WATCH NEXT: A year after Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, more than 200 thousand people are dead or injured and more than thirteen million are displaced. VICE News has been on the ground covering the frontlines and the human tolls of this brutal war. This is a year of war in the battle of Ukraine. - th-cam.com/video/U741F22Cw80/w-d-xo.html
And the western countries giving uncountable support money weapon to the ukraine it simple actually NATO EU nd america are using ukraine against Russia nd fighting and coz of dis so many innocent people of ukraine are getting killed feel sad for the life’s but america nato eu are busy earning money from dis battle against Russia and ukraine
200,000, dead or wounded! Wow I Didn't know that. Putin is drowning in the blood of his victims for sure

"They wanted to fight, they were just so tired and under supplied."
Sounds like they didn't want to fight and so they didn't. Instead they took the opportunity to run.
Taliban lives in mountain caves and uses shotout AKs and RPGs from the 70s but still fight. ANA has modern equipment and firepower, drops it all and jumps on the first flight out.
I completely agree and it's crazy that other people cannot see this. All I see is young, healthy men running away who could easily take up arms and fight for their country. And the ANA. What a joke, they couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag. Half of them can't even put a helmet on facing the right way. Maybe they are tired because all they do is smoke hashish and opium and sleep under trees all day. Under supplied my ass! They have top tier state of the art U.S combat equipment. It's absolutely a lack of will!
No they definitely were tired to some degree the war had dragged on for two decades already on top of a conflict going on since 1979

My cousin who has done 5 tours British army said years ago ' The second we turn our backs, it will turn into how it was when we arrived'
That's how. It is to be.
No offense, but it's not like he was a 60 year 5 star general with any actual experience with what was going on either. Everyday he was there it was better than the day of and days following the invasion and if the us had spent more time there vetting and training it could of been different because there was change and it was getting better.
@@TheChinBurton your 5 star general is trying to teach the taliban critical race theory and waving the gay flag around Kabul. Guess what? Afghanis don’t take kind to all that crap
@@TheChinBurton My tour to Afghan (9 months) I was on a NATO base that had a medium sized compound attached with ANA soldiers. They were the laziest people I've ever seen in my live. We told them hey... we're going to be leaving soon sooo uhhhh maybe don't get high everyday and try to betray us? V4V is right, any vet that went to Afghan will tell you. It will be the same as when we arrived. The ANA don't care about defeating the taliban.
*Edit Plenty of supplies and money were given to them throughout the years and they still didn't care. To the people saying oh the reason they all stopped fighting was because they stopped getting paid.... they weren't even fighting to begin with lmao
@@sofaking1102 You’re most likely right because you witnessed it yourself.
"listen to this guy talk about how the Afghan army didn't give up"
"so yeah the Afghan army immediately gave up..."
""It's an over simplification, you see just the majority surrendered the few hundred left couldn't fight because it wasn't fair there weren't enough of them left."
I know this dude didn’t know what he was talking about
that's what i also believe, it's not like they didn't wanna fight,
can you imagine an army of a few soldiers against over 2000 talibans?.. as a soldier you are not supposed to surrender but not everyone think the same....

The US's goal was never to stop the taliban or help Afganistan. We go to war because it's profitable for a few people. That's it. That's all war ever is.
feel so sorry for the children and women, they are the lifegivers, reason the homes are comfortable, reason you all continue. yet they are treated like slaves. our creator put men and women together to make life and to love, not to rule and hurt n treat like slaves. oneday after you are gone from this life, you will find the same kind of life you haver given waiting for you, not virgins
All power on earth is useless against the pious mujahideen
In the US Army, if a private loses a pistol he will be reprimanded and possibly demoted.
But when the US Army loses a trillion dollars worth of equipment to the Taliban, no one is responsible.
Pretty asinine huh? 😂
they didnt lose it, they gave the equipment to the afghanistan millitary, but Taliban defeated them and got all the american weapons and stuff
Good point. I don't understand why the equipment wasn't bombed if they didn't have time to evacuate.
@@MrZZooh Right? Even in World War 2, when France surrendered to the Germans, the British opened fire on French ships so that they couldn't end up in German hands. The French ships were told to sail to a neutral port, to be scuttled or to join the British fleet in order to not let these ships join the German navy. When the French refused, the British sunk the ships.
I know this isn't exactly the same thing, but the principle is much the same. When they thought the Afghan army would be able to fight off the Taliban, then taking those weapons away would feel like it opened the attack of: "You expected them to fight the Taliban but left them with no weapons?" however without a victory against the Taliban, the problem you're left with is: "You left all these weapons intact for the Taliban to take."
@@Jessica7318 So the WWII British followed a Scorched Earth Policy?

