If one of the best countries in this world do things like this, what rest of the world can hope for.
Who knows what Afganistani people suffered because of "far eyes" and testing who knows which weapon systems on them.
No objections to that bt as usual things are not simple as that, i read on multiple articles that talibajs actually acepted to deliver obl, do not know how credible those claims are but if they are in big extent it invalidate your generaly speaking valid observation.
we had our mission on Afganistan but luckily in non combatant role, they were engaged on post guards duties as well as on mine clearing task. lot of civilians also worked for usa contractors due expirience from bosnia post war engagement.
No, we see how idenpendent. they are after last agression on gaza, usa signed 1 billion usd imediatelly for iron dom refilling. Which drones programs and in service?
They can impress toothless neghbor countries, anone else knows where is their real power, couple of domestic systems can not...
Might be now but that is not the point in 2 years if france or gb decide to have couple of hundreds new fighters they could have it. Capabilities are important....
Sure, but topic itself is click bait in that direction. Turkey aim should be to match Gb and France in terms of capabilities and numbers of airborne and sea assets not tiny israel which as anyway untouchable for forseen period of time as usa expositure.
Today israel can match in defensive war turkey but with each they it will be harder and more expensive for them, altougt this kind of hypothetic is boring as repeated many times..
In 10-15 year with fully digitalised and domestically weaponised turkish air force due simple numbers israel can not...
Familiar with that but tought considering that it has several big cities that it has to have some kind of production facilities or at least some remnants from presoviet invasion times.
I know this is premature and possibly non sensical question from my side but need to ask anyway.
Was there any industry in Afganistan and if there was what kind of it was present. Anyome with some insight about it ?
For long term sustainibility and image perception talibams will have to found proper media network, that will be hard task as social media giants forbid and restrict their presence untill then they will suffer from disinformation campaigns from east and west together, below is one example of it.
I doubt that they could give meaningdull resistance, now it is just enclave in comparation with 90ties. Really sad and unnecessary to prolong war now when it is practically finished and i doubt that this time talibans will be mercifull if they make quick victory they will set rather harsh...
This is becoming absurd, either allies should announce end of ecvacuation or they need to work closer with talibans to prevent loss of life and chaotic situtation due lack of awarness and information.
