Which is more humiliating; America's leaders or the mal-educated voters who select them?

Biden claims he had much support for pullout from our allies. Let's see. 

 The United States is in a precarious position, disdained by our allies and unable to strike fear into our adversaries. Despite being assured that was going to be the result of Trump’s presidency by the same mediocre experts who never get anything right, the country came out of his four years stronger and more respected around the globe. It’s only taken seven months for Biden to tear all that down.


UK Parliament Holds Joe Biden in Contempt and the Details Are Disturbing  "The embarrassment on the world stage continues under Joe Biden. Following the total collapse of Afghanistan and while in the midst of an ongoing, dangerously chaotic evacuation, the UK Parliament has voted to hold the President of the United States in contempt. That came after several impassioned denunciations on the floor that were covered by RedState previously.". .  

Biden Got Very Confused During One Part of Interview with Stephanopoulos...And ABC Edited It Out  "ABC’s George Stephanopoulos has released the full transcript of his interview with President Biden and one response from the commander in chief is raising concern about his mental acuity."... 

Appalling: Biden Scrapped Trump Afghanistan Rescue Plan – PJ Media  ..."By closing Bagram Air Base first, Biden shut down America’s last and best military base and logistical center in Afghanistan, removing any ability to respond quickly and effectively. Closing Bagram first also sent a message to the Afghan national government and the army we spent 20 years building up: America is bugging out and you’re on your own."  ...

"Lest you think that Biden might be losing sleep because his conscience is bothering him, let me finish with this golden oldie, from the last time Biden wanted to bug out early:

In 2010, Biden reportedly told Richard Holbrooke, then Obama’s special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, that the US had to leave Afghanistan regardless of the cost for the Afghan people.According to Holbrooke, when Biden was asked about America’s obligation to maintain their presence in Afghanistan to protect vulnerable civilians, he scornfully replied by referencing the US exit from southeast Asia in 1973. 'F*** that, we don’t have to worry about that. We did it in Vietnam, Nixon and Kissinger got away with it.’
British and French troops are going out into Kabul to rescue their citizens while the US sticks to the airport – HotAir One California Democrat made it explicit during an interview with CNN, “There is no way the American military should use military force to go to someone’s house or some building somewhere to extract people.” He added, “To provide safe passage from parts of a huge city? No way—not sensible.”

"But it turns out the British and the French are doing exactly that. Both have sent in troops that are going out into the city to get their citizens and escort them back to the safety of the airport:" . . .

Afghanistan Withdrawal: Biden Loses Credibility | National Review  "Joe Biden did to himself what his opponents couldn’t — shredded his own credibility in a high-profile, hugely consequential matter that won’t be forgotten.
"No memos from the desk of Donald J. Trump, no RNC talking points, no right-wing Twitter memes or excoriating floor speeches by Republican senators possibly could have had the effect on Biden of Biden himself selling and defending his Afghanistan policy in terms instantly discredited by unforgettable and horrifying images on the ground this week.
"The fate of Biden’s presidency might now depend on whether Taliban commanders decide to transform an ongoing evacuation crisis in Kabul into an explicit hostage crisis.". . .
