Mixed rumors right now but it seems that the Government resistance forces in Afghanistan hit Taliban forces as they were maneuvering to enter Panjshir.

Taliban took heavy casualties.

This may be the most hilarious weapon system fielded by any military in the world
It’s a Bulsae-3 ATGM mounted in the back of an agricultural tractor. They seem to be very similar to ones featured in a state visit in 2017 to the Kumsong Tractor Factory.

New Taliban government. There's a lot to unpack here.

Haqqani (yes, that Haqqani, State Department), the interior minister, has a $5 million US bounty on his head.

Rumors are the new Defense Minister Yaqoob is backed by the Saudis

The new PM Mullah Akhund is under UN sanctions. He's been the head of the Rehbari Shura, or leadership council. He was previously the foreign minister and then deputy prime minister during the Taliban’s last stint in power from 1996-2001.

There seems to be a certain corner of the left wing press lashing out at pretty much every single other press org over Afghanistan. Calling them warmongers, saying that they helped cause the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and asking why they aren’t blaming this on Trump.
It’s the job of the press, especially in Washington, to hold those in power accountable for their actions. That’s what they are doing now.
Trump may have designed the current situation in Afghanistan but Biden put the plan into effect.
