The Biden administration is under scrutiny from international allies and adversaries over Afghanistan’s fast and furious descent into chaos ahead of the full exit of U.S. troops. The Taliban’s quick advance across the country and the impotence of Afghan security forces is putting into stark relief the futile cost of two decades of U.S. and international engagement. U.S. officials are stressing their commitment to Afghanistan’s survival and the safeguarding of hard-won freedoms for women, girls and minorities, who suffered some of the most brutal oppression under Taliban rule. They also say they are determined to ensure al Qaeda is not

Faltering? LOL!
With Traitor Joe at the helm, faltering is the BEST he ever does. Everything else is worse.

We faltered a long time ago. Trump made some strides in rebuilding the confidence of our allies, but in less than 6 months Xiden has completely destroyed that, and more.

You mean like falling upstairs 3 times on a single staircase?
What could be the reason?

All going according to plan. If there are some not aware of this, I suggest digging, learning and responding accordingly.

The US FALTERED on the world stage when they allowed communists to steal the American election. US failure to now safeguard the freedoms for Afghan females & minorities shows that the lowest common denominator in the world is barbarism and that we need look no further than the genocidal Afghans and the genocidal Communist Chinese to see a possible future. Ya think that those who planned the D-Day invasion would have failed in eliminating the barbaric Taliban back then?

The liberal Democrats in the USA, as the current majority political party, are so politically correct and weak that it is impossible for them to conduct a war using total war strategies and tactics designed to annihilate a foreign enemy, and instead always demand that limited war strategies, tactics, and rules of engagement be used to transform places like Afghanistan into Vermont like places an impossible task that has never worked, and that have no chance of defeating a brutal enemy like the Islamist based primitive Taliban in Afghanistan where constant warfare has been ongoing for hundreds of years. It has been like that with the Democrats since the Second World War.

Maybe they will give him a last minute win, to make him look strong and smart.

Biden is a coward. He won't even own up to this or the horrific mess he made of the border.

We never had a chance, unless we killed every Afghani.
We should be concerned that Gibberish Jo's handlers might get ua caught up in Ethiopia, to show our strength.

The Biden Bug-Out. At least it’s alliterative.

Even if it were time to withdraw, it could have been done without leaving billions in military materiel to our enemies. This is a rout, a humiliation on the world stage, and it is on the head of Joe Beijing.

All these disasters are going to take a toll on Biden's health. Look for his accelerated decline and a shorter leash held by his handlers.
