I am not a Biden supporter by any means, but in his defense this was going to happen no matter who pulled the trigger. When you invest over 16 years of training and over $80 billion dollars into an army that immeadiately deserts their jobs the second you leave, maybe just maybe they are insolvable problems in the country that no one can fix.

On the plus side, as always the memes from this have been great.

And so it ends.

The Wikipedia editors must be having the time of their lives.

If you look at the total cost, it would have been cheaper just to have given everyone in Afghanistan $30,000 and left

That's pretty sad. We could have purchased an island somewhere and shipped any Afghans who wanted out to it to live peacefully for that kind of money. Unrealistic... perhaps. But probably not any more so than actually "winning".

Do we really need that much details?

My opinion of the President's action is still harsh. The BBC in London continues to receive comments from NATO allies that no one was consulted before that poorly timed announcement from Biden.
