Biden and the DC MIC cut-and-ran from Afganistan, because they had milked the “war on terror” for all it was worth, and with a huge new financial opportunity looming in Ukraine, they didn’t want the US citizenry distracted or thinking about the $Trillions that had been poured into Iraq and Afghanistan.
The failure of the administration is they are always doing the bare minimum to help Ukraine.
If in March they had immediately given what Ukraine needed (planes, helicopters, long range missiles). The war would be won by now.
Instead Biden’s incompetent team has forced Ukraine to fight a slow brutal war based on artillery and small arms.
Because that war will last much longer it will cost more than if we have given proper help at the beginning.
