- President Biden announced US troops will be pulling out of Afghanistan by September 11, 2021. But the Taliban is still as strong as ever and the Afghans on the front lines are now going to have to face the fight alone.

“The Taliban could see this as an opportunity and attack”
Narrator: They did.
A couple of provinces.
they didn't even attack. they literally just walked in.
@@GarrettFischer1 I know right, walked in and didn't even shoot. That shows their kind of mentality, the majority of the population does not care about the taliban. Not to talk about ANA, completely useless.
This was months before the issue began.
@Jason Franklin Nice bot reply🙄 completely not this issue😂
Looks like we left more equipment behind for the Taliban to snatch up than we did for the Afghan army
That wouldn't have been the case if the Afghan army had actually put up a fight. They gave up after thirty seconds.
@@massimoscognamiglio7369 they didn't get paid in over 6 months by their corrupt government. What more do you expect from them.
@@Harsh-mb3ui at least try fighting for their own future, sadly they gave up
Well, maybe they figured their future is the Taliban.
@@Harsh-mb3ui I didn't make any judgements about the people inside the afghan army, I only said what happened.
Great job by the national security advisor. The Taliban pretty much went through the entire country like a warm knife through butter.
Man, 20 years of all the sacrifice for nothing
By sacrifice I mean both US soldiers and the innocent Afghans.
Folded like a wet noodle... Nary fired a shot..
Guy wearing sunglasses during interview says a lot.
Taliban just pulled a Blitzkrieg 10 days and 30 of 34 providence’s under Taliban control. Kabul looks like Saigon, another loss for the US and west
"your crush is looking, act normal"

first time on the job
🤣🤣🤣
Training.
In old Vice report they claimed that many of these soldiers were rapists, robbers, and people with criminal backgrounds, or at least ordinary guy who pay a bribe to be soldiers or policemen.
They wont survive againts Islamist nationalist Taliban members who fought for free to get rid any invaders for the sake of their country and religion.
@@nanangsadullah8341 I'm not sure about 'many' of them being rapists, robbers .etc. that sounds quite far-fetched, but taking bribes is super common in Afghanistan yes. Corruption is very common amongst Afghan authorities and it starts from very top. How can your average police man or soldier with a minimal wage be expected to uphold morals when they see their superiors (and I mean all the way up to the top) partaking in corrupt activity. It's all about survival, and blaming the little guy is easy, it's about time the big players are called out. As for their chances against the Taliban, yeah they have a mentally, a dedication thats hard to match, thats for sure.
"We didn't expect it to come this soon", says Afghan Security advisor after 20 years of American troops on the ground 🤦🏽♀️
Yup, tho, US probably should have left a lot earlier and stuck it to the Afghan govt that they gotta defend their own country from themselves. The USA isn’t a “worlds police force” so called.
@@Windows98R they sure act like one 🤣
This hasn't aged well. The Taliban now control 80% of Afganistan close to taking over Kabul.
What ever Afgha will be, it is their own sovereignhty and nothing can resolve there internal dispute except by their own government and people. God bless you Afgha people. . .
95% now
Anyone can foresee this. Terror is a great power. The US is right to pull out and let the Afghanistan people to determine their path
@@在港陆人看世界 They were not right when they invaded the country in the first place. They should be responsible for their actions.
The takeover has begun
Very strong people! I’ll be praying for peace in your country. Respect from Poland
Who? ANA or Taliban 😂
@@shooters99 ANA, now that there on their own moslty, they will for sure start to be more disciplined and independent, especially as the u.s. trained them for years
Most polish people don’t like Muslims but I respect you not being a real polish hahah
@@Weirdlifee you must be pretty dumb to think intellectuals carry hate towards anyone based on their religion...
Please to note that Peace will be restored with the Endmericant out of the country. Those years wasted with nothing achieved.
In the 60's, Afghanistan was the place to visit for travellers and hippies alike. Then it turned into a war zone that still exists to this day. My educated guess is that successive foreign interference messed this country up real bad.
Without foreign intervention they'd be fine. The Russians, the Wahhabists, and the Westerners are all foreign interlopers. With that, they'd still be very poor and mostly rural but they'd be happy without people from other countries telling them how to live.
@@HavanaSyndrome69 they were way better off with the soviets than anything that came after. It was a secular country with relative equality between women and men. Just check out photos of Kabul from that era.
Damn y'all blame everyrone but Taliban and radical Islamists
@@rajeevparmar8844 yeah, all propaganda photos like the PRNK making a "show" of propaganda to tourists who comes visit their nation when the reality is actually different. That secularity and equality came in exchange of their freedoms.
@@nicolasceresoli9121 How do you define "freedoms" though? By Western European/North American standards, I'd argue Afghanistan wasn't free before, during or after Soviet times so not sure what kind of point you're trying to make there. It's the same bs we see peddled by the American media regarding countries in the middle east they've "liberated" - places like Syria, Iraq or Libya were much more prosperous for the vast majority (not to mention secular with womens rights) before western military intervention led to and even aided the rise of radical islamist groups and movements which have decimated much of the middle east and other countries in south asia like Afghanistan.
This is the moment when you realise global politics are way more compliacted than the 14 yrs old think

