Taliban put out a statement that they will only totally take Kabul after peaceful handover and will let whoever wants to flee to do so:-

What’s Kopet Dag?

the mountain chain that serves as the Iran/Turkmenistan border

also Turkmenistan is basically run by Ck2 characters with the "insane" trait. Putting a bunch of valuable infrastructure there is a dicey proposition.

Let me tell you about my opinion about Bernie Sanders and why Donald Trump is his true successor.

You cannot vote Hillary Clinton because she is worse than Trump.
Contrasting the American occupation of Iraq or Afghanistan with the Taliban occupation is incredible. The United States endlessly claimed that they pursued war in the name of peace. The Taliban were violent thugs that needed to be destroyed. So we ripped through the countries with trillions of bombs and bullets. The United States never succeeded.

The Taliban, without dropping a single bomb, did what the Americans tried to do in twenty years, but in less than a year.

If we could measure the Taliban vs. the American occupation in terms of violence and destruction, it just doesn't compare. The United States has inflicted more pain, misery, and death than what the most brutal Taliban fighter could possibly imagine.

The United States is the worlds biggest terrorist.

Way to back the US State's "it's just a temporary facility" line. Also RIP piece of poo poo prisoners' torture center (2002-2021), no one will miss you.

You know I went down a wikipedia hole today and saw that the Soviets flew an Afghan cosmonaut, I presume as part of a public relations exercise while occupying the country. And then I thought about how at least one university in the UK has just cancelled academic scholarships for all Afghans and I lmaoed very hard.
