And I was going to post how long until they blame China...? Lara Logan on FOX News said the Taliban were being funded by China, Pakistan and others. The US has lost every war since WWII and they're still in denial. Like I've been saying, you wanna know what path the US will take? It's the one that supports their white supremacists beliefs as in just because they invade a country, they think the people will greet them as saviors rather having them in control and the rest is easy. I've also been hearing in the last few days pundits on TV saying they were in Afghanistan to save the women. But a Uighur genocide they do nothing but give lip service...

2 trillion dollars, and 20 years later, we are back to where we started. Taliban has the capital and the entire country as the Afghan government just melted away.

The war is over.

Just a few weeks ago, Biden said the chance of Taliban take over is highly unlikely since the US trained afghan troops, 300,000 strong, will protect major cities and push for an negotiated peace deal with the Talibans. He said we will never see images of US helicopters evacuating embassy personnels. Yet that's exactly what happened this weekend.

Watching the events unfold this weekend, former Israeli ambassador to the US said:

“The USA is our closest ally. They have been there for Israel time & again over the years. But the horrific events in Afghanistan must be a hard, scary lesson about changing interests & cold, hard calculations.”
“Dangerously, in 2021, self-reliance is more important than ever,” he said.

I agree with what plawolf has said. The more of the hope was the whole region destabilizing because of the fall of Afghanistan. Central Asia destabilizes which severely undermines the BRI and destroy the chances of Iran becoming more economically integrated with China. Which can still happen in some ways if there is a massive refugee crisis that spills over into neighboring countries.
