Or the fact that he fucked up Afghanistan withdrawal so hard he basically gave the Taliban a billion dollars in weapons, military vehicles and other materiel.
Okay hold on. The equipment being left behind is not something that was avoidable. That’s the entire reason we signed it over to the ANA. Anything we actually cared about was already out of the country or air shippable and ready to go. Just on a logistics note, we spent 20 years shipping equipment into the country. There was no way it was all getting removed in 6 months.
And the only way he could have stopped the cascade failure was to foresee it and rapidly deploy several light infantry brigades. On day 1, January 21st, 2020. The Taliban were in a go mode from the day Trump lost the election because they were afraid Biden would go back on the “deal”. That’s why there was a cascade failure. They got to spend 7 months herding sympathetic politicians into line. And any attempt to walk away from Trump’s folly would have triggered their main force coming over the border.
So without being psychic, and without super powers to teleport years worth of logistics, this was always the way it was going to happen. Which is the entire reason Trump put the date past the election.

Gotta love every armchair general that incorrectly thinks they know more than the difference between their asshole and a hole in the ground.
