Biden had intelligence reports that indicated a take over by the Taliban was at least 18 months away from the time of April 2021 when personal that was not essential were ordered to leave the US embassy.
Biden's people tried to get Afgan leaders to make concessions to the Taliban so a rapid take over could be prevented. They did not. It's not Biden's job to give the AG people the will to fight. We have been training them for about 20 years.
Bottom line: The Afgan leaders failed their people not Joe Biden.

Putting the inability to craft a statement in English aside, I am academically curious as to just how the FUCK you know what was contained in "intelligence reports" available to "Biden" and even if "Biden" read the GD reports even if he could comprehend the English language better than you?
One of "Biden's" cabinet members (THE DIRECTOR OF HOMELAND SECURITY!!!! .... who by the way has access to "intelligence reports") was just caught LYING to the U.S. citizens about the fucking mess the idiot for whom you voted created on the border!
I recognize that you, like all the other slogs in this country who voted for a demented idiot with a criminal son he raised, must continue to justify your own ignorance and stupidity by voting for A ZERO mentally and cognitively .... disregarding the SAFETY of the United States citizens ... but at least try to be honest in your discussions UNLIKE "BIDEN'S" CABINET!!!!
When the Afghan's start blowing up shit in this country are you going to still blame TRUMP?
Now ... as for YOUR INTELLIGENCE ASSESSMENT FROM YOUR REVIEW OF INTELLIGENCE REPORTS ...
I'll take the NY Times "ASSESSMENT" for the time being:

Intelligence Warned of Afghanistan Military Collapse, Despite Biden’s Assurances
WASHINGTON — Classified assessments by American spy agencies over the summer painted an increasingly grim picture of the prospect of a Taliban takeover of Afghanistan and warned of the rapid collapse of the Afghan military, even as President Biden and his advisers said publicly that was unlikely to happen as quickly, according to current and former American government officials.
By July, many intelligence reports grew more pessimistic, questioning whether any Afghan security forces would muster serious resistance and whether the government could hold on in Kabul, the capital. President Biden said on July 8 that the Afghan government was unlikely to fall and that there would be no chaotic evacuations of Americans similar to the end of the Vietnam War.
The drumbeat of warnings over the summer raise questions about why Biden administration officials, and military planners in Afghanistan, seemed ill-prepared to deal with the Taliban’s final push into Kabul, including a failure to ensure security at the main airport and rushing thousands more troops back to the country to protect the United States’ final exit.
That's "Trump's Fault"? Ignoring current intelligence assessments?
Like I said: There will be an investigation. Cabinet members LIED TO CONGRESS! Just like they've done about the border INSECURITY!
Pat yourself on the back for your vote! Six months into this disaster and look what you've done!
