Trump on Afghanistan: "If you take a look at when I was president, the Taliban killed lots of our soldiers with snipers. I got involved with them because they're the fighting force. And Abdul is the head of the Taliban and I told Abdul not to do it anymore and he asked why I sent him a picture of his house and I told him to figure that out. Mike Pompeo negotiated the exit, but we wouldn't have done it the way Biden did it. They left beautiful new equipment behind. They didn't do what the agreement said. It was terminated because they didn't do. They did the worst withdrawal and in my opinion the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country and that's why Russia attacked Ukraine."
Just uhhh, leaving this here...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibatullah_Akhundzada
Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada,[a] also spelled Haibatullah Akhunzada,[b] is an Afghan cleric who is the supreme leader of Afghanistan in the internationally unrecognized Taliban regime. He has led the Taliban since 2016, and came to power with its victory over U.S.-backed forces in the 2001–2021 war.
Sure, but Abdul makes all the decisions.
I can, honestly, with the second spelling, (Haibatullah) see how maybe someone pronounced it correctly near him, and he's such a fucking idiot that all he genuinely heard was "abdul"
There is a deputy listed named Abdul. Probably can't fathom that a leader wouldn't want to deal with him directly. You know leaders come and visit him all the time, they call him
Trump was actually just offering to list Abdul's house on Zillow.
