United States President Joe Biden on Monday is set to address the Taliban’s takeover of the Afghan capital Kabul, an event that capped a lightning offensive that saw the group capture most of Afghanistan in a matter of days.US military officials had warned of the vulnerability of Afghan forces for years, including when former President Donald Trump announced in February 2020 that US troops would leave the country by May of this year.Those warnings continued as the Biden administration said it would proceed with the withdrawal to end the US’s longest war, while extending the deadline for the pull-out to August 31.
