“NEVER UNDERESTIMATE JOE’S ABILITY TO F*** THINGS UP”:

Joe Biden Promised To Leave Afghanistan. Has He Changed His Mind? “The Associated Press reported on Thursday that upwards of 650 U.S. troops will remain in Afghanistan, even after the so-called withdrawal is completed later this summer. The reasons for the change are confusion, as U.S. officials told the AP that troops will remain behind to provide security at the embassy, but also said they would be there as, ‘a more permanent force presence in the country.’”

Joe Biden’s Limited Iraq And Syria Strikes Won’t Stop Iran. “Such military actions reflect multiple decisions over the last several days: National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan presumably presented Biden with a multitude of decisions that included military strikes. When Biden picked these, the Pentagon then provided Biden with a range of options covering scope and targets. Biden chose an option that, in his mind, posed the least chance of escalation or Iraqi diplomatic opprobrium. In effect, Biden chose to prioritize symbolism over effectiveness.”
