Taliban forces enter Kandahar, the second largest city in Afghanistan

.

That is an Afghan propaganda source. We need something more reliable.
They didnt needed boats to topple major cities in 2001

Comparing 2021 with 2001 is like comparing apples with oranges. The situation today is very different. Day and night difference.

The US/NATO had huge amount of forces on the ground in Afghanistan to topple the Taliban in the early days of the war. That is a fact.

Entirely depends upon the scale and intensity of the air strikes, and to what desired effect.

Bombing indiscriminately won't achieve the intended goal. America has already been bombing Afghanistan for 20 years with no result.

It is important to understand the difference between 'strategic bombing', 'tactical bombing' and 'precision strikes'.

Strategic bombing is conducted to devastate entire landscapes and/or eliminate entire population bases.

Tactical bombing is conducted to soften enemy positions and make it possible for troops on the ground to clear enemy from the battlespace. This is preferred method for Air-Land operations.

Precision strikes are conducted to assassinate individuals, destroy equipment, level a structure, or to create pressure on a group for political ends. This is also preferred method for COIN operations.

A country can be subjected to 'precision strikes' on a regular basis but this method is not suitable to win a war.

USA subjected Afghan Taliban to 'tactical bombing' back in 2001 when Bush administration wanted to topple Afghan Taliban-led government and dismantle Al-Qaeda Network in Tora Bora mountains.


Tommy Franks was the chief architect of the aforementioned military operation and Afghanistan became peaceful for several years.

- - - - -

Afghan Taliban began to regroup in 2004 and resurged in 2014. Pakistan and Qatar were able to reduce hostilities between USA and the Afghan Taliban however. Pakistan and Qatar brought USA and Afghan Taliban to the negotiating table and the latter two have a deal now.

Afghan Taliban negotiated its way to victory with support of Pakistan and Qatar in other words. There is no guarantee that Afghan Taliban will be able to take over entire Afghanistan by force however - political solution might be the only way forward for all stakeholders in Afghanistan.

Afghan Taliban are not equipped to challenge and/or withstand USA in open battles. USA have sufficient firepower to turn 'any' country into a wasteland with strategic bombing'. This method will cause unprecedented number of deaths in the region however. Donald Trump pointed out as much to Imran Khan in a meeting.


Therefore.

i am seeing they didnt.

US forces were sent months later when talis govt was completely toppled by rentless air bombing at the height of their power

USA if pursue relentless bombing can do the same

but i doubt they will..Biden aim is to take out all of afghan interpreters and then some ..so there govt will be invovled till atleast mid next year

Exactly, the one thing these people burn at the most is our unity. So the more we love each other the more they burn inside.


How long can we keep being "the bigger person", we have 2 neighbors that j**k o** to our destruction and genocide. At one point we gotta give them the same treatment.


Another Gem from our "brotherly muslim nieghbours". Honestly its an insult to label these people brothers/muslims. They're are the same as Hindutva nationalists. I can only hope God protects us from these scum.

No one with a functioning and balanced intellect would ever argue the case that america is incapable of destroying Afghanistan. That was never in dispute, since history has testified to the destruction america is capable of, i.e Hiroshima and Nagasaki. However, it is america who defined Al-Qaeda as the enemy and the latter was hosted by Taliban. As such, america went on to define Taliban as the enemy, as well. Since the rest of Afghanistan and its population was not the enemy, america had a clear target. And here is where the problems began for the supposed "Sole Superpower" on the planet.

The Afghan Mujahideen (Taliban), used asymmetric warfare to counter the overwhelming military power of the americans and their NATO allies. In order to destroy your target, you must locate them first. Otherwise you are just shooting blanks in the air. And america has been in Afghanistan for the last 20 years, shooting blanks. Reason? Well unlike Iraq, Libya and Syria, the Afghan Mujahideen do not have a structured military layout. There are no large military bases, there is no communication relay stations, there are no munitions depots, there is no supply-chain logistics, there is no command and control center of operations.

