This will turn into a hell hole.


No, you’re wrong there. Afghanistan is already and always has been a hell hole. As for the Taliban not abiding with their peace agreement, check out how the 1st Anglo-Afghan War turned out. In particular Elphinstone’s withdrawal from Kabul to India. Well, only one out of thousands actually made it back to India.

Ending like our withdrawal from Viet Nam with helicopters on the embassy roof will be like a walk in the park compared to what happened in the Khyber Pass in 1842.

Oh yeah, I can see the RPG’s slamming choppers. No where to run. The Afghani “allies” will drop their weapons and run and get mowed down and then the real hell will begin. If Afghanistan was a plant it would be a Venus Flytrap.
