You can likely remember the images seen on TV from August of 2021 of Kabul airport as the US pulled out. 1000s of Afghans rushed onto the tarmac of Kabul International Airport, so desperate to escape the Taliban that they were clinging to military jets as they took off. This all happened as the Taliban enforced their rule over the Capitol.

War has horrendous costs, but so does abandoning allies.
