Full title at link: US sends in B-52s in desperate bid to stop the Taliban seizing key Afghan cities - where British troops fought and died - as fighters seize prison and set all the inmates free in latest town to fall
US President Joe Biden has ordered B-52 bombers and Spectre gunships to target Taliban terrorists in Afghanistan who are advancing towards three key cities.
The Cold War-era strategic bomber first flew in the 1950s but is still used due to its 70,000lb payload and range of more than 8,000 miles.
They are being supported by the AC-130 Spectre gunships which are armed with a 25mm Gatling gun, a 40mm Bofors cannon and a 105mm M102 cannon - which can provide pinpoint accurate fire from the air.

Why aren’t we sending all our woke college kids to reason with them instead?, maybe a few plane loads of Social Workers would help too.
This loss is on you, Joe!
Leave it to Xiden to make huge mess out of a big mess.
We knew that withdrawing meant a Taliban takeover. Which means we will have to deal with Taliban as the government of Afghanistan.
So why bother to bomb them? How does that help anything?
Gonna serenade them with "Love Shack" ?
Forget bombs, just drop some vaccines on them!

Never underestimate Joe’s ability to eff things up.
This.
That said however, official news for today advises all those unmasked outdoors that squirrels are now testing positive for the deadly Delta Variant and all reasonable precautions should be taken.
Such precautions include staying indoors and on your phones at all times, buying stuff on-line from Amazon, sharing likes on approved Facebook content, reporting any neighbors who may be irresponsible unvaxed gun owners, and encourage little children to report their parents to authorities if they see anything suspicious in their households.(stuff like flags or the constitution)
Looks as if the chances are slim that you’ll end up being named the first U.S. Ambassador to the soon-to-be-established Republic of Talibanistan.
Here’s your stupid prize. Thank you again for playing Stupid!
Or just give them lots of money.
That’s what we do with everyone else that wants to kill us. Just pay them.
“Afghanistan has been a s**t show from day one. Nothing has changed.”
You can not conquer Afghanistan unless you are willing to be brutal enough to kill all opposition. The British, the Soviet nor are the Americans were brutal enough.
The Taliban are.
biden did that.
Did it for a while starting in the 1790’s until we got our deepwater Navy MoJo rolling.
So it’s not as if the practice is unprecedented.
Trying to help the Afghan army that’s American trained? Only that is reason to bomb them during a pull out. So reminiscent of Vietnam.
I wish we could put soldiers or at least back the border patrol on the southern border. Maybe use them at home? It’s all such a tragedy.
