At RealClearWorld Daniel L. Davis urges President Biden to withdraw from Afghanistan:
The best thing President Biden can do for America’s national security and the health and wellbeing of our troops is to end the war and withdraw our troops, on schedule, by May 1. Anything else will needlessly extend the futility into perpetuity.
and the only way he can do that is by rejecting the advice of the Afghan experts and be willing to take the heat for the inevitable collapse of the present Afghan government.
I would recommend that he also dump his Russia experts, far too many of whom have agendas of their own which have little to do with U. S. interests.
However, expert advice, the unsustainability of the Afghan government, and the inevitable heat when it collapses are among the reasons it’s unlikely that President Biden will withdraw our troops from Afghanistan.
Hope he does it. He will get bashed like Obama did for pulling out of Iraq but it needs to be done.
Are there any good Russian experts?

AFAICT our “Russian experts” are all Poles and Ukrainians. What could possibly go wrong?
