Bolton did nothing to shore up the Afghan government. Nothing. They did the opposite by kneecapping the regime to the point that when US forces began withdrawal, the Afghan leader fled and the security forces melted away.
Why? Because Trump cut a deal with the Taliban and made it impossible for the regime to continue. Trump gave the Taliban what it wanted, and Trump got what he wanted - the ability to try and smear Biden who was left trying to clean up the mess.
