So I’m not the only one, upon seeing video of thousands of healthy young males chasing an airplane to flee, who thinks: “why aren’t they fighting for their city?”

I remember years ago seeing a documentary on Vietnam where American soldiers were complaining bitterly that they'd see young Vietnamese men all over the streets in Saigon and elsewhere going about their lives - and why weren't THEY fighting for THEIR country?

Scene at the airport reminded me of same, mostly military-aged men trying to flee - leaving women and children behind.

The Afghans are terribly ignorant people. They cannot read, write or count. They have been schooled in the Koran from the time of age of four years old until 10 and taught to be goat herders. They just are not educated to be anything but pawns for Islam. The Afghans will never fight for their own country unless having been radicalized by the Taliban the they fight for Islam.

Do you think China would try to invade the US?

They probably will start fighting once the dust settles. As they did before, regional warlords will organize and gain followers, and start fighting with the Taliban. What did the warlords do before to fund their men and weapons? Remember Ahmed Shah Massood and the Northern Alliance?

If they couldn’t/couldn’t stand up for themselves with our help.... what will they do WITHOUT our help?

Most sat on their backsides for all these years. They’re still going to sit on their backsides.

Remember Ahmed Shah Massood...

His son is already leading a group of men fighting against the Taliban in a rural area.

To marry our women, or to enslave our industrious workforce? Lol.

But seriously, YES they would invade to protect the Feds if a civil war breaks out and the Feds start losing (both unlikely, imo).
