Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, my brother.

Perhaps Kabul regime try really hard
to follow their master
(USA, the modern biggest terrorist).
But shamelessly, accuse the other party (Taliban) of terrorism.

To be honest, at this rate,
Kabul regime = terrorist grade A.
Taliban = terrorist grade E (a fail one).

😊

Afghanistan: Lashkar Gah residents urged to evacuate amid Taliban battle​

3 August 2021, 08:32 BST

Residents of a besieged Afghan city have been urged to evacuate ahead of an army operation against the Taliban.
General Sami Sadat, who is leading the battle against the Taliban in the southern province of Helmand, called on people to leave its capital Lashkar Gah as soon as possible.
At least 40 civilians have been killed in Lashkar Gah in the past day amid intense fighting, the UN says.
The Taliban are reported to have captured most of the city.

But the fighting is continuing and government forces have vowed not to let it fall into militant hands.
In a message to residents of the city, Gen Sadat said the army would "not leave a single Taliban alive".
"I know it is very difficult for you to leave your houses - it is hard for us too - but if you are displaced for a few days please forgive us," he said.

Gen Sadat earlier told the BBC that while government forces had lost ground, he believed the Taliban would be unable to sustain their assault.
The Taliban assault in Helmand province is part of a major offensive across Afghanistan.

The militants have made rapid advances in recent months as US forces have withdrawn after 20 years of military operations in the country.

Helmand was the centrepiece of the US and British military campaign, and any Taliban gains there would be a blow for the Afghan government.

If Lashkar Gah fell, it would be the first provincial capital won by the Taliban since 2016, when they briefly held the northern city of Kunduz.

Taliban are basically cowards - most likely using civilians including women and children as human shields.

I think I can think of many descriptions for Taliban but 'cowards' is not one of them. I have read British infantry reports on engagements with Taliban. The only thing that would stop them was massive air strikes. Other than that they would never stand down.

Well, considering they shoot little girls wanting to go to school - that's pretty much cowardice in my opinion.

I have always considered Turks to be warriors. Pashtuns are no less born warriors. The essential differance between Turks and Pashtuns is we are disunited, prone to tribal fissures, internal rivalries and religious backwardness although there are socio-historical reasons for this. When and if we united empires came into being and conquest followed.

What will save Pakistan? The Pashtuns. The Pashtun population in Pakistan since 1960s was slowly squeezed and marginalized but today it's gaining ground in education, political maturity and PTI under Imran Khan is manifestation of this. You will see the effect of this across all spheres of the country - military, economy, politics, sport etc.

There are American soldiers who kill young girls, rape young girls, slice of prisoners ears but do you use them to brand entire US Army? And in Pakistam we have about 50 differant groups all styled as 'Taliban'. Taliban is not exclusive club like.

Of course the Americans have been barbaric - Abu Gharib, My Lai come to mind. The Brits had Jallianwala Bagh. Point is there is some accountability and checks and balances. It is also the exception rather than the norm. The Taliban seem to revel in their cowardice though. It's like it's embedded in their DNA.

So killing 1 million Iraqi babies, girls, women etc was a exception? Mashallah you have very skweded understanding of what 'exception' means. By the way what accountability did Britain face for causing the starvation to death of 3 million Indians in 1943?

Two super powers forced them to dance for a long time. Still they are standing on the ground.
Don't you think Cowards have no History?
Yea - let's be honest. The Americans defeated the Soviets in Afghanistan using training, money, Stingers and Pakistanis. They also created a Frankenstein. Some guy shared a video of a Pakistani general talking about the Taliban and said that the Americans didn't lose a single military battle - but had no strategy. He also said the Taliban are terrible fighters. Even now, if Americans decide they wanna screw over the Taliban - How long do you think it would take?

If I said certain characteristics are embedded in Indian DNA you would be cry 'racism' to the Mods.
Aren't Taliban drawn from a bunch of races and nationalities? It's like the United Nation of cowards. Where does racism come into play?

How the Taliban Outlasted a Superpower: Tenacity and Carnage​

The Taliban stand on the brink of realizing their most fervent desire: U.S. troops leaving Afghanistan. They have given up little of their extremist ideology to do it.

By Mujib Mashal
Published May 26, 2020Updated Jan. 15, 2021
ALINGAR, Afghanistan — Under the shade of a mulberry tree, near grave sites dotted with Taliban flags, a top insurgent military leader in eastern Afghanistan acknowledged that the group had suffered devastating losses from American strikes and government operations over the past decade.

But those losses have changed little on the ground: The Taliban keep replacing their dead and wounded and delivering brutal violence.

“We see this fight as worship,” said Mawlawi Mohammed Qais, the head of the Taliban’s military commission in Laghman Province, as dozens of his fighters waited nearby on a hillside. “So if a brother is killed, the second brother won’t disappoint God’s wish — he’ll step into the brother’s shoes.”

It was March, and the Taliban had just signed a peace deal with the United States that now puts the movement on the brink of realizing its most fervent desire — the complete exit of American troops from Afghanistan.

The Taliban have outlasted a superpower through nearly 19 years of grinding war. And dozens of interviews with Taliban officials and fighters in three countries, as well as with Afghan and Western officials, illuminated the melding of old and new approaches and generations that helped them do it.

“We prefer the agreement to be fully implemented so we can have an all-encompassing peace,” Amir Khan Mutaqi, the chief of staff to the Taliban’s supreme leader, said in a rare interview in Doha, Qatar’s capital, with The New York Times. “But we also can’t just sit here when the prisons are filled with our people, when the system of government is the same Western system, and the Taliban should just go sit at home.”

“No logic accepts that — that everything stays the same after all this sacrifice,” he said, adding, “The current government stands on foreign money, foreign weapons, on foreign funding.”

1 million?
Britain was kicked out of India, leaving poor Churchill in tears lamenting the relegation of Britain to a 2nd rate power.
