If you believe there was ever a scenario where as soon as the final American troops pulled out of AFG and the Taliban didn't break their agreement, then I have a bridge to sell you.

Parts of peace agreements in any war are usually broken by both sides for as long as I can remember. And I have lived a long time. Read up on the Israeli/Palestinian peace accords going back decades.
That is not the issue. The issue in Afghanistan was to carry out a withdrawal in a safe,orderly manner while leaving behind a government from all sides.
Its not about Dementia Joe and his Press Secretary both taking a “vacation “ as soon as the sh*t hit the fan, and hiding under their beds in fetal position after engineering an utter disaster.

Yes, that's the issue. What I'm saying is that was never going to be possible. We had to either remain in AFG or accept that the current situation was inevitable. The Taliban would smile and nod while we pulled out, and then they would have taken over with an iron fist as soon as they could. Which is exactly what they did. I'm glad Democrats control our govt while this is happening because Republicans can capitalize on it. I feel you and I are in violent agreement on this.
