Under Trump the Taliban were given concessions favorable to them. Under Trump lots of expensive modern military equipment was brought in that ended up in the hands of the Taliban. Under Trump a poor and unrealistic withdrawal scenario was created that was then passed on to the Biden administration.

@SnowBlack All true - but every single administration has mismanaged Afghanistan - including this one. At least we’re out.

@QuixoticSoul I applaud the withdrawal. It's just a shame that so much equipment is now owned by the Taliban. They could launch a war with it, and western Pakistan would be their target.
