I've tried to explain exactly that on several occasions but the usual suspects will entertain no criticism of their idol.
And quite bizarrely they believe that because we point out Trump's role in this we are expressing our support for Biden.
They seem incapable of - or unwilling to? - separating the two.
We care about the trapped US citizens.
But the crisis didnβt happen under Trump.
Whoβs watch did the current crisis happen on?

The Taliban became more aggressive because Biden extended the timeline from May to September

Now put trump in this exact same position as Joe is now. Would you be saying the same?
Yes , they both own this mess although Biden's hands were tied by the deal the Trump administration negotiated and signed.
John Bolton has called them Tweedledee and Tweedledum over this , one of the few times I've agreed with Bolton.

Joe is playing games with himself?

in the end he pulled out earlier than planned because the Taliban were making their move and he didn't want to get caught up in it.

Joe may be an empty suit but the facts are there to see , this failure is owned by American politics not one administration.

And what do you think would have happened if the US started bombing the Taliban in contravention of the peace deal ?

Not paying attention?
Joe did NOT evacuate our equipment or people.
THAT is what everyone is upset about.
Joe gave taliban easy victory with none of the promised air support.
And STILL didn't consider evacuating our equipment or people.
Joe made that decision over 3 months ago.
No planes or ships on the way until press finally started reporting on it a WEEK ago.
THAT is what joe did.
And YOU are defending.
Shameful.

Bombing was PROMISED in the peace deal.
βThe United States has increased air strikes in support of Afghan forces over the last several days and weβre prepared to continue this heightened level of support in the coming weeks if the Taliban continue their attacks,β US Marine General Kenneth McKenzie said during a news conference in the capital Kabul on Sunday.

So Trump started the mass but he is absolved of any responsibility even though his timeline of May would still have seen the final withdrawal just earlier , granted Biden's decision to push the timeline back led to the Taliban making their move before the evacuation but still the result would have largely been the same.

Yes, I saw that at the time.
