I will support Biden if he runs!!!

Not because he's a Democrat - it's not a political them against us.

But it still needs to be discussed.

It's the way things go down that worry me.

Look - the way the Biden Team didn't stand up for itself
when it got out of Afghanistan.

Obama said we would pull out by 2014.

The Inspector General showed that the US wasted billions
and made the situation for the people in Afghanistan worse
since a lot of the money ended up supporting the Taliban
through Pakistan.

Biden got it right by ending it immediately.
Our military people did an incredible heroic job
considering the abrupt decision which I believe
was the correct one!

War war war - from the Russion invasion (of Afghanistan) to the Taliban,
there were serious mistakes (from geopolitical factions all around) from the get-go.

It's a big bag of wrong. Yet Biden ended it, and he
deserves credit for removing the US Military from Afghanistan!

What I don't support is the way it was portrayed.

And look, the people who assisted the US, and are on the
Taliban's hitlist need to have major priority to getting out
and becoming US citizens if this is what they choose to do.


I believe the Biden Administration is still working to make this happen.
And they should say it, as well as demonstrate this.


You have to compel the electorate on both sides

of the isle

when you lead.
