The groundwork for the debacle in Afghanistan was laid by Donald Trump who claimed publicly he was going to solve the problem. He negotiated with the Taliban, had their leader released from prison in Pakistan and sent them back into Afghanistan with a piece of paper to take power. The fragile, democratic government in Kabul folded and the Taliban took over the country. The fledgeling army disintegrated. Biden's choice was to get out or continue fighting. He chose the former. Now Trump is going to solve the problem of Ukraine, negotiating with the Russians behind Ukraine's back. Like Chamberlain when he negotiated with Hitler, a piece of paper will be brandished, compromises will be made and Ukraine will be carved up at the expense of its people. With great courage its people confronted an invasion and held at bay an invading world power. Many of its sons lie in their graves. We pledged our support which will now count for zilch. Tyranny and naked aggression will have won. Who might Russia attack next? So much for the Great Negotiator. But who will have to pick up the pieces? America's word counts for zilch. Don't rely on it.
