On the point of assumption that US capitulation in taliban negotiations.

Remember my old chicken neck and Baghdad market story.

What if afghan people are the chicken in current scenario? Could be the case that, taliban simply offered that we won’t use VBIEDs in market places during your withdrawal as long as you don’t show any public support to afghan govt.

if we look closely, VBIED is almost absent in this taliban campaign. In past years VBIED is a key weapon in Taliban arsenal.
The deal has been cut and Taliban does not want to create a situation where the US is forced to respond or stay.

Currently both UK and US are deploying their troops to get their personnel out of kabul. Don't be surprised if Taliban starts knocking at the door of kabul just as the last US personnel fly out of there.

Just look at biden's statements no remorse no sadness guy has made it's extremely clear that they are getting out of afghanistan once and for all and are also willing to look at taliban as a political entity.

yup, and there is a possibility that even ANA won’t offer resistance until western forces leave.

If we can assume taliban was offered this deal, it’s not far off to assume same deal was offered by US to afghan govt. if they want to get into a civil war, they will have to wait till western forces fully evacuate.

If in some imaginary scenario hostage crisis happen like Talibs attacking our embassy or another hijacking or taliban conducts a big terrorists attack in india.

Can we use our aircraft carriers to launch a limited but strong air strikes against taliban? For some short period of time to teach them a lesson?

Why attack Taliban when you can choke the force behind it.

Currently a highly critical security meeting going on in Arg - Presidential Palace.

President Ghani will give a speech to the nation to either resign or declare state emergency & stay in power to resist the raging Taliban offensive.

Historic day for #Afghanistan.

Historic day? Is it for the lack of better words or secret admiration for Talibunnies?
What the Fk is wrong with journos these day... similiar wording by a phoren journo during 2nd wave peak in India & bodies piled up.

Chances of Afghan president resigning are remote.
