To be fair, when you go into someone else's land and beat the ever-loving shit out of every facet of their organizational infrastructure, it's kind of up to you to help them rebuild it.

If you help them build a rotted shack out of mismatched boards, you kind of don't get to complain about the mess. You definitely don't get to blame them for not being good enough when you half-ass everything and then punch out.

The problem the US has had for decades now is that we're eager to go in to places and blow shit up (because blowing shit up obviously solves all problems - and if the problem isn't solved, you clearly didn't blow enough shit up), but we never have an actual exit strategy in mind, and we're abysmally incompetent when it comes to the concept of reconstruction (we've been fucking that one up since the 1860s!). So all we ever really seem to do is make worse messes than the ones we're trying to fix, and then peace out and absolve ourselves of all responsibility because responsibility is hard.

This isn't a single incident, this is a pattern of behavior. We're pretty much the abusive boyfriend of the modern world.

Agreed, though I'll add that on top of blowing the ever-loving shit out of everything being the US's "one size fits all" solution, war is also insanely lucrative to a select group of companies and organizations.

The sad part is that many Afghanis were hopeful of their future, and the future for their children. Breaks my heart seeing pics of children being turned away from schools, with the girls being told they will be unable to return. Hearing women are unable to walk the streets freely. Those kids deserve better. Everyone there does. I hope in light of this clusterfuck the US and international community open up a robust refugee plan for the Afghan people, and does everything they can to help people get out of there who want to leave

I posted a bunch of thoughts on this in Zeus' thread and don't care to go into detail, but suffice to say Biden very much inherited a shit situation from Trump, where Trump had negotiated a deal with the Taliban for the US to expedite releasing Taliban prisoners in exchange for the Taliban agreeing not to attack US troops while they accelerate withdrawal from the country (in a hastily worded, oversimplified nutshell - I'm on break at work)

That's not to say Biden couldn't have handled it better and doesn't share in the blame in how the withdrawal and subsequent collapse to the Taliban in Afghanistan is playing out, but hell naw should he resign over this.

The more I read about this the more fucked the whole situation is. This is the culmination of 20 years of failures, both in Afghanistan and in DC. The US was in a very difficult spot.

Trump had brokered a deal with the Taliban to facilitate US troop withdrawal. They left the Afghan government out of the negotiations, and basically gave Afghanistan up to the Taliban on a platter for assurances that the Taliban would not attack US forces as they withdrew. They also got Taliban prisoners released. Really, the Taliban got pretty much everything they could want from the deal, and the US got very little in kind.

This deal left Biden in a tight spot. Does he move forward with Trump's plan to cut and run and throw away 20 years of half-assed progress? Or does he break the deal set in place with the Taliban and risk emboldening them to attack US forces? Ultimately, we know the answer.

I still question the means with which the withdrawal was carried out, but not so much the withdrawal itself. The Afghan government the US had installed was rife with corruption and grotesquely ineffective. I had heard of the corruption of course, for a long time now, but recent news reports have been eye opening.

Could we have left a force there to support the Afghan army? Possibly. That may have broken the deal set in place with the Taliban, however. This would've triggered conflict for sure and led to significant destabilization, perhaps not on the scale we're seeing but certainly would've been a terrific setback, and led to more US deaths.

Long-term there would have had to have been a near-complete overhaul of the government the US put there in the first place. Like I said earlier, this would take decades. Not so sure it would be worth it, but as I said earlier in light of how heavily invested the US is there it certainly should've been considered. However, given the details I've read on Trump's awful deal with the Taliban, I'm not sure there was much of an option there. To be clear, I'm not placing the blame solely on Trump's shoulders. As I said, this is the culmination of 20 years of bullshit. It's a fucking mess there.

It's a travesty how this is playing out. No decision could be the right decision. They're all bad decisions with differing levels of bullshit attached to them.

Sure, actual lack of troops and air cover is going to weaken their forces, but they aren't dealing with an equal sized or equipped forces, here. It's supposed to be a battle tested Army vs a force with exponentially few resources. In now way should the Taliban stood a chance, here.

You're underestimating the blow to Afghan army morale at the US abandonment, as well as the Taliban's capabilities.

Diagree with your assessment that it's a lost cause. It's not something that can be built overnight, but a stable government with a capable, self-sufficient military could be attained, and that would have gone a long way toward combating terrorism.

Not sure if some of you realize but the Afghan army was fighting like 90% of the skirmishes there on their own. This collapse is more a result of a devastating blow to morale and confidence which can be directly attributed to how the US handled this withdrawal.

Could take decades to stabilize the country and put the Taliban out of business for good, but it's shortsighted to say the Afghan army would've failed regardless of US support, because in the short term they were succeeding.

The US military operates with a multifaceted force: army, navy, air force, Marines, special forces, etc. If for some reason we had troops on the ground somewhere and the Air Force and navy up and decided they were gonna pull out and leave our ground troops to fend for themselves, it would be devestating to morale. That would never happen, because we understand the need for proper multilateral support and planned drawdown of forces. Which is why this abandonment makes no sense.

It's unfair to criticize the Afghan army for failing to stand up to the Taliban without placing a sizable chunk of the blame on how the US turned their backs on them and provided the Taliban with the perfect opportunity to take over.

The US would've been better served, in light of how heavily invested we are in Afghanistan, to set up a base of operations similar to Korea or Germany and keep a supporting force there in perpetuity. The way this is going down right now makes the whole thing seem like a gigantic waste, and is a massive insult to those who fought and died for this mission.

We still have a presence in nations we fought or aided in WWII, among other conflicts. Germany, Korea, etc. Maintaining a military presence is proven to add stability during post-war transition. Blows my mind that they're pulling out of Afghanistan the way they are. It's honestly disgusting.

The billions we've invested in Afghanistan aside, the biggest insult is to the people we lost in all of this. Imagine being a widow or widower and watching this unfold in real time, wondering if your spouse or loved one died for naught.

Imagine being one of the hundreds of thousands who served over there, thinking you're doing good and improving the lives of the Afghan people, and watching the Taliban just undo everything in a matter of days.

Imagine being those Afghan people who had imagined a better future free from Taliban rule watching their dream crumble all so Biden can score campaign points.

Make no mistake about that last part. This accelerated troop withdrawal began under Trump, and he and his administration share some of the blame. But this is Biden's cross to bear.

There's multiple failures, some years in the making. They trained the Afghan army to be a mini-US force, instead of training them to be an anti-taliban force. They were too reliant on US support and hardware, and lacked structure and leadership needed to face the Taliban specifically, but to stand on their own in general.

Biden is on the hook for this mess and he'll be the one who is remembered for pulling the rug out under the Afghans feet. It's absolutely gutting to morale to have the US basically announce the situation is unwinnable, then pull their troops out. It's no wonder the Afghan army is laying down for the Taliban.

Biden could've changed course and come up with a long-term solution, but he cocked that up something fierce. This'll tarnish his legacy, for sure. And I wouldn't be surprised to find the US launching another military campaign into Afghanistan in a decade or two or three, once terrorist cells build another stronghold there.

It's an absolute travesty. Gonna go down as an abject failure in international policy.
