Supported the ANA as a staged withdrawl region by region was carried out?
So by supported, do you mean engage in conflict with the Taliban who were trying to take over the regions?

Your alternative plan that would have made everything go so smoothly. All i seem to have had are a few buzzwords and vague things like how they should have tried to negotiate more, or delay leaving for a bit.
Nope, that's yours. If you feel I haven't backed up a particular claim or argument then go and quote itIts only delusional nonsense to you because you can never back up any of your arguments and always argue semantics or never answer questions directly. That is your MO in this forum.
Or not left or left behind contractors and enablers and given the ANA plenty of support... ,multiple options and you seem to continually ignore them.
I'll ask you again, which claim made earlier in the thread do you feel I haven't backed up? You've made that above claim in relation to me but now when questioned you can't answer directly... which is rather ironic.

But support to the ANA in what capacity? In a military capacity to fight off the Taliban?
I already have! Ive been asking you to elaborate and back up the ideas behind your masterful plan that was much better than Trump's/Biden's.
Advisors, enablers, contractors, air support... There are plenty of ways of giving them support.
Quote the post you were referring to. Tell me what argument I'm supposed to back up please, what specifically. are you asking.
Had these things all stopped?
Stop with this nonsense. This is the crux of what i'm debating with you know (ie asking you to justify/back up your ideas).
Mostly yes, again he pulled out contractors, he'd agreed with G7 leaders to leave some presence to prevent Kabul from falling.
Contractors are still American personnel though are they not? That still holds similar risks.
What about "enablers and advisors". Can you elaborate on that?
They are still providing air strikes according to reports. Owing to your obviously vast tactical knowledge of the area, can you tell me how many more airstrikes you would like to see, and how easy those are going to be to carry out without US troops on the ground?
I'm not a "Biden boy" (just lol at that term too). I think he is a bit of a "meh" president overall (but thankfully not a "LOL WTF, are you Serious?" president like the last one). I just think it's utterly bizarre to put so much blame on him for this scenario. A scenario that was put in motion and exacerbated by the previous administration, incredibly likely to happen with a full US withdrawal of troops, and a scenario that perhaps might be the best and least bloody outcome compared with an extended stay by US troops and an impatient Taliban.
Quote the post Jono... stop deflecting.
Yes US contractors are US contractors... What sort of question is that re: airstrikes - I'd like to have seen 69 Jono? Are you just trying to sealion with inane questions here because you've got an unsupportable position but you think badgering me with nonsense is now the way to go?
Well you said they could have provided more support with air strikes..which they are already doing. So how many more air strikes and how much more aerial support do you think they should be giving them.
My position is that this scenario may have been the best we got in terms of a full troop withdrawal.
Your alternative plan that would have made everything go so smoothly. All i seem to have had are a few buzzwords and vague things like how they should have tried to negotiate more, or delay leaving for a bit.
this is inane, I told you; 69.
Well I think your armchair general position there is clearly nonsense tbh..
It displays how meaningless and without merit your alternative ideas are about what they could have done differently.
The reality of it is that neither of us know **** all
even though that's pretty clearly nonsense.
You just tried to prove that and failed miserably. Mostly because you have no idea how any of the alternative scenarios you have vaguely described would have played out.
Its pretty much the opposite actuallyit's just you sticking your head in the sand and ignoring reality.
