Austin Bay: Did Biden’s Afghanistan disaster undermine the Indo-Pacific Quad?

The Biden administration’s Afghanistan debacle horrified India. India made a major diplomatic, economic and political commitment to stabilizing Afghanistan. When Biden ran away and America suffered a defeat, India also suffered a defeat.
