How did a group armed with assault rilfes and RPG's defeat the United States military.? The U.S. had tanks, B52's B 1 bombers ,helicopters, and other weapons of war, but were not able to defeat the taliban. How did this happen. Your thoughts.

They didn't. They hid in the hills and attacked the Afghanis for the last 5 years.

We didn’t fight the Taliban. Trump made a peace agreement with them. Released 5000 of their fighters, brought over 10k troops home and then Biden finished the job and opened the door for the Taliban to take the country. Pretty simple. Pretty stupid

Ever try "winning" a war against a demonic ideology? Those goat herds didn't win anything. They just harried our forces until the political leaders finally saw how much a waste it was to be there. Actually, the politicians likely knew this long ago but there was too much money for their corrupt asses to turn down just because our people were being killed and maimed. That should in NO WAY lead to the impression that the charlie foxtrot that's underway right now, couldn't have been avoided.
 
Afghanistan will become a terrorist haven now!? The President should be removed from office.

Which one? The current and last two presidents withdrew from Afghanistan. I suppose we could strap a pack on you and send you over there to stop a bullet. or maybe someone you love?
 
If we weren't fighting, why did there need to be a peace agreement?
Because Trump wanted a smooth transition as he withdrew the troops and didn't want the Taliban taking over while Troops were in harms way. He knew the Taliban would take over once we left, he just wanted them to wait till we were gone. But yes I was speaking about the recent chaos where we were not engaged in a fight against the Taliban
 
So there was fighting going on before that, otherwise there wouldn't need to be an agreement?!?
Are you not aware of what was going on in Afghanistan over the past year? These are very odd questions. Maybe you should read up on the situation a little more.
 
I'm the one who's not aware? LOL




We have been fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan for 20 years. Maybe you should read up.
You’re obviously having a hard time following this conversation. Do you think the Taliban defeated our military with assault rifles? Yes or no?
 
By using Guerrilla Warfare rules laid down by Sun Tzu.

You can’t win a war using those tactics. What you can do is make the war so expensive in lives and treasure for so long eventually the enemy declares victory and goes home.

That is what happened in Vietnam. It is what happened In Afghanistan to the Russians, the British, and everyone else in history.

No matter where we went. We were vulnerable. If we built a base in the valley near a town, we were fired on by people in the hills. If we built on a hilltop, we were silhouetted against the sky and vulnerable to fire from below.

We grew weary of expending treasure and lives to hold a country we were never going to invest enough to actually make secular.

They won by waiting us out.
