There was never going to be a clean exit from Afghanistan from the moment the US decided to try to nation build there.
People wanted blood after 9/11, and if we were honest with ourselves about who we really are as a country, after Bin Laden got away in Tora Bora we would’ve leveled Kabul and called it a day, for all the difference it ultimately ended up making. Not saying it would’ve been right, but it would’ve accomplished the exact same thing as what 20 years of occupation did, arguably with less blowback, and it could’ve been done without dragging the rest of our allies into it, but gotta keep up appearances.
Good or bad, it doesn’t belong in that list. Trump made the decision to leave Afghanistan. By the time Biden had the power it was too late to stay there.
Well shit. I totally fucked up the formatting. Leaving Afghanistan was a definite positive. People who grief him for it also seem to forget that it was Trump who made the agreement with the Taliban and set the thing in motion. Not sure if he would’ve actually gone ahead and fully withdraw though, but at least Biden followed through with it.
Leaving Afghanistan was a bad move? Okay, sure buddy.
Probably referencing how poorly leaving Afghanistan went, and the aftermath of it.
Never mind that Trump handed him that flaming bag of shit, and Biden couldn’t have stomped it out if he wanted to.
