Taliban takeover: Fighters surround Kabul ‘from all sides’
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 жов 2024
- The Taliban readied its forces on outskirts of the Afghan capital from all sides on Sunday as panicked civilians prepared for the armed group’s takeover of Kabul nearly 20 years after relinquishing power in an American-led assault.
Taliban spokesman Suhail Shaheen said fighters were remaining on the capital’s outskirts as negotiations took place.

A sincere moment of silence for all those who have perished for absolutely nothing.
The whole point of the invasion was to get Osama bin Laden. Mission accomplished & so long past time to go home.

They could've figured that out before they even sent a single soldier 20 years ago.

I totally agree with you bro. What a waste of human, material and financial resources.

I've been wondering about this. How is it that it appears that there is very little to no resistance after the US spent 20 years there? It seems that there is something going on that no one is talking about.
American soldiers who died all these years,lost the reason for their death.
No israel is still here, so their reason for dying is still here. They died for israel from the start.
How so? American went afganistan to defeat al`qaeda and Osama bin laden and both are destroyed. Mission accomplished.

The Taliban had many trojan horses inside the Afghan military.
Duh
And among the translators and interpreters that well-meaning people are blindly demanding be given US citizenship without a second thought.
Some are dying to get to conduct attacks, or teach their kids to radicalize & do the same, inside the US if blithely shown in. Literally.
They are failing to understand how complex and difficult the total situation is. They want a feel good solution. Until it blows up in their face.
Apparently the lessons of domestic attacks by transplants just aren't being learned. Like the Tsarnaev brothers.
For sure. I just saw a clip where a former politician surrounded by Taliban fighters, declared himself Chief of Police in Kabul.
We were paying the Taliban to provide security so the Taliban would not blow our soldiers up
None of them was as powerful as the ones inside the United States.
This what happens when one side is willing to die for what they believe and the other doesn't
You have to give credit to the taliban, they completely overwhelmed the ANA in 400 locations simultaneously. They have been planning this attack for months, they seemed extremely prepared.
They probably just bribed their way into the most fortified provincial capitals ... And the regulars knew before the battle started that its a lost cause
@ape kaspank you don't have a speck of evidence to support what you saying mate!!
The US has nothing to fight for over there. Soldiers were just receiving paycheques but didnt have the will to fight and win. Government wasted trillions but the arms industry made billions.
@ape kaspank Not true, in the first part of their operation they destroyed all the roads linking kabul to the other major cities. The US airbase that supplies these regions was taken off line and the afghan government had to scramble for a way to reinforce these areas cutt off from control. They tried sending troops who instantly got routed and retreated, once they retreated the rest of the country was sitting ducks with no way to fight the taliban. And were forced to surrender.
Kandahaar didn't even have a garrison of over 5,000. ANA needed time to regroup themselves and taliban wasn't letting that happen. Rapid light-speed advances for days on end, im sure taliban units haven't sleep in weeks they've been on the move for so long.
All the fancy weapons the West supplied to the Afghan forces 'loyal' to Ghani immediately crossed over to the Taliban side, so the end product of the sacrifice of so many lives is that now the Taliban have better weapons than ever.
I think, that in 90s was Taliban better equipmented, because in 90s had planes (MIGs) and whole air force.
Yeah, obama did the same thing with ISIS. Let them take all American arms from the Iraqi government and into Syria.
Nobody understand American decision than themselves. Even KDF will leave Somalia one day in the hands of Somali Government but should Alshabab regain strength, we should not be blamed. After American exit, Afghan Gov didn't send troops to the abandoned US bases only after weeks Taliban arrived there. Indeed they might be week as Taliban puts it

Such an easy take over, seems like an under the table deal between two parties
Been that way since WW2. The Taliban takeover looks just like the Mujahedin takeover after the Soviets left.
In the end it will be the same. They will fight and argue until Afghanistan is run by provincial war lords again.

