Donald Trump and Mike Pompeo agreed to let 5,000 Taliban hardcore soldiers who were prisoners be released in exchange for a 3 month ceasefire.
The prisoners they released are now murdering and killing innocent people throughout Afghanistan.
Walking around kabul. Hard stares. Mood changing. People not just sad, but angry, blaming the US for abandoning the country to war, chaos, and the Taliban

After starting multiple endless wars, selling out the Kurds, inviting the Taliban to Camp David on 9/11, selling out our allies and embracing our enemies, and orchestrating a terror attack against the United States, we don’t want to hear a damn thing from Republicans.
