Biden’s decision to withdraw from Afghanistan is probably the worst decision that any American president has made in history. The fact that American troops have withdrawn has allowed the Taliban to what looks like will take over the entire country with minimal resistance. The US is burning sensitive papers, and communication devices in its embassy to prevent our secrets being given to our enemies. We are sending thousands of troops to help with the evacuation of diplomatic personnel.
All this is after spending hundreds of billions of dollars and loosing tens of thousands of American lives to defeat the Taliban. IMO, both Biden and Harris should be removed from office over this. I would not be surprised if Biden’s decision to pull out results in a 9/11 style attack.
I don’t think that Biden has ever made a Foreign policy decision or recommendation that would benefit the US.
Blah blah blah. If he didn't withdraw the troops you'd be crying about him reversing Trumps decision to withdraw from Afghanistan and continuing the forever war.
There is no easy answer to the middle east, it's just not as simple as you think.
I have posted before that I opposed Trump's decision to withdraw from Afghanistan. I don't think Trump would do something as reckless as continue a withdrawal as the Taliban reneges on its peace deal, and starts to take over major parts of the country.
US troop
losses have been low since 2015, and if anything, American troop presence was a deterrence to the Taliban (somewhat similar to a wall). American troops have not recently seen a lot of combat in Afghanistan, and most of our resources were spent in training the Afghanistan military.
The US has military bases in Germany (and throughout Europe), and in Japan, over 70 years after winning its second consecutive World War. A similar point can be made about our military presence in South Korea. Afghanistan is not as close of an ally to the US as these other countries are, but the point remains that the US has maintained a military presence throughout the world for decades.
I don't think anyone can defend Biden's decision in good faith. Even the left-wing media is describing the situation as "Biden's Saigon".
Who would have thought that one of Biden's first acts as President would be to lose a war in which US troops were seeing nearly zero active conflict?
If Trump had done something similarly reckless, I would be calling for his removal from office.