@@808lilglo6 Fr man even tho
I’m 17 but I’m way more mature and I see it how it actually is
Anyone who has seen Vice’s documentary “this is what winning looks like” knows how utterly useless it has been to stay in Afghanistan. If afghans truly don’t want the taliban they damn well better take then seriously and be prepared for conflict.
that's the problem. Those "Afghans" who don't want the Taliban aren't exactly what you would call the people. They're the handful of Kabulians who was raised in a Pro American Kabul. For them the Taliban were always the Bad guys, for the majority of the Rural Afghanis, the Americans were the occupiers.
Remember, it wasn't the Afghanis who requested the world to oust the Taliban, it was a US dicision
@@omairshafiq1998 exactly. If afghans want a taliban controlled government then it is inevitable that they will take over. The US could be there for a thousand years and that won’t change.
@@wigsmey4462 an all out war would end it within a year
@@wigsmey4462 part of the reason the politician in the documentary was taking a soft posture despite the journalist pointing out the loses Kabul was taking. Kabul knows it lost and wants to find an easy way out, because believe me this seems very much like the 1970s.
I don't think the Taliban are stupid enough either to let go of an opportunity easily after 20 years of grueling war.
What I believe they are afraid of is exactly what the US did in 1989-1992 after the Soviets retreated. The US left without making a government and that led to Civil war, the Taliban and everyone actually wants things to go slowly but so that the result is a very strong pact.
@@vsluj3508 End what exactly?
I was 15 when 9/11 occurred. After three tours of Afghanistan and this impending withdrawal I hope the international community's achievements and loss of life weren't in vain!

@@MrBassmann15 well...it was supposed to be May and now its September.
@@r.vasquez234 we haven't pulled out yet
@@nicholastrudeau7581 The point still stands that President Biden is pulling troops out within just one year of his administration. It took Obama all the way until 2011, near the end of his first term, to get us out of Iraq (before we went back in for ISIS).
lol rookie fiddling with his helmet in middle of training exercise. 10/10
I was like they have good mobilization but just looking at close quarters it was just laughable. Yeah the helmet issues was.... Atleast it was in training. I have hope for them. The culture isn't new to this.
@@inimical01 its just one guy with a loose helmet, bumbled cause the camera is on him. They probably filmed that exercise multiple times, and chose that cut just because of the helmet. Afghan people are true warriors, any peoples that are raised fighting for their lives are formidable.

It’s great to see how competent they look. Hopefully the US will continue to supply them.
Even after watching this, I’m actually still glad we’re pulling out. The end to this war is long over due. Good bye.
Pulling back after putting everything in place for the continuity of the long protracted war long live the US!

