It made sense to ally with them to defeat the soviets, because the soviet union was still a credible nuclear threat at the time. The mujahideen\taliban, while awful, were primitive goat farmers. Which is the bigger threat? War is messy and imprecise. That still doesn't excuse biden's handling of the US withdraw. We betrayed and abandoned american citizens, allies like the UK, and sympathetic afghan allies. We pulled our military out literally over a weekend, BEFORE the citizens. What the actual hell?? How can anybody even attempt to defend this? Yes it was going to be chaotic no matter what, but it didn't have to be *this* chaotic and that falls squarely on Biden.
Whatever deals trump negotiated are moot, he's not the commander in chief anymore, biden is. I'm sure trump negotiated those deals expecting to win re-election and thus oversee their execution. He didn't win, so now it's biden's job, and he failed. Simple as that. Accept it, you elected somebody even more incompetent than trump. Cope.
