Indeed, anyone who knew anything about the border or Afghanistan warned what would h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>en.<\/p>\n<p>The debacles haven\u2019t been the product of forces beyond Biden\u2019s control. Events didn\u2019t take a hand \u2014 he did. These are man-made disasters.<\/p>\n<p>Throw on top the crime wave sweeping US cities that is a product of the left\u2019s \u00adenthusiasm for fashionable anti-cop sentiments, and the picture is of a Democratic Party that is unable to maintain order or \u00adrationally calculate the downside consequences of its rhetoric and policies.<\/p>\n<p>One hallmark of the Biden approach has been laughably false assurances. He maintained at a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> conference last March that there was nothing unusual going on at the border, when the historic surge had already begun. Only last month, he confidently predicted that there would be no dramatic rooftop evacuations from Kabul, when a rapid collapse of the Afghan government was \u00adalways a distinct possibility.<\/p>\n<p>Then there are the ineffectual warnings. Biden officials have repeatedly told \u00admigrants to stop coming to the US border, when they have every incentive to continue to do so, and his representatives tsk-tsked the Taliban about sweeping to power by force \u2014 something the Islamists have fought to do for 20 years \u2014 because it would supposedly harm the group\u2019s international image.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Afghanistan-19.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Hundreds of people run alongside a U.S. Air Force C-17 transport plane as it moves down a runway  of the international airport, in Kabul, Afghanistan, Monday, Aug. 16. 2021\" class=\"wp-image-19148919\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Afghanistan-19.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Afghanistan-19.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Afghanistan-19.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Hundreds of people run alongside a U.S. Air Force C-17 transport plane as it moves down a runway of the international airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, Monday, Aug. 16. 2021.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Verified UGC via AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And, finally, the rank blame-shifting. Biden\u2019s team has outlandishly tried to argue that former President Donald Trump somehow created the conditions for the border spinning out of control, when the truth is that Trump, after false starts, figured out how to get a handle on it. Biden points the finger at Trump, too, on Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>Here, he has more of a case \u2014 the so-called peace deal that Trump cut with the Taliban was a travesty that undercut the Afghan government. But nothing forced Biden, who has happily reversed field on most Trump policies, to abide by an agreement that the Taliban violated from the outset or to execute a withdrawal that kneecapped the Afghan army in the midst of fighting season and a gathering Taliban \u00adoffensive.<\/p>\n<p>He was the one whose exit denied the \u00adAfghan army the US air support and logistics it had always depended on, who left without securing a nearby base in the \u00adregion, who didn\u2019t care enough about \u00adAfghan allies who had risked their lives for us to ensure that they could get out of the country, who sent a message of abandonment that was a blow to Afghan morale from the top all the way down.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/AP21227747360752-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Taliban fighters take control of Afghan presidential palace after the Afghan President Ashraf Ghani fled the country, in Kabul, Afghanistan, Sunday, Aug. 15, 2021\" class=\"wp-image-19148960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/AP21227747360752-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/AP21227747360752-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/AP21227747360752-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Taliban fighters take control of Afghan presidential palace in Kabul, Afghanistan, Sunday, Aug. 15, 2021.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP Photo\/Zabi Karimi<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s a particularly galling Biden rhetorical move to use the catastrophic failure of the Afghan forces that he helped bring about to insist that his decision to leave was the only responsible one. He has gone from claiming we could safely leave because the Afghan \u00adsecurity forces would do just fine on their own, to arguing we had no choice but to get out because they couldn\u2019t manage without us.<\/p>\n<p>Both at the border and in Afghanistan, Biden merely had to keep in place what he inherited to sustain success or at least avoid disaster. On the border, Trump\u2019s pandemic-era controls and his agreements with Mexico and Central-American countries were sensible and tested. Afghanistan was more difficult, but with some determination and finesse, Biden could have maintained the minimal US commitment that had forestalled a Taliban takeover for years.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, in both cases, he quite literally chose chaos.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
