Taliban in Control

When things happen they can happen really fast. The Taliban have taken effective control of Afghanistan. In scenes reminiscent of the fall of Saigon in 1975, the US are using helicopters to ferry its staff to the airport and an escape from the US embassy. It is reported that the Taliban have even more territory now than when they last ruled the country. This has got to be humiliating for the United States.

Give credit to the Taliban fighters. As a force they're highly mobile with their little motorcycles and Toyota trucks. I noticed that on those motorcycles they go two up, one guy on the back with a rocket propelled grenade, the other guy in front with an AK47 strapped to his front. If they need more firepower they call up the Toyotas with heavier machine guns mounted on the back. They're coordinated through the use of walkie talkies. In this way they can very quickly change their point of attack. The opposition forces are almost always hunkered down in their bunkers.
