The military-industrial complex hasn't given up on Afghanistan while there's still more tax money to transfer to arms companies! And cushy post-military positions for generals to enjoy!

US to Pursue ISIS-K, al-Qaeda, in Over-the-Horizon Mission in Afghanistan

Quote:

https://tolonews.com/afghanistan-175556

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said the US will pursue an "over-the-horizon" mission in Afghanistan in response to counterterrorism.

Austin made the remarks at the International Institute for Strategic Studies' (IISS) Manama Dialogue 2021.

“We must work together to combat terrorism—including in Afghanistan from al-Qaeda, and from the malice and sectarian hatred of ISIS.” he said.

“And we’ll keep up our relentless focus on counterterrorism, even as we shift to an over-the-horizon concept in Afghanistan,” the defense secretary said at the conference.

Taliban leader calls for help in first Afghan address

The Taliban government leader asked for international aid and access to about $10 billion in funds frozen after the insurgents took over the country in August. The UN is warning half the country could starve this winter.The man appointed as prime minister of Afghanistan by the Taliban, Mullah Mohammed Hassan Akhund, called on international charities on Saturday "to not withhold their aid" as the country struggles with the threat of mass starvation.

They have no power. They are an enpty suit. They can't feed themselves let alone feed the Afgan people. The Afgani people will remember this and the Taliban will never be able to sell themselves as able to rule. I'm American and although I have a watch I can also wait for it.

Our help wasn't enough of a motivator to get the people to fight hard. Starvation is the best motivator there is. As sad as that is.
