Trump was planning on leaving Afghanistan in his second term. How it would have gone is anyone’s guess - certainly no worse than Biden’s exit, but I suspect substantially better, as he has said he never would have abandoned the huge airbase near Kabul (in the middle of the night, no less).

Trump has many weaknesses, but being in thrall to the military-industrial complex is not one of them.
