The 2021 Taliban offensive and events leading up to it.
If I was Ghani, I’d covertly supplement Afghan forces with Blackwater mercenaries.
Though they deny the Taliban are in the city, Maiwand 215th Corps still sent SOF KKA reinforcements to Lashkargah city.

Ghani is not Assad, so they should be careful about deriving strategy from that.

Democratic socialism by means of US sponsorship failed to perform, so warlords are the new boyfriends.

Russia bombing Syrian hospitals to dislodge rebels from cities in 2015 was such a big deal, the NY Times was still investigating it in 2019.
Hospital in Lashkargah, Helmand struck from above. Not sure if Kabul or USAF, but B-52s were spotted by locals and there was a USAF B-52 bombing run in that area around that time.
The official Taliban account is accusing the Indian Air Force of being involved, I have no idea what that is all about, might be a play to force Pakistan to close their airspace to B-52 flyovers.
In any case, the Russians used this strategy to dislodge rebels from hospitals in Aleppo, Syria in 2015, and I recall the Democrats who wanted Assad to go being angry about it at the time.
No doubt, they’ll be vocal about it this time as well.
