I don't think Biden gets a lot of say in the decisions he gets to make.

And really, it's the inevitable outcome. It's not by accident the Taliban have re-established themselves virtually overnight. They were already well entrenched in the civil service and armed forces.

The US had a chance for meaningful change and they didn't take it. It's not like Afghanistan is the only place in the world it's horrifying for vulnerable people to live. Given the spotlight on the region, it may even be comparatively benign.

It's Pakistan, not the Taliban that are going to be filling the real power vacuum in the region, assuming no one else steps in.