@@mykeh3155 Oh please, no country is a saint. Never forget that it was Pakistan funding the Taliban and killing good men like Ahmad Shah Massoud that led to this.
I can't help but to feel sorry for those Afghan soldiers who genuinely wanted to fight to get rid of the Taliban, only for them to be let down by those many who weren't motivated: same thing happened with Afghanistan as happened with South Vietnam. VICE did many stories in Afghanistan showing those true soldiers who were doing their job with what little they had - like that one Afghan sapper who was demining roads with his bare hands saying he was doing it because he hated the Taliban and would be ready to give his life so that civilians didn't have to die because of their IEDs (he died doing his job later), or the officer named Hamid Khan who showed all the qualities of a proper officer and even forces from the USA who worked with him said he was one of the best Afghan officers, but many men under his command were acting like idiots : /
MY RESPECT TO THE LAST SOLDIER 💪🏽🙌💯 "I WILL FIGHT FOR MY COUTRY AND THE PROSPERITY FOR THE YOUTH"
They are not fighting for country
@@abijatta How?
Raad Siddique in the US military a lot of guys join for free college and other benefits. The Afghans don’t have any of that, and I’d imagine if they only wanted work, anything else would be more profitable and safer, Hell they could just join the enemy if they were only self interested. I know what it’s like to be willing to die to defend your people. Nobody wants or hopes for that. Few in the West, at least back in the late 00’s, join up solely to defend and serve.
These guys grew up with war and the suffering it brings, they know what they’re getting into, and they live among their motivation, to protect their families, their homes, everything is at stake. They already know what’ll happen if the Taliban take over again, it’ll be nothing less than the death of their country, because nobody else is going to come back and spend decades rebuilding, again.
@@abijatta he is fighting for the country what else is he fighting for

hmmm by that logic, if we give them theocracy at gunpoint, will they vote in democracy then ?
@@kaptenhiu5623 Yes. There are pro democracy environment in Iran already
It's up to them.
It's their country.
All I have to say is that my Afghan people deserve peace and no more blood shed throughout this whole war Afghans have paid the consequences with more civilian casualties than the NATO forces and those who have invaded Afghanistan, if you ask every Afghan they don’t want US in Afghanistan it’s causing innocent blood shed for no reason, US only came to Afghanistan to conure it when they could of helped with nation building what a waste of 20 years nothing but blood shedding 😞😞😞

Finally a sorta sequel to this is what winning looks like
Whenever I seen an Afghan commander whining about lack of equipment, I remember that film…the despairing US Officer. And the Afghan police commander indignantly justifying buggering of young boys.
pretty sure the sequel was ben tweeting that half the featured afghans got dead and the field grade marine officer who was supervising/babysitting/advising/enabling a child rapist got promoted lol

@@vahebaldemian Exactly.
@@night-creature2213 And you would condemn the innocent and noble because of the actions of the few? Truly, American friendship is worth nothing.
As a marine it hurts seeing them alone but it’s because we could have left them some real help but it was either destroyed or taken away when we left and it somewhat leaves them vulnerable and naked all because we (USA) couldn’t risk our weapons or machinery to be hijacked and taken from the rites by the wrongs...may Allah protect you all

Well we dont want americans on our land we are more happy to be in hands of taliban or any other group then being with any alien regime.
@@calmstrong8038 I suspect that strongly depends on who you are. I imagine there's a lot of women in Afghanistan who aren't particularly keen on the thought of the Taliban taking over given the Taliban's extreme fundamentalist views.
@@altrag that also depend on what side you are standing, for you it may be religious extremism but not for us. You or any one cant impose your thinking or your way of life on us we are much more happy being a tribal community or following extremism then being a brainless Secular and liberal we are satisfied with our culture and traditions and fact is your media is manipulative with you, the show you what you want to see "make america great again" america was never great so stop interfering in others culture and the way they live thats not your business.
I hope that reporter doesn't get kidnapped and killed. She's so brave.
That likely won't happen, the talibans also follow a rule of their own. That's why there's alot of reporters going in and out. But eh, there's always that one guy who thinks he owns the world. So yes. I hope too.

