The real news are the reports of hundreds of dead Taliban scumbags in a series of battles with "The Resistance." Thus far all these reports are unconfirmed, but there has been on-going fighting in two provinces in Afghanistan, with the Panjshir Valley being the center of the battle. Called The National Resistance Front (NRF) it is composed of former Afghan army officers and soldiers, and local militias who were friendly to the US and other western forces.
Yesterday one of the self-proclaimed commanders of the NRF, Commander Moslem al-Hayat, who fled to London during the collapse of the government, and is still in London, supposedly raising support and funding, was quoted by British media. He says the NRF is strong and in a good position, in the fertile valley, to hold out "for a hundred years."
Reports claim the Taliban launched an ill-conceived and conducted operation up a narrow road and were ambushed and slaughtered. For their part, the Taliban claim, after an initial setback, they won that battle and are now in possession of 100% of the two disputed provinces. Independent verification of the reports is virtually impossible to get from the remote region. And is part of the reason the Taliban bristles at the sight of US drones...the drones will reveal the truth.
Another NRF spokesman, in New York, was quoted as saying they are VERY upset with the Biden admin for abandoning them, but there is no animosity toward America or Americans. Saw a pundit on a podcast last night who really laid out the case, and while some of his "information" is speculative, he nailed it. Based on my sources, and what I know of such situations, I think this guy has it 100% correct and the Biden fiasco will manifest in more ways to come. Of course the commie bastard lamestream media will continue to cover for Sleepy Joe.
