The Soviets didn't exactly get much help from their allies though when it came to Afghanistan.The Soviets took 10 years to realize the war is unwinable. Thge US took 20 years. Guess the Soviets at that time had a better sense of odds. Well let's see how Russia and China will deal with the Taliban. China is already making rounds. Either they will go full "Muslims in concentrationcamps mode" or they will deal with them like they do with the Africans: suck their resources dry without them noticing it
“We will fight hard and we will defend Kabul. The Taliban won’t manage to come here,” he said.
You got to see a city founded by Alexander. That's pretty nifty. "No reason," smh.Kandahar to fall in 90 days? Super glad i went over there for no fucking reason at all. Thanks Obama.
If Afghanistan was a vengeance of Vietnam for USSR from US.. then how can we relate the recent defeat of US
I would have rather have gone to greece

Ultimately it's because they're fighting for their lands, whereas other Empires ultimately thought it was not much more than a patch of dust not worth spilling blood and money over. Those imperial apperatuses pushing globohomo can always be redirected elsewhere, or even inwards back into the Empire.Afghanistan is where empires go to die.
These chads beat the US Empire just like their fathers beat the Soviet Empire.

I wonder who put up a better fight? The US LGBQT+ military forces or the Red Army?![]()
That's one of the reasons why the US may have been hesitant to pursue such a policy.But partitioning Afghanistan along ethnic lines is an admission that different groups persue their own self-interests which would be... problematic for America. In any case it's a non-starter because its so muddied. That map would lead you to think you could excise the Turkmens and most of the Tajiks relatively easily, but there would still be millions dispersed throughout the rump state, and this is to say nothing of all the other ethnic groups living side-by-side, valley-by-valley.
The salient issue is that as long as the different tribes put their loyalty to kin before the state then the Taliban (or some approximation) will have the recruiting pool available to conquer the whole thing. Why risk getting outmaneuvred by smaller factions propped up by foreign adversaries when you could smash them and take control of the whole territory yourself?
America doesn't have the will to fight hard enough ro defend even a miserable shithole on the edge of the world like Afghanistan, let alone a continent's worth of fertile farmland and bountiful mineral resources.This will also ultimately be the way that America will have to be won in the case it comes down to its people vs an enemy force.
The Chinese will simply resort to their age-long method of tributaries.America doesn't have the will to fight hard enough ro defend even a miserable shithole on the edge of the world like Afghanistan, let alone a continent's worth of fertile farmland and bountiful mineral resources.
Fortunately, the Chinese are too smart for overseas conquests, and everyone else is either too poor or too inept.
lol cry about it fagThe stupid thing is that we'd already blown our wad on pushing back the Taliban. Maintaining our gains was far, far cheaper than winning them. We built the dam to hold back the medieval savages and then we got upset about the cost of maintaining the dam. Now the dam has burst and it will take another 9/11 to wake us up again. 20 years is a long time, but if we'd just held out another 20 years a whole generation would have been raised to adulthood knowing only a world where you could listen to music and you didn't sell your 9 year old daughter into sex slavery to make a good business deal for your goat farm.
They will just continue to do what they have been doing. Keep buying up all the farm land and real estate. Secure major infrastructure like ports and utilities. Hold vital parts of supply chains. Back China friendly politicians etc etc.. Works way better then guns and bombs. Future generations will be paying tribute to and working for the CCP not because they conquered the west but because today's "leaders" sold it all to them.Fortunately, the Chinese are too smart for overseas conquests, and everyone else is either too poor or too inept.
Open your eyes. The reason the US left Afghanistan is pretty fucking obvious. The Taliban was more than capable of taking most of the country, foreign occupation or no, that's an indisputable fact. The US forces were concentrated in a handful of major cities and strategic areas, even with air support the TB would have handed them a massive defeat. Why suffer the terrible optics of the mighty American military having their asses handed to them by a few thousand inbred goat herds? Discretion being the better part of valor Biden made the right call.The stupid thing is that we'd already blown our wad on pushing back the Taliban.

Sounds like you hit the nail right on the head. And that's how the newest Chinese dynasty built (and are building) their empire. And it looks like they won't stop until they have the entire world. And Japan is nuked to oblivion.They will just continue to do what they have been doing. Keep buying up all the farm land and real estate. Secure major infrastructure like ports and utilities. Hold vital parts of supply chains. Back China friendly politicians etc etc.. Works way better then guns and bombs.

That sounds very ominous.Besides the people who run shit have made it clear that they will be re-focusing military resources away from foreign entanglements and turning them inwards onto the American population.
