They’ve been feuding with pretty much all comers since time immemorial. The only thing that gets them to unite is either superior force or an outsider. And that “superior force” had better be somebody they KNOW or they’ll unite… against.
Everyone has been lamenting, for several years now, we should never have stayed there so long… Well, we coulda have pulled out with a real victory in Nov 2001. “The Taliban were completely defeated, they had no demands, except amnesty,” recalled Barnett Rubin (United Nations). But rumsfeld, yes W’s rambo in the sleeve, said it: “we don’t negotiate surrender”. Oh well, couple $trillion, few thousands dead US troops and allies 20 years later, what’s the big deal… https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/23/world/middleeast/afghanistan-taliban-deal-united-states.html AND, sorry to repeat myself, W was rewarded with a 2nd term!
Has any other Ammosexual noticed the remarkable trigger discipline show by the Taliban lately ? Almost like they were trained up by the Americans. The place was awash in AK-47’s for 50 years yet many Fighters are carrying AR platform rifles they must have learned the manual of arms someplace, any caveman can run a AK but a M-4 with a ACOG & AN/PEQ-15 is rather advanced for your Average Alley Oop. Everyone of those is about $5,000 retail we left them 1,000’s of them.

Gonna be a lot of that in the months ahead.. it’s their culture. America has as much chance of changing that… as getting reasonable gun controls.
