I hope the Turkic countries involved will reject and let US sort it out.

Unless of course they can secure some grants on defense equipment. F16 and F15 wouldn’t be bad. But that would give issues with their other neighbors.

How history repeats itself. Bagram was a giant Soviet Russian base from 1979-1989.

This is Soviets hightailing it out of Afghanistan across the Termez bridge into what was then USSR but today Uzbekistan.

Pakistan certainly has gone into state of high alert with the emerging scenario which is likely to be violent and have huge impact on the country - including waves of refugees amongst whom could be hidden terrorists causing havoc in our major cities.

Yesterday to highlight the danger senior military and intelligence chiefs gave a 8 hour briefing to the opposition party leadership.

More than 300 Afghan soldiers have crossed into Tajikistan as the Taliban captured more territory in northern Afghanistan, the Tajik Border Service said on July 3.

The retreat is the third time in two weeks that Afghan soldiers have fled into Tajikistan, after the militants took control of several border areas and seized Afghanistan's main border crossing with Tajikistan in June.

The Tajik Border Service said the situation became "complicated" after several villages and a border post in the northwestern part of Afghanistan’s Badakhshan Province fell to the Taliban, forcing more than 300 Afghan soldiers to flee into Tajikistan's Shamsiddin Shohin region.

I say a couple of weeks.
I would wager by spring 2022. As they get closer to the power centers of ANA resistence will stiffen up and will require larger force attacks along more conventional battle tactics which is not the forte of Taliban particularly as they have little experiance of managing large operations.

But still I could be surprised ....
