District After District Is Falling To The Taliban In Afgfhanistan

Experts say that Taliban feel emboldened by the US' decision to withdraw all troops form Afghanistan by September  

DW: District after district falls to the Taliban 

Since the beginning of NATO's official troop withdrawal from Afghanistan on May 1, the Islamist militant group has taken over at least 27 districts from Afghan forces, and the number is rapidly increasing. 

The Taliban are intensifying attacks across Afghanistan to gain more territory ahead of NATO's troop withdrawal in September. 

The militant group now controls vast swaths of land. 

Heavy fighting in many districts in recent weeks has inflicted heavy losses on both Taliban and government forces. 

On Wednesday, more than 20 Afghan commandos were killed in the northern Faryab province as they tried to regain control of Dawlat Abad district, which Taliban militants had seized 10 days ago.

Joe has his helicopter moment ahead of the midterms.

Not seeing many riots. Probably some going on in Portland, but the asshole press is keeping mum. Soros, the DNC and related groups keeping the powder dry nd stockpiling their cash and waiting for next summer for riots immediately in the 6 months preceding the midterms.

The Soviet Union couldn't win in Afghanistan. In retrospect, it was beyond the height of hubris to think we could.

Trump tried to get us out. Where he failed Biden appears to be succeeding. I thought the agreed on date was 5/1. Maybe I missed something. I don't think I did. We're still there meaning we're in violation of the agreement.
