@Pitchblue "The Trump administration agreed to an initial reduction from 13,000 to 8,600 troops by July 2020, followed by a full withdrawal by 1 May 2021 if the Taliban kept its commitments.[7] The Biden administration, however, said the US would not begin withdrawing until 1 May and would complete the withdrawal before 11 September.[8][9] On 8 July, Biden specified a US withdrawal deadline of 31 August.[
In February 2020, President Trump and NATO allies agreed to formulate a deal with the Taliban, allowing for a formal withdrawal of US combat forces from Afghanistan. Under the terms of the agreement, the Taliban promised "not to allow al-Qaeda or any other extremist group to operate in the areas they control". The deal, titled the "Agreement for Bringing Peace to Afghanistan", saw US and NATO forces withdrawing in earnest and set the deadline for a complete withdrawal of US forces by 1 May 2021.[31][32] Trump left open the possibility of a renewed war effort if the Taliban were to violate the terms of the agreement, promising that, if terms were broken, "we'll go back with a force like no-one's ever seen"
@Pitchblue That part was fine, probably shouldn’t have undermined Ghani’s government in the process though - though that likely would have only prolonged the inevitable.
@QuixoticSoul The Afghan Gov was supposed to be the ally. We spent 20 years paying for their Gov and their military and he doesn't include them. It's one thing to finally cut your losses and leave but to then blame Biden is just despicable. What was Biden supposed to do double down for another 20 years, spend trillions more on a lost cause. The lies and propaganda make me sick.
