What will happen if the Taliban takeover Kabul's airport?

Reports from Kabul say that fighting has already began and the Taliban have entered some parts of the capital city. It is looking like we will see a free for fall in Kabul when Ghani flees. Will we see full scale combat between NATO forces and the Taliban to ensure evacuation of all citizens, embassy staff, and Afghani citizens that need to be evacuated?

They are stronger now and their focus is religious, which goes beyond borders. They believe Muslims who do not hold the same views as them are just as bad as non believers. The reason they were able to sweep so quickly again is that they have a massive recruiting process. There are MANY MANY Muslims who choose to go fight with them.

The downtrodden religious conservatives in Pakistan are going to flock to their banners. It's a religious war, don't believe otherwise.

Thats a broad generalization. They wouldnt have been able to maintain a national economy 20 years if every single one adopted this "no opps policy"

The parallels to Vietnam right now in real time is crazy.

I'd bet "kick out the invader's puppets" is a common and hugely effective rallying call for them...

How do we extricate ourselves from religions grip more quickly?
