I’m fine with how Afghanistan went. The military would have dragged it out for another 10 years. I’d much rather have a suboptimal quick withdrawal.
Nobody's arguing it was short-term better for the US. It abandoned to the wolves all of the people who worked with it in Afghanistan, though. And did that abruptly. Betrayals tend to have long-term consequences. Those who think they've seen a few betrayals go well without those, just have blind spots.
Yeah, actually. I agree that Biden handled the Afghanistan situation as well as anyone could. I guess I'd forgotten that with all of the things happening now.
Edit:
~~Did anyone die~~? A quick Google search shows yes. That's horrible. I've read several news sources on it but I'm wondering if you've found out the facts about that bombing? It's more digging than I have the time for right now.
