Taliban insurgents have seized Afghanistan's second- and third-biggest cities, local officials said on Friday, as resistance from government forces crumbled and fears grew that an assault on the capital Kabul could be just days away.
Fuckers are moving fast indeed, and JoeBi decision to pull the last US troops out right the day marking the anniversary of 9/11 was either incredibly cynical or stupid.
Beg to disagree, who cares about that date in Afghanistan. JoeBi should have pulled out faster including the embassy. The obsession with 9/11 will cost more lives for what? Afghanistan is not worth a loss of a single coalition soldiers life. Hell, even most Afghans arent fighting for the country that coalition made.
Get those Afghan commandos out and use them as a Ghurka type of force, at least those guys showed their mettle.

Turks are trying to form kinda Turkic union to establish buffer zone on airport kinda like 38th parallel. That area called ''Southern Turkistan'' has huge Turkic population(Uzbeks,Turkmens & Kirghiz etc).

Only secular minority with proper militants.
Turkic Resistance Commander in area, He was educated in Turkish war academies. Turkey would send TFSA to help him soon as possible.
Turkish & Uzbek SF trained just few months ago. I understand the reason why now, probably kinda jointly operation is oncoming.
Wall's of Kabul Airport with Turkic leaders who conqured Afganistan. Recently painted to boost moral
Turkish Army SOF in Afganistan 1999
ISAF NATO The Turkish army avoided any operation to avoid harm to Turkic people by Taliban.
As a Turk i hope our goverment save those people from becoming this. If Erdogan cant achieve something & those goat f...(taliban) start rapîng or killing Turkic people Erdogan's end would be like Ceaușescu of Romania.
Turkish authorities are working to set up talks with the Taliban, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Aug. 11, signaling that he might meet with the Taliban leader in the future.
A series of photos published last month by Chinese state media of Foreign Minister Wang Yi standing shoulder to shoulder with visiting Taliban officials decked out in traditional tunic and turban raised eyebrows on the country's social media.
Only foreign force left in Afganistan is Turkish 600 military personnel with few Azerbaijanis. Also some Us & Norwegian troops. Turkey running Kabul airport more than 6 year's also Turkish police provides security and Turkish technic ( Technical team firm of Turkish Airlines) maintaince the airport & landing strip etc.
This is shaping up to be quite the spectacle and possibly a bloodbath for a final evacuation. If the Taliban are willing to sacrifice their low level cannon fodder, and history points to this, the US Navy and Air Force will oblige.
At this point a negotiated evacuation seems unlikely.
The Afghan people are pawns in this, and though Afghanistan is known as the "Graveyard of Empires" the same holds true for the unfortunate Afghans themselves.
