I am actually surprised by the sheer amount of flak the Biden admin is getting from some center left news organizations. I was expecting the usual crew to hold the water bucket but more than half of the others are writing scorching pieces about the way the withdrawal has been mishandled.
That ship sailed under Trump’s presidency. It is remarkable that some could possibly think that under Trump’s presidency the USA’s reputation was enhanced given Trump’s appalling attitude he showed long term allies of the USA including Australia.
It’s just ridiculous when one starts seeing the pieces, Trump had his faults but even the majority of press is putting this one on Biden because of what has been leading up to it. We will never know how Trump or anyone else would have handled it because we have been officially ran out of the country, no embassy burning papers and getting on helicopters. Trump has been gone nearly 9 months, these decisions of the hasty withdrawal between a country being taken over by the Taliban started around May.
One can connect the dots of this tragedy without needing to think on what Trump might have or didn’t do.
Like this beauty on why there was no air support right now to stop the columns of Taliban.
