Afghanistan = Vietnam 2

 Hi All,

Question : how does a global super power with a defence budget and military as big as most other nation states combined, get to loose to a group of wackos with small fire arms in SUV's?  

Biden and indeed  Trump ,  decided to turn away and abandon Afghanistan and reset the clock back to the year 2001. All that money, all the lives and all the cost and that is it. The Taliban are back in charge, free to let in any terrorist organisations they want, because neither America or anyone else is going to interfere now. It seems that Biden - why isn't he getting the slack from the left in Europe and America over this that he deserves ? - is as if not more isolationist and 'America first' as Trump was, although Trump was vilified at home and abroad for it , but here we have it, a unilateral pull-out from a left wing President  in which the views of allies weren't taken into account, only domestic opinion polls. Not that I'm actually convinced Biden is really in charge, given his demented and deteriorating state, which again isn't really commented upon by the media.

This is typical hypocrisy by the American media and establishment elites, to criticise a GOP President, but glorify can't do anything wrong with a Democratic one,  but it begs  us to ponder : the American establishment think they are going to take on China in a war at some point, as China is deemed to be the big 'threat' to American Super -Powerdom',  to wit they are trying to get allies to help them out. But if it were me, I'd be looking at Afghanistan and thinking if they can't even crush these guys with no navy, no airforce, no tanks and are small in numbers,,... why join them in trying to take on a country of a billion people, on a continental sized land mass, who has a navy, air force and a big army ? I'd think nah. Try it yourself mate.
