#1 The US should be providing aid to the all opposition groups such as the Northern Alliance and pockets of resistance and all tribal groups in opposition, immediately.
The Taliban should not be allowed to run Afghanistan as a central government.
And the US military should have contingency plans ready to retake Bagram Air Base if necessary, if things go south in Kabul, and the air base an hour to the north should be necessary to continue evacuation and to exact revenge and to aid opposition allies.
The Taliban is responsible for allowing ISIS to infiltrate and bomb the crowds trapped outside Kabul airport.
The Taliban cannot be allowed to consolidate control over the whole country.
China cannot be allowed to use Afghanistan like it uses North Korea to advance its goals in Southeast Asia against our allies there.
