After pulling US forces out of Afghanistan with inseemly haste, it would be madness for the US to start attacking them again. It is long overdue for the US to begin to establish diplomatic relations with the Afghan Taliban, who are the de facto rulers of that country. In ceasing to do anything to prop up Afghanistan's proxy Western-oriented government, which then collapsed with US troops on the way out the door, the US implicitly entered into an obligation to at least refrain from destabilizing whatever government took its place. (Obviously, no government at all, with chaos reigning and warlord fighting warlord, would be catastrophic for the Afghan people, who are the real losers in all this.) So no drone base in Pakistan!
Ist sentence should read: "... it would be madness for Biden to resume attacking the Taliban again."
