      The US is abandoning all the girls going to school, all the women in the workforce, all the brave soldiers fighting the Taliban, all the young entrepreneurs starting businesses, all the government officials trying to build a fragile democracy.https://wapo.st/3mLImAg

      So what’s the answer? Stay there forever? Twenty years has been too long. Does anyone think that leaving a small US force there indefinitely, as you propose, would actually stop the Taliban from taking over if they really wanted to?

          Exactly. These people who claim we can't leave because of the Taliban ignore the fact that the Taliban will take over if we leave in 5, 10, 20 years. They want us to stay forever. The reality of the Taliban sucks but it is what it is.

          If I were an Afghan parent with a young girl in school, I would certainly want Taliban control pushed back as long as possible. It’s a complicated issue with no clear right answer imo

          We have troops stationed in the locations of most wars we’ve won.

          Well at least at this point, the Taliban is probably not strong enough to take over the whole country. But the million dollar question is will the Taliban become strong enough or motivated enough to take over the country once we pull out entirely? Probably not but who knows?
