@Trudeausucks2024 Trump isn't a "weak leader"? 😄
Who do you think signed the withdrawal agreement?
Biden owns the chaotic last few weeks, but the withdrawal plan originated with Trump.
He made a terrible deal that threw away a 20 year investment the country in return for cutting & running. He caved to the Taliban, & sold out the Afghan government, in return for a promise not to harm US servicemen. John Ratliff, Trump's NSA, revealed that they were aware, while in office, that the Afghan army would collapse. Not surprising given that negotiations with the taliban were conducted without involvement of the Afghan government
• The Trump administration secured the release of the leader of the Taliban from a Pakistani jail in 2018.
• He made the withdrawal deal with the Taliban -- without including the Afghan government in negotiations.
• He continued the withdrawal despite the Taliban attacking Afghan government forces & taking over cities.
• He made the Afghan government release 5,000 Taliban prisoners.
• He withdrew almost all the troops except for 2,500 before he left office.
• And he failed to evacuate civilians, Afghan allies, & equipment simultaneously as he was drawing down the troops.
