what do I think Stocks will do?

 I think the market will generally go up now because of the collapse in Afghanistan. Why?

Because except for military hardware makers most stocks aren't tied to the war in Afghanistan. Since it is likely more money will be spent on infrastructure now than war (at least for now) it should send stocks up and up and up generally speaking.

Because as infrastructure is replaced with better stuff everyone can likely make much more money than before because things will tend to work much smoother.

However, Ransomeware could cut into stocks which is why more and more hit men likely will be hired to do away with those creating ransomware problems in the western world.

However, the real danger here is how often Ransomeware people are directly connected to governments (or indirectly connected) to especially the Russian or Chinese Governments in this capacity.

So, in effect this is a part of a Global Cyberwar that has been ongoing for years now. And since the U.S. is more dependent than many nations regarding our cyber infrastructure, it is possible that we might have to go more Analog to protect ourselves, for example, like nations like Ukraine has also had to do.

I think it's only a matter of time that ransomware and other cyberwar techniques cause these kinds of changes in Europe and the U.S. and this might already be happening on some fronts, especially in Europe already.
