Was leaving Afghanistan the right thing to do?


In the end, this Afghanistan debacle only proves that America can't afford to waste anymore money on meaningless wars.

I don't think the 'right thing to do' really has an answer here. It's going to cost the lives of good people who tried to make things better. But the alternative wasn't really working either.

I guess leaving Afghanistan and doing a better job of protecting the allies that helped by granting more people refugee status is maybe the closest thing possible to 'the right thing'

I won't wanna get modded. So i'll just say. Afghanistan is a country that just isn't worth it.

I'm astounded by the number of Trump supporters who demand we go back there. Weren't they very supportive when Trump himself wanted to bring the troops back home?

It's the other way around too. When Trump wanted to do it, he got major backlash from Democrats and liberals in general. It was only ok to do once Biden tried it.

I don't know, all I know is that I feel terrible for a lot of the people we're leaving behind there.

A lot of people don't really have any true principles other than tribal mentality.

We never should have been there. We cannot survive much longer in the wartime economy and we clearly werent there to fight the taliban. We easily could have wiped them out and established government within a year. This is about profiteering.

Depends.

Did Trump do it?
He did and it's one good thing he did.

Yes, though sounds like we could have left a lot more cleanly. Unless we were going to completely take over and make it into a US territory, it seems this was ultimately inevitable unfortunately. The whole ordeal was a shitshow from the start.

Yes, and we should accept as many refugees as there are.

This is good but it's just a drop in the bucket. The US will be taking in a few thousand people who have worked with our forces over the years. But it doesn't look like Europe is going to be taking many if any in. A lot of them have agreed to stall deportations to Afghanistan, seems doubtful theyll agree to much more than that.

taliban played the long con and gave the americans the impression they were defeated.
all they did was just sit and wait for the americans to leave.

Yes but obviously the exit plan was bad.

This will go down in history as much, much worse than Vietnam. 20 years there and overrun in a matter of days. Especially after Biden's press conferences just weeks before, and as he left for vacation days before Afghanistan fell.

That said this is not solely Biden's fault. This started because of Bush/Cheney, continued under Obama, and a crap exit plan was in place by Trump. Biden should have trashed that plan but now he gets the blame if god forbid a taliban-sponsored terrorist attack happens stateside or elsewhere.

There is no exit plan that our military leadership would have effectively carried out; they're deeply invested in the idea that we can't exit.
