KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Taliban fighters entered Kabul on Sunday and sought the unconditional surrender of the central government, officials said, as Afghans and foreigners alike raced for the exit, signaling the end of a 20-year Western experiment aimed at remaking Afghanistan.

Maybe I'm being naive, but at this point the only alternative was a long and painful siege, right? I hope the transfer of power stays peaceful, the Afghan people have been through enough
From what I've read keeping an eye on military communities, Kabul was the only city that was properly hardened with defensive lines. There was some faith that the government could consolidate with local militias in an anti-Taliban stronghold that they immediately abandoned, but anyone who believed in the ANA for some reason listed Kabul as the city that could hold them off.
Ground reports suggest that Kabul's only active defense was a piano suspended above a plate with a big roast turkey on it. Taliban commanders did not approach despite the sign saying "free turkey".
I also read that there were some mousetraps with cheese set up, but the Taliban kept grabbing the cheese using a stick while using a second stick to safely activate the traps.
I also read that one ANA commander was so angry that the traps didn't work that his face turned red and steam blew out of his ears.
So much time was wasted painting tunnels onto mountains which could have been spent digging trenches. The highway to Kabul was filled with signs redirecting the Taliban to Albuquerque but they had GPS and there's just that one highway.
Wasn't there various corruption scandals where whole military/police units and training bases just didn't exist and the money went straight into the propped up Afghan government's pocket?
I think they all did the same gags. He just did it to Elmer Fudd. I like to imagine the ANA as Wiley Coyote because coyotes are shit wolves that get stomped to death by donkeys.
Hopefully my mistake was simply a sleepy brain fart. If not - it could be a symptom of early onset senility. I'm sure it's not that. By the way - where are my glasses - have you seen them?

Seems like the Afghan government was the only military force in the country not funded by the US. I just hope it ends and the Yankees go the fuck home

The Taliban have achieved something considered impossible. Anti-Roadrunner intel.
Roadrunner is now a confirmed Taliban asset. How else could he have known if he wasn't receiving their intel reports?
Oops. What was I thinking?
