So, what’s your point? @SenAmyKlobuchar sounds like she advocating to help, and you are just flipping the subject to throw blame instead of support for our Afghan allies now?

Donald Trump Administration (2017–2021):
•Doha Agreement with the Taliban (2020):
•The Trump administration negotiated a peace agreement with the Taliban in February 2020, known as the Doha Agreement. This deal committed the U.S. to withdraw all troops from Afghanistan by May 2021 in exchange for Taliban promises to reduce violence and break ties with terrorist organizations.
•Critics argue this agreement sidelined the Afghan government, delegitimizing its role, and strengthened the Taliban. The deal was seen as prioritizing withdrawal over ensuring a stable transition, leading to deteriorated relations with Afghan allies who felt abandoned.

Joe Biden Administration (2021–Present):
•U.S. Withdrawal from Afghanistan (2021):
•President Biden implemented the withdrawal plan established under the Trump administration, although he extended the timeline to August 31, 2021.
•The chaotic withdrawal, including the fall of Kabul and the Taliban’s rapid takeover, led to criticism of poor planning and insufficient protection for U.S. allies, such as Afghan interpreters, contractors, and others who assisted American forces.
•Many Afghan allies were left behind, and the Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) process was overwhelmed and delayed, leaving thousands at risk of Taliban retaliation. This significantly damaged U.S. credibility among its allies.
•The U.S.’s decision to freeze Afghan assets and halt foreign aid after the Taliban takeover also worsened humanitarian crises, further straining relations.

George W. Bush Administration (2001–2009):
•Initial Invasion and Strategic Focus Shift:
•The U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, following the 9/11 attacks, ousted the Taliban and sought to eliminate al-Qaeda. While initially supported, the Bush administration’s decision to shift focus to the Iraq War in 2003 weakened the effort in Afghanistan.
•The under-resourced and prolonged war allowed the Taliban to regroup, creating long-term instability and undermining the trust of Afghan allies.
•Corruption in U.S.-backed Afghan governments and reliance on controversial warlords also caused significant damage to relations.

Barack Obama Administration (2009–2017):
•Surge and Drawdown:
•President Obama approved a troop surge in 2009 to stabilize Afghanistan but announced plans for a drawdown at the same time. Critics argue this dual approach emboldened the Taliban, as they knew the U.S. commitment was limited.
•The decision to focus on negotiating with the Taliban and reduce U.S. troop presence was seen by some Afghan leaders as a signal that the U.S. was prioritizing its exit strategy over long-term stability.

Key Observations:
1.Trump: Criticized for legitimizing the Taliban through the Doha Agreement and undermining Afghan allies.
2.Biden: Widely blamed for the chaotic withdrawal and abandoning Afghan partners.
3.Bush: Accused of diverting resources to Iraq and mismanaging the initial phase of rebuilding Afghanistan.
4.Obama: Criticized for a strategy that lacked clarity and resolve, undermining long-term Afghan stability.

Ultimately, each administration played a role in shaping the trajectory of U.S.-Afghanistan relations, with varying degrees of damage to Afghan allies. The Biden administration’s withdrawal and its aftermath are often highlighted as a particularly stark example of strained relations and the abandonment of Afghan allies.
