US intelligence predicted the seizure of Kabul by the Taliban in the near future

22

American intelligence predicts the capture of the capital of Afghanistan in the near future, setting aside from a month to three due to the pace of the Taliban offensive * (the movement is banned in Russia as a terrorist movement).

Recent US intelligence data suggest that government forces will lose Kabul this fall. As the American media write, earlier in Washington it was believed that the Afghan army would defend key cities, but this is not happening.



According to early calculations of the US military, the probable seizure of the first Afghan province by the Taliban should have taken place no earlier than autumn, while to date, nine provincial capitals out of thirty-four have already passed under the control of the movement, and three more are on the verge of capture.

In Washington, they fear panic of the civilian population, which will rush to the still safe areas of the country on the eve of the seizure of Kabul by the Taliban. In this regard, plans have already been prepared for the evacuation of the American embassy and diplomats from the Afghan capital. The United States and Great Britain urged their citizens to urgently leave the country, while France and India have already begun to evacuate those wishing to leave Afghanistan.

Against this background, the United States actually "washed its hands", declaring the need for the Afghan army to defend its freedom on its own. In the Pentagon, answering a question about the possibility of striking the Taliban after the final withdrawal of troops, they said they did not know in whose hands the power would be after August 31.

Meanwhile, the Taliban captured the city of Ghazni, 150 kilometers from Kabul.

      The Americans did everything they could for the Afghans. In the end, the Afghans did not need all this. It is their choice to live in the Middle Ages. So there is no need to feel sorry for them.

          They tried to create a state that the Afghans themselves did not need. They pay for stupidity, and now the Americans will have to pay.

              This is where the state begins. But a lot depends on the people. The USA always acts in their own interests, but gives their wards a chance. Look what Yuk was like in 1953 or Taiwan in 1949. But people there wanted to work and develop, and not drag their children into the Middle Ages. Well, the result is visible to everyone. The South Caucasus and Taiwan are rich states, the results of the labor of whose citizens we use, and Afghanistan is a cesspool without a future.

                However, there are countries with a much more difficult demographic situation than Afghanistan, which, as it were, hints at where it is easier to live.
                Life does not consist only of the opportunity to buy a refrigerator or TV, it is multifaceted.

        They apparently need a strong Islamic state. We must respect the opinion of the people of Afghanistan. The people decide everything for themselves.

        And what do you care about whom we feel sorry for and who we don't. Nobody asked you for advice.
        There is such a wonderful expression.
        Don't tell me what to do, and I won't tell you where you need to go. ...

        My God! ... They are not able to calculate the Taliban, where do they still climb with their assessments of the capabilities of us or the Chinese ??

          Do not rush to assessments, the same Anglo-Saxons may be behind the Taliban. Perhaps there is a reboot, some of the bandits are exchanged for others, even more rabid.

      It is cynical of course on my part, but I would support Turkey's involvement in the Afghan conflict.

      For the sake of relieving tension in Libya, Syria, around Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia ...

      Yes, no Voyak, most likely not, they will try to support and negotiate with the forbidden, two options will not work out, leaving without a gulp, or getting bogged down for years in a partisan, smoking a war with a variable intensity. hi

    Well, the United States has a lot of experience in this regard.

    It is interesting that just about recently, one of the officials (I forgot I confess) said that the government forces have a HUGE advantage in the form of US aviation, and then it turns out that it has no time to hand over the CAPITAL.
