BIDEN: At the end of the day, if we didn’t leave Afghanistan now, when do we leave? Another 10 years? Another five years? Another year? I’m not about to send your son or your daughter to fight in Afghanistan. I don’t see where that is in our overall interests.
And the talk about how our interests are gonna be impacted? Let me tell you. You’re sitting in Beijing or you’re sitting in Moscow. Are you happy we left? (snickering) They’d love nothing better for us to continue to be bogged down there, totally occupied with what’s going on! So the idea this is… I think the history’s record this wasn’t the logical, rational, and right decision to make.
BUCK: Welcome back to the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show. There you had Joe Biden with the usual idiotic analysis of foreign policy you could generally expect from this guy for the last 40 years or so. Oh, yeah, sure! China’s really upset about the humiliation of the Biden administration and the catastrophe of the Biden withdrawal plan ’cause… Wait.
They’re gonna do what, now? China’s going to have a relationship, Clay, with the Taliban; they’re going to continue to push their Belt-and-Road Initiative, get access to resources. They don’t care about human rights, obviously. They don’t care about women’s education. But Biden is wrong, Clay. It’s almost amazing. It’s almost impressive how consistently and obviously bad his analysis of the world is.
CLAY: (chuckles) Every time he has an important choice to make, he makes the wrong choice. And he keeps… As you have pointed out and we have been pointing out on the show, he keeps shifting every discussion about whether or not the issues in Afghanistan are a boondoggle, as they are, right? It’s a total mess. But he keeps taking the opportunity to shift the argument to, should we or should we not have left Afghanistan, as opposed to taking responsibility for the disaster that is on the ground right now.
