Goodness no, now that wouldn't do at all!
the Afghanistan withdrawal. that’s so far it. it’s a loving major achievement. it also matters nothing for most people because it’s foreign policy. but it rules. I still loathe Biden. but that’s the answer. and it is a big one.

also, the fact that Biden did this. and it was a colossal achievement in ending human misery and bringing troops home. and literally no one remembers it. that’s why no president gives a gently caress about foreign policy when it comes elections.

would that have happened without the withdrawal though

edit; in fact, I’m willing to brook that the withdrawal was timed to avoid this. which makes it of course worse. but still. the country is free of us troops at least. who would definitely not have fixed this issue.

biden should only get credit for the withdrawal being a massive fuckup, after prolonging it beyond what was agreed upon between the trump admin and the taliban

it was a fuckup invasion. a fuckup occupation. no way to make it not a gently caress up withdrawal other than it lasting six years and being undone by congress or next president.

you saw how much the media turned on Biden for doing it. that alone should have been ding ding ding bells for “maybe this is the right thing.”

it’s the one thing the dude has done right and yes he could have done it better but this isn’t Obamacare half measure bullshit he literally got the troops out. it’s his one unequivocally good act.
