We're talking about negotiations on the highest level. To justify this behavior is insane and you ARE indeed justifying it (we just fooled them, lol, is basically what you say).
Of course there's no way the West can get away with this, the other side knows we're not trustworthy which is the worst starting position for future negotiations. Well done, lol
No, we aren't. negotiations on the highest level have their terms put on paper. treaties, trade deals, ceasefires, etc.
This wasn't a midtown drug deal, and it wasn't a binding negotiation. it was 2 diplomats with a solid degree of power to do initial negotiations for their country at the height of the cold war easing tensions when nuclear weapons were involved. it wasn't a 50-100 year legally binding deal, ever. if it was, it would be on paper, or at the least the POTUS would be on record affirming it.
Biden and Trump made more vocal affirmations about the Afghanistan withdrawal in a few year period than all presidents since this "deal" was struck made combined.
