Afghan army lost its last outpost in the north of the country

The other day between the Taliban and the garrison of the Balamurghab base in northern Afghanistan in the Badghis province, there were fierce battles, during which the positions of the regular troops were constantly fired upon from mortars. During the shelling at the base, large-scale fires began, which made it impossible for its defenders to stay there, so they had to urgently evacuate.

Thus, the Afghan army lost its last outpost in the north of the country. Balamurghab itself was captured by the Taliban (the Taliban is a terrorist group banned in the Russian Federation) almost two years ago, and the military base was actually under siege all this time. The seizure of the city by Islamists and constant hostilities have led this settlement into complete decline. Now Balamurghab is almost depopulated.

Fighting for the Afghan military base coincided with the anniversary of the signing of an agreement in Doha between the Taliban and the United States, which discussed the withdrawal of the US military by May 1 in exchange for a political settlement between rival groups in Afghanistan. Apparently, the parties to the conflict are not yet ready for a peaceful dialogue.

The Taliban Islamist movement began among the Afghan Pashtuns in 1994. It seized power in the country and held it from 1996 to 2001.

Afghan government troops were urgently evacuated. So the Taliban will return to power after a while. And the troops of the Merikos cannot stop them. Unless they start the second invasion of the 100 thousandth contingent of their troops.

Because the Taliban are Pashtuns, and another ethnic group serves in the army. Plus the brainwashing of the Taliban, plus the initial motivation. Amerskih henchmen always have better weapons, but absolutely zero warriors. Examples are Korea, Vietnam, Ukraine, and Afghanistan itself, plus many small countries that I don't remember anymore.

Maybe I'm wrong, but sometimes there is a feeling that in the conflict between some Abdula and Saidula, when Abdula owns Kabul, he owns the so-called. "Afghan army", and Saidul - the Taliban, and when Saidala owns Kabul he owns the so-called. The Afghan army, and Abdul the Taliban.

Bravo. Have seen enough of the "exploits" of the Turkish "Standard Bearers". And why don't you rule the troops in the DRA. And what are these drones doing today?

"Greens" as they did not know how to fight, and did not learn. How much the USSR drove into them, equipment, various weapons, training the local army, and so on. As a result, the Taliban took Kabul in 1996. Then NATO, led by the United States, also spent a lot of money and time, and the "greens" did not do better to fight. Everyone is losing ground and suffering losses. So you look, it will come to the point that the CSTO will have to seriously "sweat" on the southern borders (in the same Tajikistan).

If the real strategic goal is the fight against Russia and China, and for this you need to have camps for training militants, to maintain the production of heroin at the proper level and to carry out all other REAL measures, as they say.

Last time drug trafficking increased when the United States came there, and they came there because the Taliban, as a religious organization, pressed drug dealers - and in one fell swoop reduced the production of opiates in the country to a minimum. Which was very much not to the liking of the CIA, which has been protecting the drug trade in the world since the days of the Iran-Contras.

It is difficult to say how many minuscule amounts of drug profits the aborigines have and what they spend on, but this is not the Taliban, for whom this is all haraam. Two periods in the new history of Afghanistan, when drug production was reduced to minimum values ​​(it is technically impossible to achieve zero), this is the period of Taliban rule and the period of the presence of the USSR, but the United States raised drug production to record-space heights with a rapid jack (if I am not mistaken, then approximately from less than 200 tons to more than 8,000 tons per year).
