And the sad reality is, the US military can’t stay in Afghanistan forever. The Taliban only needed to wait us out - and they have succeeded in doing so.

Well, no. You only needed to convince the Afghan people that there was an alternative.

Ok, I admit that that was a difficult project.
But the US/NATO never really tried.

And don’t forget that the Taliban is a Pakistani ISI invention (possibly with CIA nods and winks).
