(11,330 posts)GOP fantasizes that Trump would have done Afghanistan withdrawal differently. I'm pretty sure that is true.
First, he would have made sure that Russia captured US bases and assets like he did in Syria: now Putin has to work with the Taliban instead of seizing the US assets directly.
Second, he would have had a second helicopter fleeing with money for his own family like he fleeced his own supporters and charities.
Third he wouldn't have bothered to rescue US allies. We know because he left those tens of thousands of Syrians and Kurds that supported us in Syria without support.
Fourth, if Trump were still in power after SURRENDERING Afghanistan to the Taliban like he did with HIS PEACE TREATY, his administration would still be blocking VISAs for the US allies in Afghanistan like his administration did for the entire time he was in office.
In the 11 months after Trump signed his Peace agreement with the Taliban, his administration blocked/delays Visas to our Afghanis allies to the extent that there were almost 20,000 Visa applications in backlog.
In the 11 months after Trump signed his Peace agreement with the Taliban, his administration established no process to swiftly remove our allies from Afghanistan
