WTF is the matter with the man ? The Taliban won. The US withdrawal was a PR and humanitarian disaster.
The Taliban have little idea of government and Afghans are in a desperate plight. Give to Afghans that which belongs to Afghanistan, you miserable old vengeful bastard.

Actually, you tRump ass kissing trolls continue to demonstrate yourselves as fact free miscreants, and at projecting the failures of the former lawlessly hacked in tRump gutter mob. To be a tRump lover is basically being a lover of an un-American sewer and the devil on one's corrupt body and soul:
Biden Deserves Credit, Not Blame, for Afghanistan
Americans should feel proud of what the U.S. government and military have accomplished in these past two weeks.
About the author: David Rothkopf is an author, a commentator, a former senior government official, and the host of the Deep State Radio podcast.
America's longest war has been by any measure a costly failure, and the errors in managing the conflict deserve scrutiny in the years to come. But Joe Biden doesn't "own" the mayhem on the ground right now. What we're seeing is the culmination of 20 years of bad decisions by U.S. political and military leaders.
If anything, Americans should feel proud of what the U.S. government and military have accomplished in these past two weeks. President Biden deserves credit, not blame.
Unlike his three immediate predecessors in the Oval Office, all of whom also came to see the futility of the Afghan operation, Biden alone had the political courage to fully end America's involvement. Although Donald Trump made a plan to end the war, he set a departure date that fell after the end of his first term and created conditions that made the situation Biden inherited more precarious.
And despite significant pressure and obstacles, Biden has overseen a military and government that have managed, since the announcement of America's withdrawal, one of the most extraordinary logistical feats in their recent history. By the time the last American plane lifts off from Hamid Karzai International Airport on August 31, the total number of Americans and Afghan allies extricated from the country may exceed 120,000."

Actually, it appears you have contradicted yourself. Now consider that facts versus your President Biden hating bs:
US general says Afghanistan collapse rooted in Trump-Taliban deal
Head of US Central Command says collapse of the Afghan government can be traced to US troop withdrawal deal.
Senior military officials in the United States have linked the collapse of the Afghan government and its security forces in August to former President Donald Trump’s deal with the Taliban in 2020 promising a complete withdrawal of US troops.
General Frank McKenzie, the head of Central Command, told the House Armed Services Committee on Wednesday that once the US troop presence was pushed below 2,500 as part of Washington’s bid to complete a total withdrawal by the end of August, the unravelling of the US-backed Afghan government accelerated."

Karzai: Biden order on frozen funds ‘atrocity against Afghans’
![]()
Former Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai has called a White House order to unfreeze $3.5bn in Afghan assets held in the United States for families of 9/11 victims an atrocity against the Afghan people.
Karzai, at a packed news conference, sought the help of Americans, particularly the families of the thousands killed in the 9/11 attacks, to press President Joe Biden to rescind last week’s order.
“The people of Afghanistan share the pain of the American people, share the pain of the families and loved ones of those who died, who lost their lives in the tragedy of September 11,” said Karzai.
“We commiserate with them [but] Afghan people are as much victims as those families who lost their lives. Withholding money or seizing money from the people of Afghanistan in their name is unjust and unfair and an atrocity against Afghan people.”
President Biden’s order, signed last Friday, freed $7.1bn in Afghan assets currently held in the US, to be divided between 9/11 victims and humanitarian aid to Afghans.

The tragedy of Afghanistan's malnourished children
![]()
Every few seconds a sick child is brought in to the emergency room of the main hospital in Lashkar Gah in a race against time to save the youngest casualties of Afghanistan's hunger crisis.
Amidst the heart-rending sound of dozens of hungry babies crying, and desperate pleas for help from their mothers, nurses scramble to prioritise children who need urgent care. There are many such babies.
There's almost nowhere else for people to turn to. Cutting off the foreign money which ran Afghanistan has dealt a double blow. It's triggered an economic crisis that has brought an already poor population to the brink of starvation, and it's led to the near collapse of the public healthcare system that it almost entirely funded before the Taliban takeover.
"We had no connection with the Taliban. My house was unjustly bombed. Neither the Americans, the previous government or the new one offered to help me," Hameed says.
"We eat just dry bread. About two to three nights a week, we go to bed hungry."
Everywhere we went, we asked what people had eaten that day. Most described sharing a few pieces of dry bread between whole families.
Children are the most vulnerable in this crisis of hunger. Afghanistan's youngest generation is being left to die.
In many of the areas we visited, malnutrition deaths might not even get recorded or counted. The world might never know the scale of the tragedy unfolding in Afghanistan.
