You’ve seen the haunting images on the evening news…

• At the Kabul airport – with Afghans falling off U.S. Air Force planes upon takeoff
• Hundreds of evacuating Afghan civilians packed shoulder to shoulder inside a cockpit – fleeing after the Taliban takeover
• Taliban fighters who are now standing guard at a checkpoint near the U.S. embassy, which was previously manned by American troops in Kabul.

The shocking aftereffects of the U.S. withdrawal has resulted in Taliban fighters now patrolling the streets of Kabul – putting the world in an uncertain position unlike ever before.

Nobody knows how this will all play out. And for that very reason, I believe it’s now time to get defensive.

The best way to accomplish this is by owning the iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF (CBOE: ITA).

Action Plan: The iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF chart has established the $102 support level dating back to April. If this level holds again, then adding iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF shares now – given the new level of global uncertainty now created by the situation in Afghanistan – makes a lot of tactical sense.
