Biden's Afghanistan Explained

    After witnessing the Biden Administration's colossal disaster in Afghanistan, I have been in wonder at media commentators who project the possible shortcomings of the Democrats as a series of miscalculations.

The shortfall was not the lack of trying to do good policy.  The Biden Administration wanted America to fail.  Their thought processes were the following:

Trump's plan was to completely pull out of Afghanistan.  If the Democrats can leave Afghanistan in a bad way, then Trump will be blamed for having a bad agenda.

It doesn't take much thinking to conclude that Trump's Afghanistan policy: wouldn't have left a lot of vulnerable Americans behind, wouldn't have left behind thousands of Afghan allies who we promised refuge to because they helped us, wouldn't have left tens of billions worth of high-tech military equipment behind to be seized and used by our enemies, and, wouldn't have left intact American-built, operational military bases.

I wonder if we are going to start to hear the argument that America failed in Afghanistan because of the complete military pullout that was Trump's idea.
