In effect to Tapper asking if Biden is liable for the “disastrous” Afghanistan withdrawal, Sec. Blinken answered:

First, we’ve known each on and said each on including the president that the Taliban was at its top presumption of strength astatine immoderate clip since 2001 when it was past successful complaint of the country. That is the Taliban that we inherited. And truthful we saw they were very much susceptible of going connected the offensive and opening to take back the country. 

But astatine the aforesaid time, we had invested implicit four administrations billions of dollars on with the international assemblage successful the Afghan information and defence forces. Building a modern military. With the astir blase equipment. 300,000 forces strong. With an aerial unit the Taliban didn’t have. And the information is we’ve seen that force has been incapable to defend the country. That has happened much quickly than we anticipated. 

The Withdrawal Messiness Is Not President Biden’s Fault

What the satellite is witnessing unfold successful Afghanistan is wherefore 3 erstwhile administrations each decided to stay. The Afghan authorities was propped up by the United States and has had a occupation with authorities forces being consenting to combat the Taliban for decades.

Tapper was approaching his questions from the position of leaving much US troops successful the country, but it doesn’t substance however galore troops the US would permission successful Afghanistan if the Afghan radical are not consenting to combat for democracy.

Some successful the firm media are mode much invested successful staying successful Afghanistan than the American people. The American radical privation the US retired of Afghanistan.

It is clip for the warfare to extremity and for the radical of Afghanistan to beryllium liable for their ain country.

It is irresponsible to blasted Joe Biden for a hard withdrawal whose conditions were enactment successful spot by George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.
