“President Biden is privately defiant that he made the right calls on Afghanistan in 2021 despite the U.S. military’s chaotic exit,” according to an upcoming book obtained by Axios.
“Biden believes history will look kindly on his decision to end the two-decade war — America’s longest — even though it came at an enormous political cost to Biden, whose polling numbers have never recovered from the fallout.”
After Afghanistan, “no one offered to resign, in large part because the president didn’t believe anyone had made a mistake. Ending the war was always going to be messy.”
