Historical Context

The chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan culminated on August 30, 2021, following the Taliban's rapid takeover of Kabul on August 15. This marked the end of a 20-year military engagement, leading to significant political fallout for President Biden, whose approval rating plummeted to 41%.
