Both good comparisons (I'd thought of the Saigon one, too).
The US Foreign policy is currently Potato.
One general said that the problem is the framing and the real problem was the withdraw of air support.
He said the Afghan army was holding off the Taliban for years but was completely dependent on US air superiority, drones and intelligence support. The result of withdrawing support before completing the withdrawal should have been obvious.
Now we throw into the mix Taliban through Pakistan being supported by China and Taliban 'capturing' the second hand assets 'somehow' including helicopters, personnel transport and fire-arms. It seems pretty obvious. China wanted to send a message that the US power is collapsing like the USSR. The talks were well published and documented about in July. Biden didn't react and just said Kamala would handle it somehow and that it wasn't a problem. Then he ran off to his Biden bunker.
When China wiped out a trillion dollars off the value of the Chinese companies listed in the US, they had meetings with Blackrock, JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs but not the Biden Administration.
At the Anchorage summit earlier this year, the Chinese government said the Biden administration was a complete joke with no power and they need to shut up and do as they are told.
At the G7 summit, almost every leader was caught making fun of Biden as a complete joke. Even Putin was caught off guard by how bad Biden was, and Biden staffers had to tell the Russians that anything Biden said was non-binding until the real staff looked over the details.
The US is also now bombing in east Africa for some reason instead of providing air support in Afghanistan. Biden: "They put the papers on my desk and I just signed them".
Edit: The Biden State Department asked the Taliban to be woke and include women in their government.
This is the Taliban that is currently 'arranging' 'marriages' for all unmarried women older than 15.
Biden retreated to the Biden bunker, so the White house uploaded an old photo claiming he was working rather than being in the bunker. They got caught out because the photo they posted of Biden in a strategic meeting was actually from March based on the clocks.
