Afghanistan On The Brink.
The Taliban have seized control of major cities and are poised to return to power after 20 years. (NY Times)
The Biden Administration withdrew from Afghanistan in what has been questions as a hasty retreat by critics of the Administration. I don’t now why we withdrew now or how that will accomplish our foreign policy objectives int the region. What is clear is the quick Taliban power coup that filled the power vacuum left in our wake. The country will now be overrun by a terrorist organization that is an avowed enemy of America. Why did we withdraw? Now? I would like a clearer policy objective to emanate from the White House further explaining the evacuation.
