The fact that this person thinks the Afghanistan exit was a success should have let you know he is a crackpot well before the last sentence.

The Afghanistan exit was a completely predictable colossal failure, but it did mean we stopped lighting money on fire in Afghanistan.

Ignore that we funded the taliban and warlords for the next 50 years with 1.9 billion in vehicles, machine guns, small arms, night vision, and explosives?

		Don't forget that before, the Talibs were seen as crazy fundamentalists and outsiders, probably called Khariji IIRC. US bombings convinced the people to them and made them into state protecting freedom fighters, which they initially were not. What you resist, persists. What you fight, grows stronger.
