Biden Pulled Out Too Quickly: That's What She Said

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-s-afghanistan-exit-raises-question...

I'm just learning all of this now, putting this all together in my mind. If someone were to write a synopsis, or headline, it would be a 'that's what she said' moment. Another way of describing it, not by me, is this could be a 'Saigon moment'. I could not conceive of what happened in the 70s anymore than I can now.

There is so much we cannot know, but if I am to assess from what little I read, the prez doesn't consult to get input from others (generals). I wonder if he'd be more patient/considerate as a younger man...that a lot of civilian lives are at stake, or that NATO is only there because of US presence and pulled up the stakes as fast as waning commitment of the Commander-in-Chief? And, did we give peace a chance?

Not trying to be critical of a political leader but the lack of bureaucracy, when there's so much that's not needed for progress in Washington and around the world. Anyway, this rests on him, however it plays out. It's actual lives that are at stake foremost, however, let alone what could happen to 'democracy' (and safety of young women) over there.

I don't know. My gut reaction. My life moves on, as with anything else I'm delivered as news. Not getting any smarter, just wise.

The trail leads back to a post 2020 Election Trump Administration decision to leave a little present  on the doorstep of the incoming President to deal with:
