ISIL Khorasan has continued an almost daily stream of attack for a while now so IS probably don't have much left.
Its much quieter than it was at any point of the US occupation or before.
Its quieter than it has been for the last 40 years tbh.
There will always be nuts blowing things up in Afghanistan. It's bussines as usual there and even less.
I mean you can't let your enemies have nice things, any nation will do that to at least show that it is not fun to mess with them.
That's basically petulence, and it would be laughable if its consequences for the Afghani people weren't so horrible. A year ago the US was pretending that they're trying to do the best for them, and now they're basically trying to repeat the Iraqi embargo of the 1990's? I wonder how will Blinken react if he gets asked whether it's worth it...I mean you can't let your enemies have nice things, any nation will do that to at least show that it is not fun to mess with them.
End of the day it's just a bunch of cretins who are throwing a damn tantrum for one reason or another over their failed neo-colonialist project.That's basically petulence, and it would be laughable if its consequences for the Afghani people weren't so horrible.

They think they are showing how powerful they are, when in fact they're showing how vindictive, petulent and simply cruel they are. No wonder they're constantly losing global relevance.End of the day it's just a bunch of cretins who are throwing a damn tantrum for one reason or another over their failed neo-colonialist project.
I mean, it's not exactly the worst shit that could happen, judging by past messy colonial withdrawals, concentration camps and such. I suppose no one has flipped through the history book for a while.They think they are showing how powerful they are, when in fact they're showing how vindictive, petulent and simply cruel they are.

Problem is that the Talibs per se were never the US or anyone's enemies. Al-Kaida was, and most precisely Osama bin Laden. Now, you have basically externally induced humanitarian crisis, after pertractations made beforehand, which was de facto recognition of the Taliban. Only way to bringing the peace to the region is it's stabilisation, not never ending inflamation.
Try telling that to Pakistan. Or Tajikistan.
Have you forgotten as to why Taliban have been created? And by whom?
Erm, Afghanistan has a bit more Tajiks as minority than the ones living in Tajikistan, who more than likely has nothing to do with Tajikistan. And I'm sure the Tajik government is well aware of the possible problems with them.You do realize there's a considerable Tajik and Pakistani elements in the Taliban now, right? Do you really think they would not want to expand the Taliban into Pakistan and Tajikistan?
That's the thing about ideologies, man. They always want to share the 'good' news.

As for the Pakistanis, the Pakistani Taliban (Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan) is a separate organisation.
It's Afghanistan, they can cooperate and fight with each other every alternating week. Or day ...Same ideology though. Which means likelihood cooperation goes up.

Yeah and I think the current state of affairs is ripe for another Cuban confrontation type event.Those same history books also show that one reaps what one sows, but since Americans don't read history it won't be apparent to them until it smacks them in the face.
