Shouldn't have been there in the first place.

But it's crazy that after 20 years of occupation it falls in less than a week
Seems like time well spent

Yeah, I bet South Korea, France, Ukraine, etc are all incredibly upset at us for abandoning them when the time came.

during that 20 years, you think they would have been on easy street or worse off?

I think the UN should be able to strip a country of being considered a country and just say its up for grabs.

Poll shows that even on a lefty board, it was the popular move. Gotta get them votes. Should have just left a permanent base there the same we do all over the globe, in Europe and S. Korea for example

I think pulling out was a bad move by Biden. From the perspective of Geopolitics, this move allow China and Pakistan to gain more control and influence in the region. I am also worried about terrorism that might occur in the region as a result of the Taliban gaining more power. This is definitely not good news for India. I expect more attacks in the Kashmir region like in the 90s when the Taliban were in power. And of course, the Afghanistani women and children I feel the worst for. A lot of people have said we wasted a lot of lives and money in the region but I feel there is a reason to be in Afghanistan. I've seen people compare this situation to Vietnam. This is a totally different thing.

Yes, but the last 18 months should have been spent coordinating the withdrawal and getting refuges out as early as possible.

Like Feb. - May last year should have been spent getting a count of how many refugees were needed and finding out how many other countries were willing to take in.

Start planning for taking like 99.7% of them in (there could be some legit terrorists) and start processing the easiest cases.
