Do you see that collapse coming now that the Taliban have total control? Because that was the situation before the US invaded. We should have smashed Al Qaeda and then left, telling them that from now on, we'll leave you alone as long as you leave us alone.
I mean I did say they now have Chinese support where at the time they'd have been more or less on their own.
Untrue. The pre-2001 Taliban saw fierce resistance from the North Afghan Alliance, among others, and didn't control all the country's territory. Compare to now where there's no meaningful resistance to their reign of terror.
