Somalia is not Afghanistan and Al-Shabab is no Taliban,

Galbeedi, China and Pakistan are really happy. Russians and Turks are negotiating to stay. Indians are not happy. America will move on the next country they can destroy. Americans have short memory as long as the war is in faraway land. Taliban did indeed negotiated their way into Kabul. There wasn't real war. A good example is Jalalabad where a deal was reached.

Dear God, You could have spared this nacnac and simply told us predetermined 'logical' conclusion.

I knew from his first post. He is making a lipstick on a pig argument so he could eventually reach his real motivation. Everybody dutifully served the Kacaanka government it turned on them.

Al-Shabab will be contained.

Like many cities across the country, it looks the handover of Kabul is being negotiated.

Galbeedi, You got Amhara pulling their hair out, and an AU staff member taking a swipe at Samantha Powers through the AU twitter handle. I disagree with you on Ethiopia. The OLA-Tigray alliance might work, but it will devolve into civil war if TDF tries to enter Addis Abeba. Abiy is taking heavy losses, and his messaging is bad. TPLF has better PR. Regarding Somalia, the opposition has been taken for fouls by Madoobe and Deni. They can't complain to Qoorqoor, and others. Qoorqoor told them they agreed on indirect elections, show up or shut up was his message to them. Laftagareen cleaned house by getting rid of the likes of Ilyas, Just in, Jalalabad has fallen.

The last major city fell. Kabul is literally encircled now.

America is a mobile empire protected by the Atlantic and Pacific. They are still young and arrogant, but not out. China will be a horrible superpower, even worse than past western powers, as long as the communist party is in power.

Mazar-e-Sharif, the last major northern city, has fallen. Kabul is encircled.

They're 50 miles from Kabul.

He wanted to get paid. I don't think he was really ever interested in becoming a senator.

He wants to create more grievance brigades.
