How and Why Did the Afghan Army Fall so Quickly to The Taliban?

Mmmhmmm...I feel bad for those who really wanted a democracy..

Yeah, agreed.

The entire world see's what is happening, and the entire world sits back and allows these goat ****ers to dominate a population through terror.

The United Nations authorized the Gulf War for for lesser reasons, but the UN say's that Afghanistan is a civil matter even though Al Qaeda which is a international terrorist organization, will be a welcomed guests by the Taliban.

Though in terms of "honesty" Biden is many light years ahead of his most recent predecessor, he's still a politician and I still think he oversold it. Even I won't give him too much credit.

But nobody has been snookered by the Taliban here. The plan was to pull out and cut losses, no matter who takes over.

Biden lied? What a shit snack. No wonder there is so much chaos.

There was a lot of corruption in that government. I heard the former president skipped town with 160 million in cash

The staff of "Kabul Bank" embezzled $850,000,000 from the funds that the US government had sent to Afghanistan to pay for "rebuilding". The US government had the evidence. The US government refused to prosecute. This did NOT happen during Mr. Biden's presidency.

They basically hustled us for a free ride. That seems pretty clear to me!

China/Taiwan, the Philippines, Vietnam, it has happened before because the movers and shakers believed what they wanted to believe rather than paying any attention to reality.

The Taliban leadership may be "fanatics" but they are NOT "stupid fanatics".

We lost a lot of money

So... Taliban now guarantee that Afghan soil won't be used for terrorism against USA -- in the same way they guarantee that Afghan soil was never used for terrorism against USA in 2001...

Hmmm....

Somebody's stupid here

Aside from the fact that your statement that the Taliban did NOT "guarantee that Afghan soil was never used for terrorism against USA in 2001" is so divorced from reality than no one credits you with actually believing it and you made it in order to establish that you are a faithful parrot of the BS from "Claque Failed Casino Operator"- your point would be, what?

Good observation!
