But all one had to do was pay attention to what's been going on to see this coming. The only things not obvious were the backroom deals that resulted in no resistance to the Taliban moving in so fast.

Plenty of people in the world could have told you this was the inevitable finale of our Afghanistan campaign. That's why the can was kicked down the road for so long.

The same ones screaming into a TV camera & social media sites about Biden & Afghanistan right now were the screechers back in 2016.
None of them really gave 2 shits about this country.

Sec Hillary Clinton however, always did.
Always.

I'm not sure that would be a better option. To a certain degree Trump's reduction in troops forced Biden's hand. But Biden could have played this out a number of ways. I like the ripping the band aid off approach that he took.

We spent too much money in Afghanistan. We fought a war with no clear purpose.

It was time to go.
