The key problem with “America’s leadership abroad” is that the idea of America as a “leader” is completely based in arrogant delusion.

The occupation forces will withdraw on the 31st (or face a fight which they won’t win), and the US media will go into a frenzy about how the Taliban are barbaric for refusing to allow the Americans to stay.
Two points:
-
The USA has had twenty years to extract as many Afghans as it wanted to. The current withdrawal has been expected for years and known to the Biden regime for months. They could’ve been flying out thousands per day for the last year if they’d wanted to. The current chaos at HKIA was entirely predictable and preventable. The translators etc being left behind are stuck there because the USA chose not to extract them.
-
Just how long do people expect the Afghans to tolerate continuing hostile occupation of their main airport, in the middle of their capital city? No sovereign country can allow that.
Tragic imagery of babies surrounding the defeat of a US occupation force is standard. Happens every time.
