Blame?

He's just stating the hard facts. We wasted upwards over a trillion over the last two decades training and arming the Afghans who, at the end of the day, had zero interest in fighting for freedom. Not sure how that's Biden's fault.
There is a difference between zero interest in fighting and a low probability in winning. It is possible, and likely, that both were true. That doesn't change the fact that the debacle and lack of planning was indeed blamed on the Afghan forces' lack of interest in fighting. Yes, the blaming is real and the blaming is obnoxious and the blaming is disgusting. But go on there hard charger, you just keep making excuses for why it is someone else's fault that this debacle is happening.
The obvious solution to the ‘debacle’ of the Afghani military not engaging the Taliban is for us to do the fighting for them. Or to tell them what to do and how to do it and force them to do that. Or to supply them with more and better equipment than the Taliban had and force them to use it. It’s all that simple, according to some.

Could you be less sensitive? You used a racist and offensive term, as usual. We expect that from you.
I expected that you’d toss up a straw man, and be wrong about it anyway. : D

And none of your points are relevant to the debacle. You should shut up, racist.
Then you can tell us which part of ‘the debacle’ you’d like to discuss, since you keep using ‘the debacle’.

Or not.

That is not how it works, you damned troll pissboy.

Do you have something to say? If so, say it. If not, shut the “F” up. Your needling questions without any substance is obnoxious. You have a few canned responses and a few fillers.

Canned Responses:
CR1 - Whatever Doc Cam says, I like.
CR2 - Q/Trump/Right Wing is to blame.
CR3 - I know you are but what am I?
CR4 - Say something that I can say is wrong, or else.

Filler Responses:
FR1 - A picture with some words.
FR2 - I know you are but what am I, again.
FR3 - "I have you on ignore."

If you ever decide to be anything but a stupid useful damned pissboy, that would be great. In the meantime, just cut your response short and use the alphanumeric reference.

You’re complaining about ‘the debacle’.

Which is …?

He doesn't know. He just knows it's his duty to repeat the idiotic mantra from right wingnut media.

I mean seriously, no one on the Right has been able to explain what should have been done differently.

Agreed.

But it sure is a whole lotta fun watching him dance around so poorly.

Do you have no idea what you’re talking about? Or are you just so senile that you forgot what you were prattling on about, already?

Wow. You can’t even interpret your own list correctly.

Again, with your inability to interpret your own list.

I think that the ‘filler response’ is dodging an answer as to what this debacle is that you assert exists. : D
