Is Al-Qaeda/ISIS Returning?

[MAKAVELI25]

Never left and pulling out of Afghanistan was a gift to their movement because it gave them an entire country to regroup and reorganize.

Are you suggesting that the US should have stayed in Afghanistan?

Had Abbeygate not happened the fallout would be better received but Trump wants a base again…even though he negotiated the withdrawal in the first place that happened under biden

Yes, a small contingent of special forces, military trainers, interpreters and a couple companies of infantry troops.

We were in Afghanistan for over a decade fighting ISIS/ISIL and the Taliban, leveraging locals and causing tribal leaders who would normally be enemies to unite against the West. You can't just pick up and leave in the night after all of that, there needs to be a couple years (minimum) of a wind down to handle locals who worked with us as well make some light treaties and arrangements to prevent total Taliban control of the country again.

I dont think there was any way to prevent total Taliban control, but these are not unreasonable points.
