TRUMP REACTS ON THE FALL OF KABUL, AFGHANISTAN.

TRUMP REACTS ON THE FALL OF KABUL, AFGHANISTAN. Statement by Donald J. Trump - 45th President of the United States of America Joe Biden gets it wrong every time on foreign policy, and many other issues. Everyone knew he couldn’t handle the pressure. Even Obama’s Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, said as much.  He ran out of Afghanistan instead of following the plan our Administration left for him—a plan that protected our people and our property, and ensured the Taliban would never dream of taking our Embassy or providing a base for new attacks against America. The withdrawal would be guided by facts on the ground. After I took out ISIS, I established a credible deterrent. That deterrent is now gone.

This is complete failure through weakness, incompetence, and total strategic incoherence.
