1. it's been said many times - we are not the world police

and it's not fair to send our young men and women to die there without a direct national security interest

3. I totally agree... we are not the worlds police.

But we were there, and we could and did stop it.

Direct national security interest ?.. I think you can make that case. See Al-queda

2. You asked this in another thread and it was answered

But I’ll do it again: The taliban stopped attacking us when they started negotiating with Dump. That was in 2018. Those dots are easy to connect.

Here again, in what world are they going to tolerate the presence of 2,500 us troops in perpetuity after they have just won a civil war?

Maybe if we ask them nicely?
