The Trump administration, in February 2020, signed a deal with the Taliban agreeing to remove all U.S. troops by spring 2021. It included a handful of concessions, including that the Taliban would hold fire against U.S. troops as they departed. The Afghan government was cut out of these discussions.

Trump later undermined that agreement, tweeting in October of that year that all U.S. troops should be home by Christmas! Then-Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper sent Trump a memo advising the president that ongoing Taliban attacks, potential danger for the remaining U.S. personnel and risks to U.S. alliances made that timeline untenable.

I think this will be one of the strongest legal actions, to bring TFG to justice.

Every effort to hold Donald Trump accountable has been thwarted by those who made it someone else

George W had the task of taking revenge for 9/11...and putting in place systems to prevent attacks from happening again.
If only govts before him had seen the danger and taken measures to stop hijackings, whether or not that would attract a "racist" label.
Trouble was, previous govts didn't pretend they were terrorists and look for ways that terror attacks might be carried out.
If they had, locking cabin doors would likely have been one thing they acted on...but they seemed oblivious to what was going on in the world at the time, seeming to believe that bin Laden's terrorists were only living in caves, whereas they were at universities in prayer rooms only for them where they could plot terror attacks uninterrupted.

Osama Bin Laden's family was rich and they lived in Beverly Hills, California, like royalty.

And in the 1960s there were hijackings of aircraft, people should have prevented the hijackings.

Of note, we have 1 Million Persians from Iran living in Los Angeles now. And the Arabs are moving to Anaheim.

And a new movie is in the works about Queen Farah Pahlavi which might start a movement, and we have Mahlagha Jaberi here in California who is an activist from Iran.

The refugees from Syria are welcome at the Kiwanis Village in Victoria, British Columbia, with the refugee children and their families.

And the Peace Corps can help.

Also, the Jews in New York can help, and the Russian Jews, etc.

And the Christian Latinos from the prisons of Latin America can be released with prostitutes for wives to help for the Christians to take over Lebanon, to be on the same team with Israel and with the Jews in New York, etc. The prisoners and the prostitutes from Latin America can be given a chance at a new life in Lebanon and they can be allies with Israel, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.
