and i think it s important for others to know that we re going to have a very significant debate in the united states about how to deal with the belligerent attitude china is demonstrating, notjust in the military field, but in politics and economic matters, as well. i said in my book, published injune of 2020, not knowing what would happen that if in fact there was a deal with the taliban, whatever administration carried it out, it would still be trump s fault. but the idea that biden was hamstrung by what trump had done is laughable, too. trump quite correctly withdrew from the 2015 iran nuclear deal that hasn t stopped biden trying to get back into it. it hasn t stopped biden from acquiescing to the nord stream ii pipeline i could go on at some length here. they re both wrong they were both wrong to think that american military forces should have been withdrawn from afghanistan, and sadly, i m afraid we will all pay for it for quite some time to come.
