  1. I thought it was a joint effort. In fact, American troops formed a minority in Afghanistan when the withdrawal started.

  2.  Soon to be banned for writing facts   Don't be preposterous. As of January 15, 2021, there were 2,500 US troops left in Afghanistan. All in all, 9,592 coalition troops remained. Do the math.

  3.  Soon to be banned for writing facts   You're still being silly. Which part of "American troops formed a minority in Afghanistan when the withdrawal started" is false? I produced the figures that prove me right. It seems you've come to the realisation that you can only win the argument if you move the goal posts. I'm sorry, but I'm neither jealous nor embarrassed that Murica wasted thousands of its soldiers' lives and misspent over 2 trillion dollars in Afghanistan. We signed up for a UN-authorized peacekeeping and reconstruction mission -- as a non-member, NATO's Article 5 didn't apply to us -- and completed it. Yes, as soon as ISAF made way for RSM in 2014, we redeployed the bulk of our troops to Lebanon, Kurdistan and Mali. You should feel embarrassed and jealous, because already in 2014, we had the presence of mind that was still sorely lacking in Washington DC.
