Worries abound that the U.S. will not be able to remove all American citizens and Afghan allies from Afghanistan before an Aug. 31 deadline to withdraw.

They need to make a clean and safe exit. Biden can go there and be the Last one from America out. Note; I did not say last American out.

The president started this mess by not evacuating before removing troops. We owe our people and allies the right to get safely out!

President Joe Biden held firm to the Aug. 31 deadline in public remarks Tuesday. He said meeting the deadline will require Taliban cooperation.

If ALL people who want out are out, no, we need to go If we still have US citizens or supporters that want out, we need to make that happen, no question. This is an epic failure of the current administration. Total flustercluck.

The sheep shouldn't be alarmed, because Trump said he would do this during his campaign. He comes from the business world, not politics. We actually have a president keeping the promises he made to those who elected him, a trait that is not common with career politicians.

Other countries have placed tariffs on our goods, far more so than we have ever done. I used to sell overseas,many customers of mine had to pay 25-30% in tariffs when the goods arrived. No, I am not worried. Excited is a better term. Fair and equal, globally.

Max DeYoung

I would be worried about the economic pain, if we did not reciprocate.
