#2 As with Mozambique, the local residents want badly to kill one another regardless of any immediate, visible pretext. Our mission is to get the happy Hell out maintaining only enough contact to make certain they don't get ambitious in their bloodletting.

#3 China, China, China.

Our foreign policy has two priorities now and only two: the stability of the Persian Gulf, and containing combatting, and detaching our supply chains from, China.

GTFO of Afgh. and find a rapprochement with Russia. United front against China. Full-court press against that (literally) pestilential nation that is trying to destroy our civilization.

#5 As with Mozambique, the local residents want badly to kill one another regardless of any immediate, visible pretext.

What the heck are you talking about? These people are fighting each other for the same reason that the French and Germans fought each other - to decide what culture would dominate and who would rule. Just because their differences have nothing to do with us, except for the fact that one side harbors terrorists who do things like kill thousands of Americans in that cesspool we call New York City, doesn't mean they're like children squabbling over nothing.

The big reason I support a continued presence is Afghanistan is because I don't want to have to spend nutty sums of money propping NYC up when the Taliban sponsors a terror group that nukes NYC, killing millions. 9/11 killed under 3000 people in the city, and that cost a $20b appropriation. I don't want to find out what the appropriation will be when NYC loses a million dead - the scaled up number for 1m people relative to the 9/11 aid package would be $6.6T.

Now, if we had simply gone on, after 9/11, to help the Tajiks, Uzbeks, Kyrgyz and Hazaras exterminate the male Pashtun population of Afghanistan, the Taliban would have died with them. Because we, as a nation, lacked the ruthlessness to carry out this step, and show every indication of not being ruthless enough to carry out this step in the wake of a nuclear attack sponsored by the Taliban, we kind of have to be in Afghanistan until our allied government finally squashes that movement.
