"Biden Has Been On The Wrong Side Of Almost Every Foreign Policy And National Security Issue For The Last Four Decades"

So don't act surprised--about his general foreign-policy competence, that is.
“On a personal level is he a friendly guy, but he has empirically had poor judgment particularly on foreign policy...the examples are numerous."
The specific events in Afghanistan can reasonably surprise you--at least if you, like me, are pretty ignorant about such stuff.
People--including me--wanted an exit strategy, and to move more resolutely toward said exit. But I certainly didn't realize we were talking about an immediate collapse. I doubt many people did. 
Did the Biden administration? 
If they didn't, and if this comes as a surprise to even the majority of experts, then that's one thing.
But if this was widely foreseen and the administration should have known, then that's a different thing. 
I don't want to be unfair to Biden and the Dems. 
But this sure looks like yet another in a long list of major-league fuck-ups, and we're only about six months into what's...well...starting to look like it's gonna be a long four years.
Easy to kibbutz, of course.
