funny how he had no problem going against damn near everything trump ever did, but in this instance, suddenly he is absolutely powerless to change course

Biden says he bears ‘zero responsibility' for Afghanistan debacle
Nonsense. Trump's main criticism of Biden this spring is that he wasn't withdrawing fast enough. Trump says he had everything "set up" for us to get out.

This is horrible and Biden is to blame but it's not like Trump was claiming that it was a mistake to leave Afghanistan. Quite the contrary. He was begging for credit for the withdrawal.

Where are the oil rich Arab countries? And why are they not helping their fellow Muslims?

I would prefer the taliban not take over Pakistan's nukes.

It only took the taliban damn near a few days to take over the whole country
It helped that Trump released the current Taliban leader and 5,000 fighters.

Huh?
I am foreshadowing the inevitable push to go back in. Splashing all this Taliban stuff in the news is egging us to return. Someone wants to get paid.
