When Biden made that sudden pull out of Afghanistan, some news stations were blaming Trump and saying it was his fault that the US had to pull out so quickly and leave the billions of dollars of equipment, not to mention, many Americans. It had already been pre-arranged by Trump and he did it on purpose, to make Biden look bad and he didn't even care if it hurt Americans or made the country look bad.
So, my question is, did Trump actually plan out this removal? And if he did, when was this supposed 'pre-arranged' pull out agreement made? Was it done after the election, before Biden was inaugurated? Any details you can give me would be appreciated, particularly if they are served with sauce. I can't keep up with the details of everything, so I have to pick and choose. I figured there are some people here who chose to know the deep details of this situation. Thank you!
From what I understand. Trump laid the groundwork for an organized withdrawal. With stipulations and stages. That would at least on Paper result in the U.S backed Afghan-Government retaining power.
Biden or whoever is behind him pulling the strings. Decided on a Vietnam style pullout. Presumably because it suited some goal.
And much like Vietnam. The U.S backed Local Army that was supposed to takeover for withdrawing U.S Forces collapsed. Because they weren’t capable of taking over. Nor was the confidence in them by U.S commanders on the ground high throughout the U.S occupation. Regardless of what the Pentagon says.
