@taoman85 What does the Sunni/Shia schism have to do with Afghanistan? Only the Twelvers (7%) are Shia, the rest are Sunni, as are the Taliban war lords.

@Ikukundu The idea is not to have overwhelming forces stationed there. Instead, we should leave just enough men/women to provide technical and tactical support, to the Afghan army. It worked well in Syria, until Trump abandoned the Kurds. Now, Biden is abandoning the Afghans.

@seneidasantiago1323 Really? Are girls, in the US, prevented from going to school? Are women here, prevented from having any job? Do our daughters suffer genital mutilation? Do we marry them off, as third wives, to old men, to settle a debt? Can we not wear the clothing we want in public, and not face beatings and torture, for the sin of showing a little skin? Can you not travel wherever you want? Are you not allowed to speak freely? If you think anything we face here, is comparable, to the suffering women endure under the Taliban, you are delusional.

@Håkan Bråkan Kråkan You're the only one, on this thread, that makes sense. But, if China takes over Afghanistan, it more likely will be for rare earths than opium. Rare earths are needed for batteries and semiconductors. China has its own negative history with imported opium.
