President Biden told reporters that he believed it will be “hard to meet” the May 1 deadline set by the Trump administration to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan but assured he would be working with allies.

Biden Discusses Plan To Pull Out Troops From Afghanistan | NBC News
So this means now US troops don't have to stay away from home and family?
US is no more a superpower after loosing in Afghanistan.
This rush to pull out all troops from Afghanistan is wrong for the following reasons: 1. The US and the world must never forget that the planning and the eventual executing of the 911 catastrophe was mastermind in the exact country. To prevent a repeat or something on a bigger scale from happening we must keep a residual troop in the area. 2. This area is known for it poppy plant. The rebels and others who are desperate to control this product will be happy as they will be able to ship it to the US and other parts of the world. We already have a drug pandemic on our hand. 3. Our allies in the area who have helped us with the war on terror will be at risk. Many of the ones and their families who helped us in the fight will be killed. Some may even join the rebels to launch another terror attack on us. Finally, the only ones who are rejoicing at this move are the rebels who wants to control the region and run wild. The BidenHarris Administration should rethink their policy otherwise they would have forget the lessons of history.
You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake.
Jeannette Rankin
Nothing new Trump was doing that but the Democrats thought not a good idea. Biden will not go to the border and see the damage he has done. And the little kids are suffering because of him. Biden didn't inherit the border crisis he caused this tell the people the truth. Terrible guy in the WH terrible trust me the Democrats are up to something.
Withdrawing troops from Afghanistan must be accompanied by close monitoring of the situation and the Taliban and moves and actions by Pakistan. We went there to get rid of Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. OK, so Osama is dead, Al-Qaeda is gone (but is it?), and Trump just empowered the Taliban by agreeing to a peace deal without involving the Afghan government. This is the repetitious US BS policies towards Afghanistan – Betraying the Afghans will not bode well for anyone on this earth. This is not a success story as Joe is putting it to us..this is an UTTER failure .. on many fronts – America owes Afghanistan eternal protection for saving the USA from the Cold war with Russia by sacrificing itself. Here are some "stats" for the uneducated, young, and ignorant. 10 million refugees, 3 million dead, 2 million dismembered, 4 million orphans, 1.5 million widowed, the country is destroyed, generations lost. ALL because the USA and Soviets could not agree in 1978, their greed and power took an innocent/bystander country and turned it into a battlefield – followed by failed policies of past administrations, untimely decisions, and hatred – here we are, repeating this again. YOU think America has given losses to this war – read up again – next time you see an Afghan man, woman, or child, say THANK YOU to them for their sacrifice which secured your freedom.
I love how he tries to read the paper for the The questions only ones aloud to be said RIGHT JOE he is SENILE GODBLESS AMERICA
All he’s doing is leaving it do he taken over by Iranian proxies who will use it as a base to spread global terror
They will just take troops out of Afghanistan, and send them somewhere else. The old senile war monger not only voted for the Iraq War, he was instrumental in getting it pushed through Congress. As vice president, he supported the invasion of Libya and Syria. Old war monger picked a retired general who used to sit on the board of Raytheon as Defense Secretary. Only a fool would believe that Biden suddenly cares about peace. And, only a fool would believe that Building 7 (not hit by a plane) came down in free fall acceleration. The BBC said Building 7 came down 20 minutes before it actually collapsed. It's all a farce.
Agreed. Should have been out of there a long time ago. Not sure what was gained.
They were supposed to be withdrawn may 1st. Biden did not withdraw anything, he extended their stay. It’s crazy how far you have shifted the people’s view of this based on the title. Disgraceful.
But he said it was a bad idea when Trump suggested it!
Finally, Biden is following the "Trump doctrine" ending useless wars…..
Bring them ALL home. Including all the troops from
Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, et al.
This is the right thing to do and I just want to hear how the war hawks and the military industrial complex and the Pentagon are going to try to bring us into another IMPERIAL war.
And what about the 25000 mercenary contract workers that are still in Afghanistan? Will they be withdrawn? Or will more be added to replace the soldiers who are taken out? As a diligent news organization you should follow up on that question
Sneaky Joe…telling the enemy what your doing and when your doing it…new strategy for our enemies…..clever Joe
Hmm really Biden taking Trumps lead to bring back troop for these useless, unwinninable and costly wars. Bet grandpa and the rest will say it is thier idea…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsBz_rFTEF8
I mean that’s all well and good, but Trump said the exact same thing and almost a year later we are still there.
This is huge news and Biden should be applauded if this happens
America should never leave Afghanistan for regional and global security. It is also critical for American freedom.
Military industrail complex that is the answer. Democrats love war. Trump was right. He left white house and US military, big banks and democrats changed the decision.
i dont think that US troops will be out of afgan or iran or middle east as a whole!!! if that happens there will be losts of disturbance, at the global level! its not that easy that looks!
You can’t trust anything this guy says. He clearly has early Alzheimer’s or early dementia. Just watch it will come out and Harris will take over.
I would trust him if he said We are retreating now! But he said maybe. I guess there’s too much opium in the country so you can’t just leave it

Russia has actively worked against us in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Pakistan elements have actively worked against us with the approval of many within the Pakistan government. If we move the Troops out of Afghanistan it would become a haven for terrorists. Our mistake with Afghanistan is that we did not conduct the Operation as a coalition. We have the assistance of foreign allies but it is U.S led. The Taliban see themselves in the position of power and only allowing us to save face by withdrawing. They will do whatever necessary to once again rule Afghanistan. Yes I agree with a withdrawal but one that is done with wisdom and caution.
The troops will remain there forever.
Broken words broken promises
i would change out our us troops beouseif you take them all out your setting your self for anther 911 all over again just saying joe biden
50 bucks says that this potato wont pull troops from afghanistan.
🙄 Watch for the false flag that inevitably will cause the US to stop it’s retreat and start fighting again.
With Bagram Air Base we win WW3. I ain't giving that up for nothing. We have no Treaty with China and a crappy unverifiable Treaty with Russia. Bagram Air Base gets us those verifiable Treaties or wins us WW3. The choice is yours.

this the truth
Trump negotiates deal to pull out troops out by May.
Never trumpers and neocons protest and join democratic party.
Trump loses election
Neocon: nows our chance
This sounds like a Russian wrote the title
What waste of everyone's time …. just get them out … there's no point now of us troops being in afghanistan
Mr Biden , I hope you will follow Mr Trump,and withdraw forces .
Mr Biden,thanks for your concern of Afghanis.
What about the killing of >2 millions people. Who’s accountable ?
It is USA ? NATO.
Pentagon still wants to steal all that trillion dollars of rare mineral wealth in afganistan and all afganistan people want americans out of there country and taliban are real hebrew isrealites jesus christ lost sheep god battle axe in bible, http://www.biblesearchers.com/hebrewchurch/primitive/losttribesisrael9.shtml
President TRUMP was not a war lord.. Probably the first American president in many decades
Been hearing this for about 20 years now
Not difficult for one who wants it. There are no many troops there and they can be freely withdrawn just like it was promised and worked by great President Trump.
