Biden’s presentation was a gross distortion of the facts. The U.S. suffered no losses over the past 18 months. The choice was between more of that and squandering everything U.S. forces in Afghanistan accomplished over the past twenty years. Caroline Glick;Israel

Joe Biden's Catastrophic Judgment - CarolineGlick.com (Israel) ..."In the last two years of the Trump administration, Trump reduced the number of U.S. forces in Afghanistan from 15,000 to 2,500, without inducing panic or emboldening the Taliban. He quietly evacuated U.S. civilians again without inducing panic or demoralization.
"Biden in contrast, removed the military forces without giving the Afghan government or military a heads-up, demoralizing them. He and his advisors repeatedly said that there was no reason to fear a Taliban takeover, so at-risk civilians had little sense of the urgency of the situation or the need to leave the country as quickly as possible.
"In a conversation with Israel Hayom, a former senior Trump administration official noted as well that unlike Biden, Trump was willing to listen to argument, and change his positions to align them with the situation on the ground when necessary."...
Phyllis Chesler (phyllis-chesler.com) ..."It’s Biden’s war now. He has shamed and dishonored our country in a breathtaking way. He brought it on himself, on our NATO allies, and on all the Afghans who came to believe in Western post-Enlightenment values. Biden shut the airports down and left military equipment behind before the very last soldier, the very last Afghan ally, dissident, gay, feminist were safely—very safely out. Biden (his character, his flaws, his stubbornness), his administration, and whoever is pulling their strings are to blame."...
Brazil;Joe Biden’s Massive Mistake in Afghanistan..."Why was the enormity of the events in Afghanistan produced by so many serial errors? Ryan Crocker, ambassador to Afghanistan under the Obama administration, in which Biden served as vice president, wrote, “There is one overarching answer: our lack of strategic patience at critical moments, including from President Biden. It has damaged our alliances, emboldened our adversaries and increased the risk to our own security. It has also flouted 20 years of work and sacrifice.' ”

Afghanistan US retreat: Implications for Taiwan | The Manila Times ..."Kurt Campbell, US coordinator for Asia-Pacific Affairs, made it clear in early July that the United States" does not support Taiwan's independence." This is the first time that the Biden administration has publicly expressed its position on the Taiwan independence issue. The United States keeps a distance from "Taiwan independence," and will not directly engage with China. It has also shown to its global allies that it will not return to its failed military interventionism. This is already the United States' national policy to shape its future from failure."
Four US mistakes lead to bankruptcies (iol.co.za) ..."The defeat in Afghanistan and passing the buck to the Afghan government dealt the reputation of the US government a double blow. All US media are criticising this troop withdrawal drama. It is believed that not only does it show the poor management of the Biden Administration, but it also shows that America will never build a functioning nation."...
