    The worst part of all this is Trump set up the conditions for Abbey Gate. By the time Biden took office there wasn’t anything he could do short of throwing a couple infantry divisions back into the Afghanistan and telling everyone to leave right away because the ANA wouldn’t hold. At which point he needs more infantry divisions because that announcement would create chaos in the country. And that presupposes they successfully figure out just how badly the Afghan National Army’s readiness was misreported and they get honest reporting from their contractors about the loyalty of the governors, after 4 years of replacing anyone who didn’t report good things.

    Trump is the worst kind of grifter, he killed that man and told his family that it was Biden’s fault because Biden got stuck with Trump’s grenade after Trump pulled the pin.
