En los primeros días de septiembre de 2021, el general Mark Milley, máximo jefe militar de Estados Unidos, ofreció una evaluación sin ambigüedades: Afganistán marchaba hacia la guerra civil. Tras dos décadas de ocupación y el retiro apresurado de las fuerzas estadounidenses, el Talibán había tomado el control del país en cuestión de semanas, pero controlar un territorio no equivale a gobernarlo. En ese vacío entre la conquista y la gobernanza, Milley veía renacer los mismos fantasmas que justificaron la intervención original: Al Qaeda, ISIS y el eterno ciclo de la violencia extremista.

Taliban's rapid consolidation creates power vacuum and governance legitimacy crisis. Panjshir resistance represents fragmented opposition. Terrorist groups (Al-Qaeda, ISIS-K) positioned to exploit instability. US loses direct military influence but maintains counterterrorism posture. Regional powers (Pakistan, Iran, Russia, China) gain indirect influence through proxy dynamics.
Similar to Soviet withdrawal (1989) leading to Afghan civil war (1992-1996), creating conditions for Taliban's first rise and Al-Qaeda sanctuary—cycle potentially repeating.

Increased global uncertainty may elevate commodity prices (oil, metals), raise insurance premiums, and create supply chain disruptions affecting consumer goods prices. Defense sector workers may see employment gains; general consumers face potential inflation from geopolitical risk premiums.
Likely increased U.S. defense spending and military presence in Central Asia; potential sanctions on Taliban-controlled Afghanistan; NATO coordination on regional security; possible restrictions on trade and financial flows; increased counterterrorism funding and intelligence operations.
