          It doesn’t matter what REALLY will be in Afghanistan.
          The United States may well bomb a couple of hospitals, and declare this a "final victory."

Americans are not enemies, for the Taliban and the rest, they are unfaithful jackals! Therefore, everyone hates them, without exception ... (It was the same with us)
            Therefore, they were not defeated. Everyone fought on one side. And you need to defeat all at once !!!

              basically correct, but there are some BUT,
              1. Afghanistan will never be captured.
              2. No one can rule Afghanistan.
              3. Afghanistan will bury all aggressors.

                No one has set such a goal. Neither capture nor control. Their territory is important only as a transit zone. And that’s it!
                Do you really think that if the USSR, or now the USA, decided to take over this land, they would not have expelled the spirits? Per month! Would bring down all !!! But, what then was the USSR, what is now the USA, trying to establish control by local forces. Because Afghanistan is hemorrhoids, which is needed only by its owners !!!

And all they need to do is keep airfields and bases to control Iran, Pakistan, India and Russia underbelly. And they competently pit these 34 million with each other, and they do not care about their heroin, education, medicine. That we foolishly wanted to build a normal life there. And the Americans only need a lured government in Kabul - and even if they cut each other's throats. Moreover, there is always someone to pit there with whom - a bunch of people, even the language is not the same.

    They are right. Nothing for the Americans to do there. With the introduction of American troops, heroin production has grown significantly.
    What humanitarian and educational programs are carried out by the UN and the American government? What has been done to combat drug trafficking. Even after the withdrawal of Russian troops, the FSKN initially delayed heroin wagons, then the bill went to hundreds of kg. And now the struggle continues with the participation of the government of Afghanistan. What is the US contribution to this?

    That will be more true.

    Afghans are interesting people. Day farmer, and at night dushman. Or maybe vice versa.
    Americans will have to completely destroy all Afghans.
    As soon as the Afghans understand what’s what, the number of attacks on the US army will increase tenfold. I think that there will be no shortage of weapons and production of the PRC.
    And Pakistan will launch refugee camps in our young days.