@@amistenson2535 Yes, five cars filled with cash.
I guess the president discovered the letter "E" in August and changed the plan.

Lol how are these reporters trying to say the Afghan army did not surrender and are not at fault, when they literally described the special forces laying down their arms and getting on an airplane with Vice to leave Kandahar? These losers had unlimited funds, US airstrikes, modern weaponry, and US intelligence and still couldn't survive longer than a few weeks. They absolutely deserve the lion's share of the blame.

@Me Am come at me
They tried to make the argument against Afghanistan‘s military failing, then they spent the next 15 minutes talking about how the military just gave up. I’m confused.
Right? What a joke. "It's not a lack of will but only 200 soldiers out of 1,000 were willing to fight." MMMMKAY
@@Kevhoe broo this confused me
Obviously it was a lack of will to fight, they have been working along US n UK armies for years they've been trained by them, been given way better equipment, the taliban gained contril over afghan in a week without much shooting or killing, easiest job I've seen
And nothing about how most ANA soldiers have been without a paycheck for months. An unpaid soldier will never fight for long. The Taliban aren't in a comfortable situation now either. The Warlords who supported them will want their cut. The Afghan Treasury is basically frozen now through international sanctions. Drug revenues might buy an army, but they don't feed a nation.
The Taliban are in the hotseat now, their conquest isn't as secure as it seems.
@@FreeManFreeThought The Taliban has never been dependent on money from the heroin trade. Yes, they tax it, but the real money for the Taliban as an army and for their religious schools comes from Saudis who want to export their vision of a theocratic nation abroad to Pakistan and Afghanistan. Billions in support.
"This wasn't a failure of the Afghan military" guy then explains why it was a failure of the Afghan military...
Krishna is an absolute idiot in my mind after this video
exactly.. i dont understand why he saying that, isn't they themself saw what the afgan military do on that video..
I thought I was the only one who can see how dumb that guy is
I think the takeaway is that it’s not the boots on the ground that failed in fighting the war, but the higher ups! You can have 10 000 willing soldiers and one useless general to get this result
We could argue saying that “coward American troops is the reason for this mess” is equally wrong when it was a political discussion to pull the out in the worst possible manners 🤷♂️

Let's stand with them, sharing their stories and celebrating their strength. In the face of hardships spanning two years, these brave souls press on, painting a path to a brighter future. As we remember August 15th, let's keep alive the resilience that transcends borders and binds us all.
youv'e wrote hundreds of words for no reason, Afghans peoples problems were created by themselves, if they let the American carry on their mission and establish a democratic government, none of these problems would have existed in the first place, but muslims have a mentality to just fight anyone without looking at the bigger picture

How are the Afghanis shocked by the Taliban making it in Kabul?
I've been following the military action since 2001, and the Taliban was ALWAYS there. One day US troops would train some Afghan men, the next day, the same men would fight alongside the Taliban.
When Biden announced months ago.that the US would leave this year, it was OBVIOUS that the Taliban would take over.
Absolutely....another parallel to the fall of Saigon.
The shock is mainly how fast it went down, not that it happened
Yupp exactly ! The people who were in the military were also low key taliban
It wasn't obvious like you say it was. Especially when the US president and many other governments were surprised by it.
Spot on! The worst part is I don't think there was any scenario where pulling out of Afghanistan doesn't result in the Taliban getting back into power. Whether it was Trump, Obama or Biden or whoever comes after.
President of Afghanistan: " dont worry guys i have a plan"

@@stopidvideos I never understood one thing - why was everyone in Europe and US forced to take people in when the Syrian thing happened? In the past they always just sent their forces in. They never supported a massive migration and forced countries to take in refugees. Isn't anyone wondering why all that happened? To homogenize the world? Muslim religion is one that can not homogenize with other's way of living. So what was the point of that? Now troops are pulled out, before civilians and planes may have to leave some behind?

