You might not like the nightcap but you can't just shrug off the missing links that build your chains of shameful lying posts, e.g., "America has never negotiated with terrorists" ... except, of course, for Reagan and Trump.

President Trump's Disgraceful Peace Deal with the Taliban
"There is a difference between peace and retreat. The Trump administration’s agreement with the Taliban represents a full retreat. It’s an agreement that most Republicans would deplore if a Democrat president made the deal, and they’d be right to be angry. ..."
.
[Embedded video: "Trump says he had a good talk with Taliban leader." March 2020]
.
"If you read the peace agreement itself, you’ll note immediately that it gives the Taliban a series of concrete, measurable gifts. ... At the same time, the United States will immediately and substantially reinforce the Taliban by seeking the release of 5,000 Taliban prisoners by March 20. Even worse, the United States further agreed to a goal of “releasing all remaining prisoners over the course of the subsequent three months.” It will do this at the same time that it commits to the “goal” of removing sanctions from members of the Taliban that include travel bans, asset freezes, and an arms embargo. ..."
.
"The combination of the planned American retreat and the planned prisoner release would represent a substantial change in the balance of forces in Afghanistan. This would come without any agreement by the Taliban to cease hostilities against our allies. ..."
.
"At this point, the deal looks worse than a simple withdrawal. America can leave all on its own without also agreeing to seek the release of Taliban prisoners. It can leave all on its own without promising to ease sanctions. So why agree to the additional concessions? America is making these concrete concessions in exchange for unenforceable promises from an untrustworthy enemy. ..."
.
Then-current Trump officials called the deal Trump negotiated with the Taliban a surrender and pointed out that Trump had been played by the Taliban. ... But you keep repeating your claim that "America has never negotiated with terrorists" (prior to Biden)?

As usual, I included a link. I hope you wear it well.
