It would take several book lengths to parcel out blame for this debacle.

I will say that blaming Biden only, which most politics memes seem to be doing, simply because he’s President today and was the last to hold the bag, is reductive.

Both parties own this failure — four Presidents over 20 years own this failure — our allies own this failure — the Afghan people and their own corrupt and incompetent (former) leadership certainly own this failure.

Not really.
Biden could have orchestrated this a lot better if he knew what he was doing. To paraphrase Gates, biden has been wrong on every foreign policy decision his entire poitical career.
He and his administration are a joke.
If Trump had pulled this shit, I would be saying the same thing. This is a major cluster-f**k, no matter who is in power.
Mathis and Milley created the myth that the trillions of dollars we squandered on "training up" the Afghan military in order to fight on their own was ready to keep order for the new Government.
A tribe of Pashtun goatherders rick-rolled the State Department, the Pentagon, and 4 Presidents.
