Oh, I know i'm right.
Would you forget anytime that a foreign army was standing on your soil? Here in the ol' U.S. of A. we put out the barbie, open some suds, and watch the fireworks every July.
So, how was one to move out of Afganistan in an orderly fashion? Surely it wasn't to bypass the goverment that was there and negotiate directly with the enemies that said goverment was established to counter? I guess I missed that chapter in art of the deal. Previous administration hamstrung ground work already laid out.
But no matter who would be in office, don't think that transfer would be smooth. It was definitely going to be a mess. One of these threads has already covered it. Search for failure of intelligence apparatus.

Now Biden is doing the same thing again. Instead of placing the sanctions on Russia first ( which Germany probably wouldn't go along with ) he waits for Putin to make the first move. When a reporter from Fox asked Biden, "why are you waiting for Putin to make the first move", he called her a moron. Now you can't turn on the news without people coming out of the wood work, some in his own party, asking why are we waiting and giving Putin the first move.
No matter what happens here, I am 100% sure, Biden will fuck it up and if Putin moves and Germany flat out refuses to co-operate with sanctions, Biden will have to explain why we should stay in NATO when the future of the world will be decided in the Pacific/ Asia..... China!
Just heard today that Germany will not only not send military equipment to Ukraine, no military equipment will be allowed to be moved across German territory towards Ukraine.
Anybody that can't read those tea leaves, ain't paying attention. I'll be happy to apologize if I get this wrong. Don't think I will though.
