Yes, they can certainly criticize the US as most Americans agree. After 20 years in Afghanistan, it was time to leave. We just don’t like the way it was carried out by Biden.
Without the US forces there, who else would want to take on the Taliban alone? I suspect also, other supporting countries were only there because of loyalty to the States.
It's a complete waste of time and resources. We aren't the world's police. People get mad when we intervine and send aid but then they also get mad when we stop. There is no sense in being a nation of handouts.
Only communist China will threaten war if you criticize them. Also, North Korea's leader "Kim sucks dong", will threaten nuclear war if you call him phat.
Absolutely this d deserves criticism across the board. It was horribly executed. So many general officers should be resigning in shame right now. This was a catastrophe. There should be criticism from the world over.

Human remains were found in wheel wells of coward aircraft leaving that ran over people that back us up. Ill bet terrified afgan president ran, knowing idiot biden now in charge of withdraw.. Now we know. why.. lol..
Of course they have a right to criticize. They have a right, and they most definitely should. What Biden did to Afghanistan was a betrayal, plain and simple.
Any country can and should do or say what they want to.

To be honest I’m getting tired of all of this because sometimes no matter what someone does they can never win, and as much as I think America has many problems it should work out, I do feel like they’re being scapegoated in this somewhat.
I more or less look down on any country that criticizes America. Usually the reasons why criticisms are being thrown in the first place are stupid and this is no different.

Yes, because they have made the Taliban a world military power.

They failed to colonize Afghanistan. Not many know the purpose of the Taliban was always to stop foreign governments from taking over Afghanistan and destroying their culture
The Taliban were created in 1994. They took over much of Afghanistan in 1996. But were still fighting a Civil War against the Northern Alliance by 2001 (who only held 10% of the nation). It was the Northern Alliance, with US aid that overthrew the Taliban and created the Afghan Government.
However, it was also the corruption of that Afghan Government that led to its collapse. The United States military role in Afghanistan was relatively tiny from 2014-21 It wasn't even playing a combat role, but a support role and its manpower decreased from 100,000 in 2010.. to 16,000 in 2014... to 2,000 in 2020
Not really a "lost war" when you aren't even fighting it anymore. It was clearly recognized the Afghan Government was not worthy of investment However, the withdrawal process (and many decisions from Biden) were terrible and simply made the situation worse.
You clearly don't know your history of the conflict.
The Northern Alliance were full of figures that led the Mujhadeen Government of 1992 ^ which collapsed after Hektmayar denounced it. On top of this, they were also major commanders of the Mujhadeen that fought against the Nabijullah Government, and USSR.
The Taliban were outsiders (largely formed in Pakistan) developed by Omar, who was a member of a Hezbi Islami Khellis.. which was one of the many Mujhadeen factions during the Soviet conflict.
The Taliban in the 1990s were able to take advantage of the Civil War that took place after the collapse of the Mujhadeen Government of 1992.
Various Mujhadeen commanders were fighting for supremacy.. weakening each other. The Taliban were able to quickly take over much of the nation due to this.. Some of those Mujhadeen commanders (especially Northerners) formed the Northern Alliance eventually over time.
The Taliban were also able to take advantage of the Afghan Government's corruption.. which led to the downfall of the current regime.
Yes, you allow us to criticize you for being "too white".
It's not the fact that you retreated, is that you retreated purposefully so badly that the brits held biden in contempt.

Probably realized that it was pointless and a waste of money and lives being there after so long and not accomplishing anything, so I really don’t think any other countries have any right to criticize the move

If some country does that we should sanction
you should learn about "realpolitik"
nice troll account

the way it was done yes, you get your people out first. they did the very same thing in Vietnam. you would think we would learn from our mistakes.

I think they have the right to criticize the way the Biden administration handled it.
It's quite obvious that many Americans are not very happy about it at all.

Yes, they do. It's obvious that no one can trust us as an ally.

@HistoryMan30 the northern alliance was being used as a tool of other nations. Theyre weakies

Because Europeans are pussies.
They want America to get its hands dirty and protect their liberal asses.

sadly... the troops left the Americans living there behind, Biden had absolutely no concern for our own citizens... disgraceful
