Ουάσινγκτον (AP) - Καθώς η κυβέρνηση του προέδρου Ντόναλντ Τραμπ υπέγραψε μια ειρηνευτική συμφωνία με τους Ταλιμπάν τον Φεβρουάριο του 2020, διακήρυξε με αισιοδοξία ότι «πιστεύουμε ότι θα είμαστε επιτυχημένοι στο τέλος». Ο υπουργός Εξωτερικών του, Μάικ Πομπέο, δήλωσε ότι η κυβέρνηση «αρπάζει την καλύτερη ευκαιρία για ειρήνη σε μια γενιά».

Δεκαοκτώ μήνες αργότερα, ο Πρόεδρος Τζο Μπάιντεν επισημαίνει τη συμφωνία που υπογράφηκε στη Ντόχα του Κατάρ, καθώς προσπαθεί να αποτρέψει την ευθύνη για τους Ταλιμπάν που ξεπέρασαν το Αφγανιστάν. Λέει ότι τον υποχρέωσε να αποσύρει τα αμερικανικά στρατεύματα, δημιουργώντας το έδαφος για το χάος που κατακλύζει τη χώρα.

Αλλά ο Μπάιντεν μπορεί να προχωρήσει τόσο πολύ υποστηρίζοντας ότι η συμφωνία τον εγκιβωτίζει. Είχε ρήτρα διαφυγής: Οι ΗΠΑ θα μπορούσαν να είχαν αποσυρθεί από τη συμφωνία εάν αποτύγχαναν οι ειρηνευτικές συνομιλίες στο Αφγανιστάν. Το έκαναν, αλλά ο Μπάιντεν επέλεξε να μείνει σε αυτό, αν και καθυστέρησε την πλήρη αποχώρηση από τον Μάιο έως τον Σεπτέμβριο.

Ο Κρις Μίλερ, εν ενεργεία υπουργός Άμυνας τους τελευταίους μήνες της κυβέρνησης Τραμπ, έπεισε την ιδέα ότι ο Μπάιντεν πέρασε χειροπέδες από τη συμφωνία.
