To be sure Biden is totally responsible for the debacle. It would be nice if we could deflect on others but dishonest to do so.When the agreement was signed in Feb of 2020, we had nearly 13,000 US troops in Afghanistan. When Biden took over Benedict Donald had ordered that number down to just 2,500. Those reductions were suppose to be based on the Taliban following the 7 conditions they agreed to. One of which was to crack down on terrorist like ISIS. They only followed one. While our Generals were force to follow all our conditions and troop withdrawals. The disaster in Afghanistan was the war of occupation, not the final withdrawal of those last 2500 troops. Why was there not a truce between the Afghanis and the Taliban? That was one of the first condition for us to start the withdrawal.
To be sure Joe Biden could have redeployed 10 of thousands of fresh bodies to correct all of Donnies fuckup ups during those troop reductions, but the nation was not in the mood for another decade or two of that Occupation.
