The withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan is a carbon copy of its hasty retreat from South Vietnam in late 1960's.
In both S. Vietnam and Afghanistan, Government troops were so used to having US air support in combat, that when US withdrew in darkness and in haste, then they cannot/don't know how to fight, leaving the poor local suckers (local troops and Government officials) to fend for themselves.
My guess is that within one month, Afghanistan will be copletely Taliban-ized.
USA as an ally/supportor cannot be trusted & very soon all its allies will find out.
Iran's new President, who has strong anti-American sentiments, made it very clear recently, both before and after taking office, that US politicians' words CANNOT BE TRUTED, and insisted on US un-freezing Iran's assets + lifting ALL sanctions before any negotiation can resume.
What can US do? Nothing because if US sends troops in, the resultant casualty will be much too high for US to bear. Luckily US has a duputy in the Middle-East, known as Israel, who has nuclear weapons, would be more than prepared to do the dirty work for US, but that would open a new can of worms. If Israel uses nuclear weapons on Iran, we can bet that Israel will not have peace in the next 50-100 years, & eventually will lead to the elimination of Jewish state (I will not live long enough to see it, but history will!)
