      Well, probably because USSR tried to put native afghani government in control - soviets only needed it to be communistic and subordinate of USSR. They weren't interested in keeping Afghanistan under direct control. So soviets actively trained afghani communistic forces and government and helped them with money and equipment - but that clearly wasn't enough so soviets actively used their own military since 1979, trying to keep everything under control. So when soviets pulled out, afghani government still fought for some time, even though lost eventually.

      You force that government to release 5,000 Taliban veterans well they're fighting a pandemic and drought, gut their air force and logistics during the Taliban offensive, refuse to allow them to kill thousands of Taliban prisoners then tell the Taliban and the government soldiers that come three weeks time, they're simply not going to receive bullets and obviously it's going to fall apart.

      Seriously I get wanting to get out of Afghanistan but Biden basically handed Afghanistan on a silver platter. He left the Airfields/bases before getting all our allies and civilians out first and didn’t even let the Afghan government know. The Afghans were trained to go into combat with air support. He literally pulled Military out before civilians leaving Kabul defenseless, then the realization hit him and was forced to bring back troops, too little too late. They even were offered control of the Kabul airport via the Taliban they refused which ultimately led to 12 dead Marines and 1 sailor. Biden had more time then Trump to get this right but he was to busy appealing the the LGBT+ Alphabet community.

We do not like Bin-laden, he was a terrorist, however, I don’t think that any of us would hand over a Muslim brother to an enemy without proof, no matter how hard the struggle.

    My uncle joined the sunni mujahideen, and fought under Ahmad Shah massoud, and after the war, went to live in Saudi Arabia because he did not want to kill innocent Afghan civilliains.

      It is one of the stupidest things to say, since religions cause wars, then we should not embrace Islam
      Islam is different from other religions that call for ridiculous things, and Islam, through jihad, allows you to defend yourself and Muslims because religions command their adherents to kill Muslims or non-Muslims who oppose it. Did one of the Muslims or the polytheists attack during the Battle of Badr because they wanted to interfere in the affairs of others and kill all the Muslims even after they migrated to Medina?
      Did the Muslims attack Khaybar because they wanted to push their noses in as the Quraysh did, or because the Jews who betrayed the covenant and were expelled by the Prophet gathered in Khaybar in order to confront the Prophet from there?
      Did the Muslims conquer Mecca out of anger at the Quraysh or because they betrayed the covenant between them?
      Tell me
      What resulted from atheism?
      Atheism resulted in the passing of Nazi and communist ideas, and as a result the Russian Civil War occurred The Soviet Union arose, the Great Purge took place, Nazi Germany arose, World War II arose, and in the war between the communists and the Nazis, 23 million were killed!!!
      From atheism, communist ideas passed through China, and I do not need to talk about the Cultural Revolution, the Great Leap Forward, and other things that communist China did.
      Now you say that religions cause wars, but we as Muslims cannot count our wars on the wars of Christianity
      The important thing is that if it were not for religions, many wars would not have occurred, and I say that if it were not for atheism, these hideous events would not have occurred.

      IS on the other hand well they give the impression that they just want to seize power rather than wanting the best for Muslims and Islam, they do criticize wrong things done by Taliban and they are right but they are definitely not right to takfir Taliban and rebel against them as it's pretty much against Islamic law to catigorize someone for apostasy for just signing a cease fire like what taliban did and IS exaggerates and says that this cease-fire is cooperation with the enemies whether they are usa or china or iran.
      I'd find the best to rule the Muslim world to be similar more to al Qaida since they hold the middle ground they do not takfir people too irrationally like IS but also they are more global in their intrest unlike Taliban which is busy and rightfully so to serve their people to rebuild the Islamic emarate. It's a criticism though cause Islam bans nationalism and tribalism as all Muslims are the same and must be united in one state with one aim and goal to spread the law of God and justice.
      If you were wondering secularism is complete apostasy and heresy from Islam and spreading such ideas is punishable by death penalty cause it is basically a treason against Islam and Muslims.

    Hay que admitir algo aguantar 20 años de guerra contra varias de las mayores potencias del mundo es de admirar... Además de que en cuanto se fueron los yankies no tardaron ni un par de meses en apoderarse de todo Afganistán... No apoyo su ideología pero hay que recalcar la persistencia de esa gente.

    The taliban won for 3 reasons. One they were genuinely as stubborn as advertised. Two Pakistan and Iran covertly supported them so no matter how bad it got there was always a base of operations to maintain them. And three covid hit forcing an abrupt stop to any US support. Once the money dried up the troops melted away.

      Although the monarchy was pretty stable, the seeds of the future war were already being planted before 1973. It's hard to say if Afghanistan would still be stable today if the monarchy remained, although probably more stable than it is now.

      The only military challenge taliban has other than preparing for future against china in east Turkistan is IS organisation in Afghanistan, but IS do not have the popularity of taliban so it doesn't seem like they'd win this one though it might cause annoyances here and there like constant assassinations and bombings here and there.

      America was trying to give the Afghan government a chance to fight against the Taliban. Yes, the US wanted to pull its troops out of Afghanistan, but it didn't want the Taliban to take over. Unfortunately the government was corrupt and too many Afghans were fine with Taliban rule so the whole country collapsed.
