the usa should've never pulled out to begin with, biden is completely responsible for this, and I have not voted democrat since 2016.

Eh. The USA should have never been there for 20 years to begin with. I hate Biden and the democrats, but I still feel like he's being criticized too harshly for a long string of presidential mistakes. And that this would have happened regardless.

I respectfully disagree, if the only thing keeping them from fucking around with girls and women, was the us being there, then I wouldn't have minded if we stayed there, like forever, if it meant this shit would happen. besides china wants this shit to happen, to undermine the usa.

The US has consistently destabilised countries that made strides in being more secular and that could push back against the Taliban, for its own political gain (like Syria and Libya). They've given money to militant religiously-motivated rebels that even they admitted weren't "ideologically pure in the way US would've wanted". One of their biggest allies is Saudi Arabia. Helping women has never been their goal, it was an accidental side-effect.
