AFGHAN special forces are being left for dead as Taliban militants encircle major cities and cut off essential supply routes.
Government forces have had ammunition wiped out from battling Taliban militants, who have now seized control of 85 per cent of Afghanistan.
The Taliban seized large swathes of territory after US & UK troops pulled out earlier this month following a peace deal that paved their exit from the Middle Eastern country.
The Islamists have encircled ten major cities and skirmishes have broken out in the southern towns of Ghazni and Lashkah Gar, and Pul-e-Khumri and Taluqan in the north.
Fighters have also surrounded the former British home base of Kandahar in Helmand province.
The western city of Qala-i-Naw was briefly overrun by insurgents last week until government troops launched a counterattack, which has seen the city entrapped in days of raging battle.

The Taliban are using the same playbook that they used in the 1990s to conquer Afghanistan. Surround and starve the cities. Not surprising. The aid agencies are already sounding the alarm .... Afghanistan on brink of humanitarian crisis-UN refugee agency (Reuters).

FUCK Aid Agencies. They are staffed with a bunch of Kumbayas types. They complain about any military action without which they could not go into areas and start awarding themselves merit badges to show off to their friends.
These surrounded, starving Afghan cities are their collateral damage.
Tell me is doctors without border going to be able to go anywhere in Afghanistan and give medical care to anyone who is injured with Afghanistan under Taliblam control? No. No those shysters will just move to a little friendlier country and get indignant, when you bring up Afghanistan.
Be of good cheer!
