Biden Their Time

 

One thing about the American withdrawal from Afghanistan strikes me as insane. But I see no one else commenting on it.

Before and since the pullout. Biden and his people were saying they expected the Afghan army to hold out for another nine months. 

But if it was clear enough to them that the country was likely to fall in nine months, wouldn’t it have been clear to the Afghans? And if you are going to lose in nine months, why would anyone continue fighting? You would be risking death for nothing, and ensuring the Taliban would see you as an enemy once they came to power.

Accordingly, the idea that the Afghan army could or would keep fighting for nine months was always delusional, and obviously delusional. Yet Biden and his team made policy based on it. Only on such an assumption did it make sense to leave so many American civilians in country.

This is the sort of self-serving delusion that is typical of a narcissist. Biden is not rational.
