Lessons that most likely will not be learned

[Couchpotato]

It might seem less weird given the Taliban don’t give a damn about attacking the US, they only care about controlling Afghanistan. Trump’s priority wasn’t the Afghani people, it was US involvement.

The Taliban weren’t going to sign a peace deal with the Afghanistan government and it wasn’t a priority for the Trump administration (or Biden administration).

Just read the agreement. They were supposed to enter into peace negotiations to make the cease fire permanent with the Afghan government after we left. That obviusoly isn’t going to happen so I’d say they violated the agreement

Come on ,"lessons learned" at this stage in the 21st century? We need to question the "intelligence" or lack of it that we used to depend on for these military adventures. The CIA hasn't been right since WW2.
