That impression is re inforced on how the US army withdrew from Afghanistan.

It is not so much in logistics or the parade but on how the orgy of arab and islam affiliated media covered the event along with the booms here and there.
It could be vultures all over the place after them , instead it was thousands of afghan civilians and nearly thousands of points to make their point with a boom.

The army could have left orderly in less than a month depending on size and logistics yet in all silence , i still can not fully disagree a deal with this taliban leadership he made contact with.

We could split in all silence and nobody would know the difference.
Only a small force easy to be picked up by a chopper after shaking hands maybe for u name the propaganda.

Guys from D.C. still scream about Bagram base and i do not blame them.

Should a US withdrawal not be well observed in that manner we may not be talking about Ukraine right now.

In that sense he made a big mistake and he can not allow Ukraine to fall in Russian Hands or out of his hands , it is also a personal challenge and what the man will record in his memoirs for future generations and the impact on American Morale long term.
