All eyes on #Jalalabad - the last major city other than #Kabul in government hands.
#Kabul & #Jalalabad is all that is left

Mihtarlam city, the capital of Laghman province, has also fallen to the Taliban following some clashes. Taliban now control almost entire Laghman province.#Afghanistan #Kabul #Laghman #AshrafGhani #Taliban #Afganistan

Another devastating loss to the government in #Kabul.
Govt forces now only control two major cities — Kabul and Jalalabad in the east. That is likely next target.

We are saved
Central Committee said:
Biden no long has the mental capacity to handle an foreign policy situation, especially of this gravity. His backup, Heels-Up has zero experience. And we have a Biden-installed woke Pentagon.
This will not end well.

No, if we want any semblance of real foreign policy leadership next cycle the Democrats absolutely can't win. However, I have no faith any Republican challenger can win going forward. My only hope is that the Democrats continue down the path of isolating and sidelining Kamala to the point that they abort mission with her as the next candidate and put someone out there with at least a semblance of intelligence.Central Committee said:

Biden makes no decisions at all. Not sure who pulls his string.

This is true. I wonder who is in charge.

Who got us involved in Afghanistan in the first place?
That was some dude named Bin Laden.
Then again, if you really wanted to get technical, that was Bill Clinton when he launched strikes against Taliban and Al Qaeda targets in Afghanistan after the embassy attacks in 1998.
Got anymore questions?
Geez....

It sounds like the tribal elders are negotiating surrenders. The national government is so corrupt and inept that nobody is really interested in dying for it.

Yeah, but what about just dying for yourself, your family and your neighbors?

Lol, we were so much better off under british rule then than we are today its a ****ing joke.Ernest Tucker said:
A population of like minded people need to stand and fight for their way of life or be ruled. It's always been like this. The problem is having the chance to organize at all. We were given this opportunity due to the British being an ocean away. The Afghan people were given 20 years. At some point you have to stand on your own, even if is just to carve out a small defensible position and nation, doesn't have to be the full land mass you started off with.
Unfortunately, these people have not put themselves in a position to stand on their own and have consequently consented to being ruled by a brutal regime. You could see the writing on the wall. People who wanted to get out should have gotten out 5 years ago.

Bingo! Hope some "non PC" expedient battlefield commander will commit to and execute an effective plan in time. Sounds like time is critical.BlackLab said:
