Taliban could possibly seize power by overrunning the Afghan government: Trump
[KhaamaPress] The U.S. President Donald Trump
...the Nailer of NAFTA...
has said the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
group could possibly seize power by overrunning the Afghan government after withdrawal of the U.S. forces.

Trump made the remarks during an interaction with the reports on Friday, days after Washington and Taliban group signed a peace deal in Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
Responding to a question regarding eventual seizure of power from the Afghan government, Trump said it is "not supposed to happen that way but it possibly will".
He's not wrong
He also added "We can’t be there for the next 20 years. We’ve been there for 20 years and we’ve been protecting the country but we can’t be there for the next ‐ eventually, they’re going to have to protect themselves."

This comes as the U.S. and Taliban group recently signed a peace deal after observing a 7-day reduction in violence. The two sides signed the agreement after almost 18 months of negotiations in Qatari capital of Doha.

President Trump spoke with the deputy political chief of the Taliban group for 35 minutes, days after the signing of peace deal between Washington and Taliban.

Meanwhile,
...back at the shootout, Butch shot Black Bart's knife out of his hand......
the Taliban group has announced it is committed to the launch of intra-Afghan talks if peace deal provisions are implemented.

The release of 5,000 Taliban prisoners was reportedly included in the agreement as one of the key prerequisites for the launch of intra-Afghan talks.

However,
man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them...
President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani
...former chancellor of Kabul University, now president of Afghanistan. Before returning to Afghanistan in 2002 he was a scholar of political science and anthropology. He worked at the World Bank working on international development assistance. As Finance Minister of Afghanistan between July 2002 and December 2004, he led Afghanistan's attempted economic recovery until the Karzais stole all the money...
had earlier said only the Afghan government can decide regarding the release of Taliban prisoners.

Reacting to release of Taliban prisoners ahead of intra-Afghan talks, Ghani said last week the release of Talibs should not be included as a prerequisite for the launch of intra-Afghan talks.

#1 To avoid that, why not break the damn place up now along ethnic lines. Still thinking the discredited 'nation building' game.

#3 Leaving it to the taliban, and choosing to abstain from re-entering this shithole will not only be astute strategy wise, it'll also give rich dividends back home for the Republican party, and to America in the long run.

As the taliban creates a filthier islamic product than the daesh did, in a country that tried to accommodate both islam and democracy the Leftist community's pro-islamic propaganda will be further discredited. The ensuing calvin-ball must not be interfered with, no matter what the compulsion - and you'll see a major part of the sasquatch world decimate itself. Other Asian actors shall have to contain the mess and will subsequently either weaken themselves or emerge more responsible future allies. Both outcomes can benefit America.
