Biden has made terrorists more powerful

Starting in November, Joe Biden's national security team had three full months to consider President Donald Trump's Afghanistan strategy.
After his inauguration in January, Biden had many more months for his team to plan his exit strategy.
The Biden Administration left billions in munitions for terrorists on the ground making the Taliban even more dangerous than they were when United States troops entered the country in October of 2001. The Taliban is now a well armed group along with ISIS and Al-Qaeda.
Any rational person would have said that the first two steps in withdrawing from Afghanistan would be to remove people at risk and draw down munitions and weapons. Biden did neither.
The Afghani army lost 50,000 troops in the war against the terrorist Taliban in the past seven years. Joe Biden is the coward who made Afghans, allies and Americans hostages of the Taliban.
It's quite clear to the most casual observer that Biden lied about everything and tried to falsely blame everyone else.
Biden has put terrorists in charge of our security in Afghanistan and Mexican cartels in charge of our border. Both are acts of treason, surrendering our sovereignty and security to brutal and vicious people.
Why?
He didn't want it happening in 2022 before the election.