The Afghanistan people not resisting Taliban shows how corrupt was the US led Afghan government.
if you resist you die
@Nazimir, you got the point. It is simple and common sense that if you don't welcome them you're dead.
It’s not like every day afghans have guns laying around their house like Americans do! Most of these people only have the bare necessities. I’m tired of hearing the argument the Afghan people are not defending themselves. They are poor and mostly uneducated country… To resist the Taliban Is immediate death sentence! Even the last 20 years my friends in Afghanistan were terrified of the Taliban and they weren’t even in power. now unfortunately their worst nightmare has come true again. This time they have American weapons and training… There will be no getting rid of them. It’s a shame how many thousands of American and allied personnel were named and lost their lives and for nothing. My heart is broken for the people of Afghanistan
300000 national army serving the Afghanistan people VS 80000 Taliban and yet you say if you resist you die?
Lol the afghan ppl that resisted were hung... no one wants to die.
Even after 20 years, afghan government forces that was built with the help of NATO still has less will of fighting compare to the Taliban that was toppled from power in 2001 and reduced to guerilla forces hiding in mountains and caves in Afghanistan for 20 years.
Wrong.

@@gruntusmc8922 Well They are winning so why would they settle for a shared Government. Not everything happens as the US says.
B) You are assuming the people are against Taliban. which happens when people watch too much US media. Taliban are very popular among most of the Afghans hence there are videos of civilians welcoming them into their cities.
C) for west they might be Terrorist but the momment US invaded the locals saw them as freedom fighters. Even now people support them because they are getting rid of a US imposed Government.

Not really because america gave the afghan people freedom and liberated afghanistan for the last twenty years to be fair, it is not their fault because the withdrawal of american military was in preparation since trumps administration.
The main culprit is the afghan government who was corrupt and unable to unite its people, and unable to have a united central government and who were unable to defend their country after twenty years of american training and funding, afterall it is their country, they have to fight for it but they clearly failed, and showed no heart at all.
Whereas, america lost trillions, sacrificed its military personnel and after two decades later back to square one, and that is why I said it was a pointless war.

America required 20 years and done nothing 🤣
not true..when US attacked the Afghanistan, talibans crumbled immediately, and why would you say they did nothing? they actually installed democratic regime there for 20 years but it's a losing cause see what happens when they withdraw?
@@Darko-kn6il they did nothing because whatever they do crumble in 2 weeks..

That isn't exactly the case with Afghanistan tho 😄
Exactly. They are just a bunch of thugs with AK 47s so just arm the Kabul populace. Why are people in the cities so afraid? There are millions in Kabul just give each a rifle to defend themselves
Actually its surrounded by mountains

Wait, wasn't Afghanistan supposed to be a "cake walk"? Oh, my bad, that was supposed to be Iraq. Or was it Vietnam?
Vietnam was botched by a civilian government that placed arbitary restrictions on the military
Iraq went fine, their armed forces can hold their own now.
The afghan army on the other hand, well, they're not very competent
Afghanistan and Iraq were both cake walks and we obliterated all organized resistance.... then we spent decades trying to make incompetent corrupt governments work because we are morons who didn't think about what to do after won.
this was easy for taliban since its their country America had nothing to do with this place anyways
Don't worry. Usa will soon conquer Afghanistan in movies😂
RIP all the Americans, British, Russians/Soviet soldiers & the rest who lost their lives in the territory called Afghanistan! You were sacrificed for nothing! I feel sorry and pained for their near and dear ones!

Delta variant: I spread faster.

How does the families who lost a son or daughter feel to watch this happen. Those lost lives mean nothing, nothing
I understand that sentiment, but I don't happen to agree. They died to TRY to build an army able and willing to defend the nation (and, yeah, I know about the corrupt government). Their attempt was honorable (even if a mistake by the American government). It may be akin to a firefighter who dies trying to rescue a family or a home, but to no avail.
In the end, it seems it was all for naught. So sad. We all just want to live in peace.
The Taliban say this is a popular uprising. The Afghan people have chosen their own future. So be it.
Exactly how I see it, if they want to live in mud huts for the rest of their lives then let them. Look how well that worked out for the Vietnamese
Exactly and so they did several decades ago , the T... are in Afghanistan many decades ...

This is what happens (again and again!) when the United States installs a president with no legitimacy in a country it knows nothing about. My heart aches for the Afghan people 💔
why? Their lives are going to go on much the same.
History supports this during the Cold War to stop communism’s spread.
The US should have reinstalled the monarchy. One of the few unifying things in Afghanistan.
But if the US hadn't gotten involved, the Taliban would have ruled Afghanistan for the last 20 years. People can debate whether the country would have been better off...but I'm fairly sure that for many of the women in Afghanistan, Taliban rule would have been a disaster..
This is the bad side of USA playing world police: they'll put a puppet in charge of your country

The Taliban are the Afghans. Just as the Vietcong were the Vietnamese.

