On September 11th of this year, 20 years after the towers fell, Afghanistan will be firmly in the hands of the Taliban.
Meanwhile if you're an American you are waking up to multiple levels of electronic surveillance to ensure you don't complain about the state.
Mission accomplished everyone!

You're kidding, right? In almost every single engagement against US/NATO forces, the Taliban lose. Best case for them they run away. There's only been a VERY few instances where the Taliban have successfully taken a position from the US, and that was only in cases where it was like 5 US guys stranded on a mountaintop surrounded by 200 insurgents.
The Taliban knew this, their goal wasn't to win the military battle in Afghanistan, it was to win the PR battle in the US. "Americans are too soft, they'll give up once we make them have enough bad takes on MSNBC to make them feel bad while eating their burgers and cry on their TikTok". This was Japan's strategy in WWII, and they were a far stronger opponent. They failed because we weren't crybabies. I guess now we are.
There is absolutely no way the Taliban could defeat the US. Their only goal was to get us to wuss out. That is how they won.
To their credit, they are very good at recruiting and motivating their troops. This is because they use the ISIS playbook of paying in pussy. When the Taliban roll into town they round up all the unmarried girls and hand them out as brides to their troops. (The more retarded troops used for suicide attacks get fed the line about getting virgins in the afterlife). The ANA sucks because they do not get paid in pussy, and are often not paid in anything at all, their corrupt commanders embezzle the money, so they have no skin in the game.
The worst position to be in is to be a guy with a young nubile wife when the Taliban take over your town. Magically the next day you are hanging from a rope for being a "collaborator" and they graciously redistribute the newly-minted widow to one of their good bois.

The MSM is still digesting the fact they took Kandahar. But that was so yesterday. They are past that and in to Qalat city. Only 1 more stop until Next stop, Kabul.
I think all these intelligence "experts" who said it would take 90 days for Kabul to fall will once again be proven fools. The Agfhan army don't give a shit about the US's interests, why should they? They where only there for the gibs and as they learn the grift is over they are walking away.

lol...at the rate they're making progress, this might as well be their theme song, except they don't bring the jubilee nor a flag that makes you free:

Just to put in perspective, they just went from Quelat to Ghazi in a single day, thats 215km of ground they just conquered in 24hr.
This is how far Ghazi is from Kabul:

Nah. Military vehicles have nothing on commercial trucks when it comes to maintenance, utility, or comfort. The only reason to roll around in an MRAP is IED's, and when you're the one setting the IED's...Well, I'm not shorting Toyota yet.

What an asinine comparison. We stuck it out vs. Japan because, unlike the Taliban, they were in the process of conquering the entirety of Asia, threatening multiple allied states like Australia and China, and because they declared war on us, not the other way around. Pearl Harbor was just a useful rallying cry for a whole lot of other reasons to stick through the war and see it to completion.
Afghanistan, meanwhile, has been nothing but a fruitless nation building exercise to line the pockets of Raytheon and Lockheed Martin for the past 10 years at least. The Taliban weren't even the ones ultimately hiding Bin Laden, we found him in fucking Pakistan. To say nothing that absolutely zero of the 9/11 attackers were Afghani, they were mostly Saudis with a smattering of members from the gulf states or the Levant. We went in with a murky casus beli at best, and public opinion wasn't behind the war after maybe the first 18 months.
Ending this farcical charade and leaving the fuckers to go back to their preferred hobby of sodomizing sheep and little boys isn't some sad indictment of the American public's spirit, it's a sad indictment of our corrupt, self-serving, and directionless leadership.

TBH, interpreters & their families should at least get a ticket out, since they did contribute towards the militaries & have a huge target on their back for their collaboration.
That being said, I do expect the Afghan government to essentially drain out into the West as their personnel flee to friendly nations, and the middle class will be paying big bucks to get out as well. The rich already likely have their ticket out, and the only reason they might be staying would be to dispose of their assets or that they think they can manuever into a position in any new government.
One day you might even meet Ashraf Ghani walking his dog down a leafy Fairfax street...

The US did quite well with the Vietnamese that we brought with us, you're not getting the bottom dwellers from Afghani society, you're getting the highly motivated types. With the exception of the LGBT ones, you'll get a lot of productivity from these people.

The way things go, yes, you'll get some of useless socjus ones who'll immediately graduate into activism + a bunch of mostly harmless gays, but you'll probably be able to get most of the remaining graduates from the University of Kabul & some of the foreign-educated Afghans who worked in government.
If so, this would be the final reaping of whatever meager human capital Afghanistan has. Meanwhile, the hordes of undereducated young men will be headed for Europe soon:
Afghanistan’s crisis will soon be Europe’s too
The inevitable new wave of refugees may have no choice but to head to the Continent.
