    ABC NEWS ANALYSIS

    Retired Rear Adm. Mark Montgomery, now senior director of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies' Center on Cyber and Technology Innovation, says what he called Biden's myopic approach resulted in the president shutting out critical warnings.

    "In the face of significant pushback from the senior military advisers, he overrode all their concerns and recommendations, and executed an absolutely catastrophically bad policy," he argued in an interview with ABC News.

    Bidens massive failures in Afghanistan has caused US allies to second guess their relationship to America in the presence of so many Biden debacles.

    Debacle Number1
    After President Trump evacuates 13,000 troops and 3 bases, with only 2500 soldiers and one base left with 8 months to do so (no later than May,) Biden breaks the agreement with the Taliban to evacuate by 9/11giving no reasons why.
    But we do know why. A 9/11 photo op risking American lives for his idiotic decision.

    Debacle Number2
    The Taliban threatens the US if they don't evacuate per the agreement they would bring their fighters out of retreat and take over Afghanistan

    Debacle Number 3
    Biden ignored the Taliban threat and continued with his out by Sept 11 date

    Debacle Number 4
    May 1st 2021, The Taliban starts their seizure of Afghanistan. Biden ignores it

    Debacle Number 5
    July 6, 2021, Biden orders the evacuation of our only air support base before evacuating our troops, embassy, and American citizens

    Debacle Number 6
    August 14, 2021
    The advancing Taliban army Biden ignored takes over the city of Kabul and Biden orders the evacuation of the embassy and troops to the airport leaving American citizens behind

    Debacle Number 7
    Biden goes into hiding for 4 days refusing to take any calls from our allies who have citizens at risk in Kabul and know nothing of the American orders to evacuate in the middle of the night. Later the UK Parliament holds Biden in contempt for his cowardice.

    Debacle Number 8
    August 18, 2021
    Biden comes out of hiding for the first time while American lives are trapped behind enemy lines and does an 8 minute speech on Covid vaccinations. Then walks off the stage refusing to take question

    Debacle Number 9
    Biden orders our troops to not go in to Kabul to get our citizens out. Instead he tells the Americans trapped they have to get to the airport on their own while Germany, France, Britain, and the Dutch send in their special forces and evacuate over 500 of their people.

    Debacle Number 10
    Biden declared the reason he didn't evacuate 30 days earlier and his answer was he wasn't going to evacuate during a civil war. Well WTF did he just do? 30 days prior there wasn't any civil war going on in Kabul.

    Debacle Number 11
    Biden’s Afghan idiocy left US troops relying on their 20-year enemies in the Taliban to secure the evacuation and effectively led to the deaths of 13 US troops in a suicide bombing

    Debacle Number 12
    Biden checking his watch each time one of the 13 fallen soldiers casket passes by.

    Bidens cowardice, incompetence, and ignorant response to our fallen soldiers will never be forgotten.

    And Biden left behind billions of dollars in weapons and military equipment. Some of those weapons are now being used against Israel, other equipment is being reverse engineered by China. Biden even made our troops leave their service dogs behind. What a dickhead. Is it any wonder why military recruitment is so low and not meeting quotas?

    Since he evacuated 13,000 troops and 3 bases without incident, it speaks for itself.
    All Biden had to do is evacuate the last 2500 by May.
    But that was much too complicated for Bidens dementia ridden brain

    May 1st is about 100 days after Biden was inaugurated. Plenty of time to plan for the evacuation.. assuming any planning was needed. Wouldn't the military be fully prepared to evacuate on time?

    Biden wanted to take all the credit for what Trump had already achieved so he rescheduled the evacuation to 9/11 for his photo op even though his own Pentagon told him not to.

    Funny how there is never a mention of the Iraq withdrawal which also happened under Biden

    Bribed Joe lost the confidence of the American People when he bugged out of Afghanistan and left American behind, under the control of the Taliban.

    That usually is how Democrats justify in their minds voting Democrat: “just imagine how much worse it’d be if the other guy were in charge!”

    Tale as old and stale as democracy

    I'll bet that Trump would note have left 100s of millions worth of military equipment that is now being used against us and available to be reverse engineered by China. Biden did more for China that their spies could have done.

    They always leave equipment. I bet trump would have made a huff and a puff and somebody actually knows something about something would have put him in line quietly, and nothing would have happened.

    Reverse engineered by China? That's a new one. Hilarious.

    Not hilarious at all. The Chinese get our high tech equipment and copy it, just like they ignore our patents and other high tech equipment. They have been doing it for years. We spend millions to develop the technology, and they get it for a limited amount of effort. There is nothing funny about that, especially when it is used against our personnel.

    And the Ukrainians. The $Millions Ukraine gave the Bribed Biden Crime Family is the best money Ukraine ever spent.
