Taliban took Ghazni (150 km to Kabul).
Soviet regimental cannon ZiS-3 from World War Two and the Taliban in its background.
The Taliban leadership sets itself the task of in the maximum possible way to bring the entire territory of Afghanistan under its control by September 11, thereby effectively celebrating the 20th anniversary of the beginning of the "War on Terror" declared in 2001 by the United States.

Yes.
B52 runs are mostly to "slow down" the Talibans, but since they are now occupying most of the country and are moving way faster than anticipated by Biden, it's like trying to stop tide to go up.

US Keeping Distance as Afghan Forces Face Taliban Rout
Biden has made clear he has no intention of reversing the decision he made last spring.
It already had USA on its side once. Did that work?

At least the taliban appear to be following the US CDC social distancing guidelines before they asploded. We have a fairly recent Christmas card list/grid of their training & HQ camps. Someone should also tell them not to store their bombs where they sleep [secondary explosions]. We can work at night buckwheat.

Just weeks before the U.S. military is scheduled to complete its withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Pentagon is rushing 3,000 fresh troops to the Kabul airport to help with a partial evacuation of the U.S.

Denmark's sending a few in for Embassy & humanitarian evacuation. Hope the Afghan gov't can hold onto Kabul Intl Airport for a few more days. That would be a big help. We can still use our Ukraine plan. Leave a few gunships orbiting to look for baddies & never shut down. Best of luck to all on a safe operation.

US withdrawal from Afghanistan is the equivalent of me returning shortly after leaving because I forgot to put my pants on

Oh well, Kirby said they were "concerned" by the speed at which the Taliban were progressing.
While Psaki said the Taliban had to "asses what kind of role they wanted to play within the international community":
The Taliban retaking Kabul on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 is the perfect footnote to the history of the decline and fall of American Empire.
