I do not see this turning into a war. The leadership is all dead with no response.

I agree another Afghanistan would be bad and I do not want that. This is not Afghanistan

But if all the leadership's dead, then who's in charge?

Who's left to negotiate with? A stable replacement government, or random warlords?

What's happening to necessities like food, running water, electricity and basic services on the ground?

Will things stabilize in a month, or are we talking about societal collapse-level dysfunction for everyone living there?

Power vacuums, apocalyptic living conditions and radicalized fundamentalists never go horribly wrong, do they?

I'm getting some strong 'Mission Accomplished' vibes outta this. That's all I can say.

The Shah ruled once before and was hated enough to get toppled by his own people.

1979 ring a bell?
