It is not inevitable… I trust the capacity to the Afghan military, who is better trained, better equipped and more competent in terms of conducting war." It only took the Taliban five weeks to prove Biden wrong and to expose the hypocrisy of America's 20 years of "constructive engagement" in Afghanistan.
