I'll try and make this as simple as possible for you so that even you might be able to grasp what is and is NOT within the power of the Executive branch. Let's do a little compare and contrast, eh?
Keystone pipeline. Trump authorized construction of the pipeline and on day one, Joey Puddins cancelled it. Would you say that Puddins is NOT 100% responsible for cancelling it? Or would you partially blame Trump because after all he authorized it?
Now let talk about the Taliban. Trump signed the agreement (NOT a TREATY mind you) and set up a plan to be out by May 1. Puddins comes on board and doesn't meet the May 1 date. It's now 6 months later and Puddins abandons Afghan forces support by not sharing intel and providing air support. The Taliban over run Kabul after the collapse of the Afghan Armyin three days and Puddins does not provide security for remaining US citizens. Now is that Puddins fault or Trumps?
Remember this isn't a TREATY which means the Executive branch is free to do WHAT THE FCUK EVER IT WANTS. Puddins could have canceled the deal entirely if he wanted to... just like he did with Keystone.
If you can't hold Trump responsible for canceling Keystone, I don't know what kind of fcuked up logic makes you think he's responsible for the botched EXECUTION of the withdrawal of forces that Trump signed. And it was an agreement to leave NOT THE FCUKING HOW... but the actual agreement to leave.
The HOW it was executed is all over Puddins face and the dead civilians he's going to leave behind.

You can read the
fcuking agreement here. There is NOTHING in here about the particulars of HOW the withdrawal is executed... just stipulations that the Taliban will not threaten US forces and Allies. I've already written that we needed to GTFO, the expectation was that Afghan security forces would fight... when that didn't happen and the Taliban we're advancing quickly, the supposed CinC could have sent in B-52s, the 82nd, a Marine MEU, or any of a hundred other options... instead Puddins just said "No point in sterring now!" and let this thing turn into a shit show.
We don't get to know what Trump would have done differently. That's not even a matter for debate, you dumbass. The nation must deal with WHAT IS, not what someone else might have done. And Frankly, Puddins is doing worse than if we just made decisions by flipping a coin. I get it you're an emotional tweener and gots to defend the Vegetable in Chief. But guess what , Wedgie, the CinC isn't constrained by what Trump negotiated and approved...
That's the point you mindless "But Trump woulda" asshats need to understand.... it doesn't fcuking matter what Trump woulda... it matters what Puddins SHOULDA... as in maybe he and Milley vanilli shoulda been doing their jobs instead of looking for mythical extremists in the ranks or making sure white men went through the chow line last.
Fcuking stupid priorities led to stupid blindness, which has led to stupid consequences. Unfortunately, those deadly consequences will be visited on innocent folks rather than the dumbasses in DC and the Pentagon.
