Please google the word " inanity" Again, your post shouts parody, as who would actually seriously post such nonsense?
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

What I said was simple, and true. That I had previously posted a similar conclusion to that reached by the linked article. You don't have to agree with, or accept, that conclusion. It would be surprising if you did. All I was doing was pointing out that others did.

I shall limit myself to correcting your frequent errors and bursting your pompous balloon.

What you believe about the Biden administration's analysis is completely irrelevant. ALL I am saying is that it apparently matches my own, which you are also fully entitled to disagree with. I took a keen interest in the Trump administration's approach on ending US involvement in Afghanistan, and the concerns expressed by our military at what it might produce. It seems an agreement was made with the Taliban that bound the USA. Biden may well have wanted to tear it up, but knew that breaking such an agreement could produce a worse outcome than keeping it.

Correction: you stated the Biden administration report confirmed your opinion, now you have changed to " apparently matches ". Pompous balloon: you consider yourself to be vaguely informed about the Afghan situation based on what you gleaned from the media. You actually have no idea about any agreements that may have been reached with the Taliban.

Trump was of course also responsible for the debacle of the US withdrawal from Saigon in 1975 (compounded by Brexit).

You actually have no idea about any agreements that may have been reached with the Taliban. Once again it seems I have to correct you. I will ignore the obvious insults. "Confirming my opinion" means exactly the same as "apparently matches". It doesn't mean my opinion is proven, or that other opinions don't exist. It means as someone else holds it, there is support for it. If I had said "proves my opinion is true", you would have a point. You are though wrong. My opinion is not founded simply on media reports. It also arises from the cold hard fact of the "Doha Agreement". It's my opinion this boxed Biden into a corner in which he was damned if he went ahead but probably more damned if he didn't. Read these. They can be interpreted in more than one way, but they aren't fiction:-

Pomposity balloon alert During a long and varied business career I owned both a care home with predominantly EMI clients and a children's nursery. The comments I receive here often remind me of those days.

Don't believe in shouting anyway. Much more productive to gently persuade, ignore provocation, be clear in what you expect and never give up.
