A lot of these people are going to be killed, and the rest will get with the new program real quick.

The Taliban were able to outlast the U.S. Army. A few rogue Afghan citizens are like flies to them.

yeah they should be underground right now and stashing weapons. not real smart, theyll get snuffed out quick. they should've done this before they handed all of U.S weaponry to the Taliban Also if civil war breaks out expect Russia and China to support Taliban. They support stability above all else.

They have no redeeming value. They may be behaving somewhat now, but will revert to their usual ways soon. Hopefully, our govt will get our people and friends out first.
