Could we just brush up on history, please? Remember that the Soviet Union spent ten years trying to crush an Islamic insurgence in Afghanistan? That really ended well for them, didn’t it?
So, their Deciders think it will end up better for them because — of what, exactly? When you consider that the USA supported the Taliban in Afghanistan to the tune of more than 1 billion dollars when they were fighting Russia, do you want bet that Russia’s not been providing them a little under the table help, when they were shooting at the US? What goes around comes around. Afghanistan and Iraq are a slippery slope to disaster for anybody foolish enough to attack them. The US military couldn’t even protect their own troops inside their own bases, and yet they went house to house helping one sect of Shiia kill another sect? When Americans can’t tell a Shia from a Sunni? Let alone one Shia from another! The civil war was going to take America down with it. The “New Way Forward” was just another name for deeper into the quagmire. Biden is the leader who can got them out of there, before it was too late?

On March 31, standing in the Oval Office, Trump complained to reporters that he was receiving “93% bad publicity.” Rather than consider that the publicity might reflect …
