Not likely to hear much on the mainstream media about this.

Afghanistan outlasted the Russians, and now they will have outlasted the Americans & NATO. No military presence there will mean unfettered terrorist and drug activities.
Honestly, the country needs a good "shaking", but we shot that wad in the 1940s.

I have no doubt that the Taliban within one year will control large swatches of Afghanistan after we leave. But I don’t care. I think they learned their lesson there will be a consequence if they ever let external terrorists train in their country to attack the US. If they haven’t then we should
bomb and leave, rinse and repeat until they stop, no rebuilding. I do not care one whit whether they have a democracy and want to return to killing and brutalizing each other

They were old hands at outlasting long before the Russians came around. Ask the Brits about the withdrawal of forces at the end of the first Anglo-Afghan War. Get our troops out and don’t count on any treaty or agreement to safeguard our troops.

The official, who was not authorized to publicly discuss the matter and spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the Taliban had committed to a halt in roadside and suicide bombings as well as rocket attacks. The official said the U.S. would monitor the truce and determine if there were any violations.

It’s long past time.
We should never have stayed in the first place.
Trump will go down in history as being right about this.

As went South Vietnam, so goes Afghanistan.

Great idea. The Taliban should all be invited to Kandahar for a signing ceremony. And the agreement should be delivered on the back of a Daisy Cutter

Wow,America loses another “war” with a whimper. 9/11 is pretty much forgotten. I guess the beginning of the end was when this country decided to invade Iraq.
