Taliban claims to control 85% of Afghanistan after rapid gains
www.aljazeera.com
The Taliban have been emboldened by the NATO troop withdrawal and appear to be pressing for a full military victory.

The Afghan government seems to be on the edge of collapse and the US hasn't even left yet. ANA soldiers are deserting and fleeing across the borders to their Central Asian neighbors. Some generals are drafting untrained civilians to plug the gaps, and the Taliban have isolated many provencal capitals so that they can only be supplied from the air.

The empire is fading comrades, the war is almost over.

    China isnt going to have a problem imo with Afghanistan or the Taliban, they've already struck some sort of deal it seems to invest in infrastructure and have the Taliban kick out ETIM.

        Taliban doesnt really have many options, they desperately have to rebuild asap or else its just gonna spiral into another civil war conflict soon enough. China is already on great terms with Pakistan, and I think everyone is just craving some stability in the region and for the us to fuck off.
