Afghanistan worked against putin, worked against russia in this respect. if the people that were doing intel for russia followed joe biden closely enough they would have known he was going to withdraw from afghanistan, and you could go back and see statements starting in 2009. he was out. so to say, wait a second, he is backing out of afghanistan because he is weak is a fundamental misreading of it. the political blowback in america actually made it even less likely that biden could afford to be seen as weak again. >> right. >> so biden has actually had to appear more muscular, have a more mus...
