What they’re upset about, the more so because despite driving us out they can’t actually do anything about it:
US illegally occupying Afghanistan’s Airspace: Taliban

[KhaamaPress] The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan in a statement on Tuesday, September 28 said that the US has no right and is illegally occupying the airspace of Afghanistan.

The Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
 say that the US’s drones have recently been seen to be flying over the airspace of Afghanistan which is in violation of the international laws and the pledges of the United States.

"This violation of international law has to be rectified and stopped." Reads the statement.

The statement reads that the government of the Taliban is safeguarding the land and aerial space of Afghanistan and all the countries including the US must respect the international laws and pledges and have to get engaged with Afghanistan based on mutual respect.

Earlier, Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby had said that the US needs drone attacks against bandidos gunnies in Afghanistan and they do not need permission from the Taliban.

Kirby also said that he was not sure to be needing such permission in the future.
Tolo News adds:
“We retain all necessary authorities to execute over the horizon counterterrorism operations and we remain confident in these capabilities moving forward without speaking to specific rules of engagement surrounding airstrikes. There is currently no requirement to clear airspace with the Taliban and we do not expect that any future over the horizon counterterrorism strikes would hinge on such a clearance,” US Department of Defense spokesman John Kirby said on Saturday.

#3  Technically, does a nuclear-tipped ballistic missile count as an airspace violation?
