I can see where you are coming from on Afghanistan. Essentially, Trump laid a trap for Biden and Biden walked straight into it. The negotiation was essentially the Vietnam Peace Agreement all over again. You allow us to tiptoe away and then you can do what you want with Afghanistan.
Unfortunately,the Biden Administration refused to recognize the truth: The Taliban refused to honor their part of the bargain. They continued to take provinces by force or by bribery and US intelligence, the military apparently thought nothing of it. The result became a disaster.
Military leadership requires that contingencies be considered and planned for. It seems that the failure to plan for a very real contingency was a serious error. The Biden Administration cannot pass the buck!

That is not my read of the situation. Trump made a deal that he would renig on if he won in 2020. He set Biden, or whoever, up. Plain and simple.
