This was no repeat of the British death March or the Soviet retreat.
You make sound as if the Taliban are one cohesive organization following the rule of one leader bent on destroying Afghanistan or as if they caused or departure. Our being there has absolutely nothing to do with freedom democracy, gay rights, racism or women’s rights, not even close. We are there to block China growing influence and exploit Afghanistan mineral wealth.
Sure we may hear of some mayhem as Taliban factions jockey for position and maybe the current government will fall. But regardless if that happens or not. I’m expecting to hear of large corporations begin building facilities to exploit the mineral wealth locked in Afghanistan. They use private security to get their way you know, and those private corporate mercenaries are still there and more are coming. We’ve spent twenty years teaching the Taliban chiefs about the worldly treasures locked in the ground and how they need to behave if they want to get rich.
