He gave a fantastic speech yesterday on the end of the war:

Biden’s compassion for and work to note the real human costs to our soldiers is a note that many lefty pundits may minimize and Fox will try desperately to denigrate… but it’s the heart of why that speech was brilliant.

Pres Biden faced fierce criticism over the last few weeks over his decision to withdraw from Afghanistan & the way in which he did it. He is pushing back hard on that criticism & pointedly defending his choice not to continue the two-decade war w/ another generation of troops.

The foreign policy consensus loves military adventurism. The American people do not. And Joe Biden knows who he works for.
Great speech, Mr. President. https://t.co/Dhtqs1g08u

Joe Biden has earned, and he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.
Biden has pretty much always wanted out of Afghanistan. Back in 2010, Stanley McChrystal made a big splash in the press that sort of forced Obama’s hand on surging troops there, but Biden was steadfastly against it.
The rich folks in the media are probably worried about their war stocks about now, but they really shouldn’t be… the pentagon will get it’s three quarters of a trillion dollars again next year.
