It’s about “time” on Afghanistan.
Literally.
The Taliban’s favorite expression: You have the watches, but we have the time.
This withdrawal could have been years ago, next year, 10 years from now or 100 years from now. Why not NOW?
My suspicion has been for years that we are staying there because of the poppies and the heroin. Someone is CASHING IN.
Incidentally, Russia still has lots of heroin addicts from their efforts in Afghanistan. Unlike American soldiers returning from Vietnam, they continued en masse the drug addictions they acquired there.

You make some great points. I had not realized that about the addicts in Russia from their time in Afghanistan. Thanks.
