Because in countries that better provide social safety nets (food, housing, healthcare) poverty is not as extremely out of whack.
Can you name these countries that have poverty in control? Would like to deep dive you some information you might find useful
You already know this, but you'd be wasting your time. if it doesn't align with his whacked out far left narrative, he'll ignore or dismiss it. I mean, anyone who thinks Biden's Afghan withdrawal went 'amazingly well' tells you the kind of brainwashed lunatic you're dealing with. Like martin said, Biden himself admitted that he didn't anticipate how fast the 'Tollybon' would take over and his generals admitted that he didn't take their advice to leave troops on the ground until everyone and everything was out. Id love to see how he'll spin it.
this isnt true. people can get wealthy without it being at the expense of others. for example, if i invent a kickass widget, and i sell a billion of them for a dollar each, i am a billionaire, and a billion poeple are now the owner of some widget they preferred to have over a dollar. exchange for mutual benefit, both sides win. the guy who sells the most widgets actually helped people the most. if i invented a cure for cancer and sold it for 5000 bucks, i would become a zillionaire. and i would also benefit millions of people. they would prefer my product to owning 5k dollars. do you see how free market economies work? this rich hating class conflict is at the root of leftist authoritarianism, so hate of the rich must be encouraged. this is the kind of mentality that destroys countries with dumber, more gullible populations, like venezuela and cuba. when the rich actuallu do get rich at the expense of the poor, its under govt like you prefer, with a more powerful central authority, which inevitably leads to corruption.
