When Joe Biden promised not to leave Americans behind in Afghanistan, he likely had no idea how many troops and civilians would end up being left on foreign soil. Recent reports have emerged the US government forgot around nine thousand people. The original reports estimating only 250 souls were left behind. How do we have this large of a discrepancy?
The recent information on the situation has been very troublesome. These numbers are so high they can’t be real. How did the body count go from 250 to over 9,000? The number keeps rising, and it doesn’t seem like the bad news will stop anytime soon. Is the 9,000 number fake news? According to fact check sites, they are still estimating 100-200 people are still in Afghanistan. Maybe this information is not updated?
If the 9,000 number is real, what would that mean? This has the potential for many terrible scenarios inside and outside of the United States. If Joe Biden actually left 9,000 Americans in Afghanistan, there must have been a reason.
Why would Biden leave 9,000 Americans in Afghanistan? The answer is not as straightforward or financial. It could also be because of America’s diminishing power and influence around the world, which has led us to take on too much responsibility for other countries’ affairs abroad while leaving our own domestic problems unaddressed- This can all lead back down an even worse spiral if left unchecked.
Is it possible that the United States cant safely exit Afghanistan? The United States may not have the military to get Americans and equipment outside of Afghanistan. What if terrorist armies hold too firm a grip on this region from the ground? It would require running for cover immediately for anyone on foreign soil and hiding the truth from the American people. If the United States military is not strong enough to correctly get out of the hostile territory, this could show extreme weakness. Would it be strategically better to blame the Biden administration for this blunder?
The other potential scenario is just as scary… What if Joe Biden’s administration had a cash agreement with someone to leave equipment and individuals behind? Why would they do this – money makes people do evil things. Is this even a possibility?
Hopefully, none of this is true or even a possibility. This may be an extreme blunder that Biden’s administration needs to learn from and understand better. Foreign policies and issues need bipartisan support and must be more successful than past performance. Regardless, all lives matter, all Americans need to be protected, and fighting for freedom is essential. Hopefully, everyone can agree on that!
