So basically , they are a global power militarily now .
They have themselves , plus 2-300,000 Western trained soldiers to call on who won't say no .
Disgusting

Wow. If that's true there's going to be a whole lot of shit going down.
Why have the Taliban been allowed to take over again?
Trump signed a deal in 2020 and Biden is going to seeing through by hook or by crook.
Biden claims he cant renege on it but these attacks will actually allow him to do that but he won't.
Whatever comes next, expect the usual suspects to profit massively, (Erik Prince charging 6.5k fora seat out of there as we speak).

When the Washington post issues this you know it’s damning of the president
His Covid response says otherwise. Worth pointing out that under Trumps deal they should have been out by may. In a sense them still being there is going back in.just sit back doing nothing.
The parallels with Vietnam are very stark. Read last week that the Taliban were already selling American hardware on line. The writing was on the wall before we invaded. America’s involvement in Afghanistan dates to when Russia invaded. They trained and armed many militias in Afghanistan including the Taliban because they wanted to give Russia their Vietnam.The same thing happened in Vietnam...

I seem to remember Trump saying if there were issues they would go back in.
Just to clarify I'm not trying to support either one of them in this, but love him or loathe him, I don't think he would take what happened today and just sit back doing nothing.
No he wouldn't. But I'd fear he'd go too far the other way and massively over retaliate leading to an international incident.
I don't think you should let political feelings blind you. If you were in charge right now, what would you do? If I was a leader of a country and 10+ of my soilders trying to save lives were killed, I would be absolutely fuming.
The attacks were carried out by Isis, not by the Taliban. The Taliban have actually been fighting with ISIS also. And intelligence is suggesting they have actually stopped a number of other attacks. So using this as an excuse to renege would be a hard sell.
However, there are many more legitimate reasons that he could renege mind you. But you are right that he won't do that.
Although as a serving member of the armed forces I find it rather sickening that our own government isn't being given far more pressure, we pulled out most of troops over 7 years ago, and yet we are chastising the Americans for doing the same? We have just as much a moral responsibility to help these people as the Americans do. And we can do far far more than we are. (Not aimed at you CVD this part just rather than creating a separate post!)
Yes, I know it was ISIS, (ISIS K to be precise, as I stated in an earlier post), , but part of the deal was that they do not allow jihadist groups to flourish in Afghanistan. That clause is out the window already.
And the Taliban don't have counter terrorist capabilities anyway. I think the thwarted attacks may have been down to the now defunct Afghan army but you maybe right.
I suspect they'll needto be supported in this endeavour by some obscenely paid private contractors.

Lee hurst is funnyThings Grendel thinks are funny:
- Imminent collapse of society
- People dying in Afghanistan
- Women killed by incels
- Racism
- Lee Hurst (probably)
The animals got out but not the people mmmmmmI see Pen Farthing has left Afghanistan with his animals but forced to leave his staff behind. I thought the government had sorted this?
I’m surprised Raab wasn’t passing around his holiday snaps.Fuck me how are these people running our country?

Funny how David Schneider’s sexual behaviour is somehow relevant to his opinion/credibility but Boris’ isn’t.I want David Schneider as PM - free S and M sessions all round
How is any of this relevant to the government’s latest catastrophic failings?I can’t be bothered to check but didn’t he say anyone opposed to Israel was a Jew hating Nazi including Mr Corbyn
