Third, they pulled out all the military and then moved to get the civilians - which then required them to bring the military back in. What sort of planning is that?
Several military leaders warned Biden and company that what they were doing was going to be a disaster and were ignored.
Pathetic lack of leadership and huge embarrassment to the US.
I shudder to think of what China, Russia, North Korea, and the various terrorists groups are planning after seeing this.
It does look like a deliberate show of incompetence, at a very senior level. Deliberate to what end?
