    You know thinking about his answer, he didn’t care about Afghanistan not falling. All he “cared” about was Americans not dieing, which didn’t work anyway because he telegraphed everything. He served up Afghanistan on a platter.

      I guaran-goddamn-tee he’d feed a thousand American soldiers to Rottweilers if it would get him more power and fewer consequences for his venality. All he wanted was to sabotage Biden. Nothing more.

        That’s true too. You can see it in the timing so that it would happen right at the start of Biden’s term. If it went well, Trump could take the credit. If it went bad, then it’s Biden’s fault.

          It’s always been the right’s strongest play: sabotage the ship on the way out. It works especially well economically because of the lag time between policy and impact.
