    "The fact that [Donald] Trump negotiated directly with the Taliban and cut the Afghan government out at [talks in] Doha, was a major morale hit to the Afghan government,” he said. “And then suddenly Biden announcing that the US would be leaving come what may by September 11, I think, knocked the stuffing out of the Afghan armed forces. Because if you think your government is likely to collapse in the next few weeks, you’re not going to go out and die for it.”

    - Peter Ricketts, former UK National Security Advisor
