Who knew that far-leftist YouTuber Vaush would turn into an accidental neocon?
Anyway since I can’t pretend to be ignorant of geopolitics I’ll say that pulling out everyone and not even leaving a couple thousand troops is going to completely destabilize Afghanistan as well as neighboring Russian puppet state Tajikistan where Afghan troops are fleeing to.
I doubt China will swoop in any time soon. The region is a complete mess and will always be a complete mess, especially for foreign forces. Graveyard of empires and all that. China wouldn’t waste its time on it—but they’d certainly prop up the chaos so Russia has its hands full.
Either way, the US wasted 20 years in Afghanistan only to make China stronger. Pulling out was the right move, albeit too late and at too high a cost. Stupid war.
