I don't know if anything bad happened to America it's Trump's fault but signing that treaty with Taliban is a big mistake, he signs that, knowing the Ghani government is not going to be able to sustain their attack alone and sidelining the Ghani government as well, and then singlehandedly raise the withdraw limit. Esper want 4500 to remain in Afghanistan by 2021, Trump left 1500, and took out the entirety of the Air Power and by the time Taliban took over, less than 1000 was in country, you can't hold the entire country with 1000 US Troop.
So yes, that's Trump fault, you can ask any Afghan vet and they will say the same thing. You don't need to be in the military to know that's it is the end when he signs that treaty, 20 years of effort he ended it to try to save his presidency which he couldn't anyway
Without the support of the Afghans, the Taliban could not have survived and seized power after 20 years of being purged by the United States.
So the real mistake was that instead of bringing bread and jobs to Afghans, several US presidents dropped bombs on their heads.
Trump put an end to this senseless drain on US national power. He was the only one who made the right choice.
