Biden delayed the plan to withdraw from Afghanistan. Then, he withdrew so many troops that he could not safely extract American citizens from the country. He also allowed the Taliban to capture billions of dollars in American weapons. Screwing up the withdrawal from Afghanistan is a separate issue from the trillions of dollars that were wasted trying to mold Afghanistan into an American-style republic. I oppose nation-building and I have always opposed it. Our military is at its best when blowing things up and killing enemies and we should never try to rebuild countries that were never properly civilized.

Following World War II, it made sense to help rebuild Europe and Japan because this country needed trading partners to buy our products. In most cases, we should only go to war to punish nations for attacking American interests and there should be no rebuilding the nations who provoke us.

Didn’t Trump cut us to 2500 troops before he left office?  Which is the count we had before Biden sent in support troops. 

Are you lying on purpose or just don’t know what you’re talking about?

YES Quooter is lying he and TRT like to throw in some extra goodies hoping you might not catch them

I don't think that anybody knows what the troop level was when Biden took office or what it was a week ago. The Trump administration stopped publicizing troop levels long before Biden took office and as far as I know, the Biden administration has not resumed publishing those levels. It is stupid to let an enemy know how many troops are deployed during wartime. When troops are deployed, they are given a range of possible deployment dates for the sake of operational security.

My understanding is that Biden drew down the number of troops, but obviously, if we were forced to surrender either Bagram AFB or the Hamid Karzai International Airport, then more troops were needed to ensure an orderly withdrawal from the country and handover of power to the Afghan government.

Uhhh…so you have been blathering all through this thread and you didn’t know what the hell you’re talking about?!   

Almost everything you typed is wrong.   
Trump admin announced the number of troops before leaving office in January. Biden admin announced the numbers around 2500-3000 just last month.

Wrong. He announced a target for January 15. I don't believe an official number was ever published, but if you have "official" numbers, then post them. For example, there were troops remaining in Syria after Trump ordered them withdrawn. You can't believe the numbers that presidents give in speeches, nor can you believe media estimates based on unnamed sources. Troop levels and deployment dates are closely guarded secrets. 

The bottom line is that Biden has been in office for seven months. If the troop levels were inadequate, then there was plenty of time for him to have made appropriate adjustments. Your feeble attempts to blame Trump for every Biden failure are failing miserably.
