In sense yes...but i won't call it a defect in the military sense. The US did not go in to conquer and hold on to territory like what happened in Tibet or Xinjiang. They wanted to take some sort of revenge on those who attacked them..and improve the situation in the country. But like in some other countries in the middle east, it did not work in the same way as it did in Japan, Korea or even Vietnam. In my view, the US has learnt the hard way that certain people simply cannot be helped..Anyway, it is still not the end of the story. How things pans out in Afghanistan is left to be seen...

There are roughly 2 groups of country in the disputes/conflicts. In the first group , there r USA, Saudi, UAE, Jordan, Israel, Azerbaijan,... and maybe Turkey. In the other group, there r Russia, Iran, Qatar, China, Syria, Pakistan,...and maybe Afghanistan.

Afghanistan does not trust Turkey even to run the airport in Kabul after the exist by USA. Now, the Taliban wanted the current President to go before any negotiation. India is not so happy if China will get a good deal in the reconstruction of Afghanistan. Actually, China is a neighbor of Afghanistan but no sure about India. But Pakistan is a big time neighbor of Afghanistan. CPEC is a sign of good relationship between Pakistan and China, no doubt. Pakistan and India will remain as enemy for years to come. USA should go in to Pakistan to compete in the economy/projects with China but they are just not capable already.

Turkey and Israel supplied drones to Azerbaijan and defeated the Armenians during the recent conflicts. Israel was asked not to campurtangan when USA attacked Saddam so to avoid any accusation from the Muslim countries that another Muslim country was attacked by Israel. So, USA used the military air bases in Saudi to launch the assault/attack against Iraq then. As long Israel was not in the picture, the attack on Saddam is fine.

Now, Saudi is so worry about Iran (wanted a nuclear bomb)so much so Saudi has to make friendship with Israel. Only Israel can destroy Iran, Saudi knew about it. Even several others like UAE and Oman got friendship with Israel. As long Saudi is willing, other smaller Muslim countries will not be labelled as traitors for having connection with Israel.

So, now Afghanistan had better choose Moscow, China, Iran (neighbor), Pakistan and Qatar because anticipatedly Afghanistan can not trust USA, Saudi, Turkey, India and UAE.

By the way, Iranians is not Arabs but Persians. The Persians dislike the Arabs and their religions are of different version also.
