Next, the Taliban kills an American and the deal is off. Bets? This is a game to them.

Or wait until we leave and then start up again.

Either that or they’ll just do like the North Vietnamese and wait the 14 months, take over with a totalitarian regime and celebrate when the media declares that our military was run out of town with their tails tucked between their legs, and get support from Bernie Sanders type Democrats.

We have to get out of Afghanistan, period. But this peace agreement will be honored as much as with the peace agreement that ended the Vietnam war was. It’s all theater.

And everybody knows it.

the comments here thus far are probably correct imho, in that there’s a very great chance the Taliban will just let USA pull back and then take over.
Is there anything PDJT can do in this treaty to prevent that?
If so, if he’s figured it out, this treaty will be very popular indeed.

“Next, the Taliban kills an American and the deal is off. Bets? This is a game to them. “

I read a few articles the Taliban is tired of fighting as well. We’ll see.

It’s about time to leave. (past actually).

We should make it clear “DONT MAKE US COME BACK, BECAUSE IF WE DO, WE WILL LEVEL THE WHOLE DAMN COUNTRY - WE WON”T SORT OUT THE GOOD FROM THE BAD NEXT TIME” We should let them know we won’t put boots on the ground next time, we will wage a 20 year bombing from sky and space campaign.

That way they will police themselves and not be a safe haven to launch attacks internationally.

Unlike before, we’re actually leaving.

If the Afghans want to maintain whatever degree of freedom they have, they’ll have to take their military training seriously now.

I hope they realize that the safety net is gone

Having read some books on this topic, it really seems like the only way to “settle” Afghanistan is to nuke it into oblivion. This stuff has been going on for centuries and most likely will for more.

So when does Trump get the Nobel Peace Prize? Oh, I forgot. It’s only given to America-hating m*slim-promoting liars.
