We stayed in Iraq, keeping democracy in control. We left Afghanistan to the Taliban and that encouraged Russia to invade Ukraine, which now looks like we will be there indefinitely. We let the Taliban win, which led Putin to believe that since they were better than the Taliban, they would win too. In Afghanistan we were not on the verge of a nuclear WWIII. Now we are.Are you saying that delaying the much earlier Trump agreed "surrender date" from May 1 to Sept 11 was too fast? What do you think would have happend on May1? Same thing. What about May 1 the next year? Same thing. Are you saying you wanted to stay in Afghanistan indefinately?
