ISIS vs Taliban

>>32983187
I don't think anyone can really kill a group like Isis or the taliban like you could with an enemy nation because even if you kill all current members, there's no stopping new people from taking up the mantle

>>32983226
And yet ISIS is doing it. All that matters is a lack of RoE ad stupid war conventions.

>Raise taliban to kill iraqis

Nice documentary.
Could someone re-upload pic related somewhere else? It's region locked and I can't read it if i'm using a proxy.

>implying you can win in a tribal setting

Warlords are just changing alliances for free hand outs or because they think X faction will be more beneficial to them. Nothing really changes.

If Japan lands in Korea and gets every Korean province to change its name and become a part of Imperial Japan, Japan wins.

Same with ISIS vs the Taliban. ISIS can make a few examples of the Taliban and force the rest to follow its will.

>Is ISIS doing what the Brits, the Russians, the Americans, and everyone else have failed to do? Can they defeat the Taliban?

If those three had decided they wanted to "defeat" the Taliban, it wouldn't have been hard. Only thing stopping us was RoE and not wanting to carpetbomb civillians, as well as the fact that it was an ideological war, and everyone knew that we wouldn't be there forever.

How did the nazis deal with guerillas?

>>32983187
ISIS are getting btfo of the middle east and africa currently desu.

They're not going to have enough manpower to deal with the taliban aswell.

>>32984478
Not by respecting civillians or human rights, thats for damn sure.

>>32983187
Defeating the Taliban was never the aim. The Bongs were just in it for the ride, and the Russians were never in it at all.

>Who is winning now?

Humanity is winning because it's fewer goat fucking Islamists all round.
