Pointless having a debate with you on this subject because it also involves Trump and as soon as that's done you cry off topic

Yes I noticed. An inter twined deal that Trump messed up and Biden had to carry through

Then I suggest you follow your own advice

There's a full timeline in that article that makes things pretty clear in fact Trump went onto to say: "In a released statement, Trump criticizes Biden’s Sept. 11 withdrawal deadline saying, “we can and should get out earlier.” He concludes, “Getting out of Afghanistan is a wonderful and positive thing to do. I planned to withdraw on May 1st, and we should keep as close to that schedule as possible.”

Who made a mess of it? The Trump administration in February 2020 negotiated a withdrawal agreement with the Taliban that excluded the Afghan government, freed 5,000 imprisoned Taliban soldiers and set a date certain of May 1, 2021, for the final withdrawal. And the Trump administration kept to the pact, reducing U.S. troop levels from about 13,000 to 2,500, even though the Taliban continued to attack Afghan government forces and welcomed al-Qaeda terrorists into the Taliban leadership. https://www.factcheck.org/2021/08/timeline-of-u-s-withdrawal-from-afghanistan/

Biden's statement was the facts as they were.

Things can change and the west is working on it. US Boosting Domestic Solar Industry, Reducing Reliance on China U.S. President Joe Biden Tuesday signed into law the sweeping Inflation Reduction Act, which includes tax incentives for the development of a more robust solar industry. The White House aims to triple domestic solar manufacturing by 2024. The law responds to longstanding calls by some in the solar industry for U.S. action to boost domestic manufacturing and to level the playing field between the United States and China. Many U.S. firms complain that China can manufacture solar panels and other hardware more cheaply than they can. https://www.voanews.com/a/us-boosting-domestic-solar-industry-reducing-reliance-on-china/6705923.html US Crackdown on Chinese Solar Means Sales Recovery Ruled Out US solar power equipment imports fell 16% through May Key China producers have had goods detained under new law Giant solar producers in China are ruling out any recovery in panel exports to the US as a recently enacted law targeting forced labor has stalled negotiations between US project developers and some foreign manufacturers. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-08-04/solar-giants-rule-out-us-boost-as-china-forced-labor-act-bites

Peace talks are with Ukraine and Putin rejected them As war began, Putin rejected a Ukraine peace deal recommended by aide But, despite earlier backing the negotiations, Putin made it clear when presented with Kozak's deal that the concessions negotiated by his aide did not go far enough and that he had expanded his objectives to include annexing swathes of Ukrainian territory, the sources said. The upshot: the deal was dropped. https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/exclusive-war-began-putin-rejected-ukraine-peace-deal-recommended-by-his-aide-2022-09-14/ President Zelensky: 'Ukraine won't join NATO to stop the war with Russia' In order to find peace with Russia, president Zelensky is willing to reject NATO https://www.marca.com/en/lifestyle/world-news/2022/03/23/623a883fca47418c4d8b45f6.html

Its ok, Russia's doing a mighty good job of supplying Ukraine with all it needs: Ukraine's New Offensive Is Fueled by Captured Russian Weapons “The Russians no longer have a firepower advantage. We smashed up all their artillery units before launching the offensive, and then we started to move ahead so fast that they didn’t even have time to fuel up and load their tanks,” said the officer. “They just fled and left everything behind.” Combined with weapons taken during Russia’s retreat from Kyiv and other parts of northern Ukraine in April, these recent gains have turned Moscow into by far the largest supplier of heavy weapons for Ukraine, well ahead of the U.S. or other allies in sheer numbers, according to open-source intelligence analysts. Western-provided weapons, though, are usually more advanced and precise. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/ukraine-s-new-offensive-is-fueled-by-captured-russian-weapons/ar-AA12CIDc

Oh look, the Russian connection pops up again, Trump came up with an idea last year to cut a deal with the National Archives. In exchange for documents about the FBI investigation into his 2016 campaign's ties to Russia, he told advisers, he would return material he took from the White House. How Trump Deflected Demands for Documents, Enmeshing Aides Late last year, as the National Archives ratcheted up the pressure on former President Donald J. Trump to return boxes of records he had taken from the White House to his Mar-a-Lago club, he came up with an idea to resolve the looming showdown: cut a deal. Mr. Trump, still determined to show he had been wronged by the F.B.I. investigation into his 2016 campaign’s ties to Russia, was angry with the National Archives and Records Administration for its unwillingness to hand over a batch of sensitive documents that he thought proved his claims. In exchange for those documents, Mr. Trump told advisers, he would return to the National Archives the boxes of material he had taken to Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Fla. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/08/us/politics/trump-documents-lawyers.html No paywall archive link

The crazies are out in Russia again, this time in Moscow demonstrating outside the US Embassy demanding a nuclear bomb be dropped on Washington Twitter video here

This is not about Blair, or Bush or would you also like to bring in Stalin and Hitler?

The civilian killing goes on. Official: Strikes on Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia kill 17 KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A Russian attack on Zaporizhzhia overnight struck apartment buildings and killed at least 17 people, a top official in the Ukrainian city said Sunday. City council Secretary Anatoliy Kurtev said the city was struck by rockets overnight, and that at least five private houses were destroyed and around 40 were damaged. The Ukrainian military also confirmed the attack, saying that there were dozens of casualties. https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-putin-9f6099f7ab937d4e6563aa0aaa4a3184 Video of the nightmare in the tweet below

Being reported now that one road lane of the bride is open to light traffic and the railway bridge will soon be repaired. So a few more strikes need to be planned for in the future! At the very least it is a huge propaganda victory for Ukraine, its not scared of Russia's nuclear threats. Quite right to. Have to wait and see now what Putin has in store as retribution, more mass shelling of civilian infrastructure no doubt. Here's the maxar satellite image.

Actually its not even that far advanced, its just a leak that the FBI have enough evidence to present to the DOJ

If you had quoted my full post it would have explained that to you

So whats it to be Russia? The bridge committed suicide The bridge was just re organizing itself Another goodwill gesture Or do we have another explanation until the truth is officially released?

The cop led of life of rule breaking while in the RTP, no consequences for his actions for over 2 years, carried on displaying violence and intimidation for all that time. It doesn't take a genius to realise that this learned behaviour sanctioned by officials who did nothing for 2 years led him to think he was above the law. After 2 years he was finally sacked but too late, damage done. My opinion only but basic psychology 101.

The only elephant in the room being Putin's illegal invasion into Ukraine

What fantastic news. Slava Ukraine!

Well actually i was not referring to you but since you've identified with it then sure you can be added to one of those I was referring to

I started what? At what point did I bring in other hypothetical senarios?

Whataboutism again...........................tedious
