The United States and coalition forces invaded Afghanistan in 2001 after the September 11 terror attacks. After the attacks, U.S. intelligence officials determined that the Afghani-based militant organization Al-Qaeda was responsible. In 2001 90% of Afghanistan was controlled by the Sunni Islamic military organization The Taliban. After the Taliban refused requests by U.S. President George W. Bush to dismantle Al-Qaeda the U.S. launched military operations known as Operation Enduring Freedom. As of June 27, 2019 2,419 U.S. troops have died in the conflict.
No, and reinstate the Afghan monarchy to stabilize the country
Yes, but the total withdrawal of our military troops should be done gradually over a two-year period
No , unfortunately we already screwed the pooch on that one
@8Y5V35M1yr
Yes but leave small groups of operatives behind to ensure a stable transition of power and prevent Taliban control.
@8Y5THJN1yr
Yes, but only after we evacuate any citizen, both Americans and Afghans, who don’t wish to remain
@8Y5RT7D1yr
President Trump's plan was sound and solid. Biden messed this up big time. 13 Marines died because of Biden's ignorance.
We should have developed a relationship with the Pashtun, restrained India, and warmed up to the ISI and Pakistani State. Long term goal would to be ensure Russia or China could not exploit a relationship with the Taliban and utilize a geopolitical strategy in the region.
Yes, but much more carefully and gradually, and after all US citizens leave the country.
@8Y5H8CP1yr
Keep some troops to protect diplomats.
@8Y58S6H1yr
No, but pull out most troops and leave some for humanitarian aid and basic protection
@8Y56FMS1yr
Yes, remove troops from every nation in the world
@8Y4WQ3X1yr
Yes, they should pull all military forces, assets and equipment out of Afghanistan, but also disallow the activity of PMC companies and their own assets and employees. Most of our actions in the middle east are performed via PMCs anyway for plausible deniability, so simply removing official US troops will not solve the problem at all. The PMCs need to go and be barred from activity in that region.
@8Y4DN971yr
Yes but we should do it carefully and leave no one behind
@8Y4D42Y1yr
Yes, but do so in a controlled manner that will protect all citizens and military there.
@8Y433GB1yr
Yes, but not the way it was done, leaving so many Americans and those who supported America behind.
Deleted1yr
Yes, but it needs an actual plan to get out, by implementing a better exit strategy without hurting allies and people that relied on us during that time.
@8Y4293Z1yr
Not unless issues have been resolved
Yes and bring back military supplies
@powertrial1yr
Yes, so long as it’s planned and well executed.
@8Y3P6N51yr
Yes, but not the way Biden did. They shoyld stick to Trump's original plan instead.
@8Y3JTXY1yr
Yes but equip Afghan people to fight and have a strategic withdrawl.
@8Y3GBB51yr
Yes, but we should not have left people behind.
@mlsline1yr
No, USA should have followed Trump's plan and left a small advisory force, retained Bagram, & evacuated people while maintaining control. Biden has created a humanitarian, financial, & military disaster.
@8Y2VD951yr
Yes but not like we did. What a disaster.
@8Y2TKH61yr
Yes, but do it slowly over time
Maintain small garrison to ensure stability, Keep Bagram AFB.
@8Y2SD2D1yr
Yes, and our military should conduct targeted missile strikes and drone strikes in Afghanistan in oder to kill our enemies.
@8Y2S6D21yr
Yes, a country who seeks aid but refuses to fight for themselves is undeserving of support. It's about having the will to fight and resist their suppressors
Yes, Afghanistan is a waste of time
@8Y2RQY51yr
Yes, but keep a peacekeeping force there to ensure the Taliban don't come out of hiding and take over the nation in less than a month, oh hang on. that is exactly what happened right?
@8Y2PZNR1yr
No, the US should put more troops into Afghanistan to wipe out the Taliban, Al-Queda, and ISIS as well as other national threats
@8Y2P9521yr
Yes, but not the way Joe Biden handled it.
@8Y2NZYL1yr
yes, but little by little
@8Y2LCQ51yr
This was a horrible idea
Yes, but we should do so strategically, and inform our allies of our motives.
@8Y2GWPF1yr
demolish iran,iraq,syria,china, north korea ,south korea , Vietnam, Taiwan ,Thailand, Asia,japan,jordon.
@8Y2FLR61yr
Yes but all citizens first and troops last.
Yes . But still continue to monitor and provide aid in other ways
@8Y2BBN71yr
We should support free people, aiming to protect the dignity of every human anywhere they are.
@borghh10111yr
Not all, but most of them.
@8XZZR7D1yr
Yes, this is a waste of money.
@8XZYJM91yr
believe that we should pull them out, but it needs to be in a way that does not harm the country more.
@8XZTZWX1yr
They should've done so strategically. Pulling out of Afghanistan was the right call, but Biden's execution was horrible.
@8XZP8JC1yr
No, do not pull all troops. Leave half in Afghanistan just in case.
Deleted1yr
Yes, but it needs an actual plan to get out and implement a better exit strategy without hurting allies and people that relied on us during that time.
@8XZLT891yr
A safe and slow withdrawal working with local govt to ensure democratic and safe new ruling parties.
@8XZFBFG1yr
slowly pull them out so chaos doesn't erupt
