In just seven days, President Joe Biden will end the U.S. rescue mission in Afghanistan.

The Taliban say they will not allow Afghans to leave, and they won't agree to extend the deadline to evacuate those wanting to leave under U.S. protection. 

Will it come to a military showdown, or will the U.S. (Biden) suffer a total defeat at the hands of the Taliban?

How will the crisis play out on the world stage?

 

How do you rate the Biden presidency so far?  Compared to his predecessor, Donald Trump, how, in your opinion, is the Biden administration doing?
