> Leadership fails to plan for worst case scenario, because it's not politically expedient to act as though it might happen. Not only was this the worst case scenario, it was also the most likely scenario. And it does not take a geopolitical expert to foresee it playing out.

At best it was incompetence on the part of the US leadership and at worst malicious with a goal of destroying what little international foreign policy capital we had left.
