This. Taliban had basically nothing when US left. Afghans had plenty of hardware and vastly outnumbered them, could've easily sent them crawling back to their caves if they actually gave a damn about living in a Western style democracy.
They did literally nothing, so let them have the government they want.

The taliban were handed a promise and a plan by Trump and Pompeo that they would get full control of the government because we were leaving. And they did that deliberately without involving the Afghan government or telling them much of anything because it was blasted publicly after the fact that Pompeo did this entirely behind the Afghan government's back.
