We could have been in Afghanistan for another 40 years with the same outcome. Someone down the line was going to have to pull us out and it was going to go badly. Every year we waited we threw more money and lives at an unsolvable problem.
Biden made the call, and he had to know it wasn't going to be good for his political future. He'll be in front of a mic soon taking ownership for his decisions.
I've seen this take a lot. Love to know how you'd feel if you were trying to get a flight out of Kabul right now.
I don't mean to exonerate Biden on the whole process. There was a super miscalculation on how well the Afghans were going to step up.
The media's coverage of the Trump peace deal that set all this in motion over the last year didnt help either.

Would this have gone any differently if it was done like … secretly? Instead of announced as front page news?
My understanding is that last year Trump negotiated a May 2021 completion date so it's not like Sleepy could undo that and not restart the war.
