MSM turned on Biden because the cabal had no plans to pull out of Afghanistan, but their plans got stymied. It is not just the optics that are bad, the competency switch flipped in one day. Biden is a dotard disaster and there is no remaining benefit of the doubt.
Anon suspects the funding dried up and the debt ceiling wasn't raised and they did not muster the special contractors and payola needed to actually hold territory.
The military on the ground simply pulled up stakes out on the new timeline while leadership in Washington was completely in disarray. No logistics, just moved the troops and that was it. The generals take all the flak, but the bureaucrat swamp made the miscalculation.