Could be forgiven for assuming maybe a number of ANA soldiers were playing both sides of the same coin ? The west are too naive for their own good
Afghan military died in tens of thousands already fighting the taliban, much more so than US troops. They were counting on US air support and drone surveillance. When biden pulled the plug on that I would have run as well, even in my own country if all support would be gone and knowing it is the end. I don't know if he was just too dumb to understand the consequences or did this knowingly the army would just quit.

it’s similar to the fall of South Vietnam but there were major differences as well. ARVN troops held out for over two years after the American withdrawal. Afghans, on the other hand, generally are more likely to align themselves politically with other Muslims than accept a western style of government, hence the swift victory by the Taliban.

Exactly. In fact many of the ANA support the Taliban and defect to them. On paper, the ANA is much stronger, and if it actually fought, it would beat the Taliban. The catch is that they aren't fucking fighting - it's a bad joke. The grunts' morale is practically nonexistent, most are in it solely for the pay and many sympathize with the Taliban, the officers are corrupt and incompetent. The only ANA units actually doing something are the special forces, but they're far too outnumbered.
The guy being interviewed is extremely naive. Those forces were *ALWAYS* going to capitulate to the Taliban in a matter of months regardless of how advanced the weapons and equipment we gave them were. In fact, we gave the Afghan forces the mediocre equipment and no real air force because we *knew* they would capitulate and turn the weapons over to the Taliban. The Afghan gov't never had any real support outside of Kabul and a couple other of the largest cities. Funny how the minority of Afghans living in those cities are the only people being interviewed by reporters.
The dude was like "lack of will to fight of the Afghan army is an oversimplification" and then a minute later "a small minority of soldiers had a will to fight, which was not enough to win". WTF?
It is an oversimplification because it implies the fault is entirely with the soldiers. When in reality a great deal of it is with how the US set up an ineffective government, overlooked corruption, made it dependent on itself for logistics, and then pulled out as if soldiers would think that government was worth dying for.
Kinda of an unproductive blame game. In my eyes it falls more on the responsibility of the soldiers. They have weapons, they have training. Do they want a taliban gov or not?
@@joela.4058 they didn’t have sufficient military training nor did they have morale after the US left without installing sufficient stability militarily and administratively. Yes, blame can be allotted to the former Afghan government and military, but more so is attributable to the political incompetence of the US and UK
@@johnholmes2745 Bro, it's been 20 years. If anything this shows that no amount of years could've prepared Afghanistan for this. I spent a tour in Afghanistan and so i have some anecdotal evidence. President Biden even asked his advisors how long will it take to prepare the ANA to defend against the Taliban and none of them could give him an answer so he made the sensible decision and continued to pull out. If we spend a generations worth of time training and equipping an Army for it to still not be prepared then that is no longer on us, at some point the weight has to be shouldered by the Afghans.
@@dylanbarnes4486 I concede it was correct to pull out, but logistically leadership fell short of departing effectively. Leaving an abundance of weapons at abandoned bases, afghans clinging to US aeroplanes while bedlam ensues at Kabul airport, and providing insufficient training to afghani forces could have all been prevented if more astute measures were employed.
Not going to lie, with all the problems the US has, why are we worried with a different country. Worry about our problems
USA historically has created more problems than it has solved.

“A few hundred willing soldiers.” How is that not a lack of will again? Sounds like the 300k “Afghan army” was literally a paper army. It was a paycheck not a willing army. You can’t pay for that.
Exactly dude was contradicting himself so much😭
Yea that was so frustrating to hear at the beginning. Of course a large part of this failure was a lack of will; I mean, how could it not have been? We trained their army for 20 years, gave them tens of billions in equipment and on the ground support, and they still couldn’t last more than a couple weeks.
I mean hell, that’s the definition of not having the will to fight.
It’s also partly just due to the makeup of the country apparently. There’s been a lot of discussion this week about how there’s not really a sense of a cohesive national identity, but Afghanistan is rather a collection of tribes that people identify with on a small, localized scale. Thus, it’s exponentially more difficult to create a national army.
But regardless, it’s an incredibly nuanced and difficult situation. All we can do now is wish for the best.
Absolutely. The interviewer say "Our own Ben Solomon was just in Afghanistan, and says the failure to stop the Taliban had nothing to do with a lack of will" and one of the first thing Ben says is "We didn't expect and we didn't foresee that these soldiers would just so quickly give up the city"
It absolutely sounds to me like Ben agrees with Biden that it's a lack of will.
@@SM-rk9wz exactly. I don’t understand where they even came up with that “not due to a lack of will line”, to talk to any American troop stationed in Afghanistan and they’ll say the same thing, the Afghan army largely had no will.

