    The problem with SA is this, they are necessary evil. Once Iran turned into what it is now, the west had to find a partner and that was SA. The royal family loves the wests money, the people not so much.
    The big problem lies when Iran makes a nuclear weapon. That will start an arms race across the middle east with dire consequences.
    Biden's fuck up in Afghanistan is the only the beginning. He has set back foriegn policy and national security years if not decades. We are not ready for a war, but we will probably be in one within the next few years, and it will be ugly.

    What should Biden have done? Maybe the civilians should have........ LEFT SOONER. Not sat there doing business/doctors without borders.

    Yes, I posted about a son of one of my clients.
    They've had over a year to make arrangements, pack, and get out.
    Problem was/is, they were making too much money and they let their greed overcome any sense they had.

    Thinking of the soldiers dead, so close to going home makes me so sad, what an awful waste of lives.
    Their families will be shattered.
    Nobody ever wins a war.

    I'm not talking Israel. Everybody knows they have nukes. I'm talking about countries like Iran, SA, Quatar, Yemen. They don't need to produce a lot. Just a few. Nobody thought India and Pakistan would have them either, but yet they do.

    Oh I agree. They should have started drawing down when Trump signed the agreement. Biden should have also stuck to the May 1 deadline, but he didn't. When he did that, it through everything vinto a vacum. The TB no longer abided by the agreement because we broke it. When that happened State dept and .Mil should have started making arrangements but they didn't and now you have what you have now.

    I cannot understand that the Americans did not learn anything from the Russian defeat in Afghanistan.
    Anyway their politicians have never been famous for their brains.
