Until Sunday, Europe thought Joe Biden was an expert on foreign policy.Now, the American president’s decision to allow Afghanistan to collapse into the arms of the Taliban has European officials worried he has unwittingly accelerated what his predecessor Donald Trump started: the degradation of the Western alliance and everything it is supposed to stand for in the world.Across Europe, officials have reacted with a mix of disbelief and a sense of betrayal. Even those who cheered Biden’s election and believed he could ease the recent tensions in the transatlantic relationship said they regarded the withdrawal from Afghanistan as nothing short of a mistake of historic magnitude.
i'm sure glad "the adults are back in charge."

The US exit plan had no other better option
They had to evac at the stroke of midnight.If they had quit before that,the Taliban Tsunami would have come,much sooner.The aim was to surprise - and it sent a clear signal to Ghani,that it was EOD !
Securing Bagram would have required several more US soldiers vs Kabul airport.The US
aim was to save the human life of the soldiers - equipments can be manufactured again and again !
Choosing the funnel of the Kabul airport,was also a good option and the TINA option.The aim was to create a stampede and chaos,with women and babies under the light of the CNN crew ! The US evacd 100000 civilians from Kabul ! Who are these people ?
They were CIA,Int,Spies,US allies and moles,Blackwater and NATO Merecenaries !
So for the US,it was Mission accomplished !
There is 1 more reason to chose Kabul.If Taliban had shot down an aircraft in Kabul airport - it would close the airport to civilian and aid flights - which would be a PR and Logistics disaster, for Taliban.Bagram was always a fair target ! If you have multiple USAF landings and takeoff in Bagram,statistical probability of a hit by ISIS or Taliban - would be much higher !
Also the stampede drama,could not be played out at Bagram - as it is not a funnel !
Even leaving behind the equipment,is a sound option ! The aim of the US was to leave the Taliban,with tech and equip to run a united nation - so that there are NO safe zones,for Daesh and Qaeda ! That is Y the US is not supporting Masood, in Panjshir ! But if the Panjshir fighters hold out - and then spread the resistance - then the US might change its
stand ! As of now,they are watching the Taliban actions - ONLY ON QAEDA AND DAESH ! Panjshir is well stocked,for many months !
Although Pakistan SSG and PAF and drones are in Panjshir - the US and its lapdog (India) are MUM.There is nothing that the Indians can do now - as Taliban has sealed all the land borders.Afghanistan has NO ADS,and so,IAF can airdrop supplies to Masood - but the
Indian weasels will NOT ! They are petrified of what will happen,in Kashmir !
It is impossible to evac 10,000 four wheeled US army contraptions by land ! Even by air,it would be foolish,and would need a long time and massive airlifts - which at that time,would have become Taliban targets,and would have destroyed the morale of the ANA.
The stealth choppers could have been air evacd,but that would also have destroyed the morale,of the ANA.
The US had to keep the ANA moral up and running,till the last week,and save the lives of US citizens and US assets - which they did - successfully.
Taliban have used the US army armour and logistics,to take Panjshir capital - as the US expected and INTENDED ! So the US had held up its end of the bargain.The US is now waiting to see the Taliban actions on Qaeda and Daesh.Masood and his merry men,are safe in the mountains - for now,until the Taliban has its airforce.They are also waiting and watching for the Taliban capabilities,in nation building,and fissures with the Haqqanis - and so,is Satlin look alike,Rashid Dostum.
ALL IN ALL- IT IS A WIN-WIN-WIN-WIN-WIN !
WIN FOR TALIBAN
WIN FOR USA
WIN FOR MASOOD
WIN FOR PRC
WIN FOR PAKISTAN
ONLY LOSER IS INDIA - WHICH NEVER BELONGED TO AFGHANISTAN ! A NATION WHICH CANNOT MAKE TOILETS FOR ITS OWN SHOULD NOT POKE ITS NOSE INTO THE AFFAIRS OF OTHER NATIONS ! INDIA HAS NO LOCUS IN AFGHANISTAN ! dindooohindoo
