Twenty years after American forces first entered Afghanistan to dismantle the Taliban and deny sanctuary to those who would strike the wider world, the wheel has turned — and the Taliban stands once again in Kabul. General Mark Milley, the United States' highest-ranking military officer, now warns that the conditions for civil war are probable, and that the ungoverned spaces such conflict creates have historically been where extremism finds its breath. The question before the world is not merely what becomes of Afghanistan, but what Afghanistan, left to fracture, may yet send outward.

Taliban consolidation of power faces legitimacy challenges; power vacuum enables competing militant factions (ISIS-K, Al Qaeda) to resurge. US loses direct military influence but maintains counterterrorism posture. Regional powers (Pakistan, Iran, China, Russia) compete for influence in ungoverned space. NATO allies express security concerns.
Similar to 1990s Afghanistan civil war post-Soviet withdrawal, which created conditions for Taliban rise and Al Qaeda sanctuary, ultimately leading to 9/11 attacks.
