   “If they attack our personnel, the U.S. presence will be swift and the response will be forceful. We will defend our people with devastating force, if necessary ...” Biden
   
   I have no clue about modern day practices and weapons of war. What sort of force would be "devastating" and what would take place?
   
   
   
   - wondering.
   
   SP Devastating
   
   "highly destructive or damaging.
   causing severe shock, distress, or grief."

      "Modern Artillery
      Improved steelmaking techniques produced massive guns that launched enormous explosive shells across great distances. Artillerymen also developed new methods of aiming and concentrating their fire, increasing its deadliness. Most casualties in the war were caused by artillery.
      
      Machine Guns
      At the beginning of the war, most armies had few machine guns, gathered in specialized units. After the weapons proved their deadliness, all the armies increased their manufacture and use. Firing hundreds of bullets per minute, a single gun could wipe out dozens of men in seconds.
      
      Poison Gas
      The most hideous weapon of the war. Gas blistered the skin, eyes, airways and lungs. Masks and protective clothing helped reduce the lethality of gas attacks. But tens of thousands died in agony, and hundreds of thousands suffered lingering effects for the rest of their lives.
      
      Tanks
      Early tanks were called “landships” but were renamed to preserve their secrecy. The concept was simple - an armored vehicle that could cross uneven terrain to support infantry. Initial designs were primitive, but improvements increased their effectiveness later in the war.
      
      Aircraft
      The war began barely a decade after the Wright Brothers’ first flight. Airplanes initially served as scouts and observers, but pilots soon began carrying weapons into the air. Aircraft designs and weaponry improved rapidly, and soon both sides battled for control of the skies."

   Agreements have already broken. Where's the devastating force?
   
   Biden is a pacifist down deep?
   or something else?

   Biden has basically facilitated the Taliban to take over and create violence and havoc.
   
   To what end?
   
   To create hell on earth?
   
   So kind and good, is he.

   Maybe the Taliban will settle down and run a perfectly fine country.
   And China and Russia will settle down and run their own countries.
   And the rest of the world will do the same. Surely, we all sleep at night and renew our efforts toward peace and happiness the next day.
   
   Why waste one's time and energy trespassing against others??????
