Taliban Extremely Rapid Takeover - Kabul is Panic City

Three Things To Know About The Taliban



1) The Taliban embrace an introverted ideological absolutism.



The Taliban view themselves as the humble servant of God on Earth. Their name literally means "students," in this case, "students" of medieval-era extremist teachings under the Sunni-Hanafi Islamic school. But where terrorist allies of the Taliban such as al Qaeda are centered in Salafi-jihadi narratives, the Taliban are more complicated. They also have roots in Pashtun tribal politics, a dynamic that has given the group enduring influence in southern and eastern Afghanistan.



The Taliban's dedication to the supposed moral purity of a bygone era is sustained both by their fervent study and application of their beliefs. This absolutism helps explain the Taliban's capricious treatment of women and their enemies. It also explains why the Taliban were able to resist NATO and the Afghan government successfully for 20 years. Put simply, Taliban fighters believe they are on a mission of and for God.



2) The Taliban's only true external allies are elements of the Pakistani state.



Yes, they receive funding and support from Qatar. But the Taliban's true friend is Pakistan, which has organized, funded, enabled, and even directed them.



The group has long been viewed by the Pakistani military and its Inter-Services Intelligence as a useful means of enabling Islamist terrorist activity against Islamabad's nemesis, India, and as a blocking force against Western influence. Pakistan has also enabled this patronage relationship in the belief that it is better to have the Taliban under, rather than outside of, its control. Still, Pakistan has been largely successful in avoiding costs for its support of the Taliban and terrorism.



3) The Taliban despise America (& all Western Society)



Whatever conciliatory rhetoric the Taliban now offer, their hate for America remains fervent. Contrary to claims made by both the Trump and Biden administrations, the Taliban remain a close ally of al Qaeda and other Salafi-jihadi terrorist groups — because the Taliban believe that al Qaeda is a partner to the eventual establishment of a global Islamic caliphate.



The Taliban believe that the spilling of American blood is a necessary ingredient for America's acquiescence to Islamic rule. Hence the Taliban view al Qaeda's spilling of American blood as desirable. The United States will struggle to counter this threat over the coming years.



[Actually, it's not just "spilling of American blood is a necessary ingredient for acquiescence to Islamic rule" .. It's ALL of Western Society ... in fact, all not their  pure islam]

This guy need to be put out to pasture



Joe Biden: "We Don't Have Military In Syria."



Reality: The U.S. Has 900 Troops in Syria ... Then, he's only the Commander-in-Chief.

Biden just didn't abandon Afghans, he abandoned Americans in Afghanistan.

[Anonymous]

The 10,000 Americans still in Afghanistan is grossly underestimated. There could be as many as 40,000 Americans Biden left behind to die.

I never liked John McCain or any similar type of Republican. But, he was 100 percent correct about Anthony Blinken. He called Blinken 'dangerous to America and to the young men and women who are fighting and serving it'

I hated McCain and Bush too. But, I agree with old George W about the crisis Jim Crow Joe caused.

In the course of hectoring the United States for its "bungled and embarrassing withdraw from Afghanistan" on Thursday, China's state-run Global Times admitted Beijing has a rapacious interest in Afghanistan's vast rare-earths mineral resources and snarled it was none of America's business if China makes deals with the Taliban to get what it wants.
