Is President Joe Biden prepared to preside over the worst U.S. strategic defeat since the fall of Saigon in 1975?
For that may be what’s at stake if Biden follows through on the 2020 peace deal with the Taliban to withdraw all U.S. forces from Afghanistan by May 1 — just two months from now.

Defeat Pakistan and you defeat The Taliban.
If the British had defeated France from 1777 through 1781, the American Revolutionaries would have lost.
Concept is simple. Tactically, it is very much harder. the problem disgustingly is that the American military political establishment is not even trying. I would date the establishment giving up to the end of the Second Battle of Swat. Obama's drone campaign in Pakistan were pinpricks that the Pakistanis allowed until little boy went back home to his beach front mansions.
After Swat 1, Swat 2, Obama's Fabulous Drone War, The Airlift of Evil, and catching Pakistani agents embedded in the Taliban since 2002 and the Biden's puppet masters are none the wiser.
