Why Joe Biden bowed to Taliban

The World may have been terribly surprised, when they learnt that the US army had departed from Afghanistan, leaving the Afghan society, in utter disarray. Common sense tells us that USA is the World's only Super-power, and there is no nation, in this world, at this time, which could fight it in a battle field.
A lot of people and countries across the world, who hold the common sense belief cited above, could be asking "how could this happen in Afghanistan?".
The answer lies in the simple secret, that the "US lost moral authority, and that is the key reason, for its collapse".
A reasonable question that may arise could be -
"What is moral authority, and how is it superior to the extraordinary weapons and wealth of USA?"
For Hindus, the Ancient Aryan sages had given a prescription, which in Sanskrit reads as: Satyameva Jayate.
In English it means "Truth always wins".
In our case, Taliban may or may not be engaged in Truism, but the facts of the case, are as follows.
In 2020 Joe Biden supported BLM, which torched many cities in USA, in the name of protest. How this very same Joe Biden, now the US President, could ask Taliban NOT to do, what he had preached in 2020?
Nancy Pelosi the house speaker, voiced her concern for women and girls in Afghanistan, and it sounds very sympathetic; but this very same person, supported the Jan 06, 2021 shooting incident, in her own capitol building, where a young girl protesting for "Liberty, Freedom, and Justice", was shot dead in broad daylight.
The ugly truth is "US is not on higher moral ground than Taliban". Twenty years after the war has started, the Americans and the Taliban, have descended to the same terrible (moral) state.
The above could suggest, "why Joe Biden had to concede defeat in Afghanistan".
