I lay the blame for the Afghan debacle on 4 POTUSes-Dubbiweh for not sending in overwhelming force & completely crushing Taliban, Al Qaida, etc.-Obama, for doing nothing, Trump, for making ANY deal with the taliban other than complete surrender, and, of course, Biden, for continuing that deal.
Can the Afghans fight? Just ask the Russians from the 1980s war they had with the Afghan Mujahideen. Russia made the same mistake the US made in Korea, Nam & now Aghanistan-they didn't send enough forces, with orders to win, & had no plan or purpose for their war.
I believe that, if a nation goes to war, the object should be VICTORY. Just to make a show of force is stupid & a needless sacrifice of troops.
While I believe truman was the best dem POTUS there's been in my lifetime, he made a big mistake in Korea my not allowing our forces to STOMP the NKVD. China? He coulda told them, "Hey, if it weren' for us, you'd still be Manchuria & speak Japanese." We had nukes; Mao didn't. A swift & thorough victory would've prevented some of our headaches since then with North Korea.
Nam? same thing. Once our forces became involved, we should've CRUSHED Charlie into the ground. Russia might bluster, but they would NOT have gone to war with us over Nam. And Cambodia, etc. could not have prevented our pursuing & whacking gooks in their lands.
Seems many Afghans wanted the Taliban to take over Otherwise, they would've fought much-harder. All the US got from this whole affair is a long list of casualties, a few records for long-distance sniping, & 2 TRILLION dollars thrown to the wind.
Yes, the world is being prepared for the coming to power of the antichrist & false prophet !
