LOL! Trump mad:

Trump's wisdom: Taliban stole some US stuff. So US must start Afghanistan War 2.0. Sure, why not? The last one only took 20 years to finish.
For once he is not so off the mark. The US could easily bomb the crap out of all the military equipment they abandoned with zero risk and consequences once they got all their people out.

Bombing defenceless opponents from afar is the only kind of warfare America has a proven, consistent track record of winning.

Yes the US could bomb Afghanistan with little consiquences. But this will also create another addiction for America to bomb Afghanistan again. The next ones could be for "protecting the rights of women and LGBTs from the evil Taliban". Or for maybe to kill some random farmer and his family because he happens to look like a terrorist.

Then the Taliban will have to buy SAMs from Russia and China. Thus starting another cycle for war in Afghanistan.

Perhaps better buy SAM or MANPAD from Iran or North Korea with Chinese tech ... copy of QW-1 technology, Chinese 1990s tech. It should do the job for UAV or helicopter in Afghanistan

Lol. These guys will need educated personnel for administrating a whole country. Lets see how they manage
They managed just fine after they drove out the Soviet’s. It’s a gross and racist underestimation to assume they are all illiterate primitives. There will be no shortage of well educated members, specially in the command echelon, many of which were probably trained by the Americans themselves on the tasks they will now perform for the Taliban.

Similarly, I seriously doubt there will be the kind of apocalyptic mass blood letting the western MSM is hyperventilating while also wet dreaming about. Especially when it comes to people like civil servants, administrators and other non-military/intelligence government workers. Almost all of them will eventually end up returning to their old jobs and just taking their pay cheques from the Taliban rather than the former American puppet regime. Hell, even police will probably be allowed back with zero repercussions.

The only people who might be public ally executed or dragged into torture-murder sites are those who actively worked with occupation forces in direct combat roles, and those who worked for western intelligence as informants or wetwork bagmen for torture and extrajudicial killings to keep their masters’ hands clean. But most of these people probably already got out. What upstanding model citizens the west takes with them.
