China's problem now.
Oh bullshit. Biden's been in the driver's seat for six months. 20 YEARS, man. We trained 300k Afghanis, gave them badass weapons, where the hell are they? Shit, I how many original Taliban is left, we have been killing them for two decades. I wonder why they keep getting more....oh yeah, 10% of Muslims are extremists, plenty to keep stocking up. We can't kill them all....technically, we could kill them all, but that would make us a pariah on the world stage.
Biden technically stayed longer than we agreed to. Here's a decent summary.

I think it is noteworthy that very few media dipshits want to talk about the failure of the Afghani government to cut a deal with the Taliban.
It is a civil war that never really ended. Seems the government over-estimated their strength...and the Taliban knew the security forces were pussies and/or sympathetic to Taliban. Taliban has had eyes and ears on the people for much, much longer...they knew.
Of course. I am convinced the contractors don't care. They didn't care during Nam either. This is the shit Ike warned us about.
Neither are bad or good. It is what it is. Credit to Trump for starting the process, and credit to Biden for following through. There was not going to be a happy ending to this.
