What's the alternative to Afghanistan situation?

NC as don't want this linked to other posts - have a feeling I'll get flamed as I have little knowledge about politics so sorry in advance!

I've read quite a lot about this situation but what I'm struggling to understand is what else could have been done? Every news article and news piece talks about the tragedy (and I agree it's tragic) but not once have a I heard any viable solutions - only criticism of the government.

I'm genuinely interested to know what solutions Biden may have had to this situation and chose to ignore?

We cannot stay in Afghan forever - and then where do you draw the line? How many other countries should we help to this extent (as there are many other corrupt/terror threat countries too)

What's the alternative?

Slow withdrawal. They could have withdrawn in certain areas and saw what happened there instead of pulling out in 1 go. At least defended a few places as strongholds for people to flee to.

Biden didn’t choose to get into Afghanistan or Iraq, but he did have choices over withdrawal.
