Without US support, the Afghan army barely put up a fight

Because the government they were meant to defend had little if any legitimacy.

Rigging elections is bad, kids.

Some of us will never forget how the American MSM deliberately drove Biden's ratings 15-20 points downwards out of sheer and simple spite over him abandoning this unwinnable forever war.

(including lots of "liberals", it goes without saying - hope they enjoy the coming Trumpian resurgence)

Seems like it has a fine culture with good people in it. Sadly, interference from the outside world and theocracy has made the place a sh*tshow for the moment. And as others have already said, the disunity of many Afghani tribes would have probably caused problems regardless, but it wouldn't be as bad.

1: I don’t really think you would talk about tribes in the context of Afghanistan.

Um, why not?
