Biden has turned out to be worse than European fears of Trump

 Washington Examiner:

'Greatest debacle that NATO has seen’: Biden stuns allies with Afghanistan mistakes expected of Trump 

President Joe Biden’s chaotic exit from Afghanistan has sent a shiver of frustration and bewilderment through allies at home and abroad who regarded his inauguration as a break from former President Donald Trump’s oft-haphazard approach to foreign policy.

...

German politician Armin Laschet, the heir-apparent to outgoing German Chancellor Angela Merkel, described the situation even more harshly.

“This is the greatest debacle that NATO has seen since its foundation, and it is an epochal change that we are facing,” he said this week.

That’s the kind of criticism European officials might have expected Trump to earn rather than Biden, given the former president described the alliance as “obsolete” during his campaign to win the White House in 2016. NATO officials and European leaders heaved a sigh of relief when Biden defeated Trump. Still, they learned with respect to Afghanistan that Biden would be “much more friendly” than Trump, as one official put it — but not any more deferential to European views.

“At the moment when the Biden administration took over earlier this year, most of the European allies, they preferred to keep a very limited military presence,” the European official told the Washington Examiner. “The Biden administration decided that they wanted to complete the withdrawal ... They were willing to talk to allies, to listen to them, but the decision was still their decision.”

...

 Ricketts continued: “The Afghanistan operation was always going to end sometime. It was never going to go on forever. But the manner in which it’s been done has been humiliating and damaging to NATO.”

...

The Europeans are probably not the only ones dismayed by Biden's actions.  In the US the media has tried to cover up the anger with Biden's terrible border policies, but it can't cover up the dismay at his losing Afghanistan to a bunch of Islamist weirdoes.

So, we're just trusting the Taliban not to kill Americans now?

That sounds a lot like trusting the Nazis in World War II.
