I really have no idea. AFAIK, Trump had come to an agreement with the Taliban that he would withdraw almost all of the troops. What I’m curious about is: Was the plan to renege on that agreement? That’s what I read into the.quote from the article.

But that doesn’t sound like Trump. He makes deals that are favorable to himself.

In one case you have to ask yourself what the Taliban would do if Trump did not bring home the troops. (Unpredictable to my mind but very likely to end the agreement.) Then what would Trump have done.

And if there was no plan to stay then we would have had a more rational exit but the long term result would be Taliban rule.

It is hard for me to believe that Trump would expect his Taliban Agreement to actually work. Somehow we are missing something here.
