There is a direct correlation to lowering troop levels and Taliban regaining land. I think now they are up to 80% of the land. By the end of the year it will be way up. Today they made mainstream news because they now control key border entries (which gives them quite literal control over the country). Augusts 31 (the official end of operations) will be a great day for the Taliban to take the remainder.... Already assassinations of free leaders are common, as are the surrender of literal whole Afghan military units who in turn turn over all of the weapons and tech to the Taliban. It would not surprise me if by the end of the year, they have the country. This may go down as one of Biden's biggest blunder (and before people praise Trump, he started the withdrawal process, being the first President to negotiate with the Taliban which is insane in and of itself -which started off by the release of Taliban fighters from prison despite the fact that the Afghan government did not want to release them-, Biden sadly just followed through).... The point is both parties failed... https://www.voanews.com/europe/taliban-seize-more-territory-say-they-control-most-afghanistan https://projects.voanews.com/press-freedom/afghanistan-wpfd21/ This is from earlier this year, it is worse now: And the map will get much worse in September.... |

Maybe I missed it, but I didn’t hear any plan to send our troops back in if it gets overrun. Like i said, I think ultimately we’re establishing if Afghanistan wants to continue to keep its troubles within its borders, not keep the conflict under control. Also, how many years do you think it should take to train an effective afghan army force? I can only conclude there’s not enough support among the people. And they certainly don’t lack the skills, as it’s Taliban had the ability to keep holding on against outside forces. There’s plenty of desire and ability there. You can bring a horse to water…etc. That said, weren’t some NATO troops suppose to roll in? You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
