Comments by "Comm0ut" (@Comm0ut) on "Inside the Taliban's Takeover of Afghanistan" video.

Talibs began with almost nothing and fought until victory using classic Maoist tactics. Outsiders tend to ignore how utterly worthless their opponents were as a group (individual valor is irrelevant as it does not win wars). The Kabul government squandered every advantage and deserved to lose. They were amazingly bad at everything, even worse than the government the Soviets left behind (because it was also worthless, the Soviets were not driven out by force contrary to myth and left in good order). Outsiders ignore that Sharia has worked for these cultures for hundreds of years. It is their way and their land belongs to them. Those not liking the arrangement are free to outfight and outlast those they disagree with while replacing the order they offer their traditional societies. So far the Afghan tribal societies have ejected every foreign interloper from the British (twice) and Soviets to the Coalition. It's time for outsiders to find another hobby.
