Yet you completely gloss over the decisions he made (or in most cases didn't make) that directed resulted in what we are seeing today and just say 'oh, this was always going to happen this way because reasons and shite.'
This isn’t a defense of Biden, it’s a defense of getting the hell out of that country.
Because it sure looks like the media and the powers that be are pushing for the next pointless US military involvement and stirring up more pissed off American support of whatever war or conflict they choose next.

Everyone agrees we should pull out which would undoubtedly cause chaos in the country.
We pull out.
Chaos ensues.
“The taliban are in control!?? No!! We need to go to war!”
Rip the bandaid off and get the hell out of there. Too many US soldiers and innocent civilians have died because of our presence. Enough is enough.
By leaving US civilians and the Afghans that helped us behind. fricking genius strategy. This isn’t to cut off your nose to spite your face. This is cutting off your own head to spite your face.

I've NEVER hated a US president like I loathe Biden. NOTHING would bring me more pleasure than to watch him suffer and bleed publicly.

This is what happens under one party rule. No party should ever control the presidency and both houses of Congress. No party, not even my own.

No, it looks like they are doing their fricking job for a change.

Imagine telling your boss that the project you're running would've been a disaster regardless of who was running it. It's such a weak statement used to deflect blame and it's obvious to everyone.

We were able to do it without issue in Vietnam and Iraq.
But then again we also evacuated our civilians before we pulled all our troops out.
You again and again ignore this very important point.

Unconfirmed but rumors are that AT LEAST 13 American civilians are dead and 15 are critically wounded.

We also put the military in charge, not the State Department.

Lots of people pretending to care about US lives only now when they have been lost over the past 20 years as a direct result of being in that country.

How long did you wear the uniform. How many times did you deploy?

I’m talking about over the past 20 years. This was going to be a shite show no matter who was running it. Trump knew it would look like a debacle and didn’t want to take the hit. Biden’s senile arse just said frick it, I’ll take the heat.
No one is denying that the Taliban would have taken back over if we withdrew and we’d not be seeing horrific atrocities. What could have been saved is not seeing American heads lopped off, Marines killed, terrorists taking tens of billions of dollars of equipment and weaponry from us, our allies questioning our allegiance to us, make China begin actively planning to invade Taiwan, and having every Afghan who helped us be brutally killed and their families sold off to sex slavery. That could have been avoided by anyone with a room temperature IQ or above.

Honestly I don't even hate Biden the man that much
I hate what he represents, and I hate the millions of "Americans" who continue to walk knowingly and enthusiastically into an age of American decline

That is not a true statement. Are you saying Trump would have cancelled pulling out if re-elected? Or are you saying he stole the election from himself so he could avoid "taking the hit"?

People caring about lives lost over 20 years IS WHY WE ARE LEAVING
Biden didn't altruistically settle on the idea of departure, public sentiment led to this
All we wanted from our leaders was to extricate us with at least a shred of American dignity and minimal damage to Americans and those who had our back

Less than a week ago, Brave Sir Biden said:
“We’ve made clear to the Taliban that any attack — any attack on our forces or disruption of our operations at the airport will be met with a swift and forceful response."

I think I’ve been pretty vocal on here that we needed to leave the moment we killed Bin Laden.
