Not a fun comparison to consider. The Taliban will control more territory on 9/11/21 than they did on 9/11/01.

It makes sense since both were takeovers.

Transition implies legitimacy for the new bunch.

...for piling on...

We should send money to East Turkmenistan Islamic Movement, which has grievance with Chinese Uygur repression and internment.

They are inside Afghanistan and very close for active operations, and there a a ton of them in Syria.

He missed the best zinger.

Afghanistan will soon have leadership almost as bad as that of
the United States.
