https://mobile.twitter.com/LievenAnatol/status/1427341405786083328 i like how the big stumbling block preventing us from civilizing the savage barbarian culture of afghanistan is that they hate fighting so much they have an outrageously convoluted kinship system that makes it super easy to resolve conflicts without resorting to outright violence

it was obvious for a long time that afghan army soldiers weren't super keen on dying for the puppet state. given the option to quit, basically any sane person would do the same.

Also the the central government never ever got the basics right for military logistics and regular pay. Not exactly a cause and track record that would motivate people to fight to the end.

OLA captured the entire guji zone recently and has most of borana. Negelle Borana may fall soon. Almost all of southern and western Oromia is under OLA now, and they’ve captured the Moyale checkpoint with Kenya.

It's a shame twitter is such an awful format for it because this is a very good, long write up of the history of imperialism in Afghanistan starting with the Brits loving the place up heavily in the 1840s https://twitter.com/justinpodur/status/1427319555085553664?t=BbrJ-xhQDUtLk1ALq2gzKQ&s=19

Eh, the way home is pretty perilous even from Venezuela and US armed forces have such an absurd logistic footprint that I'd suspect they'd need to basically control the country(they do) before they can coup.

https://twitter.com/attackerman/status/1427724150483918855?s=20 So what's the deal with the Panjshir Valley that leads it to being the sole holdout against the Taliban? Wikipedia says it's the largest concentration of ethnic Tajiks in the country, but I doubt that's the sole reason. It was also Ahmad Shah Massoud's home region. The Taliban controls the whole country at this point. That's not hyperbole. What makes them think they can even hold out against that?
