What if Joe Biden is Actually in Charge?
1st September 2021
Watching the fiasco in Afghanistan unfold was the first time that it crossed my mind that Joe Biden might actually be in charge in the White House. I had presumed that he was a figurehead, and someone was behind the scenes, calling the shots. But the way Afghanistan was handled is classic Joe Biden – he took exactly the same approach back in Vietnam (ignoring our enemies and abandoning our friends), as the Cambodians will tell you. Well, the Cambodians who survived, at least. The Cambodians who survived probably strongly dislike Mr. Biden. Interestingly, those who didn’t survive probably voted for him. Nothing changes one’s perspective like dying, I suppose.
