Afghanistan. Aug 2021 was the retreat that converted that debacle into a loss.

Get out of here. Bull. Withdrawing from Afghanistan was one of the few things Biden did right. Also, how was Afghanistan a proxy war? If it was a proxy war in the sense it was China and Russia using the Taliban as a proxy against America, then yes, I agree, it was a proxy war.
