This is just the beginning of what I call the "ripple effect". These doesn't mean there would be an end to Western influence in the middle east, but there will be much balance between parties involved more than the past decades.

Anyways a tucano crashed in Tajikistan after it ran out of fuel due to denial of permission to land . Thankfully both pilots survived with injuries

Problem was the execution of the US exit not the exit itself

Trump initiated the process , in all fairness US was never going to sit there for eternity

Problem was Biden fuked it up , he pushed the exit without laying conditions & zero preparation & totally oblivious to ground realities - the exit process was crappies in the history of crappy exits

They could not even organise a proper exit of their own personnel's

If they had not withdraw troops and organised proper exit of civilians first what difference would it have made

Me thinks its a possibility that they did this to ditch their responsibility towards Afghans who helped them , so that they have a excuse to say they couldn't airlift them all because things became impossible

How do u know that ?

Dont u see the obvious flaws in ur claims

Who tries to secure portions of a city with 2500 troops when entire city is vulnerable and a potential trap for the 2500 soldiers wherever they might be in the city especially when the evacuations have still not started , also considering large no of incognito taliban inside the city itself

Nemesis4you:
Also this will lead to what is known as too many cooks spoiled the broth

Faithful007:
Currently impossible. The US influence is economically driven and will remain as long as needed. Just look at the large number of US military bases currently in the Middle East.

They weren't meant for the entire city. Everyone expected the Afghan military to hold back Taliban from Kabul. The personnel were for embassy and airport protection. More personnel have been deployed currently. This is the sole fault of Afghanistan.

Stormtrooper11:
I don't think the Afghans ever wanted to hold out alittle. Immediately the United States started evacuating, the Afghans lost hope and interest. They just lost interest in the war.

Stormtrooper11:
True. I do believe this might lead to a massive increase of Chinese infrastructure investment in Afghanistan. The Chinese will take this opportunity to give loans and economic aid to the Taliban state.
A chance for China to exert its influence.

This is what happens when you fighting technique is based on airpower alone, the moment you can't always call air power, the fighting becomes bloody, and it's something training doesn't prepare you for.
I bet you, remove air power and let the USA face the Taliban squarely they would flee too.

Faithful007:
Not true. When fighting Taliban, they run the risk of being out numbered and isolated. Most of the war is asymmetrical and carried out in isolated regions. Hence the need for airstrikes.

If the US military is weak, how then did they invade and drive out Taliban from Kabul and Hussein from Iraq. Fighting a war becomes difficult when it slows down to an insurgency. Especially when the ideology is not dying out. If America should invade Afghan again, Taliban would be driven back to their caves in days. However, it would be back to square one. Holding back an endless Insurgency.

You can't expect them to remain in the country forever. Their local military has to take control, and they failed at that. Kudos to Afghan Commando Corps who kept pushing back the Taliban.

Faithful007:
Yes. CIA too may need to share the blame. I don't know how they couldn't figure out this out. Poor Intelligence on their part.

Faithful007:
For now, nobody trusts the Taliban. Russia just ordered some evacuation of embassy personnel.

The Afghan Army didn't crumble like a pack of cards because of poor infantry equipments with what we saw and the latest development the truth is that they didn't even put up resistance because prolly their loyalty truly lies with the Talibans, they were only bidding US time to leave before officially turning themselves and equipments to the Talibans, in other words US trained unofficial Talibans for 20yrs who finally handed over to the official Talibans when the US left, the Americans knew this from the onset that's why they didn't even trust the Afghan army; else how can one explain how a bunch of Turban/Sandals and Kaftan wearing Mujahideens numbering about 60,000 overrun an army with over 300,000 men fully kitted and equipped with American hardwares. Even if America handover their entire infantry hardwares the Afghan army will hand it over, the Afghan issue is a bit complex the Russians and Chinese aren't evacuating their respective embassies because they're ready to accept the Talibans as a political force/movement. Only Afghans can rescue Afghanistan for now most of them are okay with the status quo and if it's what they truly want that's fine. It's a complete waste of time and money fighting for a cause (Democracy) most of them don't believe in; what the world powers should do now is to recognise Taliban as a force in that country then find a way to make them respect human rights especially for women etc Not all countries will buy into Western style democracy, we have to come to terms with that even some European countries aren't fully democratic as some still run a modified form of monarchy, if Afghans truly want a theocratic state the world should let them run their affairs.
