It would seem that the current gathering ground for the Taliban and ISIS is Kabul. I have to wonder if Biden has his heart set on such an idea. Why he doesn’t just drop airforce divisions to surround Kabul and move in with a military assault and clean the nest of snakes out before they have an opportunity to slither away into hiding.

Apparently ISIS is an enemy of the Taliban. The Taliban wants legit control and recognition in the world, ISIS wants to blow up the world. I heard on the radio that the Taliban has been in talks with China and Russia with regards to economic ties, those are the only 2 countries that did not close their embassies and evacuate.

They had the same problem in Vietnam. Solution: shoot the ones with a gun in their hands. With the general population disarmed, its the ones holding the guns who need to be targeted. The tricky ones will be those without guns and with bombs strapped to them. I would suspect the command to "strip or die," at a distance might come in useful.

Yea, that's the problem is with suicide bombers (like yesterday)...women (or men dressed like women) wearing Burkas...In a crowded place like the Airport yesterday all but impossible to 'shoot' an enemy combatant when they are indistinguishable.

I can't believe for one second, after hundreds if not thousands of years.......the Taliban woke up recently, and decided that the group who worships the same barbaric and cruel parts of sharia law and punishments...are now bad. I'm also in awe that Biden admitted they gave the Taliban a list of Americans with addresses etc......believing the Taliban will kindly usher them to safety......has the world honestly lost all capabilities to comprehend reality?.....it feels like one of those movies you want to like, but it's so far fetched and full of "that wouldn't happen in real life" parts that it doesn't feel real.....but its actually happening.....mankind is in for a harsh reality check.....and it's going to be a rough go.......
This isn't a test run................Enjoy er'.......

Really? Isis has already claimed bombings at and around Kabul airport.
Isis and Taliban are brotherhoods of the same cloth working together side by side..

I imagine that’s the main reason that the US military and select NATO countries couldn’t win….smiling citizens by day and guerillas at night.
Can’t win, better to leave
