Taliban offensive of 2021 and potential collapse of Afghan government. -

[Fanatical Pragmatist]

The real question is whether the Taliban will take full control or just wind up back in the same civil war they were fighting when the US came in?

I miss him so much

Also this happens everytime America announces their withdrawal. Maybe be a bit quieter about it so we don't have to come back in another 5 to 10 years.

Its strange how Massoud seemed more respected by the Soviets he thwarted than the CIA who left him out to try or the Taliban would have raped his corpse given the chance.

More strange how his role in the country is almost completely unknown to most Americans.

His son is probably going to stop the Taliban or die trying.


And to those who think communism is a good idea look no further than the Saur revolution 40+ years of conflict could have been avoided if that never happened.

Background: In 2020 the Taliban came to an agreement with US President Donald Trump to halt attacks while the American military withdrew from the country...etc

Don't worry, once it's all controlled by Taliban we can just bomb them all at once

That's neat. I didn't know his kid was a big somebody.

Also one of my favorite quotes from ass-crack of geopolitical discourse, nationstates.net, was "Afghanistan was always communist!" by some dumbass leftoid who refused to believe the communist government in Afghanistan was anything but a painfully obvious Soviet prop.

 

[SITHRAK!]

Media: Don't pay attention to that. Pay attention to this opinion piece that tells us all how good Biden is at international relations!

9/11 2: Electric Boogaloo when?

 

[Cpl. Long Dong Silver]

With Afghans it really comes down to which way the wind is blowing. The ANA will surrender en mass rather than fight just like most of the militants switched teams in the early 00s. The only people who will be killed are the stubborn or dumb or unlucky.

 

[Honka Honka Burning Love]

Well there is 20 years down the toilet because the Administrative Complex decided that Forever Wars was the way to go instead of just bombing them into the stone age and going home.

Indeed, there was a time when Afghanistan wasn't communist and still a monarchy and more prosperous.

If the commies hadn't screwed things, maybe just maybe the Talibans wouldn't be the force as we know today.

I'm not sure if these guys are holding up the same paper or if they wrote it themselves. They may very well be illiterate and incapable of reading the document the Taliban told them to hold up.

 

[Badungus Kabungus]

It's becoming rather clear that the Biden regime surrendered the country to the Taliban rather than to the current Afghani government. Seeing as entire Afghani army divisions are defecting and are getting a free pass home from the Taliban, when mere months ago cooperating with the Americans would've gotten them decapitated, we can safely say that the Taliban is now in charge and does not see the current government forces as anything but a recruiting pool.

Another great dipolmatic victory by the Biden regime, this will surely not return to bite them on the ass in 20 years like it did last time.

I forget where it was pointed out, but with the mass defections a lot of American weaponry is falling into Taliban hands. With such amounts transferring intact it may very well make the Taliban the largest user of American weapons outside of the US military itself. Given that the only goal of the deepstate is to enrich itself they may get a better deal of the collapse than expected. Trump was quite cordial with the Taliban and the radio silence from the Biden administration could reasonably be interpreted as an attempt not to alienate the soon-to-be rulers of the nation. Likely the weapons industry will end up with supply contracts for all of these Humvee, rifles and maybe even the Super Tucanos we gave the Afghan Airforce, this is too juicy a contract for indignant yuppies in D.C. to keep the industrialist away from.

Why would we sell weapons to the Taliban when we can sell weapons to the warlords that are going to be fighting them?

If money is all that matters then we should be selling to the losing side to prolong the conflict.

It's not even about the weapons at the end. Nobody gives a shit about selling weapons to the Taliban when countries like India buy 10 times more weapons every year.

Afghanistan's value to America was always in its opium production, and since big pharma is a large and influential part of the current American regime, they are obviously interested in having control over Afghani opium production. They don't want to stop the opiate epidemic, they just want to be the only dealer on the block.

Here's some more details about it.

That's not a surprise when Biden('s administration) already showed that he's willing to throw anybody who helped the Americans to the wolves.

The largest would probably be American civilians.
