That shit show was caused by mango mussolini's release of 5K Taliban troops and reducing the US troop presence to 2500 making it impossible to manage to evacuate more orderly by the agreed exist before date. None of it was the result of Biden's decision. Unless of course you wish to claim Biden should have refused to honor the US given word.

Lets say thats true, why didnt they bring back the troops and equipment necessary to do the job correctly then?

The main problem was where they did the withdrawal from, and how they did it.

instead of saying ignorant bullshit, read the actual facts.

"The choice I had to make, as your president, was either to follow through on that agreement or be prepared to go back to fighting the Taliban in the middle of the spring fighting season,” Biden said.

Again, your ignorance is no one's fault but your own.
