But if politics is ignored, the United States has made the Taliban more dangerous than ever. The United States trained the Afghan military, but in reality they were either allies of the Taliban or they were the Taliban themselves. In this way, the United States has taken a huge risk for itself until NATO or the United States return to Afghanistan?
Making a deal with the devil was the only way the US could possibly get out, seeing as barbarians living in the 8th century somehow have the capability of beating the Afghan military at its own game. Makes you wonder if the US had any faith that the Taliban would not immediately take over. If we are to believe Joe Biden's call with the Afghan President, then the answer is no.
Call it unethical if you want, but the US wants Afghanistan to be someone else's problem. Granted they (Bush admin really) were responsible for all of this, it was about time they got out.
