For instance Biden was advised not do the US withdrawal in the middle of the Taliban "fighting season" when they were all in the field and move quickly. Biden was advised not to stop paying the contractors who were essential to keeping the Afghan air force flying. Etc. etc. etc.
But Biden overruled everyone advising him and insisted on his own disastrous plan and his own disastrous timetable.
For what it know it was Trump who was negotiating in Doha conditions of withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan and agreed timeline was indicating 11th Sep. 21 as a final pull out date.
This was implying pull out during Taliban fighting season.
My impression about this disaster is a bit different - Americans were tricked to believe that Afghan government forces will fight.
But apparently they have just shaken hands with Talibs and surrendered/merged.
So where were your intelligence services?
Why your command was not aware of such possibility?
Really it would be best for all if Biden would just resign now.
The man is a disaster and a disgrace. IMHO Biden should resign or he should be impeached or be removed from office due to his obvious cognitive decline.
Do you sincerely believe that Kamala Harris will do any better job?
She is a disaster in waiting, even more so than Biden.
IMHO major problems of Americans is that they got so brainwashed by progressivism, antagonized by racial divisions and damaged by decadence and entitlement culture that selecting competent leadership is no longer possible there.
Your political class is very comparable to Soviet gerontocracy from late Brezhnev onwards.
BTW, by age they are at average probably older than Soviet apparatchiks of 1980-thies so it is not strange that they lose a touch with reality.
