While they would normally be taking a traditional winter break from front-line duty, Taliban fighters have been called to action amid growing concerns that the Biden administration will not withdraw troops by the agreed May deadline.
Will this endless war continue?
Let’s hope not.
“Senior commanders and governors have been directed to return to their positions and attend special sessions and discussions to chalk out a future strategy,” one Taliban commander in Helmand province said, according to NBC News.
He added there were “multiple issues” that the movement’s leadership needed to address, including a “deadlock” in the peace talks with the Afghan government and doubts about the future raised by the Biden administration.
The comments come amid warnings about escalating violence from local and foreign officials, with Joe Biden debating what to do next in America’s longest war.
There are currently around 2,500 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, which is the lowest number since 2001.
If Joe Biden were to continue with the withdrawal, this would mark the end to nearly 20 years of war in Afghanistan, but would risk emboldening the Taliban in a new civil war.
A Taliban political leader in Doha, Qatar said that commanders of “important” districts had been recalled to their positions, according to NBC News.
He also said that the group’s plan is to try and capture important provinces in the event that talks with the Afghan government fail and Biden keeps troops in the country beyond the set deadline.
“History has proven that the Afghan Mujahid nation can valiantly defend its values, soil, homeland and rights,” Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in a statement this week.
The Biden team said it is reviewing the situation in Afghanistan, and is prepared to delay the withdrawal if necessary.

Welp, here is the deal, with the Keystone Pipeline shut down, fracking on government lands stoped, a moratorium on oil will all lead to one thing… We will no longer be energy independent and will once again have to purchase our oil from the Arabs and Moscow. Which will force us to be right in the middle of all the fighting the Arabs do. So, the endless wars will continue and we will be adding more troops and putting our soldiers’ lives at risk for no good reason at all.
Miss Trump yet?
Yep, let’s just stay in that country forever. It will make the deep state happy and we have to keep the deep state happy, otherwise, we white supremacists will end up in concentration camps and we will be censored.
Perhaps we should have just dropped a few nukes on it, back when we Kicked this whole war off?? MAYBE WE wouldn’t still be embroiled there, TWO DECADES later!
Afghan tribal leaders have always gone with where the strength lies. When America leaves, they will just go back to doing what they do best,,,,,,oppressing their own people and killing each other. We had opportunities in the beginning to nuke Bin Laden within the safe confines of the Afghan mountains with few if any collateral casualties or spread of radioactive contamination. Next time thanks to the Democrats, we will be too much in debt to defend ourselves with a conventional war, to accomplish in 20 years what could have been accomplished in one day with two highly placed nukes that would have dropped a mountain on Bid laden and cut short the pain of his ever being born. Concepts of freedom and democracy cannot live in the same mind as Mohammedanism. Why we ever tried to make this happen is beyond reason and if we have not learned after 20 years and trillions of dollars spent to defend European access to oil then we deserve whatever follows. When in doubt pull troops out, so Joe can let more of them into our borders, beds, schools, neighborhoods and communities and try to prove a concept that history has already shown. Oil and Water don’t mix and neither does Mohammedanism and concepts of Liberty. You do however get what you vote for when your hate of one President makes you do dumb things like their Muslim hate in the middle east of Jews and Christians overcomes their love of their own children’s future. Democrats/Muslims, brothers in hate.
