* US General Mark Milley: 'I think there's a very good probability of civil war'
* Analysts are concerned conditions could be ripe for Al Queda or ISIS to return * The rugged valley of Panjshir held out against Soviet Union for nearly a decade
* Resistance fighters there also held on during Taliban's first rule from 1996-2001
* Former vice-president Amrullah Saleh spoke of 'large-scale humanitarian crisis
Taliban fighters today advanced deep into the last holdout province of Panjshir, with analysts believing the resistance could collapse in a 'fight to the death', while a top US general has warned Afghanistan still faces a wider civil war that could fuel the resurgence of terror groups like ISIS.
His stark warning came as the country's former vice-president Amrullah Saleh said Afghanistan was on the brink of collapsing into a 'large-scale humanitarian crisis', with food and money becoming increasingly scarce.
The Taliban is pushing ahead to crush resistance forces defending the mountainous Panjshir Valley, led by Saleh and Ahmad Massoud - the son of legendary anti-Taliban commander Ahmad Shah Massoud.

They should give way. Mao would and as stupid and venal as he was, he understood some military matters. Let the Turkmen tie some Taliban down and then come back.
The Tajiks can give a good accounting of themselves against the Taliban. Against the Taliban, foreign fighters, Pakistan and China, it is suicide.
"It is suicide." Unfortunately it probably is. As has been said, "live to fight another day." Obviously none of our venal "allies" are going to step into the gap that our idiotic leaders vacated.
As for the adage of "live to fight another day," a number of Republican leaders seem to have adapted this approach. It seems their perfectly willing to ignore electoral fraud and throw former president Trump, his family, and Associates "under the bus."

How do you mean? If there's a problem with my analysis, please elaborate.
As for people who offer sound analysis, expanding upon it and adding additional insight as I have done is good. In contrast, trolls such as yourselves have nothing of value to offer. In order to appear relevant, you must insult and slander others.
Keep whining Putin fan boy.
