@MikeImBack @FLGLchicago @augieray That's interesting. I'm not entirely sure that's the case; the withdrawal agreement had already been negotiated by the previous administration. However, an adamant warmonger could have breached the agreement and kept troops in Afghanistan, so not doing that is definitely a point in the Biden administration's favour.
@MikeImBack @FLGLchicago @augieray I do think that Biden is part of the 20th century interventionist consensus in Washington politics. He is comfortable with using military power, directly and indirectly. As I mentioned in another thread, he voted for every major war since Vietnam, with the exception of the secret contra warfare, which again, is a point in his favour.
