Afghan gov officials have more chances of survival then tham
The senior officials will get killed as well if they refuse to surrender when the Taliban come and knock on their door.
Good riddance. The Afgan Gov is a US and Indian puppet which causes countless troubles to Pakistan.
They will get cleaned up, and with Pakistan, China, Iran (Russia?) supporting the Taliban it will lock out the western powers.
Did you guys notice that Taliban first strike was at the North which borders the Central Asia countries .... They are closing off any potential entry from there helping the Gov.
It seems that Taliban have learnt their lesson on how the Western plays with them.
First control the borders to stop any Western help (interference..), and from there start from the weakly governed rural areas, build up forces, supply lanes, training bases etc, and gradually start approaching the major rural population centers.
How are these big population cities going to get food, water, energy, and other daily necessities when they get surrounded by the Taliban lol
The local gov will then have a choice between surrendering and getting starved...
Which is why in the following days we will start hearing about cities falling into Taliban hands.
China should stay out of this mess, and wait for the Taliban to clean up.
Btw do we have any Pakistani member here? What are the chances of Pakistan going for a quick landgrab on the Wakhan Corridor in order to get direct border acess with Tajikistan. This would have a tremendous geostrategic benefit for Pakistan getting direct access to Central Asia
Ofc I doubt China would agree on losing direct access on Afghanistan
