Gravitas Plus: Are Taliban America's Frankenstein's monster?

Here is WION Executive Editor Palki Sharma Upadhyay giving more details about what happened in Afghanistan was a collective failure of generations of the US Presidents. 

New Delhi: Last week, the entire world witnessed one of the major humanitarian crises as the Taliban insurgents captured Afghanistan's capital Kabul. The fear of a brutal Taliban regime led to desperation among Afghan citizens and foreigners residing in the war-torn country, who have been either fleeing or trying to leave the country ever since the insurgents made a rapid advance across Afghanistan.  There have been gut-wrenching images and videos of people trying to escape, with some even falling to death from a plane while trying to flee. Pictures have also gone viral that show parents handing over their baby to the US troops over the perimeter wall of the airport in Kabul.  However, as the world hung its head in shame, there was no sign of remorse in the US, which, in a way, was a coldhearted betrayal by Washington that should have weighed heavily on its conscience.
