Could this Taiwan situation have been the impetus for the Afghan Skedaddle?
That’s what I’m wondering. Taiwan is much more important to our well-being than Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, etc.
“Could this Taiwan situation have been the impetus for the Afghan Skedaddle?”
I don’t think it explains why we couldn’t leave 2,500 troops there with another 500-1,000 NATO troops & allied forces transiting through as necessary.
The skedaddle was totally on Biden. He wanted glory & a medal for “ending the war”. He’s an idiot.
Great question!
The skedaddle was still singularly inept and feckless, not to mention bloody. Taiwan would have been much safer if it had been competently done, impetus or no.
