Three Years After Biden Handed Them Afghanistan, Taliban More Secure Than Ever
Breitbart ^ | 08/15/2024 | John Hayward

The Taliban on Wednesday celebrated the three-year anniversary of the disastrous Biden-Harris withdrawal that gave them power in Afghanistan, more secure in power than ever despite constant complaints from the international community about their appalling human rights offenses.

Taliban victory parades on Wednesday included the huge amount of American military equipment abandoned to the terrorist regime by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Each former American military vehicle was festooned with the black-and-white flags of the “Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.”

Biden’s early vows to keep the Taliban regime completely isolated from the world community have given way to a more nuanced “mix of isolation and selective engagement,” as the Crisis Group delicately phrased it on Wednesday:

Western countries, frustrated especially at the Taliban regime’s restrictions on the rights of girls and women, have enforced a raft of sanctions, asset freezes and banking restrictions. At the same time, they have devoted billions of dollars to mitigating poverty and preventing famine, while some have kept in discreet contact with the Taliban about security issues.

Countries nearer to Afghanistan have gone further in dealing with the new regime in Kabul, striking trade agreements and accrediting Taliban ambassadors. They view concerns like security and water sharing as pressing and, in some cases, they are readier to overlook the Taliban’s treatment of girls and women – or at least to believe that outside pressure is unlikely to force a change in tack.

Keep thinking John Davis Long should have kicked his assistant in the nutz.

But that’s taking a kinda distant historical view of all things 20th century.

Screw those a-holes.
If they attack us or our interests in the future, bomb them further back into the stone age.

Of course. Why wouldn't they? They won.

OK to blame Biden (his handlers) for the messy withdrawal.

But I realized we were not going to win back when George W Bush started trying to turn
the Afghans into little Americans. The hearts and minds schtick does not win wars.

No one uses the word, “SURRENDER.” The United States effectively surrendered to the enemy, and fled. We’ve emboldened everyone who wants to hurt us.

Exactly. A quick hit to punish them for harboring Bin Laden. Then limiting military activities to hunting down OBL would have been sufficient. Pointless to try to turn Afghanistan into Denmark, or even the UAE. If a people don't WANT Democracy, Including Democratic Republics), it is undemocratic to impose it on them.

Taliban would still be in place, and might even be a sometimes harbour for bad guys, but no $70B in weaponry, and no USA humiliation. No lost trillion dollars. Fewer lost men.

They have a fully stocked mechanized infantry army and police force. Of course they are solidly in control.

The worst American military disaster since the Democrat war in Viet Nam was ended when democrats in Congress cut off funding for that war in 1975.
The democrats started that war in 1965, and after making a complete mess out of the operations, they abandoned the South Vietnamese people. Loyal friends who had supported the American effort to stop the spread of communism, and they were ultimately left to the untended mercies of the Viet Cong communists.

This is the same thing that happened 46 years later under another democrat, the hapless and unintelligent Joe Biden.

The cost of the American military equipment left behind should be paid for by the morons who voted for stupid, cowardly Joe Biden.
85 billion dollars of taxpayer money, handed over to a hostile regime, and NOBODY suffered any consequences.

Unbelievable.
