Trump's decision to withdraw was actually something I agreed with. That said, I didn't think it was wise to negotiate with the Taliban and refuse to negotiate with the Afghan government. If we wanted the Afghan government to be legitimate and take over the country, we didn't show it. And Biden bungled the withdrawal by doing it too quickly. We should've put more effort into helping Afghans who opposed the Taliban get out of the country, not just American citizens.
As we have just seen those opposing the Taliban do not fight. Trump told them we would come back and level them. But they know Biden is weak and he will not do anything. He will send in more troops but they do not fear that....too many restrictions on our troops to really take them out.
