Massive brain drain (and Capital flight) will be likely effects of a Taliban takeover.

The ethnic Hazara minority community (descendants of the Mongols) has particularly prospered during the Pax Americana period, becoming skilled, educated and financially successful.

They can expect the worst oppression of all under the Taliban. Many of them are of the Shi'ite sect of Islam, reviled by Sunni extremists. The whole Hazara ethnicity is subject to long-running animosity from the largely ethnic Pashtun Taliban.

The Taliban had a saying about the other ethnicities in Afghaistan, the last time they came to power: "Uzbeks to Uzbekistan, Tajiks to Tajikistan, and Hazara to Goristan (the graveyard). We could possibly see large scale refugee movement of Hazara Shia into Iran, if the Taliban take over completely.

Many other skilled, educated and successful Afghans, including many Pashtuns, now have relatives in other Countries, including loads in wealthy Western Countries, with high standards of living. Afghan language (Dari, Pashto) broadcasts from these Countries have opened the eyes of most reasonably educated Afghans of the quality of life elsewhere (and how to get there).

It is going to be hard to keep those folks on the 14th century Tali-farm, after they have seen life in the big city.

They can flee to someplace that isn’t here.

This is why we need to be careful who we have a war with. Every war results in a flood of immigration. Even a firefight like Blackhawk Down resulted in half of Mogadishu flooding into Minnesota and them getting one of the skinnies getting elected to Congress.

When America plays with a turd, we get crap on our national fingers.

Woman could drive some of the exodus. They have plenty to fear from Taliban rule.

Burkhas, beatings and bullets.

Biden, Harris, Blinken, Austin, the AF Academy leadership, W. Point leaders, the whole fucking US Navy leadership, the White House staff and the Democrats/teachers/media think that the 14th century was a fine time to be alive. They want others to live in it, not them.

They are like the people who thought that the Khmer Rouge was just a bunch of kids and would be nice to their parents, many of whom they had to personally kill and send the country back to Pol Pot’s “Year Zero”.

Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Tojo, Castro, Pol Pot, Mao, Xi, etc. all approve of what is happening there and thank the American Left for making it possible.

More muslims! Don’t expect me to get excited about that! How many lessons have to be learned? More muslims who want to cut off the head of the “infidel”. YEAH! That’s really going to make things better. The people in charge now are SO stupid! ( I apologize to FR, I used an F-bomb, but fortunately edited it out before posting. I am trying VERY HARD to regulate my language. BUT, considering my life experiences, sometimes it becomes difficult to near impossible. If I stray... momentarily... PLEASE forgive me!
