I was sickened by the Biden quote that we could carry on in Afghanistan alone if we wanted, as I remember, we have always been aware of the problems in Afghanistan, and we spent many years there in Queen Victoria’s reign, regretting our exploits. But we were persuaded by our American friends to join them, to give world-wide authenticity (and US domestic authenticity) to an invasion by America. That was followed by an expensive period of ‘nation building,’ when the truth is that we cannot build someone else’s nation. It’s been hard enough building our own.

If these reports are true, then there is truly no bottom to President Trump's willingness to abuse President Trump power and abase our country. This behavior is particularly abhorrent because it exploits the foreign policy of our country and undermines our national security for political purposes. It means that President Trump used the power and resources of the United States to pressure a sovereign nation — a partner that is still under direct assault from Russia — pushing Ukraine to subvert the rule of law in the express hope of extracting a political favor, such clear-cut corruption damages and diminishes our institutions of government by making them tools of a personal political vendetta. At minimum, Donald Trump should immediately release the transcript of the call in question, so that the American people can judge for themselves, and direct the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to stop stonewalling and release the whistleblower notification to the Congress.
