While we fight for a path to citizenship, let’s also hope the country still exists by the time we gain its citizenship.

America will be fine. Trillions of dollars spent in the middle east in 20 years, many American lives lost. Every General in those 20 years saying progress was being made. There's no way the Taliban could've taken Afghanistan so fast if their own people fought and they had US military supplies. Whatever the US and allies were doing, it was not working and it is now obvious. The saying goes "you can lead a horse to water but you can't force it to drink."
It may look bad but what's worse is spending another 20 years, trillions more dollars, and more American lives for what? The Taliban takes 2 months instead of just 1 month to take over the entire country? Pulling out is a good call. Both Trump and Biden wanted to pull out of Afghanistan.
