If tRump had been reelected, the withdrawal would have been in May, and would have been just as disastrous, most likely even worse, as everything tRump did was a failure. You forget how your orange hero suddenly, without warning, pulled our troops out of Syria and left our Kurdish allies at the mercy of the Turkish army. Biden could have, maybe, managed the withdrawal better, but the clear and unequivocal fact is this - it was negotiated and agreed to by tRump, in one of the worst deals every made. This was tRump's withdrawal, just as the war was Bush's war. Biden had few options, but it is really easy for RWNJs to put it all on him. Easy, and disingenuous. Phony as the billions of three dollar bills we dumped in that shithole country.
