It's their country. It's not ours. We have no inherent right to any of their territory, and it was Trump who arranged the timeline by which we had to leave, forcing Biden to either break the agreement or rush the exit. The rushed exit was Trump's fault and Biden would have been blamed no matter what he did.

Dementia Don and his handlers know that they won't be able to negotiate this with the Taliban, which is the Afghan government for all intents and purposes. This is just another possible location to start the war that they want so they can finish the US takeover.
