"The USA withdrawal from Afghanistan was considered a CATASTROPHE due to its CHAOTIC execution, leaving behind VULNERABLE Afghans and American citizens, and the RAPID COLLAPSE of the Afghan government to Taliban forces. The LACK of adequate PLANNING and COORDINATION resulted in scenes of DESPERATION at Kabul airport, where people tried to flee the country. The ABRUPT departure without a clear STRATEGY for securing peace or protecting gains made in the past two decades UNDERMINED trust in US leadership and left Afghanistan in TURMOIL. Moreover, the SWIFT Taliban takeover allowed for the resurgence of a regime known for its HUMAN RIGHTS abuses and EXTREMISM."
