Actually, that is incorrect. There are papers upon papers available which show the Taliban was formed after U.S. left.
U.S invaded after 911 for bin Laden. They stayed for nation building.
The U.S. made situation worse? In that case, what are people talking about when they say women were getting educated etc over the last 20 years when the U.S. was there? And then the Afghans should be cheering in the streets for the U.S. leaving. On the contrary, I see the poor people asking for help.
The major problem now is that Biden and company were so thoroughly incompetent that they actually withdrew troops before destroying the equipment as was originally planned. He is now trying to escape blame by saying Trump negotiated it. Then why scuttle Trump's plans for civilian evacuation, followed by destruction of all equient before troops left? That way, the Afghan army wouldn't have been outmatched.
Unfortunately, I don't see help coming from America any time soon. People have gotten tired of getting blamed for everything going wrong in the world WHILE spending blood and money to defend someone else. Not saying I agree, but that is the general sentiment here now.
