Colombia found relative peace when they made a deal with the FARC and allowed them to participate in gov. There are still drug cartels, but violence is nowhere close to what it was. Trump's Taliban agreement just gave a country to a cartel with a grave worshipping paramilitary.
That agreement completely delegitimized the Afghan Government. Of course the Army laid down, they saw the USA wouldn't even acknowledge the government, that's a massive morale killer! That agreement should have been invalidated and renegotiated with Afghan Gov + Taliban at table.
If that had happened, perhaps the Taliban takes over after we left. But, we could have declared victory and evacuated while the country had military stability. This whole ordeal has been a giant clusterfuck of a nightmare. It should not have happened!
So if we're going to be honest, Trump bears the blame for making that agreement and Biden bears the blame for carrying that agreement out. As far as I'm concerned, both were equally incompetent. Neither listened to experts.
