    Last time I checked, Trump pulled troops out of Middle East and Asia, where US destabilized many countries. As far as the rest of the world is concerned, Trump is much better.

      the only thing Trump did for the rest of the world was give us something to laugh at. Problem is 30% of you guys still don’t see the joke

        Do you really think rest of the world isn’t laughing at you with Biden in power? There’s always something to laugh at.

          I mean we really don’t laugh at Biden. he’s just some generic politician as far as we (the rest of the world) are concerned.

          its just the brain-dead Trump nuts who seem to think we see him the same as those lunatics

            By…, not being there? Interfering less? The worst the army did was to left behind ammunition for Taliban to take in Afghanistan.

            Compare and contrast this to one of the major reasons for Syrian conflict and complete chaos it (US) brought to Iraq; that’s nothing.

                  Do you seriously think people are better off in Afghanistan now? Fucking hell you’re deluded.

                    I think it will take a generation to repair all the damage that the country suffered since the 2002 invasion and occupation. Getting out from under an occupation government that regularly dropped bombs and mortars across its surface, sent in teams of assassins to execute local leadership, and looted the treasure for two decades running was a necessary first step to recovery. But it won’t be any kind of place you’d want to live, any more than Iran was after the '79 revolution or Vietnam was once Ford finally pulled us out of Saigon. It will take a generation or more to repair the damage, assuming some new assholes don’t invade again.

        No, they haven’t. It’s the thing with fucking up entire countries; they never really get healed. It’s just that less and less people are running away that it’s getting more and more stable each year.
