Of course the guy who's in charge there now is a total piece of work, but he's the result of decades of the US deliberately trying to radicalize them. At first it was to give the USSR an enemy to fight, then it was to have an excuse to invade them. The campaign goes back at least to Regan and has never let up. There was even an article about how the US was sending school books to Afghani students, books that were designed to radicalize them. When I find it again I'll link to it here.
Basically, militant Islamic terrorism was invented wholesale by the US to fight communism, and it came back to bite us in the ass. (Which is an open secret now.) When it did, the government decided to profit off it. (Halliburton, wars over oil, etc.) Which is why it's taken so bloody long for us to pull out of Afghanistan. They only stopped when it was no longer profiting them to stay.
So don't let the Republicans pin this mess on Biden. They're the ones who started it way back in Reagan's era, made it worse in both Bush eras. Also the guy in charge in Afghanistan now was freed from prison by Trump. Biden is a fascist as well (he hasn't freed the concentration camp prisoners and is still using Trump era immigration policies among other crimes) but this mess isn't in any way shape or form his mess.
