W invades them for Bin Laden, if we had put all our focus on the country maaaybe it would be better today... But of course W had to go oil hunting in Iraq splitting our resources.

Obama did nothing productive except drone people to death and allow warlords to take parts of the country because everyone was sick of losing soldiers for that hunk of land.

Trump comes in and of course knows nothing about nothing and orders a hasty withdrawal, that is then poorly executed by Biden.

Add to all of that, that the Afghan people simply do not feel a kinship to each other and democratic instincts do not exist due to the heavy influence of Islam, which retards the minds of already poorly educated people.

It all sucks from top to bottom and I feel awful for the women and children there that have to live now in that Islamofascist shithole.

Yea. But only one of them signed a capitulation/surrender to Taliban. I still do not get what Biden was supposed to do given the terms of Trump’s capitulation (“cease fire”).

It just stinks of W signing the order that we withdraw from Iraq and then everyone pisses on Obama for abiding by the agreement W wrote and signed.

Don't forget that before the U.S. got involved, Russia has soldiers in Afghanistan for a decade. Just a messy situation.

Absolutely. And let's not also forget who the US was funding and supplying arms to during that time. You guessed it, Bin Laden and his freedom fighters....

Just fuckup after fuckup
