"Biden has now shown the world what his version of 'America first' is. It is much different than the 'America first' vision of Donald Trump. Biden has brought back the 'ugly American'. We have worked for years to get rid of that unfortunate stereotype. Biden brought it back in less than a month."
Picture yourself as a citizen of Afghanistan. You have suffered for years, some say for generations, under some kind of brutal leadership. Being a tribal country, it usually depended on which war lord was stronger. Not a good way to live. Then something unexpected happened. With the Taliban in control of the country, a terror organization was given safe harbor. A tall man, named Osama bin Laden, who headed up this terror organization, master minded an attack on a country far away. Then everything started to change. The country which was attacked, all but declared war on the tall man and his organization. The Taliban were also targeted. Then in the first time in just about forever, things changed in Afghanistan - some of it, for the better.
The United States came to Afghanistan. Besides going after the baddies, they helped the people of Afghanistan learn how to live in the 21st century instead of the 12th. Woman were treated like humans instead of something less than human. Sharia Law was replaced by a court system with judges.
Many of the freedom loving people in Afghanistan loved the Americans, and trusted them. Some even worked for the Americans, as linguists and translators. America made tacit (and otherwise) promises to the good people of Afghanistan, they would NEVER be deserted by us. Never. Ever. That is what friendship is all about.
President Trump had told the Afghan people that the United States was going to end our participation in the war in May of 2021. It had gone on long enough. However, to ensure a continuing peace (of sorts) in Afghanistan, the exit of the United States was going to happen with conditions. In other words, if things started "going south" for the Afghan Army, we stood ready to come back in with resounding force.
Then the election of 2020 happened. With that, something unexpected took place. Trump was out, and a feeble old man was in.
As they say in the country, Biden did not give "two poops and a holler" about the people in Afghanistan. He hated Afghanistan when he was Veep under Obama. He hated it even more right now. Mix in some evil and visceral hatred of Donald Trump, and you have the perfect storm. The perfect storm on how to really screw over a friend and ally. Biden could not wait to cut the rope and get out of Afghanistan. But - what about our friends? The folks who helped us fight the Taliban? Our brothers in arms? "Screw em!", Biden said in so many words. "Sucks being you!"
Mean, somewhere in Kabul and beyond, are many of our friends, mostly hiding. Some are duel citizens, some are American citizens. All have been forgotten, abandoned, and stranded. The great and benevolent United States, the "shining city on the hill", has left our friends to drown in a sea of blood. I could almost see any loyal Afghan friend, standing with hands stretched in the air, saying with a loud and sorrow filled voice, "Et tu Biden?"
Biden has now shown the world what his version of "America first" is. It is much different than the "America first" vision of Donald Trump. Biden has brought back the "ugly American" persona. We worked for years to destroy that unfortunate stereotype. Biden brought it back in less than a month.
Nice going Joe. You are not only ruining this country, but also ruining how this country is perceived by the world. You might possibly be the worst American this country has ever produced. And for some reason, 80 million idiots elected you to be in charge. SMH...