"Why didn't we see it coming?"
Because you weren't paying attention. The rest of us were.

No you’re completely incorrect. There should have been a plan of withdrawal in place and negotiations with the taliban in order to secure the safety of all the American lives that are still over there and maintain the democracy that was built. This administration completely abandoned the country and left an extensive armament in the hands of the taliban.

@@raven6955 he literally mentions the failed leadership. Read better.
The previous government was more or less a puppet of the United States, artificially held together. In reality they shared almost no substantive policy differences with the Taliban besides their overt US backing and at least tentative willingness to allow democracy, and it should come as no surprise that their resistance crumbled at the mere mention of a US withdrawal. They had no will to fight because they were a product of the US occupation, not anything resembling the will of the people of the country.

@Eremias Ranwolf Which I wouldn't disagree at all. I simply commented it's chilling the prediction became true.
Well the issue is that if we did not go after Taliban during Alqaida years we would have 9/11 every year, Osama hated US for supplying Saudis and corrupting his beloved state, Osama wanted to kill every US soldier on this planet and Civilian and then started a movement which used his millions of wealth to supply a terror group and to make it continue...
after his death it merged into small al-qaida groups and rest of soldiers went to the Taliban and some defected to ISIL and got killed by Kurds or Taliban themselves.
What US needed to do is to partially withdraw army in stages just like they had done in Iraq or syria and not all at once.
It happened before in Vietnam. The next generation of U.S. politicians and generals thought they could do better . So it happens again and again. U.S. just never learn not to get involved in other country’s business! Let’s watch if U.S. will get involved between China and Taiwan.
the fact nobody wants to hear: the Talibans success would not be possible without significant support from the afghan people.
saying no one in afghanistan wants their regime is simply wrong and delusional.

Then you weren’t paying attention. Yes they laid down their weapons, what else could they do? They had no ammo, food, supplies or backup.

The U.S armed the Mujahedeen in the 80's, years before the taliban and Al Qaeda were created. After the Soviets left, they had a civil war between multiple different Mujahedeen factions. The U.S supported the Northern Alliance led by Ahmoud Massoud, who fought the taliban and Al Qaeda until the day he was assassinated by a plot organized by Osama Bin Laden 2 days before 9/11. The Taliban and Al Qaeda was supported by Saudis and Pakistani ISI, which is why Bin Laden, a Saudi billionaire with ties to the royal family, in was found in Pakistan in a neighborhood filled with Retired generals and ISI. It's also why the majority of Taliban are Pashtun, which is a large ethnic group in Pakistan. You are not informed enough to be that opinionated

@@scottostrowski5406 Right, the Afghan military surrendered to bribes and promises of safety instead of fighting. They were legitimately not willing to fight.
Never said the situation wasn't oversimplified. My point is that just because it's oversimplified doesn't mean the Afghan military was willing to fight, when the majority of the military obviously wasn't.
Yeah exactly. The guy's view on it is skewed by the fact he was posted with the ANA Commandos the whole time, those guys are the real troops who were properly motivated and professional, but they only made up a small minority of the overall army force in the country. His whole stance is misleading and ignores the wider issues faced by the ANA as a whole that lead to them just not wanting to fight.
That was my takeaway as well. Seemed to me that the piece only disproved it's own starting premise.
The piece described an elite force of a few hundred Commandos that was willing to fight but was not equipped and ultimately told to stand down by their leaders. Where was the rest of the supposedly several hundred thousand strong Afghan army?
Nobody doubts that there were some with the will and the bravery to fight, but clearly there weren't enough of them. Nor did they have the proper support from their corrupt and incompetent leadership.
