Afghanistan was always rarely covered by the media. It used to be known as America’s forgotten war. Now that Biden is making the correct decision the media remembers we had a war on Afghanistan for 20 years.

It is the right thing to do to end the war and not pass that decision to another President. I also admire he is willing to take a beating from the press to make that decision.

The Delta variant came from India IIRC and they have one of those right wing populists so not much the US can do about that.
