Biden making out the only choice was between a prolonged bloody conflict and this **** up is totally false, they could have maintained a modest presence there just the same way they still have a presence in South Korea without being involved in war there. That speech last night was one of the most shameful a president has ever made - no mention of the sacrifices made by Afghans, no sympathy for their plight, no acknowledgement of the efforts made by American allies and other countries. Just a lot of passing the buck and blaming everyone else. Then to top it all off he refuses to take any questions and then goes straight back to Camp David to continue his holiday!

When I criticised trump leaving the Kurds exposed to Turkey, you made a weird comment about thinking I was against middle east intervention. Now Biden has done his, you're suddenly against leaving our allies who've sacrificed for us. I've been consistent in being against exposing the people that have worked with us, but I'm finding your 180 a bit dizzying tbh.

All the things you found shameful about Biden you had no issue with trump, and it's really difficult, because I didn't put you in that category of right winger, but here we are.

Even now, you show absolutely zero awareness for the motions put in place by Trump and Pompeo.
