Afghan government didn’t think US would actually leave

 Because we’ve been so good at sticking around until mission is met.

1. The Afghans didn’t think we were serious about leaving. That probably came from all our double talking on the topic, maybe even Biden’s postponement of the pullout deadline. Nobody thought we were leaving, which is why all those Americans in-country didn’t bother to leave when told to GTFO.

2. The Afghan government was excluded from peace negotiations with the Taliban. Which should have been an obvious problem point to even a casual observer.

3. They were excluded, because it was thought that would (somehow) help the Afghans integrate the Taliban into their government. I’m not sure how that would help, but I’m no international relations expert.

4. Lastly, the Taliban wasn’t really interested in negotiating. Shocker.
