Biden blames Trump for a decision that he alone made. Incredible cowardice from the barely-present resident of the Oval Office.

Biden could've left Afghanistan in proper order if he did it in May, like he was supposed to, with a proper plan that was already in place -- with a skeleton crew of Special Forces to take out the insurgents. Instead, Biden gave the Taliban months to build an army.

Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan only helps China gain complete and total access to the country's vast resources of rare earth metals that should've been available to the US and the rest of the Coalition.

Good job everyone.

Afghanistan has trillions worth of rare earth metals. Also untapped oil in the deserts between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Indeed, by 2050, the US expects to import more than 80 percent of petroleum from the region. Now China owns it.

Again, good job everyone. Awesome work.
