Such a deal will leave no more than an internal stalemate inside Afghanistan, with violence or the threat of violence continuing at levels that will keep the “peace” from ever being finalized/realized, just as is the case with Korea.

Why? The “deal” is a deal that the official government of Afghanistan is not a signatory to, just as the “armistice” that halted military action in Korea was a deal to which only the U.S. and North Korea were parties to, not the government of South Korea.

The U.S. already has a separate deal it is committed to with the government of Afghanistan. It will not renege on that committed if the violence from the Taliban does not end, which it will not.

The “deal” is written in sand, which the winds from the Taliban will start blowing away.

Their county, their problem

Russia spent a lot of time and money only to finally recognize that a war that has been going on for centuries is not gonna end n matter how hard you try

Another good aspect of this is our troops will not be guarding poppy fields growing there and providing a revenue source for covert actions

Drones can do a better job at monitoring but we should shed no more blood and soldiers in a fight that is as much cultural as anything