25% of Taliban are Pakistanis, born and trained in Quetta and Peshawr

@@error404O the training not necessarily better, but morale/indoctrination/conviction/sense of unity are considerably higher and better than that of US-Nato trained.

Today is a just re-run of the Mujaheedin govt collapse before the Taliban in 1994.
@@error404O
Since we are talking about the Vietnam War, just the Vietcong needed the NVA, the Taliban needed the Pakistani intelligence. But since the war was against the Taliban and not the ISI, the damage (the 2001 defeat) was only temporary.
30 April 1975 - Fall of Saigon, after the withdrawal of US from Vietnam, almost the same result as the withdrawal of US from Afghanistan

I am a US Navy vet and I hang my head in sorrow for all those that gave their life fighting wars with hands tied behind their backs by our coward politicians. We may have the most powerful military in the history of the world but if it is restrained it is useless. This "Moral" negotiation tactic we've been using since Korea only leaves hope for the opponent. With hope humans will never relent.
I definitely agree. It's like a boxer trying not to lose a fight, but not win either. No knockout allowed for one combatant. War is brutal and terrible, and should be fought with every resource and resolve or not at all. If WWII had been fought by the allies in this manner, the Axis would have won. Forget the media and public opinion, take the gloves off and do our soldiers a favor and lay waste to the enemy or don't fight at all.
I'm worried about the Women and children, they will be brutally raped and killed for doing nothing....
Why every countries can't get together and attack on those terrorist organisation and end this cult ?

You're regretting that you didn't cause even more bloodshed and violence?

Odd how easily Afghanistan fell.
Are the Afghans so incompetent? Its unbelievable
CCP is also behind this, they have been meeting with the Taliban. China is rubbing its hands , US gone, and a new state to breed anti western anti democratic terror.
@@chilesauce7248 yeah and the current Afghan government is really corrupt, also many of the troops are quitting since they only joined the army for the money. I wouldn’t be surprised if many of the current politicians suddenly have big ties with the taliband
@ Damien Spectre I don’t blame you for not understanding what is going on the truth is most of Afghanistan stands with the taliban 70% of the country’s security forces switch sides that’s why the US ran away from the country overnight and that’s why the taliban were able to advance so quickly because their is barely any resistance from the government sides.
Imagine how much of a hard time north korea would give to the americans.
hahaahahahha
They already beat them once, usa sucks
@@texajp1946 they didn’t, do your research? The U.S destroyed the North Korean army and pushed all the way to the Chinese border, the Chinese not wanting a capitalist state on their borders pushed them back to the half way mark and thus the infamous DMZ was established. The North Korean army was absolutely decimated and humiliated, the U.S wasn’t anticipating a Chinese intervention hence the retreat. Learning facts is a powerful thing.
@Mocro Lion have you ever read a history book? We’re talking about the Korean War here right? I’m not American nor British but even I know what happened there so I’ll quickly summarise it for you so that you don’t get it confused with propaganda in future,
-North Korea invaded South Korea and nearly took it completely apart from a small piece of coastal land.
-The U.S deployed a relatively small task force(remember this, it’s important) to push the North Koreans back over the 39th parallel.
-The U.S operation was overseen by General Douglas MacArthur.
-The objective was to push them back over the parallel, the U.S was successful in doing so, so much in fact that they kept pushing all the way to the Chinese border taking the North which wasn’t part of the initial plan.
-The Chinese deployed thousands of troops and the U.S with a small force didn’t want to deploy thousands more to the region and risk initiating a war and retreated back to the 39th parallel, the Chinese tried and failed to push them further and thus the DMZ zone separating communist North Korea and capitalist South Korea came to be.
So no the Chinese army wasn’t too powerful for the U.S nor it’s coalition which is irrelevant in this sense as the U.S’s allies weren’t even involved in the Korean War at least not in any meaningful military way, you’d know that if you read a history book, the U.S could of deployed full force but that would mean another war a decade after the ending of WW2 so you can understand why they nor anybody wanted that.
