How bad did Biden lose the Afghan war?

Lyndon Johnson(D) lost Vietnam.

Lyndon B. Johnson: As the President of the United States from 1963 to 1969, 
Johnson is often criticized for his handling of the war, particularly his 
decision to escalate U.S. involvement in 1965. His presidency saw a 
significant increase in U.S. troop deployment and casualties.

He and his administration wouldn't LET us win. 

Lyndon B. Johnson's decision not to allow the military to conduct a more 
aggressive campaign against the Viet Cong, and his imposition of troop 
ceilings and restrictive rules of engagement, are often cited as key factors 
that contributed to the ultimate outcome of the war.

In particular, Johnson's refusal to authorize a more robust military campaign, 
including airstrikes against North Vietnam and a more extensive use of ground 
troops, is often seen as a missed opportunity to potentially win the war or at 
least achieve a more favorable outcome.

Some historians and analysts argue that Johnson's constraints on the military, 
combined with his emphasis on "attrition" and "search and destroy" tactics, 
ultimately allowed the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army to wear down the 
U.S. military and achieve a strategic victory.

So, in that sense, one could argue that Johnson's decisions and actions, 
rather than Nixon's, were more directly related to the ultimate outcome of the 
war.

Harry Truman(D), the President of the United States, was criticized for his 
decision to intervene in the war, and for his handling of the conflict, 
particularly his decision to fire General Douglas MacArthur.

=====

Barack Obama(D): As the President of the United States from 2009 to 2017, 
Obama increased troop levels in Afghanistan, but also began a drawdown of 
forces in 2011. His administration's handling of the war has been criticized 
for being too cautious and for failing to provide a clear strategy for winning 
the conflict.

The withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan in August 2021, led by President 
Joe Biden(D), has been widely criticized as chaotic and poorly executed.

The rapid collapse of the Afghan government and the Taliban's swift takeover 
of the country has been attributed to various factors, including:

Biden's decision to withdraw all US troops: Despite warnings from military 
leaders and diplomats, Biden decided to withdraw all US troops from 
Afghanistan, leaving behind a fragile Afghan government and military.

The speed of the withdrawal: The rapid withdrawal of US troops and the closure 
of Bagram Airfield, a key military base, created a power vacuum that the 
Taliban quickly exploited.

Lack of planning and coordination: The withdrawal was criticized for being 
poorly planned and executed, with inadequate coordination between US agencies, 
the Afghan government, and international partners.

The consequences of the withdrawal have been severe, including:

The collapse of the Afghan government: The Taliban's rapid takeover of the 
country has led to a humanitarian crisis, with thousands of Afghans fleeing 
their homes and seeking refuge abroad.

Human rights abuses: The Taliban's return to power has raised concerns about 
human rights abuses, particularly against women, minorities, and journalists.

Biden's handling of the withdrawal has been widely criticized, with many 
arguing that it was a strategic mistake that has had far-reaching consequences 
for the region and the world.

In the context of who "lost" the Afghan War, Biden's withdrawal has been seen 
by many as a turning point that sealed the fate of the Afghan government and 
paved the way for the Taliban's return to power.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has 
been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the 
point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the 
Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into three distinct phases or 
stages:

"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The 
president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, as if 140 characters were 
all it took to change the world."

"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's 
vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of 
hyperbole."

"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from 
reality."

The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk 
opposition from liberals to anything and everything Trump does. If Trump 
announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would 
suggest he was up to something nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. 
There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be 
received positively by TDSers.

The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 
2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a punch line for late-
night comics and nothing more.

Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first 
coined by the late conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer back in 2003. 
The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in 
otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - 
the very existence of George W. Bush."
