lol Gen. John Campbell, head of coalition forces in Afghanistan, acknowledged Helmand "has been a very, very tough area" over the last several months. "But we feel very confident with the Afghan security forces as they continue to grow in their capacity," he said.

TheIllestVillain posted:there was no taliban in 84  ninja: really though that's kinda ironic if you think about it, we gave him big iron to take out the soviets who were our enemies, but then they eventually went away, so he became our enemy and we shacked up with new enemies to take him out. now he's gone and our old new enemies are etcetc

TheIllestVillain posted:lol the taliban aren't taking over poo poo they can barely control their own bumfuck tribal areas The Taliban were never based on the traditional tribal structure of the Soviet-era mujahideen, they were ethnic pashtun but that's it. They will almost certainly re-take control of Afghanistan, and their Pakistani counterparts are more powerful than ever. Insofar as there is an ethnic or tribal struggle it will be between Taliban Pashtun and anti-Taliban Pashtun, with the Hazaras trying to stay out of it.

Agag posted:Not true, but still a nice thing to say to the disabled vet before you drop change in his cup. How did they get trounced? They controlled every are that they ever tried to control. They couldn't control it without heavy military presence in place but that isn't the same thing. quote:You mean like Mullah Omar? Yes. Like Mullah Omar bu someone else. We should have found the guy who wanted to be the next Mullah Omar and told him that we'd put him there and have his back forever if he only helped us out just this one time...

unless the next mullah omar is simultaneously pashtun tajik hazara uzbek and turkmen there's always going to be conflict in afghanistan, that strongman dictator poo poo won't work in a country that is like 70% minorities who are all armed and hate each other but hate the largest group (pashtuns) the most

Idk running around to a bunch of different poles with plates spinning on them trying to keep everything balanced and spinning constantly because if you let one alone for even a couple seconds it'll topple to the ground and shatter seems like it's just slow inevitable failure.

breaklaw posted:How did they get trounced? The Taliban fought the most powerful and expensive military on Earth the whole time, are still there, and will retake control of the country, and are stronger than before in a neighboring country. The "but we killed more guyz!" whine is at least as old as Vietnam, but failure is timeless. quote:Yes. Like Mullah Omar bu someone else. Except it was and will be Mullah Omar. Or maybe his 2IC if a drone manages you get him.

TheIllestVillain posted:tehrek-i taliban is currently a mess, massud is dead, they have figures defecting to ISIL and they're currently being hammered by the pakistani military. they're in no position to help anybody LOL, the government in Islamabad was just negotiating a cease fire with them, which TTP pulled out of because they didn't see any benefit. Aside from entering into top-level negotiations with the government, they've also never controlled more territory. If your idea of "getting hammered" is being more powerful that at any time in your history then they are certainly getting hammered. By "defecting to ISIL" do you mean that TTP members are flying to Syria to observe or participate in another 'jihadist" war in a difference theater? There is no shortage of manpower in Waziristan. AQ? They were wiped out in the first months of the invasion (the only success of the entire war) and the Taliban went on to fight the US for over a decade. AQ doesn't contribute anything except money, which the Taliban doesn't even need because they are selling opium again since the US invasion. But hey, maybe you are right. We'll see soon enough. You don't know what you are taking about, but I guess we'll see soon enough.
