Disaster for Afghanistan with the US withdrawing its troops

People in other countries always gripe that the US in interfering where we don't belong but when our troops are withdrawn the people blame the US for "letting things happen". I'm tired of that. It's past time for our troops to withdraw and stop being killed. Let other countries police the bad people for a change.

Well, first thing first, they had to go there years ago to avoid that Russian gained a base on that hot area of the world. That was done, there is nothing more they can do. The population had 20 years to learn to defend themselves, Americans cannot be the gendarmes of the world.

I am not sure that you are really understanding what is happening. It is a result of the agreement of Doha signed in 2020 between the USA and the Talibans and agreed by the UN security council. The US agreed to not use force in Afghanistan and to not interact later in internal policy of Afghanistan ; the Talibans agreed to fight against any enemy threatening US or its allies security in Afghanistan and to refuse them visas or possibilities to travel. Basically this agreement gave Afghanistan to Talibans. USA and islamists have not always been enemies, the CIA funded islamist groups to fight against Russians in Afghanistan in the 1980's. Sad to tell, but the Talibans are a better guarantee against the return of Russia in Afghanistan than a democratic government. This is political realism.

What ever will be ...it will be worst we can say..

Its way past time we left. We trained them how to fight and they are dropping their weapons and running away. No country can stay there and take care of them forever

After all these years government of Afghanistan should have been strong enough to tackle the Taliban.

If the Taliban takes over I don't think the US can be blamed. They did what they could.

Based on the news report that I had seen, there are no significant changes for Afghanistan after the disruption from US. The Afghanistan Government and the Taliban are working on a peaceful transition of power. So technically all the efforts that was been made by US went into waste.

No country can save Afghanistan from itself and it's time we quit trying.

I'm sure there will be consequences to withdrawing our troops.

It's terrible what's happening over there.

The best way should be for their people to do their part. If their culture is too enshrined away from democracy and women's liberation, there is little what others can do. I recall my visits to Vietnam, Cambodia, and their past and outlook cast a long shadow on their willingness to change. Ultimately it is from the frying pan to the fire for the common folk.

Keeping fingers crossed but the United nations should do something

My father was just talking about the rise of Taliban in Afghanistan, i do not have much idea about it but looks like it's dangerous

Future of Afghanistan will be dark as everyone know it. There will be the rule of talibanis like it used to be in the past. It's sad that people of the country will be deprived of the things which people of other countries do but are in the don'ts list of talibanis.

He just sent in 5000 troops again(Biden)

I wonder what the future will be.

It’s time for other countries to look out for themselves. The US did all it could for Afghanistan and trained their military.

The situation is really bad however it came about. I really feel for the poor souls there.

No good future especially for the girls and women who will be abused there. I feel sorry about them.
