I am pleased to accept this new role de oportunidad por el presidente del pueblo de Afganistán.
These very nice men I met de parte de un story telling group told me I am now un Imam. ¡Soy conmocionado, pero I accept their compliment y also esta presidencia!
¡Viva Afganistán!
Edit: Chapos, qué preguntas should I be asking these story tellers? They are called el “tale y ban” and I want to do un buen trabajo.

The power vacuum was inevitable so long it was the US that was leaving. Their presence was too domineering and too good of propaganda fuel for the groups opposing them. The only guarantee is instability until/unless another superpower gains a foothold. Looks like Russia’s trying to be it and I would hope China would too, but on the ground it takes a long time to see any net gain after an upheaval like this
I’m not sure that’s true. So far, the Taliban have been playing things really smart, portraying themselves as a newly moderate force primarily interested in law and order.
If they keep things up they could really secure support across the country as a legitimate government.
To be honest your take sounds like vicarious accelerationism. The US leaving isn't good but a confirmation that its entire Afghanistan occupation has been an obscene waste of life. The Taliban taking over as an anti-communist theocracy is also not good. All of this is bad and moving to a 20,000 foot viewpoint to admire the grand sweep of history has more than a hint of first world entitlement and indifference.
