1. The consequences of Afghanistan were not limited to 2021. They accelerated through 2022 and continue on.
2. I am a bit surprised by your analogy Sidey re Unity. Are you really thinking that tens of millions of Americans who don’t see the ‘progressive’ agenda as being healthy .. and not just an extreme cadre on the margins ..see the world as you have described? Jeremy Corbyn and his supporters were not mainstream, as the electorate quickly demonstrated, and did not reflect the vision of the majority of Labour supporters. And neither should the majority of centre and right leaning Americans be equated with those on the margins. How on earth can cooperation and partnership develop across a nation if whole swathes of the population are labelled and demonised in this way? I think Joe Biden has failed to grasp this but surely not you. ( But you’re not the President of the USA who pledged to Unite the country so he really matters)
