He's between a rock and a hard place. He stays past Aug 31st, it pisses off the Taliban while putting the people you're trying to get out in more danger. You leave people in Afghanistan after that date, you're accused of abandoning or leaving people behind.What struck me as pretty hard core, Biden almost writing off whomever is left behind after Aug 31 as just the way the end of wars occur

The Taliban can host them as guest past the 31st due to the suffering from the bombing and that screwing everything up. As guests it’s the Taliban’s duty to insure they are protected and safe, but there’s an armed group the Taliban are fighting to protect law and order so the US troops can keep wearing their uniforms & weapons for safety etc etc this way no one loses face.He's between a rock and a hard place.

i believe it quietly happened the 1st time ISIS tried to set up there.I’d never heard of this ISIS-K until Wednesday, I knew ISIS tried setting up shop in Afghanistan but they were mostly pushed out by the Taliban.
Strange how a week or so ago the Taliban were the big evil and some people were saying invade again and take them out , but now we have something worse and people are even asking if we could one day see “western troops working with the Taliban”, that question, even if half hearted, or thought would not have occurred to anyone a week ago.
Makes sense with how things have progressed.i believe it quietly happened the 1st time ISIS tried to set up there.
In the early 2000s Yemen was on the US sanctions list because they had opposed the invasion of Kuwait. After 9/11 the President Ali Abdullah Saleh requested that sanctions were lifted as he had an al-Qaeda threat within Yemen. The US started shipping weapons to him, which he sold on to armed groups at great profit. Those groups included the Houthis and the Muslim Brotherhood.i believe it quietly happened the 1st time ISIS tried to set up there.
Same here!I’d never heard of this ISIS-K until Wednesday, I knew ISIS tried setting up shop in Afghanistan but they were mostly pushed out by the Taliban.
Surely after Trump its pretty much anyone with a shot...I get that...
I'm old enough to recall the phenomenal moron that is Joe Biden, going back to the 1980's. I keep scratching my head wondering how he found his way into the Oval Office as the leader of the free world.
I think the international community needs to work with the Taliban against this threat, particularly Pakistan and Iran.Same here!
According to google search reports, Islamic State -Khorasan Province (ISIS-K) was established as a branch of ISIS in January 2015, by disgruntled members of Taliban's Pakistani affiliate and have been a sworn enemy of the Taliban.
Things may look decidedly bad already in this trouble country, but the future for Afghanistan's 38m population its not going to improve anytime soon if ISIS-K are intent on taking over from the Taliban.
Perhaps Trump/Biden did know something after all... goes someway to explaining why so much hardware was let behind for the Taliban?

Its not so shocking when you factor in the fact that the Afghan Army of 300,000 troops were armed with mainly US weapons, so whether or not the Taliban would've stumbled upon a cache of weapons from the US, would in the end be small potatoes compared to what they will pick up from the Afghan Army, special forces, and all other armed Afghan security forces.you guys out in LA have had it crazy over the past year and a half.....but i see what u did there. cheeky! That video of the cash and amount of weapons is quite shocking
agreed but that cash and weapons came from the base that they just evacuated and left open for the Taliban to just walk in and take along with black hawk helicoptersIts not so shocking when you factor in the fact that the Afghan Army of 300,000 troops were armed with mainly US weapons, so whether or not the Taliban would've stumbled upon a cache of weapons from the US, would in the end be small potatoes compared to what they will pick up from the Afghan Army, special forces, and all other armed Afghan security forces.
They say "All's fair in love and War"... as long as you are on the winning side... but there is now't down for the losing side in such a bloody internal conflict, as the Taliban may yet find out!!You have to feel badly for the Afghan Army who have put in and sacrificed so much over the past what 20 years just to be abandoned.
i certainly hope they do find out in a very bloody way and get absolutely demolishedThey say "All's fair in love and War"... as long as you are on the winning side... but there is now't down for the losing side in such a bloody internal conflict, as the Taliban may yet find out!!
They could have done the normal army thing and fought back. That's what NATO spent 20 years training them to do.You have to feel badly for the Afghan Army who have put in and sacrificed so much over the past what 20 years just to be abandoned.
we shall see what their response will be but a bit more difficult than meets the eye considering the ruthlessness in which they fight....they have no problem going after women and childrenThey could have done the normal army thing and fought back. That's what NATO spent 20 years training them to do.
That's for sure.Can't trust the libs with anything these days.
We shall see what? Their response already happened. They melted and left the road to Kabul wide open.we shall see what their response will be but a bit more difficult than meets the eye considering the ruthlessness in which they fight....they have no problem going after women and children
I was reading that those weapons they got won't be as impactful as it seems. You need ammo to fire guys, and you need technicians to keep them all in working order. Esperanza the helicopters are apparently very sensitive to the conditions in Afghanistan. A lot of this stuff may well have become worthless to the Taliban in a year from now.agreed but that cash and weapons came from the base that they just evacuated and left open for the Taliban to just walk in and take along with black hawk helicopters
You have to feel badly for the Afghan Army who have put in and sacrificed so much over the past what 20 years just to be abandoned. Taliban will hunt them like dogs now.
Taliban are now charged with running the country, including providing for the population, safeguarding essential supplies, re-arming themselves etc. and if reports are true about ISIS-K, having to fight insurgency from the position of defenders. Taliban has proved themselves effective at fighting as insurgents, will they do as well when on the back foot, and tied to defending fixed positions?i certainly hope they do find out in a very bloody way and get absolutely demolished
They only joined the army as a job to feed the family, never to fight their own.They could have done the normal army thing and fought back. That's what NATO spent 20 years training them to do.
If they can't do much more than taxi then they might as well sell it to China for any reverse engineering / destruction testingDon't really know to what extent the black hawk helicopters are serviceable but hopefully they can't do more with them that other taxi them around the base as what was shown
Yeah well fighting an enemy is the whole F’ING point of an army. So to the point of “you gotta feel bad for the Afghan Army”, no. I do not.They only joined the army as a job to feed the family, never to fight their own.
China yes, Russia less likely as they prefer a different calibre to 5.56 NATO.They'll be able to buy plenty of ammo from the russians or chinese with the amount of cash that was left behind at the base which is now in the hands of taliban

Yeah but they manufacture a lot of 5.56 NATO, especially Norinco. Lots of it available up here.PLA is rocking the 5.8x42
