A couple hundred billion sounds like a steal considering Afghanistan cost the US trillions with all equipment falling in Taliban hands

I was w8in on u to spin it for us.

Have you checked how much the war on Afghanistan has cost the US? It was a complete disaster.

The best option is to cut losses / pull out.

Also I never supported this war, quote me

No matter the spin, its a loss and Trump blinked. We should all still be cheering however that this is ending though because SPR and other oil reserve levels were beginning to deplete. If i was Trump i would rather be embarrassed vs being the catalyst for a global oil crisis with actual shortages.

Actually have increased respect for Trump making the correct play. Take a quick L and some personal embarrassment over getting us stuck in another 2 decade war.

You would think christianity would have learned over the last 1000 years that muslims in the desert don't roll over easily

2018: Trump cancels deal bc it was Obama's. Says he can negotiate a better one
2018-2020: Trump can't negotiate one. Arms control experts and Trump officials start to grumble that scrapping Obama's deal was probably a bad idea
2025: Trump still can't negotiate a deal
2025: Israel launches an attack on Iran. Drags Trump in. Trump claims Iran's nuclear capacity was wiped out
