WNU Editor: Patrick J. Buchanan op-ed is here .... Has Biden's End to the 'Forever War' Forever Crippled His Foreign Policy? (CNS News).
On a personal note. My father was a big fan of Pat Buchanan. He always enjoyed hearing Buchanan talk on why the U.S. should not get involved in foreign wars that have nothing to do with its national security interests.

I seems to me that Buchanan thinks this problem Biden has is merely just political and has to do with optics. In other words, I think he's downplaying Biden's incompetence. He should note the blowback Biden is receiving from NATO countries, because of the damage Biden caused to these relationships and NATO itself. Its becoming very apparent that this is what happens when you have an ideological administration making decisions based on politics and not intelligence.
Politics and intelligence are the same thing to these guys Nico, expect no improvement.
Nico has essentially nailed it. They make decisions based upon ideology which essentially means making decisions based upon how we wish things are or hope they are rather than how they really are.
When a private organization who needs to actually generate income and profits in order to remain viable, it will end badly and very quickly. When governments do this, it will still end badly even though it may take longer.
It's very important that the Afghan withdrawal is objectively studied and we learn from this. The botched execution of something this basic simply shouldn't happen.
We could be at war with China, Russia, or both of them and some combination of their allies at anytime. If we're unable to execute a basic redeployment such as this, doing something extremely complex like confronting major world powers and winning on the battlefield is going to problematic at best.
Due in large part to poor leadership there's a strong probability that we currently on the level militarily of Russia, China, or their allies. Since we're likely going to be at war with either or both of them soon, it's vital that we fix our weaknesses to ensure we are on their level when should this military confrontation take place. Part of this obviously means studying Afghanistan beginning with the sloppy withdrawal and purging the failed leaders.
We could be at war with China, Russia, or both of them and some combination of their allies at anytime.
Liar and a dumbass one at that.
