ownership. Afghanistan was a cash cow for corporate contracts.

Corporations resent Dem economic policies that cramp their own totally unregulated capitalism policies.

It was not Biden who sold Afghanistan out to the Taliban. That was Donald J. Trump. After the sellout, the only choices that Biden had were 1) start the war all over again from share one with increased troop and equipment deployments or 2) get out. Biden made the right decision, but you never hear the corporate media point out Trump's sellout to the Taliban. They prefer to blame Biden because a revamped war would have meant more war contract profits.

The a-hole media's sabotage of Biden is paving the way for fascism in the US at this point in time. Maybe they expect to profit from a fascist government.
