The foreign affairs thread

[SunnySide]

Russia is going to Russia.

President Biden cancelling Trumps withdrawl order or not in Afghanistan wouldnt change what Russia is doing now. Probably embolden Russia even more bc we would be having an active fight with Taliban and not the "cease fire" stuff, fox news would be hammering President Biden for every death saying he shouldnt have ripped up Trumps withdrawl.

Goes forward with withdrawl = weak and invites Putin
Cancels withdrawl = war monger with blood on his hands, foreing intervention only creates foreign conflict blah blah blah

Damned if you do, damned if you dont.

Your political opponents and their base will fault you either way you go.

Russia is going to Russia. China is going to China. Iran is going Iran.

Same cycle for decades now it seems.

Annoying rashes that come and go.
