TRUMP IS WRONG: ASKING BIDEN TO RESIGN IS A CHEAP POLITICAL SHOT.

ICHEOKU says it is the politicians who do not want the current Afghanistan crisis to go to waste that are ratcheting up the temperature and blaming Joe Biden for the minor hiccups in Afghanistan. He is doing what other American presidents should have done since this past twenty years. They all dreamt about doing it but failed, as they succumbed to the pressure of the military industrial complex who would rather the Afghanistan engagement continued indefinitely. It was their golden egg layer and they salivated for it to last in perpetuity. Joe Biden understands fully the game which they play and was resolute in calling off their bluff and he did so. He has demonstrated a steely backbone and every well meaning American is grateful that he finally cut the losses and got America out of that boondoggle. 

No matter the withdrawal date, the outcome would have most likely still been the same, there will always be the usually associated hitches and glitches. But this should not defeat the merit in the decision. The 300,000 "well trained" and "well equipped" Afghanistan national army are members of the Taliban and would have still sabotaged the process by refusing to defend their country from their colleagues, the invading Taliban fighters. The Taliban spokesman Zubaiullah Mujahid even acknowledged that much when he said that they took over Kabul without losing a single fighter or firing a direct shot at anybody, including any Afghanistan soldier. So, how else does anyone expect Joe Biden to have avoided the outcome since it was an internal conspiracy and sabotage by the same people trained and equipped to forestal and prevent it such an outcome that facilitated it. 

So, when a president and commander in chief of a country fled and his national army and other security outfits disappeared, how else would there not be a breakdown of law and order in such a situation. The Taliban spokesman also said that they did not plan to enter Kabul until a workable arrangement was reached on a smooth transfer of power; but were forced to rush in to secure Kabul when they learnt that the moribund government of President Ashraf Ghani was  instigating disorderly activities and planned to blame it on the Taliban. According to him, their preemptive entering into Kabul prevented looting, rioting, burning and other disorderly behaviors and manners of criminalities which are usually associated with such sudden toppling of a government in power. 

So, why would anybody blame Joe Biden under the circumstances except they want to hurt him politically by portraying him as very weak and feeble. Had President Donald John Trump still been in the White House and the same circumstances presented themselves during his planned and supervised May 1st 2021 earlier withdrawal date, it would have been the same outcome.  Nothing would have stopped the Taliban from doing then, exactly what they did now; a matter made more convincing because they had refused to agree to many of the laid down conditions by the Trump's negotiating team. In fact, they literary dictated the terms of the agreement to a large extent and forced the Trump team to the May 1st withdrawal deadline or they will unleash mayhem in the country. 

Therefore let nobody try to convince anyone that Trump would have been more successful with the withdrawal of forces than Joe Biden because it is not true. Using the madness of the Afghanis to score a political point against Joe Biden by asking him to resign is uncalled for. Now is not the time to make reclamations as many American lives, civilian and military, are still in danger in Afghanistan. Every effort should be concentrated on ensuring their safe evacuation and return back to America and that the Taliban does not take them hostage or use them as a leverage to secure whatever concession they want, including an outright and unconditional recognition by Washington DC. Joe Biden therefore needs all the concentration he can muster right now, instead of worrying about any political fallout flowing from attacks by his political foes.

American political leaders on both sides must be seen to stand together and speak with one voice that no harm must come to American citizens and military being evacuated from Kabul. They should show total support to Joe Biden and stand with him squarely on the decision to end the America's longest running war as it was a decision taken in the interest of America people. It is also imperative that those people who have no wards, sons and daughters, husbands and wives, uncles and aunties and other relatives in active service, who have been going on repeat deployments into Afghanistan and constantly being exposed in harm's way, should be heard less about an over extended American military presence in Afghanistan. 

These people do not wear the shoes and do not particularly know how it hurts to lose a loved one in a senseless battle or for them to come home with their life completely destroyed. These people can pontificate all they want about the needs of the Afghanistan people, but in matters affecting lives, limbs and mental equilibrium of our fighting men and women, who have been stretched beyond tolerable safe limits in Afghanistan, they should maintain their silence and not be heard. President Donald John Trump never served in the military, neither did his parents, brothers and sisters, children and in-laws and should therefore be the last person to condemn Joe Biden's effort to save more American soldier from dying in the sands of Afghanistan. 

President Donald JohnTrump should rather be grateful that Joe Biden is standing "squarely" in seeing through the agreement which Trump himself entered with the Taliban. At least, it will be the only legacy of his which Joe Biden adopted and did not cancel; and therefore find a way to claim a joint credit for finally bringing the over extended Afghanistan engagement to an end. But actually, Joe Biden owns it all because it was under his watch that the Afghanistan war finally ended, regardless of the current snafus. ICHEOKU is a bona fide MAGAnite and a strong supporter of President Donald John Trump, so making this criticism did not come easily; but it is the right thing to do because Joe Biden got his decision "squarely" right on this matter. 

It is pointless helping a people who do not want to be helped or even help themselves. They refused to fight in defense of their country. Their president fled. Their military displayed such cowardice in the field of battle that they easily melted away. Who did Afghanis expect to continue to fight and die to defend their country when they would not. Their actions showed that Afghanistan is not worth dying for and following their example is the best thing to do. As they lead, so will the rest of the world now follow, including America. Joe Biden did not send the troops into Afghanistan. Joe Biden did not enter an agreement with the Taliban. Joe Biden is merely following through with an ongoing withdrawal process of American troops from Afghanistan which majority of American people supports and "squarely" stand with him. 

ICHEOKU appreciates Joe Biden for having such a testicular fortitude to see the withdrawal  through despite the opposition. It is the real test of a man and he has shown that he is made of a sterner stuff. So, thank you Joe Biden for finally ending the Afghanistan debacle. ICHEOKU commends and stands with Joe Biden squarely as he supervises the final vestiges of American troops engagement in Afghanistan. It is the right thing to do and doing right always comes with detractors derisiveness. History will credit him handsomely for standing squarely with the correct decision and American people are grateful. #StandWithBiden.
