The Taliban stood up to the great satan and held their ground.

You're pretty schizophrenic about your stance on the US. You constantly criticize the US whilst constantly praising Donny, who literally represents the US. Why is that? You're not trying to sow discord amongst the American population, are you?

Incredible courage and tenacity on their part.

Agreed.

Afghans simply won’t be subdued. Everyone has tried and failed.

Everyone? When did Japan try? When did Argentina try? When did NoKo try?

Here's a golden opportunity for the Taliban to have their cake and eat it too. Trump is the master blunderer when it comes to foreign policy decisions with dictators around the globe clicking their heels in triumph.

The Taliban want to keep IS al Qaeda etc. out anyway. No ceasefire required either? From the Taliban view, what’s not to like? Deal of the century.

From the Afghan govt POV hmmm...