I have searched this question and can not find an answer. Why were the citizens not removed from Afghanistan before the military left?
The thing America doesn’t teach these country’s how to be a self sufficient governed country. Once American forces leaves, these people talk like there’s no hope.
Money is the key. I read the Soviet Afghan forces, loyal to the USSR, held out well against the Taliban even after the Soviets left, until such time Soviet money ran out. But, like South Vietnam, who wants to keep paying to keep some bad guys out of power? The heck with them, let them fight their own way and if the people could care less if they are Taliban or not, that's their problem, not the USA's.
That’s literally what we’ve been doing for the 20 years. It did not work, it will not work.
That is false. Do more research. We have a lot of american tax money, billions, still helping rebuild the middle east the ignorant military guys damaged in our name. Please do more research, not true at all.. afghans got a ton of money. We need more people willing to go over there and rebuild, that is a huge thing they find people for. There is a lot of contracts you can look up to repair middle east right now online, and earn money if you know what youre doing.
they do though. They spend millions/billions on training/rebuilding and give them vehicles/equipment.

Not even slightly crazy, get them the hell out of there
It was a meaningless war. The US withdraws without any victory conditions. Their withdrawal will result in a power vacuum and may spell civil war.
It is proof that America lacked foresight when they invaded Iraq and Afghanistan. I would say their mission was unsuccessful. Now the US has a responsibility to finish what they started while reducing the blood shed.
Yeh. Cause they train more terrorists overnight and they come over here and bomb america again you idiot. That easy.... is it that much for you to comprehend? 🤡
@@slyny6052 we funded the Taliban by training rogue groups in Iraq and Afghanistan that went rogue after a while. I understand history man.

As Northern Alliance forces recaptured territory in the north, they reportedly carried out abuses against Pashtun communities who they believed had benefited from or collaborated with Taliban rule at the expense of other ethnic communities.
…As areas of northern Afghanistan came under Northern Alliance control, some Northern Alliance forces attacked local Pashtuns, beating men, raping women, and abducting civilians for ransom, according to human rights groups.
the Afghans could of had basic human rights without the invasion of the USA with the help of the northern alliance and the Afghan army committing war crimes and starting wars
David Beasley of the World Food Programme said Thursday that “the world’s worst humanitarian crisis is unfolding” in Afghanistan, where more than 22 million people could be at risk of starvation.
Even with the possibility of 22 million people at risk of starvation, America has opted to make the situation worse by preventing the Taliban from having access to the Afghan central bank’s assets that are currently frozen in the United States.
The Taliban does not have access to the Afghan central bank’s billions of dollars in reserves, the bulk of which have been frozen in the US.
How can you claim to be concerned about a country’s wellbeing when you have systematically ravaged the country through military intervention and are now, in a sense, sanctioning said country by holding their assets hostage? Is this western human rights in full display?
In the midst of all this, the troika seem to have much more superficial concerns in mind as per their joint statement.
At this point, the idea that these nations have a genuine humanitarian concern for Afghanistan is moot. Instead of tackling the potential loss of life as a primary concern these countries would rather leave the lives of the same women and children they are trying to liberalize in limbo and let them starve.

With the Taliban and Al Qaeda still in existence, operating in large swathes of Afghanistan, and still in possession of very great military firepower, they are very much a threat to the Afghan democratic government. The US withdrawal from Afghanistan should ONLY have occurred once these two forces have been thoroughly and completely beaten and removed from such power to ever be a threat to America and the Afghan democratic government again.

