I would hope there is not a fight but I expect this is a firebox situation in the dark, Taliban everywhere, I don't expect they have the best command and control communication so it would not take much to turn this into a fight.....

the taliban is not going to attack our people.

they are hours from owning the entire country outright without having to entangle themselves with a US retaliation.




That's the smart play, we'll see if they acquiesce.

Some people in the government don't want me to own an AR, but the Taliban get attack helicopters.

IMO that lessens the risk of any real fighting in the capitol, which helps us with getting our people out.

The taliban only has go get close enough to the airport to be a threat to traffic to shut it down. I dont know the distance that would be. One of you military people would need to chime in

I bet Biden acknowledges the new government before his morning toast cools tomorrow.

What an effing embarrassment

Hopefully we can get out without any casualties. That'd be awesome. No more American blood should be shed there.

If the fall is accurate, might want to hold off unless directly threatened

yep. IF we did this, it was just another blunder of epic proportions.

My main worry is that the Taliban

(a) decides that for credibility internally and externally they need to defeat the American forces and kill/capture non-combatants

Or

(b) believes that they need hostages to prevent retaliation / US meddling

And

(c) in either case, doesn't think we have the stones to do anything about it.

Biden's statements on Afghanistan would sink any republican president..: the media would be crucifying them now.

I would absolutely go for the hostages. It worked for Iran and it will work here. Iran also didnt have another major player backing them in hopes of provoking conflict. China will. Once China has their new, modern missile fields up theyll start moving.

The biggest problem is that since the city want evacuated, the Taliban will use them as shields.

Not really. They have so much to gain in the PR world by surrounding us and "allowing" us to leave with or without hostilities.

Hostages would be very bad for Biden IF the DNC Media would actually report on it. Scumbags.

no. it would give his admin a position to act and appear tough, or that is how the media will portray it.

but he will also be the Diplomat and refuse to put us into another war.

WIN WIN as always for the commies.

They gain either way. Even a failed attack during our exit has value.
