“Even if Biden isn’t to blame, why wasn’t the Taliban destroyed with 3 presidents spending billions of dollars in Afghanistan?”

The entire enterprise was doomed from the beginning. America can’t win a war decisively in a foreign country while making war under UN rules of engagement, etc.

We could easily win any war if we were ruthless. We have everything needed to do so. We don’t fight to win and haven’t for a long time.
