It remains unclear why the US military suddenly fled Afghanistan in 2021, leaving behind billions of dollars of equipment. It was clear a decade before that the American occupation was unnecessary and failed to tame the Afghan tribes.

It is wrong to say US decided to leave in 2021. Trump committed them to leave in 2020 or even 2019 probably knowing it would be a disaster. By 2020 there clearly was no credible way of staying without upping the presence enormously. US controlled much of Afghanistan by day, Taliban controlled almost all of it by night. The same applies to Trump and Ukraine – there was no way that war should have been continued beyond 2023, and Biden’s determination to dump it on Trump has cost 1 million mostly unwilling conscripted middle aged proxies their lives.
