Whether it took days, weeks, months or years Afghanistan would never have been ready. The United States has nothing to gain from staying there and despite all the fanatical military pundits claiming more times was needed, they're lying. No amount of time, effort or intelligence could make that country stand up for itself.

Anyone who believes otherwise is a fool or a liar. Or Trump.
So if Biden knew this would be a huge clusterfuck why not pull our diplomats, citizens, and military equipment out ahead of time before we withdrew instead of leaving all that there and claiming the Afghan army would keep it all safe? Biden failed, just admit it.
