It’s really world class at distracting from the terminal climate crisis report we just got the other day.
The issue with using "terminal" climate crisis is that when faced with a terminal diagnosis, many people opt for quality of life over quantity.

If covid has taught us anything it's that we have zero ability to address climate change coherently and probably shouldn't worry about it that much.

Biden made the call, and he had to know it wasn't going to be good for his political future. He'll be in front of a mic soon taking ownership for his decisions.
I've seen this take a lot. Love to know how you'd feel if you were trying to get a flight out of Kabul right now.
I don't mean to exonerate Biden on the whole process. There was a super miscalculation on how well the Afghans were going to step up.

The media's coverage of the Trump peace deal that set all this in motion over the last year didnt help either.

No, it's Dick Proenneke! If you've never seen the PBS documentary about him, it is worth the watch.

An Afghanistan withdrawal was never going to end well. How could he have thought otherwise?

Would this have gone any differently if it was done like … secretly? Instead of announced as front page news?

My understanding is that last year Trump negotiated a May 2021 completion date so it's not like Sleepy could undo that and not restart the war.
