Straight white male supremacists. They were probably wearing Gadsden Flag t-shirts.

String a few weeks or months together like that, and Kabul could get to Philly or Chicago levels. Maybe.

Interesting. Like they're an official government or something.

There has been infighting among the jihadis, over who will be in charge.

Will Biden take a break from his vacation to take credit for this, or is this on Putin too?

Sunnis vs Shiites?

They’ve been killing each other since the 7th century.

They no longer have us to kill so they are back to killing each other.

“Sunnis vs Shiites?”

I don’t know about this strike, but the Sunnis have been at each other’s throats, to see who ends up on top.

ISIS-K and the Taliban have been shooting it out, and the head of al Queda (Ayman al Zawahiri) may have been sold out as part of the infighting.

This is almost certainly ISIS Khorasan trying to overthrow the Taliban and take over. ISIS has planted other bombs at mosques and assassinated various government officials and more moderate theologians.
