That's where the problem is, the lessons will be forgotten and it will be repeated. Again and again.
Im not in the perception that someone in the US actually cares, what I am saying is thei last move, actually validated Duterte's stance of distancing from the US. It was a very unpopular stance and caused him a lot of points to the population. He was very close in abolishing the Visiting Forces Agreement with the US, but there was too much push back in the country. Now, it seems that he is right.
I was not talking about manpads, but more of human bombs or RPGs on the runways. It seems to me that the worst case expected is not happening and I have a feeling a big part of that is the Taliban making sure it doesnt happen. Not belittling the security efforts done by US and the Allies, but its surprisingly peaceful... chaotic but peaceful
Not trying to sound like a Debbie Downer but this isn’t 2001.
Cash flow may be the Taliban's biggest short term problem. A country needs to run. People who run it need to get paid. They can't live on love, they need cash.
That's going to be tricky. Perhaps Milley and Austin will have to put CRT and White Rage classes to the back burner for a few days.
That will be interesting. As per usual, CCP money will have strings attached. The Taliban won't be understanding when the CCP starts seizing airports and roads as collateral.

If they can show success against the Taliban, someone will arm them. Who knows, could even be China after they have their eventual falling out with the Taliban.The current US Administration has not only made ever possible mistake regarding Afghanistan, I think they hired think tanks to come up with new ones…… If the clown in the White House doesn‘t make a U-Turn in the coming days Uncle Sam‘s credibility as an ally will be in the shitter.

I apologize for, perhaps,touching on the wrong topic, but do you(or someone other) have any links to the documents about american military assistance to so-called Ukrainian resistance to Soviet Occupation?
В сборнике воспоминаний офицеров НКВД "Я дрался с бандеровцами" за авторством Станислава Смолякова я встречал отдельные упоминания появления у УПА зарубежного (английского и американского) оружия. Правда, нельзя отрицать, что эти образцы могли попасть бандеровцам со складов Вермахта, где было много трофейных стволов. Политическую поддержку антикоммунистическим украинским националистам, живущим в Европе и США, зарубежная разведка оказывала еще с 1930-х годов.
