Remember when candidate Joe Biden said America “needs a leader the world respects”? Apparently President Biden forgot. Of the many consequences of his misbegotten Afghanistan withdrawal, one of the more serious is the way it has damaged America’s relationships with its allies, especially in Europe.
Afghanistan was an operation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and America’s NATO allies have invested significant blood and treasure in the conflict. That includes tens of thousands of troops over 20 years,, and billions of dollars spent on the military operation and reconstruction effort. This was a fulfillment of their obligations after the Sept. 11 terror attack led to the first invocation of the mutual self-defense clause in NATO’s founding treaty. European allies also have a stake in preventing a nation of nearly 40 million people from collapsing into a failed state that could trigger more mass migration to Europe, or become a new breeding ground for terrorism.
Yet everything about Mr. Biden’s Afghan withdrawal has been a slap to those allies. They didn’t want the U.S. to leave, but he did. The botched execution has left them scrambling to airlift out thousands of their citizens and thousands more Afghan translators and others who assisted each nation’s war effort.
And the snubs keep coming from Washington. In his Monday speech, Mr. Biden made only a glancing reference to
opinion Mr Bidden should resign and US appoint new leader and with NATO clean this mess and remove the hell from earth for once and for all.

opinion Laughable. The Europeans are fat and lazy and would have been embarrassed in Afghanistan if the Americans hadn't been there. The only thing their militaries are good at is running in after the Americans, exiting first and then grumbling about how the US did everything wrong.
opinion Because Trump NEVER tried to break NATO right?

opinion America is a joke.
opinion When 2020 and the virus hit, and more degradation of America in some eyes started, people in other countries mentioned the country was 'fragile' and not truly the model country to seek after as one thought. America needs to lead with heart and love. God Bless, John German
