Those who left and those who could not flee speak of a country in ruins and decry the world’s apathy towards the humanitarian crisis and the lack of rights, mainly for women, which a UN report describes as ‘gender apartheid’
Biden extended the date to by August 31st but it fell to the Taliban ~ August 6th-15th.
Biden blames it on the Afghan Army not fighting and President fleeing the country. He is probably deflecting but I am not seeing anything about the Taliban having any major military victories or strategy besides showing up and announcing themselves.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they had eventually won with their experience like you said but it doesn’t appear that they needed to fight.
Trump signed an agreement with the Taliban on February 29th, 2020 to withdraw by May 1st 2021. Most troops were withdrawn.
