It would have been nice if the Afghani army that Americans trained (at a rather large expense) was able to maintain power over the area, but that obviously didn't occur.
I don't believe America should be the World Police, so I understand why we wanted to get out of Afghanistan, but I can't help but feel like there had to be some way to help the Afghani people maintain control even after we left.
Of course, posing this as a Trump vs Biden thing is silly, as they both wanted to leave Afghanistan as soon as possible and since we already know what Trump did to the Kurds in Syria, I have no doubt he would have been just as bad as, if not worse than, Biden in Afghanistan as well.
There are no Afghani people that's why they couldn't maintain whatever we were trying to do. It's a nation with made up phoney borders that consists of multiple ethic groups and tribes that don't exactly like each other. That's not uncommon in that neck of the woods either.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.