In other words, Afghanistan and it's fighting force, which is the Afghan Mujahideen, are invisible. For the better part of the 20 year occupation of Afghanistan, or as the americans refer to their government's war campaign there as, the "Forever Wars". The americans were essentially lobbing bombs on mud-huts, the balance of warfare is calculable. For instance, the initial american air-strikes into Afghanistan were by launching Tomahawk Cruise Missiles. Each Tomahawk Cruise Missile costs $800,00 plus and they had launched hundreds of them. And then there are the bombs, a single JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munition) costs $40,000 plus and they had launched thousands of them.

Essentially, americans were burning through hundreds of millions of dollars, which later translated into $2.26 trillion over the last two decades ...... on mud-huts!!! Americans were bleeding money in their "Bogus War on Terror".

Oh and that caca-mee-mee about america can finish Afghanistan in hours, is nothing but a load of hor$esh!t .... Why? .... Well in the even that america does decide to do such a thing, there would be dire consequences that await america. In fact, this is precisely what america has been avoiding to do, over the last 20 years. The use of overwhelming force upon a country that doesn't even have roads. Would provoke the "unthinkable" for america. That unthinkable is the region around Afghanistan, coming together under unity and coordination, to retaliate against the Western occupying forces in the region.

For starters, China and Russia would respond and they will provide "draining military assistance" to the Afghan Mujahideen, against the american and NATO forces. But that isn't the thing that the americans fear the most .... what would send shivers down the collective West's spines, is an alliance forged between a Shia Iran and a Sunni Pakistan, to work together to hit america in Afghanistan where it hurts the most. A rapprochement between the Shia and Sunni sects in Pakistan and Iran, would have devastating consequences for the West and their Zionist Masters.

A Shia/Sunni rapprochement would usher the collapse of the Najdi-Wahhabi ring of regimes throughout the Middle East. The so-called "Arab Spring" would look like a walk in the park to the sheer brute force rebellion by those who witnessed a Shia-Sunni rapprochement to fight the Western Hegemon in Afghanistan. Since the last 100 years, the West has been basking the sun because the Muslim World has been divided and be led by traitors and scum who exploit and manipulate the Shia-Sunni divide. The entire Western apparatus in the Middle East, exists on this single problem the Muslim Ummah has been plagued by for centuries.

So I call this american overwhelming military power, a DUD! The american military may have the claws and the fangs to tear through the strongest of powers in the world, but those fangs and claws become brittle the moment they are confronted by a Muslim World which is united and has established firm Imaan.

It is time for the Muslims of Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan to THINK!!!

Therefore.

Many good points in your post but I do not think you understand 'strategic bombing' and its psychological impact on human beings.

USA adopted this strategy to subjugate Japan in World War 2; Hiroshima and Nagasaki were wiped out with a nuclear bomb (each) and Tokyo was wiped out with firebombing. The Japanese were extremely determined (and brutal) people at the time but these horrific developments eroded their will to fight. People fight for 'something', and do not wish to be wiped out irrespective of how determined they seem to be.

Donald Trump was absolutely vague in his disclosure - he alluded to the possibility of winning the war in the region by any means necessary much like in World War 2 but his 'humanity' convinced him otherwise. Should USA bring its true military muscle to bear in the region, there won't be any Mujahideen left to fight Americans, and no country wants to be wiped out for Afghanistan either. Did you see Imran Khan boast in his face? He felt uncomfortable instead (any good man would in his shoes).

Trump's statement was but a reminder of the fact that 'any' conflict can be the 'motivating factor' for 'doing something terrible' in the face of uncompromising forces (dheet people). You may never know when somebody will snap and call it a day. This is why enduring conflicts are not a good thing and people should strive for lasting peace (and peace only).

Lasting peace is eluding everyone at the moment. The world is polarized with one sole super power and its not healthy. The only way to break this and create lasting peace is through a multi polar world the rise of Eastern Powers such as China and Russia to balance the US and keep it in check. The damage caused by the US will take generations to heal its scars are deep but also their must be a repercussions for the blatant murder of innocents it’s caused last 20 years. Either others extract or wait for Gods judgement. But this is also the fault of us humans to give one to much power to become unstoppable as we failed since 1948 to keep a balance.