Absolutely. It’s people like him who siphon off money given by the US for Afghanistan. Afghan government is corrupt to the core !!!
That’s kind of the problem isn’t it? It’s problematic to look at Afghanistan the same way we look at a western nation. It’s foolish to assume that afghanis see themselves as citizens of Afghanistan. Instead, it’s much more complex. They more likely would identify with whatever tribe or clan they were born into. Some would identify more with their Pakistani heritage even.
We can’t just give them money like we would Germany for instance. Where we can have some faith that theyl use it to better Germany. When you give a bunch of money to Afghanistan. Whoever gets it is just going to use it for his clan. Or try to undermine some rival clan. They just don’t think about things like we do in the US.
If the USa never went into iraq they could have won this campaign. When they were being beaten by insurgents in Iraq this gave the taliban the will to fight so they've regrouped and followed the fighting style of terrorist in Iraq. and when that happen resources and man power was diverted to Iraq making it easier for the taliban to come back.

hmmm? IDK
Are warlords, rapists, thugs, and their western imperial masters the people we should pray for or fund? If these Western pseudo-activists don’t like the Taliban, surely they could have done better than to actively support and protest for warlord mercenaries that commit war crimes on the Afghan population.
Sadly, a large part of this movement included many Muslims - Afghan Muslims in particular. These individuals were, at best, ill-informed Muslims who believed that the Northern Alliance were innocent Muslims being attacked. At worst, they intentionally prayed for the world to support Northern Alliance terrorism on the Afghan population.
Will these unconscionable warlord advocates be shunned? Will they have to answer for supporting mercenaries that were heavily supported by Russia and America alike to terrorize the innocent Afghan civilians? Truly the cognitive dissonance is sickening.
…Abdul Rashid Dostum, terrorized Pashtun villages in Faryab, accusing them of supporting the Taliban…
The United States was inevitably linked to the abuses of its allies: In November 2001, Dostum’s forces massacred as many as 2,000 Taliban prisoners who were captured or had surrendered outside Kunduz.
…In early 2002, former Taliban wrote to the new Afghan president Hamid Karzai, offering to lay down arms and recognize the government. Instead, Gul Agha Sherzai, a powerful tribal leader the United States embraced, later accused of corruption, had them imprisoned and tortured by the National Directorate of Security…the intelligence agency created by the CIA… so tell me who are the good guys again ?>
As Northern Alliance forces recaptured territory in the north, they reportedly carried out abuses against Pashtun communities who they believed had benefited from or collaborated with Taliban rule at the expense of other ethnic communities.
…As areas of northern Afghanistan came under Northern Alliance control, some Northern Alliance forces attacked local Pashtuns, beating men, raping women, and abducting civilians for ransom, according to human rights groups.

In the US we have come to revere the natives that were conquered here and the tenacity with which they fought. Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce has dams and roads named in his honor. He refused to officially give up their land even when he surrendered to protect their remaining people from extinction. Not only do Americans understand and relate to the fighting spirit in protecting one’s homeland, we idolize it. Hence our second amendment and gun rights. That is why the government has to hide what they’re doing to other people. That’s why the government wants to take our guns away. They know if we, the American people found out that the pentagon is killing people for control of opioids and oil, we would turn coat and rebel.

The U.S. government has only been in talks with the Taliban since the Trump admin though. Which is probably what he means.
Ronan Farrow (Journalist) who worked for Hilary Clinton during the Obama years states in his book "War on Peace" that a senior member of the Taliban asked to negotiate with the Obama admin on U.S. withdrawal.
He also explains the Obama admin shut the idea down. As they saw it as a negative concept when Obama was running for re-election.
Trump was told about this soon after taking the presidency. He then sent Mike Pompeo to Afghanistan to negotiate terms between the Taliban and the Kabul government.
It went no where. The Taliban asked for majority seats on an Afghan parliament as well as resignation of the President of Kabul.
When the Kabul government said these were non starters the Taliban began targeting schools where Girls attend. Including bombings on UN Humans rights workers from Kabul.
The U.S. leaving now does nothing positive for Kabul. It will simply return to how Afghan has gone for thousands of years. Tribes fighting one another.

Regardless of how the Afghans may have felt about Americans troops, there was always an understanding of the importance of American support.
