As powerful as the US is, it cannot do everything/be everywhere. Only one thing at a time can be the top priority. Obama's 2009 Afghan surge limited Obama's options w/r/t Russia, China, Pakistan. Biden's tough and cold Afghan decision widens US options in the world. 17/x — PolitiTweet.org

Nobody can ever know the hazards of the road not taken. Had Biden opted to renege on the Trump-Pompeo deal, that would have had costs too. Maybe those costs would have been worth it. But maybe it's also the job of a president to face ugly truths and accept bad outcomes. 16/x — PolitiTweet.org

The most terrible burden of the presidency is the inescapable obligation to balance life against life. Power can never be exercised innocently in this guilty world. END — PolitiTweet.org
