      When the US pulled out the Taliban didn’t have to fight to take control. The population was ready and willing to put them back into power.

      This was the choice the country made. It’s not our place to step into their internal politics at this point. The US did that for years and they decided very clearly they didn’t want that.

        A small point of distinction, this is the choice their chickenshit politicians and grifters made. The entire problem is that it wasn’t the choice made by Afghan women – if it was their choice, I suspect they’d still be fighting the Taliban and Kabul would still be standing with the same government.
