Everything coming out from Afghanistan the last month says the Taliban is getting their ars handed to themselves. I condider this article rubbish.

I’ve seen and posted a few of those articles.. Hogwash might be a more appropriate term, but from what is implied, the Taliban are willing to keep risking losses in exchange for successes by seizing weaker held areas and know that their hold is not likely to last when forces are marshalled and focused on those areas.

as Iraq winds down, more attention and pressure will be applied to this area and, as always, Iran is right in the middle of everything supplying both hardware and advisors/fighters. When the boot finally drops on them, the taliban will be caught in a pincer along with Iran. then the real poop will hit the fan..
